News Indiana Jones and the Great Circle requirements may put your PC in a museum — minimum requirements include a Core 7-10700K and a ray-tracing GPU

So, what you're saying is I'm not even going to consider playing this game until it's $5?

Having begun gaming 25 years ago, i really miss the times when companies would release demos and let you experience the game first hand.

It happens so rarely these days: Final Fantasy 16, System Shock remake and Resident Evil 4 remake, are the only games i can recall doing that in the past two years. OK, maybe Tekken 8 as well.

Stellar Blade has a nice demo, PS5 only though

What are the expected fps for consoles? As only the PS5 pro will manage to pull 60fps at 1080p high settings, the others are weak at ray tracing.

The game will probably get an undeserved bad rap for running poorly on under powered consoles like Cyberpunk did.

I mean it's Bethesda. Are we really surprised that they opted to not spend the development money to optimize and instead put the onus of good performance on the consumer with ridiculous spec requirements?

 

[Moonstick2]

Seriously, after watching that trailer, does it really look any better than Rise of the Tomb Raider (let alone Shadow)?

I cannot fathom those spec requirements.

I'll be playing this on my Xbox Series X. I'm pretty sure it will look good enough in 4K as Bethesda in all likelihood used the Series X as it target platform.

The new Crysis of gaming PC requirements. Nice.

Good thing red and green have new GPU's coming soon -- we can only hope there will be a decent bang-for-buck uplift. Also might be able to run "Minimum" "Full Ray Tracing" on RX 8800?

A friendly reminder to not preorder this or any other game. Give the YouTubers without early access a couple days to point out the good and bad with the game. Then you can make an informed decision.

Refusing to preorder games has saved me so many times. I'll admit that the pre-release hype can be hard to ignore sometimes. I avoided the Cities Skylines 2 and Star Wars Outlaws train wrecks recently, but they got me with Planet Coaster 2. The game's issues were buried prior to its release. It's going to take 6 months for Planet Coaster 2 to actually get finished and deliver on its promises.

I didn't follow this advice when I got Black Myth Wukong and I didn't enjoy the game. Played maybe 8hrs and haven't since.

Reviews have been solid. Eurogamer.net gave it, it's highest review score. Gamespot 9/10.

Both the Xbox Series X and PS5 are similar. Pretty sure Bethesda used the Series X as its target platform. No one knows for sure what the PS5 Pro will do until the game is released on the PS5 and could be next year.

I've seen gameplay today and I didn't really see anything spectacular. I thought RT was a step towards photorealism in games. It looks like a step backwards.
Paid more attention to shadows and lightning, but it didn't seem breath taking. I was far more interested in the story and paid little attention to graphics. Well, except the times when gfx didn't really look contemporary.

Wait for the independent YouTubers without early access. Sites like Gamespot have a conflict of interest given that they're both paid by publishers via advertising and must maintain positive review commentary for preferential access to games. Professional reviewers have destroyed their credibility to the point where large gaming conventions will make fun of them. I recall skimming a PCGamer review earlier today that gave the game an 86/100 despite mentioning multiple gigantic, glaring, red flags about the AI and quest designs.

 

[BladePocok]

Is this the future now? Will the games just be even more demanding from this point forward very soon? Or this can be regard as an exception, one in a million?

I wouldn't expect much beyond this as far as minimum requirements are concerned. These seem to be tailored for the capabilities of the current generation consoles.

I will say the VRAM requirements actually seem to be the biggest deal here as CompterBase did some testing and found that 8GB cards were limited to medium and even the 10GB on the 3080 isn't sufficient for Ultra (12GB seemed to be enough) at 1080p.
