"Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo, AMD Athlon X2, or equivalent, running at 1.6 GHz or greater"

How come they can't say 2 X 1.6 GHz?

And would that just be a 1 X 3.2 GHz?


No love for single gamers

What did they do to it to require that?

 

[[GU]elmur_fud]

Right. Now I just need to find some suckeeehhnice person to pay me to make them a website so I can buy a new PC. ><

What did they do to it to require that?

download the latest udk and run the nightandday map

What did they do to it to require that?

At least they are seemingly more honest about the requirements than most games.

And, hooray for no DX10 or 11.
It "should" perform well with AA

I am replacing my motherboard soon, that way I won't have to run this game at min settings when it comes out.

BulletStorm won't have used the vast majority of the performance intensive techniques demonstrated in that map, because they won't run on console hardware, regardless of tweaking.

Wonder why XP is excluded from recommended if it's not using DX10. Considering it'll perform better in DX9 games than Vista on lower end hardware (like a laptop) I can't see why.

Wait, hang on a minute...

 

[elmuerte]

Wait, hang on a minute...

Required for multiplayer (I hope).

 

[BITE_ME]

Wait, hang on a minute...

I saw that too.
Can't wait to see what it's for.

 

[HedgeMaster]

Looks like I really have a monster machine

 

[Plumb_Drumb]

Required for multiplayer (I hope).

or a security check

 

[shoptroll]

Yup. Looks like a UE3 game.

 

[Bi()ha2arD]

Required for multiplayer (I hope).

Required for GFLW?!

 

[hal]

That's surely for a security check and/or the multiplayer portion. I doubt it's anything as horrible as Ubisoft's DRM or it would say "persistent connection"

 

[Northrawn]

Required for GFLW?!

This, I think.

 

[UBerserker]

Probably multiplayer-related. Requirements are higher than I expected, og.

That's true, but what is there will require GTX260 to run smooth. Epic are quite good with system requirements, so GTX260 means 60+ fps for you, and I believe I will be able to run it on 8800GTX with quite a lot of settings maxed out.
