Stranglehold: 360 Version region free and System requirements for PC

Darji · (08-07-2007, 10:14 PM)

First of all teh 360 will be regionfree too but now these are the System requirements for Stranglehold on PC.

Windows XP SP2 / VISTA (Games for Windows compliant)
Dual Core Processor
2 Gigs of Ram
Nvidia 7800 or higher / ATI x1300 or higher
Disk space: 15 gigs

are these ones minimum? If so then Holy Shit

15gigs, woo.

Opus Angelorum · (08-07-2007, 10:18 PM)

15 Gigs? What on earth?

This game will suck

No reloading must take up a lot of space.

These aren't even in the same class/league! Typo?

Nvidia 7200 or higher? Or is the game just more optimized for ATI hardware that miracles can be performed on a low end card?

Installing Stranglehold will likely take longer than beating the actual game

15gb on PC?

How does that work when the game needs to fit within 7gb for the 360?

Well, hopefully we can find out tomorrow if so.

What's with these PC games that require 2 GB minimum but run on the 360's 512 MB just fine? There's not that drastic a difference.

Alot of PC games will use uncompressed textures on a full HDD install, along with installing all the audio, etc and unpacking other compressed files for quicker loading. Still I find it hard to believe it will take up a full 15gb....thats just huge, and the game doesn't even have multiplayer, right?

Xdrive05 · (08-07-2007, 10:21 PM)

TWO DVD9s CONFIRMED! :o

I'm ready for it.

Has it been confirmed to be only one dvd for the Xbox 360?

Xdrive05 · (08-07-2007, 10:22 PM)

Aren't we supposed to be getting a demo any day now? (PC and 360 folk)

It does have multiplayer. I do believe load times will be virtually non-existent with the PC.

syllogism · (08-07-2007, 10:24 PM)

Alternatively it might use that 15gb just for decompressing files during installation

It sounds very likely that the demo will show up on Xbox Live this Wednesday, August 8th. We're still cranking on the PS3 and PC demos. I'll post something as soon as the demo is up!

Thanks. Hopefully they release the PC demo at the same time. I'll dl both and do a comparison on here if anyone cares.

fistfulofmetal · (08-07-2007, 10:28 PM)

I don't have 15 gigs of free space on my PC

pswii60 · (08-07-2007, 10:29 PM)

Tomorrow night, when I get back from the gym, it's STRANGLEHOLD DEMO NIGHT. I get the lounge to myself, the gf is out.

It better be anyway. Don't f*** up the certification!!

I do. Please compare at 1280 x 720 and your max capable resolution.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Oh well. Gives me time to get my 8800 in the mail.

Stitch · (08-07-2007, 10:39 PM)

Midway said early August for 360 and PC, Aug 20th would be a bit to late for that...

sedaku · (08-07-2007, 10:40 PM)

Man I haven't have the feeling of "don't care what the requirement are, I will run it smoothly any way" for a long time.

New PC ftw.

That's what I read too. Maybe the IGN news is bogus?

OokieSpookie · (08-07-2007, 10:40 PM)

Just for the record, everyone does know by now that the PS3 version is region free also right?

yes it is.

Oh and on the forums they said that the PC demo will be released near releasedate So it makes sense

Quazar · (08-07-2007, 10:44 PM)

Nice Eternal Sonata demo and now a Stranglehold demo? Damn these past couple months have been awesome.

soco · (08-07-2007, 10:44 PM)

nvm. can't read.

But I don't have dual cores. :(

Xdrive05 · (08-07-2007, 10:48 PM)

Hmmm... THIS SITE says August 8th for the PC demo too...

TemplaerDude · (08-07-2007, 10:49 PM)

thank god this game doesn't even vaguely interest me.

JdFoX187 · (08-07-2007, 10:49 PM)

I'll be more surprised if the demo actually hits tomorrow. Still, I really want this game, but the demo will either make or break it.

uprightcitizen · (08-07-2007, 10:55 PM)

I am still torn between the 360 or PS3 version the only thing swaying me on ps3 is the fact that I'll get hardboiled if I buy the collectors addition.

M3wThr33 · (08-07-2007, 10:56 PM)

Two of my 5 drives have enough room for this game.

Fantastic! I'm so riled up right now. You wouldn't believe it!

OT: Does anyone remember if this is an UE3 game? Seems like I read that a while back...
