Just one more thing then i will shut up.......The Deves aint stupid they are making this game to last for-a-while and with that in mind it will demand a hell of-alot-more than SH3 ever did :yep:

SH4 looks to be one of those worthy titles that warrants a system upgrade, component or otherwise. At least if you care to enjoy it in all it's splendor (which I certainly do -- heck, it'll help with FSX too).

While, yes, SH4 will require higher specs than SH3, it is going to run smoother. SH3 should not run as slowly as it does on fast systems (loading screens, etc).

I hardly think a P4 2.0 processor, a decent mid range video card and 1 GIG of RAM is scary as a minimum spec for a game like this. Sure, if you really want to run the game maxed out you'll need a high end system, but SH4 will be playable to anyone who has the above specs.

While I have no doubt that my current machine will run SH4 (matches perfectly to your example specs) it is purely a question of how well and at what detail/graphic settings. Since it’s pushing 5 years old and I’ve got the fastest CPU that the motherboard can handle, and I’m restricted on video cards due to a AGP slot, so I will probably be looking at building a Core 2 Duo machine here in the spring to get up to date. 5 years out of a PC at the rate technology has been going isn’t bad at all.

Slight OT: What is that picture in your sig? Is that the official limited edition content packaging?

TDK1044 02-06-07 04:37 PM

To get five years out of a rig thesedays is excellent! I only lasted 4 years before my recent upgrade.

The sig picture is the 'Collectors Addition' packaging as of right now.

Two easy methods:

- Got to the My Computer icon and right click - go to Properties.

- Or run "DxDiag" by going to Start/Run - typing it in the box. This will give you some detailed information.

on the home comp i have 2.79 ghz with 1 ram and a nvidia graphic card not sure how good it is but ran fine on sh3, is this gonna work decent with sh4?

flintlock 02-06-07 10:40 PM

Decent? Depends how you define it. You should be fine to run SH4, though you'll likely need to scale things down in the settings and turn down some of the effects/eye candy to obtain respectable frame rates for gameplay purposes.
