[Geo-Gamer]

[LeJosh]

Frostbite 2.0 indeed.

Completely new engine.

bit worried if its going to push system requirments much further than they currently are? what are the requirments looking like? hopefully still recommending quad?

 

[topgun06]

I'm not sure it's going to be too demanding... in that you wont be needing to spend £2000 on graphics cards.

Aren't the vids we've been seeing being run on 580GTXs or something? Which by the time the game comes will be cheaper anyway? Or something something something...

i was doing research on the requirments and apparntly its not changing much from the current frostbite engine...hence its still gna be needing quad core same amount of ram and graphics card output, because apparntly the engine is going to be new but not dramatically imrpoved in graphics wise but only slightly....Thank god for that.

For the minimum experience, these are our estimations:

Windows Vista 32-bit
512mb video card (DirectX 10)
2GB RAM
Dual-core processor 2.0ghz


For the maximum:

Windows 7 64-bit
GTX 580, 5970 (DirectX 11)
4-8GB DDR3 RAM
Quad or hexacore processor

 

[Geo-Gamer]

i doubt hex core processor will kick in but who knows

 

[Caffrey]

It's "Frostbite 2", not "Frostbite 2.0" btw

Ok carry on!

I sort of want a multiplayer video but don't as it might ruin it, I want to see what its like on release day.

Will still have people camping on the runway for jets, and punishing you for running them over on takeoff.

Don't worry

 

[RedStarRiot]

Id say those look abit high for the max to be honest, Im sure a quad,4gb,5850/460+ will max this at above 30fps

I doubt it, but it's always worth a shot.
