Annnnnd they screwed up the pc version, again….
How so?
Other than the 8Gb RAM everything else seems reasonable for a AAA current gen multi-platform game. And that 8 GB RAM will probably be used to store data for the huge amount of NPCs and massively huge levels.
The alpha videos didnt impressed me at all, plus a sandy bridge quad core minimum, arent they pushing it a little bit ? Even the witcher 3 doesnt need these specs..
Can’t compare, not even the same engine….
yeap, so crappy engine 🙂 I mean it’s like saying that we should not compare a Mercedes to a BMW because it’s not the same engine, if the result is bad comparing to others, the problem is the non-optimal use of the engine..
Can’t compare benz to bmw hence my point. Whatever the result.
actually tested it and i understand why it needs a 2500k, my 4720HQ was at 80% with all these NPC’s on screen and even at 30fps, the graphics were excellent !
how much will g2a charge per episode since you use them?
good
I played the Alpha build and am not surprised by this. The graphics looked amazing but it was obviously a very demanding game. So no surprise at all that the final game will be reasonably demanding as well, unless they downgraded the visuals a lot, which is not a good idea at all if developers have learned anything in the last couple of years.
How did you bro just wondering how can i play it?
Some tester leaked it and I got it from some torrent site. It looked like Assassin’s Creed Unity maybe even slightly better.
i see you are a pirate and i thought it was bad that u used g2a before.torrent sites is where pc piracy happens.way to admit that you steal games and you are a pirate…good job
if he delets it this is what fasterthanflt said
Some tester leaked it and I got it from some torrent site. It looked like Assassin’s Creed Unity maybe even slightly better.
he admitted he uses torrent sites for games which means pc piracy
Tell everything to his mom.
you must do the same thing to if you dont care.
No shock. Game is going to be a beast for Visuals. Now if it’s fun as blood money with the visuals to boot. It’s just gonna be a better reason to own it an own it on PC XD.
That’s what i was hoping for with the last game. The same formula as Blood Money, just with modern graphics. Sadly we got some crappy game where at the end of a mission, instead of killing your target and escaping we get a cut scene of us failing.
Wait a second… 770 / 290X WTF
290 not 290x, but still not equal.
5% less…..
Nvidia new “FPS DOESN’T WORKS”
proud of my old GK104(GTX 680) still on the recommended
So i guess Ultra maxed out 60+ FPS 1080p.
pre-ordering one of my fav games!
this is the chopped up episode hit man?
F*ck ya, suck it Hvd!!!
i deleted it clown to re post something else
Funny, the email notification I got says ^this comment read “people cant handle the truth.a lot of mods are idiots.” before you edited it. Besides, I would have been told the comment was deleted, not removed by a mod, if that were the case. Nice try, clown.
like i said i deleted that to you can change your mind on a post.
The comment was deleted by Hvd. We did not remove it. Just to clarify things.
‘The post you are trying to reply to has been REMOVED BY A MODERATOR’
i deleted it.its not that hard i can delete this one right after i posted.that is an automated response after the post is no longer there.
8 GBs of RAM for what?
Everyone talking like the graphics will make or break this game failed to realize how bad the AI was in the alpha?
hahaha yeah like consoles can dig those requirements lol
no console gamer would buy chopped up episode crap like this.except maybe ffx but thats ps4..lol
And no us pc gamers will buy episodic games. I was going to buy it day one unless they announced that it will be episodic . After that i decided to wait till the game is complete and then buy it.
The Walking Dead series and Wolf Among Us sold quite well on consoles im sure Minecraft Story Mode will have too…
i still dont buy chopped up episode story game. im not paying $30 for 5hrs-6hrs of game play.its a rip off. as much as people say how bad dlc is this is worse then dlc. 3 episodes of story games is a new AAA title..
Episode games are bs
at lease some one agrees.they arnt going to rip me off like they will every one else.
You didnt say “I” you said “console gamers”.
Just admit when you are wrong instead of moving the goal posts, or better yet dont post your lies in the first place.
That moment then hitman absolution looks better lol the world is downgrading fast
Those recommended specs don’t even make any sense. A GTX 770 and an R9 290 aren’t even on the same level. I see this often with system requirements from developers, and it’s like they have no idea what they’re talking about.
typo imo im sure is a 970.
I know right! I am not sure if developers understand how AMD GPU naming system works.
*random and unrelated rambling comment about the f’cking episodic bs*
Just worried about the pc port…
If you don’t mind me asking you guys, what do you think are my chances of running the game decently?
Intel Core i7-4700HQ 2.4GHz (Turbo 3.4GHz) Haswell
24 GB DDR3; HD Version
128GB SSD * 2 + 1TB 5400 RPM HDD
Nvidia GTX780M 4GB GDDR5
GPU matches minimum, but cpu doesn’t. And I feel like this game will definitely be a cpu hog.
lots of NPCs on the screen, so CPU matter in these types of games, on the other hand AI is as stupid as rock. if you can run AC unity i guess your good to go unless hitman is going to be worst in optimization which is possible.
Yes that why we will wait till the complete version is out and then buy it.
that can be a long wait.who knows how many episodes there will be
