D3ads Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 I have a 3.2GHZ machine with a gig of RAM 12GB of HD space for the game is insane! Quote
st0lve Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 12gb? are you fucking kidding me. Quote
-HP- Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 12gb? are you fucking kidding me. you need 10gb for STALKER, and it's a 1^ year game Quote
e-freak Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 The HDD sounds reasonable but what the f*ck did you thought who could play this? Look at the orangebox which can be played at full details with your minimum requirements... Someone forgot to have a look at the targetgroup before making that specs? Quote
ChopperDave Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to pass on this game. As much as I want to play it, I've got no intention of upgrading my PC anytime soon. I already had to turn Bioshock down to medium just to get it to run at a decent FPS, so I know this thing'll barely run on low. Booo for retardedly high requirements. 12gb? are you fucking kidding me. Considering you can get a 320 GB HDD for $100 or less, it's not really that big of an issue. Quote
Furyo Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 I love how my 6 months old comp is just above the recommended specs... What is it, like 2% of your target that has that kinda machine? Quote
FrieChamp Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Posted October 10, 2007 GS: Crysis requires a minimum of 256MB of video card memory, which is pretty unprecedented for a PC game. Are you afraid that a lot of PC gamers won't have powerful-enough hardware to run the game? Is there no way around that? CY: The 256 MB 6800 was [available] in 2004 as the high-end card, so hence we picked this. Further compromises were possible but quality and frame rate would have suffered more. We are not afraid, since we know by statistics from our partners like Nvidia and Intel and from PC manufactures the base to play our game is theoretically bigger than the consoles, plus we hope Crysis inspires people to play at very high configurations that--like in the past with top-tier titles--usually required you to upgrade your PC. Rest of the interview with C. Yerli about the specs, here: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6180628.html Quote
dux Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 The HDD sounds reasonable but what the f*ck did you thought who could play this? Look at the orangebox which can be played at full details with your minimum requirements... Someone forgot to have a look at the targetgroup before making that specs? Truth. I won't be playing Crysis for a few years D: Quote
Sentura Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 wait, are you people serious? given, the requirement for the game is quite high, but as the guy in the interview said, there've been 256 mb cards since 2004. i myself dont know anyone that is a gamer that has less than a 256 mb gfx Quote
e-freak Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 I've got 256 MB but it is the minimum - sick if you ask me. That's one of the points I love Steam for: http://www.steampowered.com/status/survey.html This Data is collected by every Steam-User (volutneer) and is the data valve develops at. Not Intel or NVidia who cry out "Let's get more highend sellings". Crysis Minimum: Percentage of Steam Users who are just Minimum or even lower Processor - 2.8 GHz or faster (XP) :Around 70% of Steam Users can not play Crysis because of theyr CPUs on a higher setting than Low or not at all. Memory - 1.0 GB RAM (XP) : ~70% of Steam Users can not play Crysis because of too less Ram on a higher setting than Low or not at all. Video Card -256 MB** : ~30 % have less than 256 MB Vram, ~40% have at least 256 MB Vram (that allows them - I say it again: Minimum Specs) Hard Drive - 12GB : Around 80% of the Users have at least 10 or more Gigabyte free. - OK So Crytek basically shuts the door for around 70% of the gamers? Assuming that of those left 30% 75% are FPS Gamers who are potential Crysis buyers you have 22,5% of Gamers left as a Targetgroup. I don't know - Izuno may know better - but I assume that of a potential Targetgroup around 10% will buy a game if it sells good. That is 2,25% who would buy this game (but I assume this is still much too high) Quote
