Arkanius Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 So the Top DX11 Requirments, require a Fermi card that isn't even out yet. Superb. Well played THQ, well played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+virtorio MVC Posted February 26, 2010 MVC Share Posted February 26, 2010 Reading that reminded me of why I got out of PC gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagisan Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 So the Top DX11 Requirments, require a Fermi card that isn't even out yet. Superb. Well played THQ, well played Likely similar performance ATI DX11 cards. Based on the requirements, they seem to heavily favor nVidia though, so they probably optimized the game for nVidia cards (not a single mention of ATI cards in any of their requirements). That being said, never heard of the game till now, doesn't seem to be my style game either. So good luck to those who wish to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted February 26, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 26, 2010 This game looks absolutely amazing visually from the screens I have seen, so not surprised by these specs. So I should be able to run it Medium to High without any of the fancy DX11 stuff. Who knows though by the time it comes out I very well may pick up a DX11 card. Unlikely but possible.

Sethos Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 So this is the new Crysis, then? Appears so and about time, we needed another Benchmark milestone! Although, now we have to hear people moan and whine like 3 year olds how their PCs can't cope, how lame it is etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minifig Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 :blink: Good God. I hope the game is actually worth playing for the recommended stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goji Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 ^ I'm beginning to wonder if the added ram and power is compensation for less efficient coding. :whistle: I can wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted February 26, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 26, 2010 Interesting, but understandable. Game developers should have more realistic requirements. I just hope the game performs well. As for the game being optimized for NVIDIA video cards, I highly doubt it. ATI has had their DX11 video cards out for a while now and they worked with most DX11 developers. NVIDIA is simply too late to the playing field with their DX11 video cards.

Zain Adeel Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 the game doesnt look so pretty... i suspect bad optimizations.. like crysis.. but atleast it looked way ahead of its time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted February 26, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 26, 2010 well it is out next month so good luck on your DX11 purchase I had no idea it released next month, I thought this was like a Holiday release. So yeah, no way at all I will be getting a DX11 card by the time this game comes out, no way at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zain Adeel Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 i hope my GTS250 can run it well on a low res like 1024x768 for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleo Global Moderator Posted February 26, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted February 26, 2010 Looks like we've got another Crysis on our hands. Most likely - like Crysis, 2+ years after its release it'll still cost a fortune to run maxed out at a decent framerate. I wouldn't even count on it running maxed out decently on a Fermi 480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inklin Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 It'll be 2033 by the time most people have got a PC capable of playing this game :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, now we have to hear people moan and whine like 3 year olds how their PCs can't cope, how lame it is etc. Those same people are likely the ones moaning and kvetching about the eased-up graphical requirements of Supreme Commander 2 compared to the original (which had system requirements that rivaled those of Crysis) and the eased-up *brain* requirements of most of the RTS cycle in general (not just Supreme Commander 2, but C&C 4 and Starcraft 2, not to mention Sins of a Solar Empire).

rajputwarrior Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 i saw the trailer for this game and i don't understand why the sys requirements are soo high... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qdave Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Havent heard of this game really :p But specs seem reasonable, especially because of my recent upgrade :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1759 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 The game looks 'meh', in spite of the high requirements. After seeing the GTX480 benchmark on engadget, in how it basically matches the 6 month old HD 5870 in most benches, I don't care what Nvidia is up to, glad I stuck with ATI on my new build. Honestly, it reminds me a lot of the Metro in Fallout 3, just darker, and different enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammers Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I don't get why people give companys **** for releasing games that require yet to be released hardware to run them at full settings. I could understand if the game didn't look great but that's not the case with this game. Sure it's recommended system requirements are about the same as most new fps's optimum but you can be sure that even at medium settings it'll look as good or better than many new games on the market. Do you guys not want the option to play it again at even better gfx in a year or two if you happen to upgrade your hardware? Why should a company dumb down a games gfx just so current hardware can run it on high. As a pc gamer i would like (hope) to think that we are not to stupid to just slide the bar down to high/medium instead of getting a low framerate at max and complaining. edit: i know most of the people who posted in this thread aren't complaining, im just ranting because i know hundreds of people will complain like they did with crysis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
