How is that high?

smogsy · 26 Jul 2012 at 22:12

only high thing is qaudcore but thats recommended anyway.

Dualcore is fading fast.
2GB (not many have lower)
260gtx is very old now.

FrenchTart · 26 Jul 2012 at 22:12

That's not really that high for a modern pc....

opethdisciple · 26 Jul 2012 at 22:19

I found the cpu requirements high.

ArnieRambo · 26 Jul 2012 at 22:41

its hardly high when Quadcore is the norm now

Cutshaw · 26 Jul 2012 at 22:53

It's maybe a bit more honest. Dead Rising 2 came out for PC about 2 years ago and was awful on a C2D. No amount of overclocking made a difference, it wasn't till I went quad that I could play it with respectable FPS. It's requirements listed a dual core and it was a cross platform release.

Quad cores are more than half a decade old.

Witcher1979 · 26 Jul 2012 at 23:49

£50 Q6600 will do then

Not really a big deal either, there's been quite a few games now needing copious amounts of storage space. Hopefully there's a genuine reason for it not like some Star Wars games....

Doesn't look high to me for "Recommended" specs at all - if anything I'd say 2GB RAM is low.

Min spec as follows:
Operating System: Windows XP or Windows Vista SP1 or Windows 7
Processor: 2.0 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor or the equivalent from AMD
RAM: 2 GB
Hard Drive: 20 GB of space free with 10 GB free after install
Video Card: NVIDIA 9800 GT 512 MB or the equivalent from AMD

So WinXP, 2ghz C2D, 9800GT - pretty basic stuff.

WingZero30 · 27 Jul 2012 at 03:51

Probably due to game being optimised for quad core so it will run better on quad cores cpu.

Just like Bad company 2 I guess.

That is a lot of HDD space, with most games going digital download now (GW2, etc) I hope my internet speeds up soon :O

Might have to grab a disc copy with that install size (would take about five hours on my connection). Good thing the game is Steamworks.

Since when have 'recommended specs' been accurate..

I never believe them, to me,

'minimum specs' = LOL, don't even bother wasting your money.

'recommended specs' = average IQ & inconsistent frame rate, 360/PS3 mode.

'ultra high' = It'll finally look like all those fancy trailers we hyped the game with.

Indeed.

Will be awful.

little off topic but...

Darksiders 2 - £19.99 on greenmangaming

trickycurve · 27 Jul 2012 at 20:43

I pre-ordered from Game earlier because of their exclusive pre-order bonus, but I'll probably cancel and go for that Green Man Gaming deal seeing as a small piece of DLC isn't worth an extra £10.

Also, I didn't realise GMG shipped retail copies?
