THQ reveals the minimum and recommended system specifications for
Homefront, KAOS Studios' upcoming military shooter set during an invasion of the USA. On a related note,
Computer and Video Games has word from KAOS that the game should offer about an eight-hour solo campaign. "Some of them will get through it in eight hours, some of them will take longer than eight hours. There's a varying level of challenge depending on the skill of the player," designer Zach Wilson told them. "We've honestly seen players take more than an entire day play through the single-player campaign, sitting down and not doing anything else." Both sets of system specs follow.
Minimum Specification
- Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7
- Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 2.8GHz.
- 2 GB RAM
- Shader Model 3.0 graphics card with 256MB of memory
- NVIDIA GeForce 7900GS or ATI Radeon 1900XT
- 10GB of free hard drive space
Recommended
- Windows Vista or Windows 7
- Quad Core 2 GHz+ CPU
- 2 GB RAM
- NVidia GeForce 260 or ATI Radeon 4850
- 10 GB of free hard drive space

It's sad that so many people think that's acceptable. Then again, most of these older "OMG I GOTZ KIDZ AND AN UGLY WIFE NOW BAWWWWWWW" gamers want a game they can pound out in 2 hours and then brag to their other 40+ year old gamer wannabe friends that they beat something other than a casual kiddie game for once in their miserable post-gamer retired life. Thats funny because when I consider it I assume it's console kiddies fault, for what is no doubt equally retarded reasons. I do say it is to be considered at this point that some people have just always had these shorter games, so for some portion of gamers, it has always been the norm.
The real reason is the smaller they make the game the faster they can get working on the next one, and in probably most cases it also increases the profit margins. $$$
in defense of this, especially in regards to smaller/indie devs, they just might not have the budgets. |
