"The PC version of Assassin's Creed 3 is delayed beyond the October 30 release date scheduled for consoles, Ubisoft creative lead Alex Hutchinson confirmed today at a San Diego Comic-Con panel. The PC iteration is set to launch before Christmas, "near the console launch," Hutchinson said." -Joystiq

Their DRM gives a lot of legitimate owners trouble, myself included. Some of the project leads have also made some disparaging remarks about PC gamers. I just want the games I payed for to work.

I already feel the scorn of being a PC gamer....it's only been 4 days...

C'mon Ubisoft

Not surprised, Ubisoft sucks at PC.

Typical Ubisoft PC treatment.

Was never going get this Day 1, so I am not too fussed.

This seems appropriate to both the tone and content of this thread.

You lonely pc gaming souls...

Ubisoft delaying a PC version? NOWAIBRO

1. I found the Ubisoft PC titles themselves and ports actually pretty decent overall. In fact I even prefer the PC controls of the AC franchise to console controls (due to easier camera control hence more precise traversal/jumping)
2. The Ubisoft DRM however has been pretty bad and has prevented me from playing the games I purchased several times.
3. That said the AC series have pretty much always come out later for PC at every iteration, so this is not exactly surprising.

This reminds me of this interview GameSpy did:

GameSpy: So when's the PC release date?
Ubisoft PR: October 30th.
GameSpy: Yeah, but when's therealPC release date?
Ubisoft PR: It's October 30th.
GameSpy: Uh huh. And can you say that with a straight face?
Ubisoft PR: You can ask me as many times as you like, but the answer will be the same.
GameSpy: Very well, let's move on. So, when will you announce the delay of the PC version?
Ubisoft PR: ...

Anyone that bought From Dust PC when it launched knows what Ubisoft on PC is all about.

That's still before the end of the world, right?

I'm shocked, SHOCKED I tell ya!

Well, still gonna buy it for PC on the day it launches

Exactly what I was thinking of.

Played all four Assassin's Creed games on PC and loved them. They look great, they run great, the DRM is near flawless, mouse & keyboard controls are perfect, and the games themselves are masterpieces. 
 
AC3 delayed? Means more polish, a better game, so hell yeah I don't mind.

After From Dust on PC Ubisoft can get fucked, and then fucked again by a minotaur.

but Driver SF was superb on the PC.

i judge on a game by game basis

No surprise there, but at least it'll give me some more time to play other games that are releasing around that time of year.

Has any AC game not come out way later on PC ? I sorta figured they weren't even aiming for a PC release the same day....

A Ubisoft PC release delayed? Say it isn't so!

Indeed, he was a brilliant asshole, and God bless him for it. :P

@Meowshi: Touché. Still don't see him being an asshole, though. Bolder and more persistent than your average interviewer, sure, but an asshole? Nah.

I think that's what is most interesting in this entire report.

so they will delay. I am not surprise at all. this is what they do for PC gamers. it's an excuse that they need more time to make a port to PC. but look, Ubi.

you delayed 'ghost recon future soldier' as well. but what was really improved anyway? few patches did even make a game worse. what's up with slowing down frame rate so much for mission 10 to 12?

why is it happened even I play it with my powerful gaming laptop? I just don't accept such a excuse anymore.

After From Dust on PC Ubisoft can get fucked, and then fucked again by a minotaur.

One minor game gets a shitty port so you're denying yourself from the awesomeness of the rest of their pc library? Maybe you should stop acting like a whiny little child and make decisions based on how the actual game runs on a pc.

Maybe you should shut the fuck up and let me decide if I want to hand over $60 to a publisher that green lights a PC port with literally unplayable mouse controls. If you don't treat every Ubisoft PC release with skepticism, you will be burned.

I'm done here.

They're not flawless at all. Assassin's Creed games have always had messed up mouse controls. It's rather annoying that they can't get it right. In the first game it was only a slight problem that the cameras movements were based off of acceleration. Some how they managed to make it even worse for the other three games. Then the developer has the gall to insinuate that their games work better with a gamepad then with their crippled mouse and keyboard implementation. It's funny how they forgot to mention that none of the Assassin's Creed games really utilized analogue control in the first place. They didn't even use 8 directions for combat targeting and climbing.

Serves those dirty, filthy pirates right.

So kinda hiyaking the thread. I head Ubi will drop their DRM with ACIII. That got me excited about playing it on the PC. What will it be. Straight up the steam stuff? I will play this with a controller anyway.

@Wuddel: I think they are yes, should slow down people being all uppity about that stuff for a while.

playing the PS3 version... and its horrible.. Low Frame rate ,shadows and alias issues..

in some spots, its fairly unplayable :(

People should know already know better then purchase Ubisoft games.

There, I fixed it for ya.

TeeHee. ;)

Steam said Nov 2012 anyway, so I expected it to be released around the end of November.

There's not even a shortage of games until AC3s release
