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.
I've heard of Moore's Law, and of Parkinson's disease. Is this the intersection of the two?
*googles*
Ah, "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion." So you're saying, b/c they've got the extra bandwidth, they're going to use it.
RIP RedEye9. We miss you.
