Farcry 4

Ubisoft has released the Far Cry 4 system requirements, along with a sexy new trailer detailing all the fancy four-letter acronyms that will make the game look especially swanky on high-end rigs

Far Cry 4 may not be a revolutionary leap beyond its predecessors, but if you've got the hardware to handle it, I expect it'll look pretty.

And in case you missed it, Ubisoft also announced today that for unspecified reasons (but that likely have to do with money), Far Cry 4, along with The Crew and Assassin's Creed: Unity, will not be released on Steam in the UK.
