That's surprisingly low for minimum system requirements

Bigger market, bigger sales.
Also, low-end PC gamers are actually the majority. See the most played PC games.

Wow, looks like I can still run it on my Phenom II x4 965BE and my Radeon HD 6870. Maybe I'll just buy the 7870 2GB equivalent now. I only play Civ on my PC.
Hopefully there is a demo so I can see how it runs.

anyone surprised by how low they are hasn't seen the screenshots.
while i doubt the game in its full complexity will be coming to phones and tablets, the backend has definitely been engineered with that in mind.
great for people who want a bit of civ on the go or are running on nan's netbook, not so great for anyone who doesn't want clash of clans tier visuals that look worse than the last civ release five years ago.

Have you seen how it looks like? they probably can make it run on newer ipads.
It's a turn-based game with a fairly large audience who aren't all "gamers", so it makes sense for them to target a very low minimum, which should be fine for anyone who doesn't mind waiting a while for AI turns to be calculated.
Civ5 has a touchscreen mode for Win8/10 which is supposed to work very well, so there shouldn't be anything to stop them releasing an iPad version of 6, particularly given the performance of the iPad Pro.
I usually come into these threads expecting to eye roll at people losing their minds over OMG I NEED AN i7 WTF?
Those are some very reasonable/realistic looking requirements for sure.
Civ is pretty much the only game my brother plays, he upgrades his computer whenever one comes out heh.

Probably? Definitely.

Nice reqs, targeting a wide demography.
Did they say anything at all about microtransactions? Hope they keep the classic expansions as DLC thing, followed by GOTY edition with everything.

Reasonable both in minimum and recommended specs. This is a game that also has to be playable on Laptops and older MacBook(Air)s.
It was ever thus

Yes! My 5750 can run this game!
I am running on bare-minimum steam here. 7 year old GPU and still kicking!

Mac and Linux are confirmed but there is not information for when that will happen. Windows is the only focus at the moment
They are not

The exact same? Just longer turn processing.

if things go the same as with Beyond Earth, Aspyr would be working on the Mac port/wrapper for the game and you'll see it in December.

I almost feel guilty buying VI because I think I'm only in the 100-200 hour range of V (my first Civ), but maybe it's time. Looks like my laptop can run it!
What's the news on MP? It was a mess in V, I would play with my brother in the same house and one of us would get kicked all the time, can't imagine trying to play a game with random people.

I hope this becomes a trend because the game looks fantastic.
Devs need to start optimising their games instead of going for the high end.

4GB minimum... I'm out of PC gaming by too much time... last time the minimum was 2GB...
And not for sure in a game like CIV...
8GB is the standard now (well, 16, but 8 min)
pretty done

I hope it doesn't become a trend of making an ugly game so more people can run it

Nice, I just installed an 8350 this week. I wonder how many times I'm going to play this and realize that it is 2 a.m. and that I have an essay due the next day?

so hyped for this. I started playing Civ 5 because of that GAF thread a few months back.

Any thing that would look good on a PS4 is fine with me.
While I wish the graphics were more detailed, it is totally a good move business-wise to keep the system requirements very low. Too many developers still don't seem to get this, even after Blizzard showed the way to some extent.
One of my favorite games is Civ IV in large part due to the wonderfully detailed art. I'd like there to be TONS of highly detailed animations in a new civ game, if they went all out for a high system req game it could look really spectacular.
