"That moment will be even longer for the PC-focused gamer, with ACIII joining a long line of Ubisoft games in releasing on the platform a while after its initial outing on the consoles – in this case, November 23rd. Asked about this delay, Phillipe was apologetic.
“Our core development platforms are always the consoles, and getting a game out on PC – I don’t want to say it’s an easy thing, but it’s not quite as complicated as a console build. They’ve got limited specs, Microsoft and Sony have an approval process: overall it’s a lot more strict,” he explains. “So we know that once we get approved to ship on consoles, it’s not as big a deal about shipping on PC.”
“I think there’s also a business decision here, though… we know there’s piracy on PC,” he elaborates further. “I don’t know why exactly those decisions occur, though – we don’t really have anything to do with that. We just make the best games possible.”"
Anyone got a link to that interview where the developer said "PC version won't be delayed, is coming 30th of October" and the interviewer said "No, really, when is the game REALLY launching on the PC?"
A little weird considering their new-ish interview with RPS regarding their "unfortunate" comments about piracy on PC.
I wish they would just come clean and say "look, we think that if we put out the PC version at the same time, we would gain less cash. See, most console users are too dumb to know that they can run pirate games on it (even 3 weeks before release, hi Gears of War 3!), so by pushing the release date of the PC version 3 weeks back we get more morons to buy our game on X360/PS3. That's all, no hard feelings."

Well, at least the game will have no DRM, so that's decent I suppose.
On the PS360. I reckon it'll still have uPlay on PC
uPlay is hardly a DRM, just a achievement system with in-game rewards, which I actually think is pretty nice. However, you can play AC3 fully offline after you activate it one time using the internet.

I meant that AC3 has no "always online" DRM that Ubi was known for.
How do you do that?
I'm in the options now and can't find anything like that...
Nevermind, just found it. ^_^
Wait what? AC3 isn't out yet.

Unfortunately Patrice Désilets is not a part of Ubisoft anymore, too bad, he had a lot of passion about every AC game he created. It was always fun watching his E3 presentations just to hear the excitement in his voice.

Yeah he was a cool guy , that presentation was also incredibly impressive for the time, I still remember that I was in awe when I first saw AC in motion.
Actually, I kind of do. This is the finale isn't it? Desmond and Altair/Ezio/etc story arc comes to an end? I wanna play it then. I've yet to play more than forty odd minutes of AC2, none of Brotherhood, none of Revelations.
Finale?
Didn't Ubisoft discuss turning the franchise into a yearly product ("Assassins Creed 2014 looks so amazomg yo"), and no longer talk about trilogies?
