I donno about you but I thought Black Ops 2 was a fairly good looking game.

Yeah, it's okay. Can look pretty good at higher resolutions. Would you put it in your top ten?

I wouldn't.

 

[fluffydelusions]

If that is the case, its crazy how fast they peter off then. I guess Call of Duty was never known for its depth.

Yeah, they always start out strong then dwindle down over the months. IW versions usually hold up better though in terms of overall players.

 

[TAJ]

My understanding is that the differences are minimal at the most.

A two-thirds increase is minimal? You must be an Xbox fan.

 

[Grief.exe]

Every gen PC gamers need roughly 4-5 times the RAM available in current gen consoles just to run games at max settings. So considering that both xbone and ps4 have 8gigs ram, expect PC versions to require around 32 gigs ram.

 

[brandonh83]

Please do this Dennis. Please.

I second this. Would be amazing.

 

[fluffydelusions]

So is my 280x enough to play this thing decently or what.

 

[Kinky John]

Well this games online population is going to be dead on PC then.

I can't wait to see the concurrent numbers on PC tomorrow.

I think it'll make a fair old dent. Steamgraph shows that Black Ops 2 hit 64k last year (I think the spikes are from the free weekends).

 

[Jedipottsy]

Lol you brought a 280x? Seriously?

 

[jim2point0]

Yes sure, but just to make clear......I intend it to be a thread for serious comparison meaning people should post good screenshots and not just shitty ones of one of the games to further their agenda.

I'd love to join in but... gah. I have no reasonable excuse to get Ghosts.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Lol you brought a 280x? Seriously?

Yeah why not? At the time of purchase it was the same price as a 7970 on newegg

 

[tarheel91]

It's talking about system RAM, not VRAM. Your 280x will murder it.

 

[d00d3n]

[wrong thread]

 

[fluffydelusions]

It's talking about system RAM, not VRAM. Your 280x will murder it.

Yeah I know but I just remember the rumors of recommended card being the 780 and someone else earlier who was playing said they were getting bad performance though unsure of what card they had.

 

[Enosh]

well was planning on buying this, well maybe, good thing I saw the thread first...
got 4gigs of ram only -.-

 

[Deadbeat]

Dont worry, pirates figured out how to bypass the fake hardware requirements. Theres also a FOV tool as well for multiplayer now.

 

[Jedipottsy]

Its a rebrand. Seems a little odd to buy a rebrand now. New architecture from Nvidia is just around the corner. Its not like any games atm require that

 

[-PXG-]

FoV is locked at 65, too. No FoV option.

IW doesn't know how to develop on PC.

Pfffffffft

There is a config,right? Right?!?

 

[hesido]

Activision doesn't give these guys a break to re-work their engine. I think Call of Duty series has earned enough money to assign one team to make a great next gen engine, I understand how they need to be on current gen consoles too now. But by the next Call of Duty, they probably won't have to, in a couple of years, and those couple of years could be well spent coming up with a great engine, only if Activision allows one of their teams.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Well I needed a PC now. I sold my laptop. Can't wait till maxwell

 

[davonaytor]

So is it safe to assume that Watch Dogs' system requirements were also bullshit?

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

I think it'll make a fair old dent. Steamgraph shows that Black Ops 2 hit 64k last year (I think the spikes are from the free weekends).

But this 6GB cock block is going to completely prevent people from even booting it up.

 

[Liha]

Call of Duty: The dog adventure...

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

Does the dog get shot in the head, in slo-mo, then someone shouts "SNIPER !" ?

 

[Woorloog]

So is it safe to assume that Watch Dogs' system requirements were also bullshit?

Not necessarily.
EDIT different developer and publisher, different engine, different game and all that...

 

[Tugatrix]

That dog AI, the indecision about the place to pee

 

[Sethos]

We check everything GAF.

Everything.

 

[TheSeks]

I'm sure someone (Durante? Haha, no) will mod it like someone "modded" the Direct X functions in Crysis to run on Windows XP back in the day, surely?

 

[Oersted]

Ha!

Ha!

Haha!

Spoiler

Lazy? Lazy.

You seem to know things we don't. There is no sign of Maxwell, unless "around the corner" means in about a year.

Next-gen tail

 

[Jedipottsy]

No, its not a couple of months away. But next gen just came out, first 6 months are going to be last-gen games with a few additions, ie higher res textures etc. After that 'new' gen games and engines will arrive. Games then will require more GPU power, and i bet thats also when maxwell will arrive.

 

[MrSilentGuy]

We check everything GAF.

So this is a reason for 6 GB RAM requirement

 

[Projectjustice]

Look at that tail. lol

 

[Kinky John]

That's what I was saying (I should have been clearer!). This issue will put a dent in the number of players - we should start a sweepstake!

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

zero interest in shooters but love tech talk. i gotta say, i thought people were just being hyperbolic when saying ghosts looks terrible, but fuck, this game looks like absolute garbage

honestly looks like a 360 game in higher res, maybe a bit more aa and thats it. amazing devs.

 

[Gothos]

Oh boy, I got a feeling this is just the beginning. Next couple of months gonna be so entertaining. Also, I'm so glad I don't give a frack about all those big franchises

 

[fluffydelusions]

But this 6GB cock block is going to completely prevent people from even booting it up.

I wonder if it's just a ways of getting people to buy next gen systems? Current gen consoles only have 6v6 MP for this game.

 

[Grief.exe]

How many players for the PC version?

 

[Nibel]

All we can hope is that TreyArch is working on some bigger update than that

Look at Battlefield 4 or Killzone - Call Of Duty 2014 will look like a pile of shit when it releases in the fall with the same engine

 

[Grief.exe]

To be fair, I've thought Call of Duty looked like a pile of shit for along time. Console gamers are just now going to catch on.

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

I wonder if it's just a ways of getting people to buy next gen systems? Current gen consoles only have 6v6 MP for this game.

I did think for a moment that it may actually be the publishers pushing PC gamer's to upgrade the amount of RAM they have, so more PC gamer's will be capable of playing future releases.

Too conspiracy sounding however

 

[fluffydelusions]

How many players for the PC version?

Same as always. It's only 360/PS3 that are gimped

Getting us ready for Destiny.

I've never played Call of Duty, you might have to go a little more in-depth with me.

 

[Asd202]

Ghost RAM

I said God damn

 

[NinjaFridge]

I think it's fair to say every version is gimped in some respect.

 

[Vermaas]

And It's only the beggining:

Game also does not run when wrong processor is being detected. Oh my fucking god. Confirm this please!

Oh I guess IW will also prevent me from starting ghosts when my keyboard and mouse doesn't meet the requirements >.>

 

[GravityMan]

This entire project just screams "massive rush job" to me. PC version and console versions. One of the reasons why I'm not a fan of yearly iterations of games.

And lol at "Ghost RAM".

 

[Cyborgmatt]

The main menu is unusable for me, it has huge freezing spikes. Any one experiencing this as well?

Edit: Going offline on Steam fixes it. :/

They really put a lot of effort on the dog.
