Some of you may have seen the Assassin’s Creed PC Requirements today. I find them interesting considering some of the rumours surrounding another PC game of lofty requirements, Crysis.

Everybody that I know has applauded the graphics of Assassin’s Creed on the Xbox 360, myself included. So, if you assume the graphics on the PC are comparable, then that really says something about the power of the 360.

Crytek has said over and over again that Crysis is a PC game, they haven’t developed a console version, and that it wasn’t their intention. Nevertheless, perhaps it’s not that big of stretch to get a Crysis-level PC killer on the consoles.

At the same time, it’s truly an argument against spending lots of money on top of the line PC gaming rigs. You can use reasonably priced PCs to play most games that you wouldn’t play on a console. Games like strategy games.

Maybe PC game developers should focus more on console titles with PC games getting work on afterwards.

Update - Jan 29

This actually came out a couple days ago, but it seems like I’m not crazy, and Crysis could be taken to the consoles.
