    The games supposed to be a bit of a live service game so maybe it has a chance in the long term. Still skeptical though that it’ll succeed in the face of its budget

    Despite high memory prices

    Were they supposed to rewrite the entire game in the last 4 months?

      No need to rewrite the game, just choose a new art style and completely re-author all materials in the game. Maybe use fewer PBR maps for all the unimportant stuff too. Shouldn’t take more than a couple days.

          Couldn’t we just synergize and align the teams by proactively leveraging the power of AI? We should be able to maximise throughput by using AI to solve this problem, and I think we can drive success of the key deliverable by freeing up our resources, allowing them time to capitalize on future opportunities. With that said, is one sprint enough to get this deliverable to done, or do we need two sprints?

            Any good project manager knows you never never ever split anything across two sprints. You always gotta split things down until everything is doable in one sprint. Anything else is going to drag down your business KPIs hard.

        System RAM is used to load the whole game, it’s not directly tied to display resolution.

        I mean, maybe, I don’t know about that, but it has nothing to do with the dramatic surge in RAM prices.

    Clickbait headline:

    16GB mininum

    It will run on 16GB; the original announcement even mentions the Switch 2. There’s no reasoning would need 32GB for 60 FPS, given low settings and a CPU that can push it.

    That headline’s a bit disappointing, as I really love Notebookcheck. Their reviews and databases are incredible.

      9000-series intel

      Minimum requirements

      Yeah, seeing this, I’m really not too worried. IOI has always managed pretty impressive visuals in the past too, their stuff is really well optimized, considering the scope of their simulations. I’m really not that concerned for the game at these recommended specs.

      Not to mention game development takes years. Its not like you can just reduce system requirements at the end of development because of an unpredictable hardware shortage.

      Recommended settings are for the average user to plug it in and get that performance. Have windows doing stuff in the background, a couple chrome tabs open and you need more than 16GB. 18-30GB are not valid ram configs on intel desktop or AM4/5 so 32GB is the closest.

        18-30 GB is completely valid… If you have 4 sockets in your computer, nothing is stopping you from adding 2x4 GB sticks and 2x8 GB sticks for a total of 24 GB. And you can even still run at full dual channel speeds…

        It’s not that common, as most people don’t mix the sizes of the sticks… But as long as each dual channel pair is of the same size, and the slowest stick timing is good enough, there’s no trouble.

          Those are not valid configs for AM4/5. You cannot mix IC in them to work right and you would have 3 ranks per channel on DDR4 so it would not work correctly as you need one or a power of 2. You could technically get single rank ram sticks from micron that are 12GB, but the cost is more than 16GB sticks so I would go back to not a valid option. You could run one 24GB stick as well, but you should not be recommending that.

          You could run less than one command per clock and make it work with mixed configs, but it is just a bad idea and not recommended or in spec.

          If you had socked 1366 or one of the HEDT quad channel set ups running with one stick since a stick or slot died, then sure it would be a valid config.

      I’ve played games with some of my system’s stats at minimum requirements or slightly above before. Usually not fun.

    This really doesn’t make a lot of sense. What game needs 16gb of ram anyway?

    I don’t really know of many shooters that are CPU and ram limited so badly that you only get 60fps @ 1080p with cards like a RX 6700 - like the bottleneck has to be the GPU in that scenario, despite it being their recommended target right?

            Doesn’t quite go as far as it used to 😉 But for the record my goal back in the early 00’s was to break 85K :-)

              I college in 2004 I won the stock market game in my Econ class. The professor gave me a Hundred Grand bar as the prize saying I’d be making that some day. I messaged him 2 years ago say I finally made $100k but it doesnt quiet feel like the same.

              Also, if I invested $33k in Amazon then it be worth $2-million.

                Nice! Really makes me regret community college… I think they charged me $1.25 for every one I consumed, roughly a 125% mark-up… wish I’d just bought one share 😉

                Or stayed in CA doing IT 😌

        I think that he means that he’s added the maximum amount of memory that his hardware supports, rather than that he’s been keeping his GPU computation capacity filled.

      Nvidia sponsorship checks out. It’ll probably be bundled with nvidia cards on launch.

      I can’t remember the last time a 007 game was any good after goldeneye though. The brand is enormous in cinema but consistently has fallen short in games afaik.

    Recommended is for the game to run well for a user, not what it needs to run well. 18-24GB is not a viable config so 32GB gets it. MS says you need 6GB for windows to stay in ram, chrome will eat a couple gigs, and then the game likely needs like 10GB. 6700xt is a low end card from 5 years ago. The requirements and recommended seem fine.

        No idea, but that is their guide for setting recommended system requirements. You lose 8-10GB with windows web browser in back ground and windows depending on how you think your user will use their computer.

    I watched a bit of the gameplay reveal, looks like it could be interesting. Except, Bond’s model is TERRIBLE. Just looking at his face makes me want to pass up the game completely.
