Specs?

[SinaiBeach]

What kind of specs will i need for this game? Powerful computer to play the game?

[Zinfidel]

Judging by the screenshots of this game and the fact that it will be running on the very new Unreal 3 engine, yes, you will need a powerful machine to run it.

Having said that, the Unreal engines have had a history of being very backwards-compatible, so if you have a system antiquated by only one or two years, you should still be fine.

I wish they would have the specs somewhere.... I mean they have alot of info on the game but think of all the pc ppl out there im sure thats the first thing u would want to know about the game. Im not worried being that I have a beast but theres alot of ppl out there that dont share my specs.

[ninevalleys]

im not 100% sure but im hopeing my system wil run it.

Intel core 2 duo E6400
Nvidia Geforce 7950GT
2 Gig DDR2 ram
(gotta check what motherbaord)
400G Seagate 16Mb cache 7200rpm

actually im pretty damn sure it will run it

NV

If that dosen't run it then it won't sell at all

That is why I am soo glad I have a 360, it is wayyy cheaper. The specs are definatly going to be pretty high, so for those of you that have specs only good enough for WoW should consider an upgrade before purchasing this game.

[connnnn]

By the time this game comes out you'll be able to upgrade for it for less than it had cost to get a X360 system together. Especially when you consider that you can tweak the graphics on PC. People usually overshoot PC upgrades so that they wont have to worry about them for awhile in the future, but that's the choice of the individual, and that's what PC hardware companies count on for higher profits (since there's always a premium for newer stuff). I'll be building a system next spring basically to run the U3 engine as cheaply and efficiently as possible; I have plenty of money saved up but it'll be interesting to see how low I can keep the cost. Since Huxley won't even be out for quite some time beyond that, I would think it would be even cheaper if I were waiting for just this game.

The first unreal 3 engine PC game has been released recently. Roboblitz (previously shown as the Intel-only Robohorde tech demo) has a demo you can download off of Steam currently. I haven't found it anywhere else for DL yet. It's mostly a physics based game so it's not a great benchmark to compare to other future U3 games, but it'll at least let people get a feel for how their current hardware handles the engine in general.

you can always buid your own system and that still way cheaper then a fully loaded 360

i got a pdual3.1, 2gig ram, 6600gt256mb > $370 + HD's with is in my case 700gigs $200 (250gig is about $65)

and this system run ALL games (except GRAW) on max

check always pricewach and computershows for deals

where an xbox360 with 20gig HD is about ~$400

yeah i think it will :D

anyone with pci-e ought to be ok

mouse vs controller :/ mouse will always win
but im sure the specs will be something like cs:s (but more proccessing power)

[SolidTheSnake]

Man, everyone hates the console guys :(.

[RichardSwe]

My comp is pretty old so when it is released I will have a new computer for sure. I just hope that to prevent mass fps drops you will be able to turn down graphics alot to get a more "fps" feeling. Or maybe even different settings for if you are out fighting or in town.

[Fauqs]

Yes, I know, this is an older thread, but I think I got a rough guess at what you'll need to run Huxley.

Since it runs on Unreal 3 engine, and Roboblitz is created with the Unreal 3 engine, just go to their website and check the min/recommended requirements (or you could download the demo and see for yourself).

Also, check out the requirements for Rainbow Six: Vegas, cause it's also on the Unreal 3 engine.

[Dathomsta]

can people stop bagging us console people. we get it at the highest spec
and your still worrying about system requirements

[connnnn]

Consoles aren't physically capable of reaching the highest specs that PC's can.

I don't go for fanboyism in either direction, because there's advantages and disadvantages to playing games on console and pc, but that's one area where consoles can't compete. Textures will be lower res, overall picture will be lower res. Consoles have hardware limitations that PC's will eventually surpass even with regards to performance/dollar... that's just how it is.

The advantage that consoles have is that games are specifically optimized to run at playable framerates on those machines. This means you know you will always be able to play a game released for it, with the tradeoff that you can't generally tweak the settings to your preference in order to decide what YOU consider "playable" framerate. It also often means that graphics must be toned down for console versions (Epic has already spoken of having to redesign UT3 maps from PC -> Xbox360 since the system memory available is lower, so the textures must be smaller).

Also consider that you can't always assume that everyone has to upgrade for a new game, because many PC owners will already have hardware capable of playing Huxley. So it's really not costing those guys anything more than the purchase price (and subscription, etc) of the game.

just remembe rthe computer version will be ALOT better and have wayy more upgrades weapons etc... also the xbox version wont even be a fraction of what the computer is

Why would the PC verision have more weapons and upgrades than the Xbox ver? Highly doubtable.
The thing that differs is the grapichs and gameplay.

[Decent_xVICIOUSx]

think about WoW hpw many weapons it had and xbox live ive personalyy had xbl and its a pain evrey update and its pc so think be4 u speak man pc way more everything maps weapons etc.. xbox not as much

its hard not to...the Unreal 3 engine is a very high end and brand new engine and as such probably resource hungry at full whack. im thinking itd be rather hard for a 1 1/2 year old console to be able to play it without having the gfx/physics and general performance of the engine toned down a lot. Also remember you are bound by the storage capacities of a dvd currently (maybe you can move to hddvd at some point but for now you are restricted to 9gig of data...whilst thats a lot of data, it could again restrict the textures, a modern pc is not limited by such factors as often any reasonable performance machine will likely be knocking on 1/2TB of storage capacity these days

itll still play as it will be optimised to do so...but imo itll just be lacking that something...Anti Alliasing for instance



As for specs, id imagine C2Ds, 2gb+ RAM, cards beyond the 8800 and R600 to play at high specs

id assume any dual core cpu, 2gb ram, x1900/ nv7900 to run at avg settings for something on the unreal 3 engine

(basically dx9 cards for OK settings, dx10 cards for the higher ones, this however is all speculation and cant be judged until a full unreal 3 engined game comes out)
