My current (way too outdated) setup can't play this, my CPU is a 2.0ghz pentium dual core, Yet It runs Skyrim like a champ.

@Vitamin Awesome Maybe this will make you feel better, I'm still on a P4 single core 2.6ghz. 1.5gb of ram. Geforce FX 5200. I can barely play Halo.

This is one of the few games I'm totally undecided on, so I'll have to wait for reviews on this one.

Well, this was always a console game first so it's not a surprise it has modest hardware requirements.

Wrong.

its not a "port" of console version. PC and Console versions of this game have been developed side by side.

Also, supports modding as Devs plan to release a toolset (considering the lead designer is the guy who gave us Morrowind, no surprise there)

They planned on this game to be an MMO...but they changed it to just RPG and they plan on making it an MMO later.

So NO it was not intended for consoles to begin with...

@Traptz yeah originally planned as an MMO...many many years ago...for the last 3 or so years it's been a single player game. The developers obviously want a piece of the console market and realized that making a PC only product is a mess of pirating and low sales.

It's smart of them, but they shouldn't pretend it's anything more than a console product ported to PC.

@Kitanishi Thank you for being the only person in the entire world besides me who actually knows what the word "port" means. I'm glad I'm not alone. lol.

Nothing original here, move along. I generally like EA's games, however, this one seems to fall more than a little flat, from what I just saw out of 30+ minutes of demo footage.

@Jeremy2112 not everyone needs originality, sometimes it just takes well executed fun. I've never been much into RPGs due to the combat and this one definitely has some pretty great fluid combat from what I've seen. Pre-ordered, paid off, and awaiting Feb 7th so I can play.

I on the other hand generally loathe EA products, but this one is tempting me. Looks spiffy.

Why do you need one to replace another? Are you running out of hard drive space?

Why do you say this:

"The only thing that may steer you off the course of adventure in 38 Studios' upcoming game is the graphics card: the minimum needed is a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB or ATI Radeon HD3650 512MB or better; the recommended is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX260 1GB RAM or ATI Radeon HD4850 1GB RAM or better."

I upgraded my video card recently, and eBayed the used Geforce 9600 GT 512 MB (which has about the same specs as the minimum 8800 GT). The winning bud was $20 plus shipping, so why is the video card requirement an issue again?

Because Joystiq writers are all console players and they know nothing about PC hardware.

@rajendra82 except that the 8800GT is better than a 9600GT..

@DarkSonata
Per Wikipedia

GeForce 8800 GT
Pixel Fillrate 9.6 GP/s
Texture Fillrate 33.6 GT/s
Bandwidth 57.6 GB/s
Bus type GDDR3
Bus width 256 bit
Processing Power 504 GFLOPs

GeForce 9600 GT
Pixel Fillrate 10.4 GP/s
Texture Fillrate 20.8 GT/s
Bandwidth 57.6 GB/s
Bus type GDDR3
Bus width 256 bit
Processing Power 312 GFLOPs

Yes the 8800GT is a bit better, but since both spank the crap out of a the other minimum card below with these puny specifications, you would be fine with a 9600 GT.

Radeon HD 3650
Pixel Fillrate 2.9 GP/s
Texture Fillrate 5.8 GT/s
Bandwidth 13 GB/s
Bus type GDDR3
Bus width 128 bit
Processing Power 174 GFLOPs

Minimum resolution of 1280 x 720 + those requirements = console port confirmed!

It's on PS3 and 360. Of course its PC specs are modest.
