We can't laugh at you if you don't post your specs.

What are your specs?
According to what they're saying, probably not. I can play both of these in 1080p at 60fps but if the 4GB requirement is true... It won't run well.
Asus Core i5-3470/3.2GHz, 10GB RAM, NVIDIA GT620/2GB, Windows 8.

In one week, we'll see people overreacting being wrong... again... until the next recommendation settings.
How did you get to 10 GB Ram?

Bought a desktop PC and those were the specs, I didn't fiddle with it personally.
If you actually bought it that way I wonder if they just stuck a 2GB stick in there to justify w/e the price was.

You need a better graphics card, the 620 is probably not gonna cut it.
Official post from the TEW thread a little while ago:
Yeah that's the result of switching to a good framerate, especially after getting used to a game at 30fps. I can live with that but somehow I doubt that will be the only issue.
Can't believe I won't even be able to play at 1080 with a fucking 780ti.

If anyone is curious, I believe this is the only video of the PC version, was recorded before the game went gold so not the final version of the game, but definitely be the PC version, the IQ is too clear and the lighting/shading look a lot better in it than most console gameplay. Also 1440p, and the player is a PC-exclusive gamer.

Your GPU won't make it if the GTX 460 as minimum is to be believed. The rest seems fine if you're willing to upgrade to a better GPU.
If you can't I would seriously recommend grabbing the PS4 version in case you have one.
Yeah, I will probably just get it for PS4 when I buy the console next year.

How are you concluding that it's made for current gen consoles?
The requirements seem to be based around megatextures.

Maybe using the texture compression option will allow you to enjoy 1080p easily.
That video sold me initially on the port. It looks markedly better than any console footage we have seen thus far.
Right, so hardcoded to 30fps, but you can remove them through the debug? Hopefully that works without problems then. I really have a hard time believing those black bars were due to "artistic vision". That, combined with how closely zoomed in the camera was and the framerate, made this a nightmare to control on the XB1 version.
I'm starting to regret investing in 2gb 680 SLI. I did this about 2 years ago. I guess I can't complain, as I got a lot out of of them. But I really wish I would have gotten 4gb models. Just because I game at 1600p, and a lot of these newer titles seem to start pushing past 2gb. (Not saying this one specifically will, but just kind of saying in general it's starting to worry me lately).

The rest of your PC is pretty nice, if you want to play new games in the here and now you would get great performance with a relatively cheap graphics card. Ask in the I Need A PC thread, they'll point you in the right direction.

I could POSSIBLY deal with the 30FPS dogshit if there were a couple of reviews praising this game and suck its dick to no end.
I'd like to know if it's a great game before I go through with canceling my preorder, but reviews are just opinions. I had my reservations about this game and went through with the preorder.

I'm not concluding that it's made for current gen consoles, I'm saying if it was, you wouldn't have a problem with the requirements on PC.

That's a lot of processing power you have there. You might have to drop texture settings a notch depending on the game but if you don't mind that then you'll get plenty more mileage out of them.

In the end I expect the game to be quite good, based Mikami.

I hate to say it, but I'm gonna wait. I want to play this at 60 fps. If they say we can do it "unofficially", but can't be bothered to do it themselves, I'll wait. This will be a Steam sale for me. It's a shame, as Bethesda has handled this so poorly. Maybe Mikami and friends will learn their lesson and not skimp out on basic features of PC games. I was gonna get this on PS4, but I heard about the 30fps lock.
Don't get me wrong, some of my favorite games are 30fps. But, I believe we are at a place where 60fps should be the norm. I'll enjoy this game on a sale of $25 or so. But I won't pay $50 for what seems like a port that was just kinda worked on. I"ll wait.

But you said if it was made for last gen consoles you wouldn't have a problem.
This is the point really. Normally I wouldn't bother with a ropey looking port....but it's Mikami. Almost everything he's ever done has been fantastic.
Yeah, I really shouldn't worry too much. I mean, I will still get more out of these then the console versions (unless it's a really shitty port). So even if I can't max out all the settings like I used to, these are still a great set up. I just remember always being happy when I could max out every single setting on my PC versions. Now I'll have to deal with lowering settings.
I'll eventually upgrade my cards though. I'm saving up to SLI the 970s. When I do, I'll probably give the 680s away for free to someone on GAF. I know I could re-sell them, but I would rather just give them to someone who will use them.Well. I'm gonna get it, but damn. Having to use a console command to remove black bars and enable 60fps... it's like we're in 2006 all over again.

Look at that. The game was made for 30FPS in mind and people were still freaking the hell out about it. At least the option for 60FPS is available. Won't be surprised if it's not worth it though considering other games in the same case.

We have user impressions from someone who got a PS3 copy early. Even says it surpasses RE4 (yeah, I know how that sounds).
Sounds pretty encouraging. Read here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=133468031&postcount=1017

Bullshit like locked framerates immediately relegate a game to < $10 sale status for me.

It's still a load of bullshit. They can fuck off. I'll rent it on PS4 instead of giving them full price on PC.
So they pretty much confirmed that the consoles were the leading platforms and this is a direct console port. That explains the high need for VRAM since PC version is "functionally identical." I don't know how I feel about this, I think developers should target PC hardware first, then console hardware.

I'm guessing all these high VRAM games aren't neccessarilly using the extra GB's for strictly improving the graphics, and that its more likely the devs are reworking all their game engines changing how the normal methods used to work, to something that works well with the current consoles architectures (for learning/future proofing).
And when it comes to porting these engines to PC, it doesn't work as well, so we have to go a bit overboard on things to cover our arses.

Really my only reservations are with Bethesda's crap handling of all PC info. Only Mikami game I didn't enjoy was P.N.03.

As long as 60fps doesn't mess up animations or speed up enemies, that's the way I'll play it.

I don't get this mentality at all. If a dev thinks the game is best experienced at 30fps, why is that a bad thing?
more fps doesn't always = more better.
Bla, I mispoke in my first reply. I meant to put last gen where current gen was. And I think I mistook you saying Current gen as meaning least gen as well. Damn transition period. I'm assuming it was made for current gen, because have you seen a last gen console port that recommends 4 gb of VRAM?

unless you are trying to emulate an old game to perfection, I disagree.
The dev has it at 30 fps because of performance, not for that "cinematic feel."
They need to stop tying everything to 30 fps if they are going to port it to pc.

I feel what you're saying but maybe some of us don't like anyone else(developer or otherwise)telling us how to best experience a game we purchased with our own money.
