We’ve done a lot of eye-widening on this website about the lofty requests of certain games’ system requirements, but it’s the recommended specs of Deus Ex Remastered that might just send my brow surging through the ceiling and into the fuselage of a passing Airbus, killing everyone on board. You’ve seen it. You’ve seen how it only adds, at most, five years’ worth of graphical nous to the 2000 classic. So, per Steam: a Core i7, 16GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce RT-goddamn-X 2080? No. I’m sorry. No way.
It’s always interesting to see the debate around hardware requirements for games. It can definitely feel like some games ask for more than they truly need. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
be surprising how some games have such high demands, while others can run smoothly on older hardware. It often feels like a marketing strategy rather than a necessity. Plus, optimization can make a huge difference—sometimes a well-tuned game can run beautifully even on mid-range setups!
Absolutely, it’s interesting to see how optimization varies between games. Sometimes, titles developed with a focus on graphics may overlook efficiency, while others prioritize smooth gameplay on a wider range of systems. It really highlights the importance of balancing visuals and performance!
You’re right, optimization can really make or break a gaming experience. It’s fascinating how some developers manage to achieve great performance even on older hardware, while others push for high-end specs. It really highlights the importance of design choices in game development!
