14 DAY TRIAL // Ubisoft's Sylvain Trottier, the Associate Producer for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, believes that PC gamers who want a game to run well on their computer should just buy a "bigger GPU" as a title's performance on that platform isn't a developer's main concern.
Assassin's Creed 4 appeared on PC earlier this week after already launching for PS3 and Xbox 360 last month, and quite a few players are complaining of poor performance for the game even on powerful configurations.
While talking to Edge magazine, via Videogamer, about a game's performance on consoles and PC, Trottier revealed a rather surprising strategy.
"It's always a question of compromise about the effect, how it looks, and the performance it takes from the system. On PC, usually you don't really care about the performance, because the idea is that if it's not [running] fast enough, you buy a bigger GPU. Once you get on console, you can't have this approach."
This blunt strategy is certain to cause a controversy, especially since Black Flag requires tinkering even on computers with great graphics cards.
