| the minimum requirements.... |
|
800mhz as a minimum? I hope they're able to bring it to a reasonable level much less than 800 for a minimum. Just think, Morrowind and NWN are having problems running on above average systems (morrowind much worse than NWN) and they only recommend a 800.
Imagine the issues Gothic 2 would have as far as lousy performance when it REQUIRES a 800mhz processor.
Bad news...bad news....

Aasgeier: I read on a forum the minimum requirements were 800 MHz, 256 MB RAM and a 64 MB graphics card. Is this correct and what kind of machine do we need to enjoy all the effects?
Mike Hoge: Yes, it will end up somewhere around this.
Seems like he did say that. |

No. He avoided a clear answer.
During the translation I changed the postion of the 'yes'. In German it was his last word, not the first.
The way I see it he says that the given specs are more or less enough for full effects. This can of course mean everthing if a developer says it. 
Tom Putzki said something similar months ago.

It appears my play on words didn't go over very well. Terribly sorry.

I really don't care, but I'm glad I could help you with your whine of the day.
Also, rather than making the title look ignorant, you could have just taken OUT the words, like I'm about to do. |

Well, if Morrowind stated that its minimum requirements was 1.5GHz and GeForce 4, I think the sales would have been miniscule.
The truth about requirements always reveal themselves only when you're testing/playing the game yourself. From that you can then judge the sense of the developers claims.
Gothic worked out pretty well for its claims. I'll tend to trust them. |

at least they're not underplaying the requirements
Microsoft: "Pentium 233 with 16Mb ram required for Win9x
Yeah, right - and I'm not using it for games, just word processing (buy a frickin pen and paper for chrissakes)
To be honest, it makes sense that high requirements means that the game makes high requirements for itself simply because it is a major-league game development
In that I mean:
"Gothic2 is designed to run on a Pentium 233 with 64Mb of memory so that EVERYONE can enjoy OUR game!"
I would be DISTINCTLY concerned over that message.
I think we're talking "audience capacity" rather than "if you have the ticket, you can get in easier" |

i hope the requiremend at a normal rate.
The must do that, big gamers won't buy ugly games.
So they must make it look good= high requirements.
High requirements means less games will be sold.
So they try to find a way to maximize the number of games sold = maximum profeds.
The world runs on money

Since the folks at PB said they kept the same basic engine, and only added a few new features, I expect G2 won't require much more than G1 for confortable playing.

Windows is perfectly usable with that configuration; what matters is the app/game you're running. |
