These specs are completely suspect mainly for two reasons:
Intel Skylake CPUs as a minimum, they just came out... Please explain this one.
8GB of Ram minimum and 16 GB recommended, Batman Arkham Knight doesn't require this to run. I know, two different games but Arkham Knight has an entire city landscape and Star Wars has a lot of empty space but with multiple bots and players. This requires way more optimization... If you aren't sure if you can run it, get a console and save the trouble. I am passing on this...
He has a LLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG way to go to make EA the greatest games company. I quit playing BF3 because Origin is so poory made. I had to restart the campaign numerous times because of a bad hard drive and having to reinstall every time. How hard would it have been to include cloud support for saved games? Every backup failed and support was terrible. Steam was up and running in minutes and it saved all my saved games.
@SNESNOSTALGIA2 They just take the pre-orders, it's Sony who has to fill them you idiot. Neither console is driving me to camp out to make sure I get mine. In fact if I did pre-order I would have sold on ebay and let them drive up the price. They get "x" number of consoles and if you have "3x" who pre-ordered. They don't go by who was first but by who shows up first. If you learned anything from last release in which you didn't obviously, never buy something at launch. 360 red rings ring a bell? The managers have nothing to do with the giveaway, its just compensation.
1. Did anyone read this? "Tom Mc Shea loves platformers and weighty moral decisions. Some call him a T-Rex with bigger arms, some call him a gorilla with smaller arms -- you can just call him the jerk who hates all the things you love and loves all the things you hate."
2.Did he really write a review about the game or a half-assed one to get us to respond to show his people we are actually reading his reviews.
3. Did he even play this game or the original? You can't compare games from 20 years ago with games of today with today's standards.
@MoK86 Listen up you f'n A-hole, do not talk about things you know nothing about. I have spent time at sea, without anything to remind us of home to keep us sane, the whole ship and crew would crack. Nothing like angry sailors with weapons on board hitting that first port with nothing to do to keep sane. They kept showing the same BS movies over and over for a week. Twilight movies 3 times a day for a week, F*** shoot me. If we didn't have a console to play movies or games, headlines would read sailors invade French port, France surrenders.
Intel 3770-K quad core running at 3.5GHZ boosts to 3.9
16GB 2133 MHz DDR3 Ram
2 GB Geforce 680 GTX SC (since 780GTX just came out will go SLI when price drops)
2 SSDs one for OS one for games
2 HDDs for mass storage
a generation ahead my ass. My cpu alone trumps what they have and it's an Ivy Bridge. Haswell just came out and I can get one on my employee discount at Intel and further the gap. Especially both are 1.6 GHz 8 core AMD processors. AMD has shown they can't compete with Intel with CPUs. My GPU trumps their AMD 7000 series based gpu. My ram is double however not DDR5 like the PS4. GAME, SET, MATCH, PC.
@samueljeon Too bad for both, AMD can't match Intel and Nvidia in CPU's or GPU's. They should have paid more and secured a longer future for their products. If the specs are true, AMD's cpu will be a real bottleneck because of the lack of speed and the known fact that they haven't produced solid results in the cpus for years now.
@puppeteer You should have gone with an Intel. AMD is 4 years behind Intel technology wise and the new Haswell's will further the gap. Games today are more GPU driven than cpu driven so your arguement for AMD is mute.
