Valve lowers system requirements for Left 4 Dead

reindeer

wow

*cough*reindeer*cough*

yeah, second. I know.

Yeah, yeah, lower requirement, whatever. I already pre-bought the damn thing, let me play it!!!

I have no friends that play PC games, any Joystiqers wanna do the co-op with me once it's out?


:(

Why the hell do all these idiots that blog say "after the jump" when there is no jump. It's ridiculous. They must think it sounds cool or something.

After the jump refers to clicking on the link that brings you to the page with only the article and the comments. The system requirements were, in fact, after the jump. What are you talking about?

i got my pc for 700 total
its a q6600 2.4 3 gigs ram terabyte harddrive along with a 8800 GT OC
so il be ok

i hope the PC game supports rumble with the 360 controller hooked up. Hacking zombies to death with rumble would be cool :)

I don't get some PC gamers. Source is one of the most optimised engines out there (yet a bitch to work with) so essentially more accessibility = more gamers = better sales, which are needed for publishers to support the PC. People needn't upgrade their hardware frequently just to play game. Most people don't need all the extra processing power!

One step in the right direction... now if they can just optimise the CPU down a little, then my laptop might run it...

Hmm.. i was looking at the Steam Hardware Survey results from Oct 2008 and I noticed that:

Only 12% of intel CPUs are over 3Ghz.
Only 1% of AMD CPUs are over 3GHz
Only 40% of people have 2 or more cores.

Doesn't seem like many steam users will be able to run it... weird..

If anyone is on the fence with L4D and which version to get, absolutely get the PC version through STEAM....it's gonna have enormous mod support that you aren't going to get on console, until maybe they make you pay for it like in Portal DLC recently released.

I think this is going to replace all modern multiplayer on PC, with the slight exception of TF2 which will still be strong as well as CoD4, but I think this is going to far bigger on PC, especially with Gears coming out for 360 owners (which I'll pick up for the SP).

Also, I hope for people that have the
360 version of L4D, that Valve puts in a 180 degrees hot bottom on the bumpers, because this is one twitch heavy shooter. This is a mouse heavy FPS bigtime, unless the speed of the game is dialed down on 360.

Really when it comes down to it the only piece of hardware your paying extra for games is usually the graphics card and memory though nowadays those can enhance other things like photoshop, video encoding and various other media applications. Who honestly uses a pc just for gaming? I had to purchase a powerful cpu and 4gb of memory so I could run certain engineering applications from home instead of having to run to the computer labs every time I want something done. I made sure to buy a adequate power supply when I originally put my pc together and later threw in a 4870 for gaming an voila work and gaming computer. So from my perspective I paid probably an extra $350 w/ gpu, heatsink for overclocking, and a little bit better memory for a machine that is able to significantly outshine my 360 in graphics. Plus games are cheaper so you definitely widdle away at that price. Graphics are nice but don't make the game. I still pay extra for certain 360 games because most of my friends are on live and playing online with them trumps better graphics though I really have a hard time giving up free mods and sometimes can't. You haven't seen what oblivion can really do till you mod it on pc imo. I prefer my pc but go where the fun is. Simple as that.

Has anyone tried this gane with a CPU processor of AMD64? I'd really like to know before I unwrap the game!

I have
P4 2.0 Ghz
1024 mb ram
GeForce 7600 GS 512 mb

When i play game L4d The framerate is good even min req says 3.0 ghs. video settings are high exept for shader i set it to medium frame rate is good.

Im guessing a laptop with :

Genuine Intel(R) CPU
T1350 @ 1.86GHz
1GB RAM

isn't even good enough for running single player, i've tried but it is way too slow, let alone that the graphic look like a bugged up Counter Strike.

D:
i need a new computer asap lol

So..I'm actually getting this tomorrow..

I'm really excited..but it says..needed 3.0ghz


here are my specs:

Windows Vista Ultimate
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9300 @ 2.50GHz
2.00 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT

Do you guys think I'll be able to run it good and multiplayer and shiz..


Thanks gaiz. :)
