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

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

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

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

      1. 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

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

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

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

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

  6. 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.

    1. 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.

  7. 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?

    1. 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?

      1. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
