Dark Souls 3 PC requirements are out

50GB? Quite a lot.

50GB!? The hell? I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

50gb pretty big,this thing better run at 60fps like its predecessor or I'll Melt faces

50GB, geez.

50 gigs? Fuck. And there probably won't be a physical PC version either. At least not for North America.

Where have all of you been in the past ~3 years? 50+ GB games are par for the course in modern AAA gaming.
 
Nevermind, Bloodborne is 25.3GB but it also has several patches that inflate that. The day one patch was like 3gb too IIRC.

Old Hunters was 9 GB. How big were the Crown trilogy?

This filesize means assets are not compressed, or they went crazy on game volume.
 
sort of surprised it isn't a bit more demanding. but then again the game looks about on par with SotFS

fine with me though. i'm still in awe of how DS1 looks in 4k at times
 
Or it is the same hardware but with different target framerates (30 this time instead of 60).

This is what I think, but I never really trust recommended specs and whatnot since they never really specify what is targeted at those specs. They are good for a (rather vague) reference at least.
 
I have a 650 and cant even run ds1 at 30 fps sometimes.

refuse to believe that a slight upgrade will let me play this at 60fps lol

Well, I think the difference between a 650 and 750 is actually fairly significant.
However, it sounds like you might have had a CPU issue instead with Dark Souls? If 3's engine is built like 2, it's a lot less reliant on CPU and more on GPU.
 
At what resolution could you not hit 30fps?

Game seemed to hit 30 just fine but would drop to like 15 during bossfights. Tried to uncap the frame rate and it never went over 42 at 1080


Can somebody tell me if my comp is just ass lol

amd a8-6500
gtx 650


cant even stay at 60 in skyrim lol.

Guessing the cpu is trash and gpu outdated as hell?

I'm assuming you mean blightown? I had a 6950 and if you got the angle just right at the beginning, you could tank the frames down to a hard limit of 15fps. That card is still pretty decent, so I think DS just had issues in spots.
 
Disappointingly low recommended specs. I hope it hasn't been downgraded and it's just amazingly optimized
lolz

The screen grabs look amazing though and SOTFS runs great on my rig even if it's not the prettiest game out there. DS1 took a lot of work to look good and I have a decent rig
 
What, my laptop could run this game?
That's very nice to hear.
Although I'll probably get this on PS4 I can see myself double dip out of curiosity alone when this game's on sale on Steam.

People disappointed for lower entree requirements...wtf?

And to begin with, these are not technically 'low', a 7850 and an i3 and 8GB is basically a PS4 add or subtract some overhead.

You'd think they had 360 level requirements for some of these posts
