Support NeoGAF

[nekkid]

EIGHTY GIGS!?

I think you're going to see this more and more as developers look to actively support 4K and textures need to be less compressed.

 

[roytheone]

Below the cpu minimum requirements, but that has never really been an issue before, so I doubt it will be here.

 

[Daemul]

When your ideal specs greatly exceed the specs of the console you made your game for...

Why would they set the ideal PC specs at the level of the XBO? Is the XBO as powerful as a high level PC?

 

[ebullientprism]

Those look pretty reasonable. Sounds like it might actually be a pretty solid port. Shame its gonna die on the Windows storefront.

80 GB doesnt bother me. I dont have an SSD so its a non issue.

 

[mullet2000]

I really hope the competitive community isn't DOA on PC. Gears Ultimate lasted like a week or two, and even then you could pretty much only find people in TDM.

 

[SmartWaffles]

You can already do that on Xbox

This is the point of united pc and Xbox...otherwise what was the point

That involves additional investment of hardware, this is a matter of software workaround.

 

[Coolade]

Any mention of 21:9 compatibility?

I got you my man,
Source: Tech Interview: Gears of War 4

• Dynamic resolution support (any resolution will be supported with a sensible dynamic field of view - including ultra-wide).

 

[perfectsil]

Nvm

 

[Lkr]

Will wait to see benchmarks before I buy. I get both the Xbox and PC versions for this one right?
Running a 3570k and a gtx 970 but only 8 gigs of ram. I will probably be able to easily run this at 1080p on a high level of detail

 

[Bolivar687]

I like how Microsoft has been posting three tiers of requirements.

Do we know if this has cross multiplayer with the Xbox? That's the one thing that worries me about the PC version is that there will be no one to do Horde mode with

I'll do Horde mode with you.

 

[FaintDeftone]

Hopefully my 970 will do the trick. I wonder where the 1070 falls on that chart. I was looking into upgrading to the 1070 soon.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

My 290x will hopefully last me until the next round of GPUs, looking at this.

Is it known if split screen is in the PC version too?

 

[Memorabilia]

Game runs just fine on Xbone: 7690 GPU + Jaguar CPU...but you need a supercomputer to hit "ideal" specs on PC. MMMMM-KAY. Specs lists like this are about as useful as a square wheel.

Game will probably run at minimum settings on the XB1. "Ideal" is probably somewhere near max/60fps/4k.

Just fine =/= ideal specs.

 

[Black_Stride]

Horde only? No way, that sucks.

Co-op modes will have cross play.
Competitive nahhh....M-KB vs Controller would be unfair.

What's with the hilarious overeaction??

Surely it's not a reaction to space needed.

.5mb connection or something?

Slows speed, Low data caps.
Im in south central africa for atleast a year...if i was elsewhere it wouldnt be as much of a problem.

It took me awhile, but I'm guessing XPA stands for "Xbox Play Anywhere" and not the protein that is found in DNA

Hahaha I skimmed over his post thinking about what the heck XPA could be.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

The 750ti isn't a dx12 card is it?

Anyway, surprisingly reasonable specs.

 

[Sizzel]

Odds this will make it to steam in a reasonable time or ever are hopefully Non-zero.

 

[bloodyroarxx]

Looking at this chart.

Im just DONE with PC specs what the fuck do those categories even mean for settings.

Like framerate and resolution should be there at the very minimum

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Why would anyone expect MS first party to hit steam?

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

The 750ti isn't a dx12 card is it?

Anyway, surprisingly reasonable specs.

It supports DX12, yes. But not the full spec.

 

[Diablohead]

No. It's horde, campaign, and some other mode that are available for crossplay. Competitive multiplayer isn't cross platform for obvious reasons.

It should have been an optional filter like rocket league, I don't want to see a dead MP on pc after a month.

 

[LowParry]

Hmmm. I may end up getting that 1070 card earlier than I thought. This and BF1 will be glorious.

 

[Akoi]

EIGHTY GIGS!?

yeah I'm with you on this... what the crap?

 

[Diancecht]

I ok for the ideal specs but I hope this won't be another Quantum Break in terms of performance.

 

[SliChillax]

4k gameplay looks awesome

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Ideal specs here I come!

