    Well this is at an unoptimized state at the time so it should improve overtime… r-right?

    • End0rphine

      A game that is barely even a demo (more a proof of concept) won’t get optimizations obviously.

    • Its using Unity engine…so…..nope…

      • 5british5 .

        nasty

  • Master Bating

    Hopefully this means theyll pack the whole game with the details they put in the demo.
    Sh*ts amazing.

    • durka durka

      Well the demo is shorter than the original demo so we will see if they manage it, btw doom is 700k. cry some more.

      • Master Bating

        Lol, they put it on 30% sale after it sold like sh*t and you’re telling me to cry?
        Im laughing my a*s off

  • Dawid Freeman

    Those specs are for the DEMO

  • Its time to add another part of 8 gigs.. 🙂

    • Akirascreaming

      Yeah 😀 same

  • Edward Phelan

    2 GB available space?

  • S0ldier

    And to think people said 16 GB would be redundant.

    • Prithvi Boinpally

      It might well be. A lot of times games recommend more RAM than necessary just in case.

      • S0ldier

        Right, who knows?
        But for Star Citizen, I’m sure it’s necessary.

    • Sir Dank

      Good thing I jumped the shark and went with an unusable 32GB RAM. lol

      • S0ldier

        It may be usable, if you’d like to have 3 Star Citizens running at once.

      • Paul Insco

        Ramdisk broham

        • Sir Dank

          I know I’ve looked into that a few times, never ended up doing it. Any suggested software?

  • Min64

    I guess i could buy a 8gb upgrade. i was holding off until i really needed it. Ram is pretty cheap anyway.

  • Originaru

    DX11 only, what a surprise..
    16gigs of ram on dx11 title LOL, something is going on here.

  • 8GB RAM Minimum… Unity Engine….

  • AMD_Afficionado

    DX11 is almost a decade old, and is technologically obsolete, but yet it is still notable when a game is DX11 exclusive. 🙁

    • Sun Streaker

      Better than it being locked to Win 10 only.

      • AMD_Afficionado

        But not as good as Vulkan…or using AMD’s GPUOpen tools that, effectively, backport some of DX12’s functionality to DX11.

        • Sun Streaker

          Had it been using Vulkan I would agree, but it;s using neither as far as things go, I’d rather have access to the game than not having access at all in this case I can access it on my current OS without having to erase my current one for a different OS.

    • Paul Insco

      Because it makes little business sense not to include dx9, considering there’s still a huge amount of people out there that can’t run dx11.

      • AMD_Afficionado

        Anyone without a DX11 capable GPU couldn’t run this game anyhow as DX11 has been available in cards for at least 7 years, so their setup would be extremely dated.

  • Gordon Freeman

    Please be a Win10 only and don’t forget Denuvo.

    • John

      agreed. this game looks like true kino, dont want casuals,reditards, or pirates touching it.

    • Paul Insco

      RTFA? It’s a short article ffs. Clearly says Windows 7 through 10. 4 people upvoted you? lol

      • Gordon Freeman

        Mannnnnn it’s just srcsm, i don’t give a 5#!7 about this game, the System Requirements is WTF.

  • durka durka

    Look guys this 8gb nonsense is getting on my nerve RECOMMENDED 16 GB.
    Ok how about i get 84 gb just to be safe?

    • Paul Insco

      8GB can get saturated pretty easily these days.

  • Umair Khan

    Unoptimized at this stage. Things will improve as the game enters in final stages of development.

  • Marius Urucu

    16 GB of RAM recommended. Only 2 GB of hard drive space… Progress.

  • TenmillionDead

    So what I’m understanding is that my 670, which can play alien isolation at 1440p and 60fps at max settings, won’t be able to run this in a similar fashion. Haven’t seen anything from this game warranting such a high requirement.. except unity I guess.

    • Paul Insco

      Bingo, unity is the problem.

  • Sun Streaker

    Good, more people being able to play it the better, especially when it’s not locked to one OS.

  • A turkey from Turkey

    Is building a game in Unity so much easier than say in UE or Cry(like a prom queen on an anime fan)Engine and that’s the main reason behind using that demanding engine?

    The requirements are quite ridiculous for what I see on the screen.

    What sticks out the most is HDD/RAM/VRAM ratio in recommended specs – 16 GB RAM ; 2 GB HDD ; 4 GB VRAM.

    I’m no tech savvy Unity developer so could someone explain it to a dilettante like me?

    • John

      yeah, its called update your pc you casual. finally a game comes along pushing pc specs and graphics and people cry about it………. ugh….. obvious new pc player jumping on the meme bandwagon. go back to your console, okay kiddo?

      • Amir

        Oh, shut up. now making ridiculous system requirements means pushing PC specs and graphics ? looks like you are a new pc player and forget about optimization and lazy devs. brute forcing your way in is not pushing anything, it’s just bad coding specially for a game that don’t look that good (Hitman or most AAA game out there or even SS Demo) to begin with.

        • Paul Insco

          He even upvoted his own comment lol dudes pathetic.

          • Amir

            He always upvote himself, lol

      • Paul Insco

        >pushing pc specs and graphics
        >Unity Engine

        Pick one.

        • John

          someone couldnt run the demo.

  • BigBOSS

    16 gb ram lol, higher than open world Witcher 3

    • John

      cant afford 8 more gigs of ram? ddr4 8 gb goes for like 25-30 bucks….

  • Amir

    Nope, there are no good Unity games out there, and alpha was just an unoptimized mess even on high end hardwares. please end yourself re*ard.
