Gamers Lose It After 007 First Light Demands Hardware That Doesn’t Exist in System Requirements: 'Remember When Games Were Optimized?'

Nobody loses it, people are just mocking companies out of touch with reality. A game that I can't play releases? Who gives a fuck? I have hundreds of other games to play

So it's a game which is out of reach for many to play much less enjoy. Good luck on sales! Makes more sense to make games for the most common system type, like old school video game publishers used to do with consoles. This is just sloppy development and bad management rolled together.

I'm going to be honest, IOI's focus on massive seamless open world areas with tons of detailed, intelligent NPCs is one of the few use cases for massive amounts of RAM that I find acceptable. Improving their systems from Hitman is vastly preferable to making the game look slightly shinier.The NPCs are a big part of what makes Hitman so great. A dlc where they create brand new routes for every NPC would be like playing a brand new game

> As expected, the i5-9500K doesn’t even exist, and despite recommending 12 GB of VRAM (video RAM), the publishers also recommended an RTX 3060 Ti, which strictly came with only 8 GB of VRAM. Not to mention the game also required 8 GB of VRAM at a minimum, but then also required a GTX 1660, which only has 6 GB of VRAM.

In an effort to future-proof the game, they present-faulted it.
-
Huh. So if games are just horribly optimized and hardware costs a fortune, it will push more people to cloud/streaming their games. The corporations just keep winning. What a wonderful timeline we live in.

Expect more titles to do this in order to push game streaming as a service. They have to do something with so that useless AI infrastructure.
-
That seems the most likely.

FWIW, Amazon bought the James Bond IP last year (and also owns MGM Studios as of 2022). The relationship between this game and Amazon may be nothing more than that.

What a wonderful timeline we live in.Yep its pretty gross. Also why they love the ai bubble. They can buy up all the hardware and price us all out. I foresee in 10 years the majority of homes not having a computer at all or a dumb terminal connected to Amazon. Hell it probably already is that way