 

[Nzyme32]

When your ideal specs greatly exceed the specs of the console you made your game for...

Fairly sure they have the Scorpio thing in mind with the PC side of things. When that comes out, they are likely to be using the same kind of setup for 4K 30fps. Obviously Xbox One is at the lower end of that spectrum.

 

[CyberPunked]

This game looks like it has absolutely no ambient occlusion. If it does, it's the most subtle implementation I've ever seen.

Dat 4k textures...

You mean pre-rendered cutscenes.

 

[tiredheadcrab]

Probably needs the anniversary update so it can support the play anywhere initiative.

I meet the recommended specs so my pc and Xbox one should be okay.

 

[Nzyme32]

This game looks like it has absolutely no ambient occlusion.

Ha, beat me to it. Also the gameplay is.. well gears of war, as expected. Too tiresome for me, but no doubt still a joy for the fans

 

[MillionStabs]

Talk a long walk off a short pier with your 80GB on a digital only game.

 

[OnionPowder]

Wait till these people see the final size of Star Citizen lol. I'm expecting at least 100 GB.

80 GB isn't at all surprising to me.

 

[Sydle]

Hmm, I'm running a 1070 and i7-3770 so I think I"m good for the recommended specs. Starting to wonder if I should upgrade my CPU.

That looks great!

 

[Danthrax]

I didn't realize nVidia was making i5s now

Spoiler

I know Nirolak already made a joke, I don't care

kinda what I was thinking. SC isn't up to 80 GB yet, though. This will take an eternity on my 15 Mb connection.

 

[blastprocessor]

Tell me this is coming on disc 80gb download no way

 

[Gemüsepizza]

Ouch. Those graphics don't look that good. Not sure if 4K can save this.

This game looks like it has absolutely no ambient occlusion. If it does, it's the most subtle implementation I've ever seen.

This. Makes it look like a Xbox 360 game in that regard.

Edit: To be fair this video also seems to be compressed to hell.

Hmmm, looks OK nothing special.

 

[RedSwirl]

Crossplay only for Horde.

Aww sheeit.

Wish I could just install horde by itself and not have to deal with the 80 gigs. My data cap can't take much more of this shit.

 

[Mufausa The 3rd]

Does the game run at 60fps on XB1? PC specs are always aiming for 60fps, right?

I guess it's normal to have higher required specs for PC for that reason alone.

30FPS for campaign,

60FPS for multiplayer

 

[Dictator93]

edit: slightly wrong thread, but still relevant enough to specs I guess.
UE4 has had POM for a long time now (and a good implementation at that!), furthermore, games like gears 3 had POM on x360 even (and I am pretty sure even Gears 1 maybe?).

So not seeing it in an obvious use-case anno 2016 in a mature engine on a mammoth PC is a bit odd:

 

[PeskyToaster]

Are TPSs fun on m and kb? I dunno, the game just seems built for a controller.

That looks really bad, wow.

I don't see any anisotropic filtering either.

 

[cyberheater]

Some 4k gameplay.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1264095

Looks stunning.

 

[Dictator93]

M + kb are terrible for games with aiming in general honestly. I have no idea how people play when you cannot simulate the tense war-horror rumble of the joypad, the fear-induced inability to aim, or even the relatively simple viscerally filmic camera pan when turning around.

 

[RedSwirl]

When developers put down specs, I think they should start suggesting what they consider "minimum" or "recommended" or "ideal" gameplay.

To the people freaking out about that, minimum is probably like 1080p/30fps at medium settings or something -- likely similar to console performance. Recommended is probably 1080p/60 at max or near max settings. Ideal is probably 4k at some playable framerate, likely between 30 and 50fps.

 

[Fordfx2]

80 GB!!!

 

[horkrux]

Edit: To be fair this video also seems to be compressed to hell.

Image was pretty clear when I set the video to 4K on my 1080p monitor, but it was just clearly unimpressive.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

My Alienware will juuuuuuuuuust sneak into recommended.

970M 3GB
i7
16GB RAM

 

[Skux]

When your ideal specs greatly exceed the specs of the console you made your game for...

And it'll probably still run like sludge.
