Morin tweets the minimum requirements for the Windows edition of Watch Dogs,
the sandbox action game also known as Watch_Dogs (thanks
CVG). He also adds
that players going beyond this minimum will be rewarded, saying: "PC on very
high setting is REALLY stunning if you ask me. As for density it [is] also very
high of course." Here are the specifications:
IntelCore 2 Quad Q8400 2.66Ghz or AMDPhenom II X4 940 3.0Ghz,
6GB RAM, 1024 VRAM DirectX 11 Shader 5.0
SCard: DirectX9
25 GB

I wonder why the specs are so high. This game is coming out for 360 and PS3, both of which have a lot less RAM than 6GB.
I'm guessing the most recent development was for the now-current generation of consoles and that's where the PC version is forked. I mentioned the other day in the Titanfall thread about how games will be CPU- and memory-heavy now, and this pretty much backs that up. If you've ever heard of Parkinson's law, it applies here.
Seems like they're going to be leaving a lot of money on the table with specs so high.
