Watch Dogs PC specs released (updated)

This week, Ubisoft revealed the PC specs for upcoming open-world action title Watch Dogs. The requirements and recommended settings are higher than some gamers expected. With the next-generation of consoles coming (both of which have eight-core CPUs), we're expecting that developers are going to be freer to demand more power from the PC versions.
