No, but you do have to worry about choppy frame rates and install sizes like the rest of us. It's looking increasingly likely that the hard disk on the Xbone will have space for under ten installed games, score one for future proofing!Roofstone said:
Welp, I happen to know for a fact that creating realistic traffic density algorithms is not CPU intensive, as it boils down nicely to solving a very well-known class of mathematical problems (traffic representation in a city is basically a weighted graph with some quirks, like weights depending on time of day). Pedestrian and cars will be popping in and out as soon as they are out of sight anyway, so I don't think its that much of a problem... Anyway, prudent thing to do for Ubisoft would be to release a benchmarking software in advance, so potential customers can test how the game would run, and decide on whether or not to upgrade their hardware. If they don't release it, I don't see myself buying this game any time soon.Rellik San said:
Fair enough then, but I guess it depends on how persistent they want the city to be and weather minor events are scripted or entirely random, plus I suppose generating individual date for upwards of 50 on screen characters (even if from an RNG) would be fairly taxing. I don't know I'm just ball parking ideas here for why it could require such a monster requirements, so feel free to disregard anything I say in this context.Hawkeye21 said:
Theres likely 2 base versions of the game the 360/ps3 gen and the xbox one/ps4 gen versions, and given the latter is much closer to PC archtecture already, and PC gamers would howl with rage at being given the older generation version the specs are preetty unsuprising.Mr Ink 5000 said:
The Q series buffered with about 8gigs of ram still give I3's a run for their money. As ancient as they are there is a reason enthusiasts love them for mid-end rigs. Of course I'm not saying they aren't getting on a bit, but if in terms of ageing processors;Petromir said:
The age I was more putting forward as part of reason for a lower clocked CPU being on par, especially one that has twice the cores.Rellik San said:
Ahhh it's cool, I didn't mean for that to come off as defensive, just as an example of how smart overclocking and system design can work together with older parts to give you a much nicer experience than others my expect.Petromir said:
If you're running a LGA775 proc, you can pick up a budget DDR3 compatible motherboard for about £40 these days, won't have shiny bells and whistles, but with PCI-E 2.0 support as well, you can find yourself an amazing stop gap solution until your big upgrade.Pity its a Dell (picked up for a pittance in a high street end of line sale) with an almost unheard of motherboard form factor so the case would need to be replaced.Rellik San said:Ahhh it's cool, I didn't mean for that to come off as defensive, just as an example of how smart overclocking and system design can work together with older parts to give you a much nicer experience than others my expect.Petromir said:
They're far more likely to rely on the next-gen system version to port it, assuming it's even a port. Specs will still be closer to next-gen devices, so....Teoes said:
The requirements are much more reasonable this time around, though.Teoes said:
