Wait, it requires DirectX 10, but it can run on Windows XP? What the hell?!:?

link?

Nice after what i seen latelly i expected a quad core and a freakin gtx on the reccomended. Its kinda weird how every game now has a mimum of 8800 gts and people still say that console hardware is outdated.dakan45

Doesn't seem CPU intensive at all which is good.

But my Card (an 8800gt) barely passes at all.

This is either bad optimization or listing of specs.

I mean I can run crysis looking like this just fine (my own screenshot)

FPS counter on the top right.

I am hoping it's just bad generalization of specs required.

Otherwise the Console version better look like crap.

That's not hard to meet.

I barely meet the requirements. :)

meh, they probably are talking about running the game at 1680*1050, quite a big jump from 1280*720. But who knows? System requirements aren't really that useful, it just means they tested with certain parts and it worked ok, then some other ones made it work great. I know plenty of people using lesser cards, but a processor like an e8400 and having great results.

[QUOTE="TerrorRizzing"] Well my mind cant grasp that in order to run this game at the lowest settings you need atleast a 8800 gts. I though consoles used 7400 GT quality or something, just how bad they optimize it that in order to run with the worst graphics settings it needs an 8800 gts which is more powerfull than console hardware?[QUOTE="millerlight89"][QUOTE="dakan45"]Nice after what i seen latelly i expected a quad core and a freakin gtx on the reccomended.

I am sure my 8800gt 512mb will be able to run the game at max settings with better graphics than console version! Capcom has NEVER dissapoint us !!! So go and buy the pc version to suuport pc gaming!!

Once I upgrade to the hd6 series (in about 6 months) this might be a fun pick up game later.

My phenom II 945 should run it no problem.

What are you using 2 5970s? Or 3 480s?

Not really.

A 5750 is around the performance of a GTS 250 and the 5770 is a bit better than the 5750.

So it's not miles ahead.

I find it weird that the minimum vs recommended are so close on gpus.

An 8800gts 512 vs a gts 250 is about as much performance difference as a 5750 vs a 5770 maybe even less.

damn i'm have to get it for the 360blangenakker

E7300 @3.33Ghz

4870

I'm sorted.

Capcom have a habit of making decent ports to the PC.

Probably just means you need a DX10 compatible video card, not that you actually need dx10. Captain__Tripps

That doesn't make sense! Why would I need a DX10 compatible video card and not need DX10?
Well, not that that's my problem, I have a 9800 GTX and Windows 7, but I was just pointing it out.

The fastest DX9 card is probably not as good as the minimum recommended card I would guess.

:roll: What part of 8800 gts "minimum" did you miss. You cant max this with 8800GT.

Either that or the requirements are wrong..... :P or there is the case of the game being a poor port with few graphics options in which case it will hardly have any "superior" graphics than the console version apart from resolution. :(

I just dont know what to think, but i think the way the pc requirements are rising on multiplats more and more and the consoles remain the same is somewhat weird. I just dont think the graphics quality is superior enough to justify for such requirements. From what i am told the pc hardware are "years" far superior than console hardware . Yet requirements keep on rising, just how bad they look on consoles?

I am gonna rent this on ps3 and buy it on pc just to judge.

Steam store page. The minimum kind of make sense. There will be a LOT of zombies on screen at once. It seems like optimization will be ok since the gap between recommended and minimum are quite low. Iantheone

and what about the console version? It will have far less zombies? :shock: If thats the case ill just get the console version and get it over with. Insane amount of zombies is lame.

sorry for late reply i am also looking forward to this game man i have a 9600gt i am wandering that can i rn it or not

i came in here fearing another i7 under reccomended. I am now no longer afraid.

Actually they most likely by 8800gts minimum they meant the old version the 96shaders 320mb version seeing as on Ati side the minimum is a 3850 which is a bit slower than the 8800gts 320mb version. An 8800gt is closely related to the 8800gts 512 mb with the 8800gts having a bit more muscle thanks to an extra 16shader units so the 8800gt is about 10-15% slower than an 8800gts which it became a rebranded gts250 ( the gts 250 is the exact same 8800gts but on a 55nm fabrication process and with higher clock speeds ). So all in all an 8800gt its about 15-20% slower than that recommended gts250 and if not maxing the game with an 8800gt should be able to play with mostly high settings at reasonable resolutions

Here is the link for the yougamers game-o-meter for dead rising 2 ( my 8800gt is a fair bit faster than the minimum according to their game-o-meter which is quite accurate as opposed to the "can you run it" which is way off thus like i said most likely its a 8800gts 320mb the minimum they recommennd )

Do these stats even matter these days? Don't accost me yet, they are needed, but when in the last decade have they been on par with consumer expectations of performance? Devs/pubs seem to think that everyone plays @ 640x480 with everything on low. With that said I doubt this will be the most demanding of games out of the box.I was envious of console owners when the original came out as zombie murdering is always fun.

To be frank I think they exaggerate system requirements a lot these days. A few years back understating system requirements was a problem, people were meeting the recommended requirements; and only getting medium. Their minimums were just so you could load the damn game, never mind actually playing it. Now they have gone too far the other direction, they are stating way more than you need.

That said I think Capcom has dropped the ball lately. Prior to Lost Planet 2, all their games ran amazingly well. Now their games are getting more resource hogging, despite visuals that don't reflect the requirements.

These are console ports after all. Their hardware hasn't been getting any better, but the ports are becoming hogs for some reason. I know developers need to minimize their costs this generation, but it's self defeating if they are hurting their sales. People are going to see those specifications, for a freaking console port, and be put off.

Hardware requirements for console ports shouldn't be going up so much, I'm certainly not noting any visual improvement to match the requirements. I'd have to see some benchmarks to judge if those requirements are exaggerated or not.

Damn, I have a 8800gts 320mb. Guess I can't run this then:( I loved the first DR aswell...

Yah I maxed out directx 9 Lost planet 2 at 1680x1050 with 2xaa and I was getting around 40+ FPS.

.

This was done with;

.

AMD Athlon x2 5200+ 2.7ghz

8800gt

2 gigs ddr2 800mhz ram

windows ultimate 64 bit

.

.

So I am fairly skeptical on the posted requirements.

.

.

.

Although Lost Planet 2 had the recommended PC requirements as;

OS: Windows Vista/7
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad @ 3.0 Ghz / AMD Phenom II X4 @ 3.0 GHz
Memory: 2 Gb
Video Memory: 512 Mb
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 9800 / ATI Radeon HD 4800

.

.

Which are lower in the GPU section compared to the Dead Rising recommended requirements.

.

Doesn't seem CPU intensive at all which is good.

But my Card (an 8800gt) barely passes at all.
