It's specs are more than Gears5, Quantum Break, SoTR, and Death Stranding... something is not right here....
game should recommend a GTX 650ti at most and that's with tessellation enabled.

Profchaos1224d ago

I'm guessing it's for running the game at 4k maybe it is just a ue3 game so it's strange that it needs that much

Eidolon1224d ago (Edited 1224d ago )

If it struggles to run at 1440p/60FPS on my RX 580 and Ryzen 5 3600, I'd be pretty disappointed at their optimization. I'd likely be playing this on my PS4 Pro or X1X, though.

XxINFERNUSxX1224d ago

Got a 3700x + 3070, 32GB ram. But this game is still using UE3 a bit old don't ya think? . "Mass Effect Legendary Edition is running on the same Unreal Engine 3 as the original trilogy" Yet they recommend an 8 core 3700x or a 4 core 7700 LOL. The 3700x can run rings around the 7700 I think that's a typo haha.

CrimsonIdol1224d ago

I reckon people in this comment section are putting more thought into this spec sheet than EA probably did. I reckon it'll run just fine on most peoples computers

XxINFERNUSxX1224d ago

I agree too, but something is not right with those requirements 🙃

gamesR4fun1223d ago

yeh that blew me away too like wth the 7700 lines up with the 2700 a bit better but imho this game must be highly multithreaded if this is the recommended.

Profchaos1224d ago

If anyone is interested the original requirements for mass effect 3 which is the most demanding in the franchise are

Minimum Specifications:

Operating System: / , Win 7
Processor: 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (equivalent AMD CPU)
RAM: 1GB for / 2GB RAM for / Win 7
Disc Drive: 1x speed
Hard Drive: 15 GB of free space
Video: 256 MB* (with Pixel Shader 3.0 Support)
Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible
DirectX: DirectX 9.0c August 2009 (included)
* Supported chipsets: NVIDIA 7900 or better; ATI X1800 or better.
Please note that NVIDIA GeForce 9300, 8500, 8400, and 8300 are below minimum system requirements, as are AMD/ATI Radeon HD3200, HD3300, and HD4350. Updates to your video and sound card drivers may be required.

Recommended Specifications:

Operating System: / , Win 7
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (equivalent AMD CPU)
RAM: 2GB for / 4GB RAM for / Win 7
Disc Drive: 1x speed
Hard Drive: 15 GB of free space
Video: AMD/ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB or greater / NVidia GeForce 9800 GT 512 MB or greater
Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible
DirectX: DirectX 9.0c August 2009 (included)

So despite using the same engine there is a jump in requirements obviously because the game is now running native at 4k I just wish they had ported it to a newer engine as ue3 is pretty dated when we are on the cusp of getting ue5 based games over the next year or two but I understand why they made the decision the underlying code couldn't be ported without breaking things essentially costing a ton more to remake elements of the game that could easily break the games flow

HectixTulip1224d ago

Bought 3080 with 10900k for rtx and dlss, quite disappointed they didn't implement raytracing in this game.

The og deus ex is magical. Im also very exited about mass effect legendary edition from the gp. Its next on my playlist never played mass effect game before.

IamTylerDurden1403d ago (Edited 403d ago )

Never played ME? It's imo the greatest trilogy of all-time and perhaps the best setting outside maybe Fallout. Play it. Great DLC as well. In 2 & 3 at least. Skip Andromeda. Also, Human Revolution was great as well even if OG fans claim otherwise.

shinoff2183402d ago

Mass effect 1 was great. I feel they dumbed down alot on the 2nd one and seemed more action like. Mass effect 1 the citadel was an explorable city. Far as I got in Mass effect 2 it was reduced to a location list no traveling through it. I disliked it alot(the citadel) part. I also feel they went more action oriented then rpg

just_looken402d ago

It always makes me mad when you see something you have done in the first mass effect or dragon age can make something change in the 3rd because bioware make 6 games in what 8 years? that did this but today 0 games do this.

I wish we had trilogies today were we can share saves and have multiple endings/path's on all 3 because of choices from anyone of them.

Its so funny being the bad sheparad from one to 3 then the end having just you and joker ha ha yet everyone is like hey your a hero with a 90% casualty rate.

CBaoth402d ago

Fallout can't hold Mass Effect's jockstrap. The one Fallout even in the ballpark is 3, and that's only because the DLC was extremely good. When Ken Rolston was in Bethesda's employment were they good. That's about it. They're now the world's greatest copy/paste developer out there. Bioware at their pinnacle was ten times better a studio than Todd's team. Go look up the games

IamTylerDurden1401d ago

Mass Effect is my favorite, followed by 2 and 3. Yes, ME2 was dumbed down but also refined in terms of polish and accessibility. ME2 had an awesome story, great DLC, and a solid cast. Mordin in particular. It's a great game. Even 3 which was the weakest was still solid imo despite the ending. If u love ME how do u not enjoy all 3?

Fallout is not a better game though FO3 was great. In terms of setting though Fallout is Mt Rushmore. The 50's post apoc setting was brbrilliant. I still put ME setting n lore above but FO is up there with setting.

Man play mass effect, best games ever

Miraak82 403d ago

Xenogears is my fav sci fi rpg

closed_account402d ago

Right? There's a serious lack of classics on this list.

The original 2 Star Oceans. Rogue Galaxy...

IamTylerDurden1401d ago

Rogue Galaxy never got that critical love. Beautiful PS2 game. Was it L5?

closed_account401d ago

@IamTylerDurden1 Yep, Level5. Love their stuff. Dark Cloud 3 please...

Godmars290403d ago

Why aren't there more? A Star Trek RPG for one. Or something with non humanoid aliens?

shinoff2183402d ago

Cause for some damn reason medieval is more popular ugghhh. I'd take some sci fi sh anyway over it. I've said time and time again I hope the elden guys are working on a sci fi type game.

Godmars290402d ago (Edited 402d ago )

Something non-post apocalypse or dystopian. Just world saving. Fighting bad guys while doing good and dealing with ethical/moral/psychological quandaries.

sadraiden402d ago

The reason why fantasy RPGs, and Fantasy as a genre, are more popular than Sci-Fi, is because of the low technology/high magic tropes. If all of your problems can be solved with looking up the answer on a smartphone, well, there's just lower stakes than if a character has to have a sword fight, and climb the tower, and rescue the fair princess and recite the ancient incantation to seal the evil.

Obviously you can have universe ending stakes in Sci-Fi, but that requires abstract reasoning, and an ability to RP in a way that is progressive instead of regressive. Couple that with Sci-Fi games and media generally being faster paced, and you've got a genre that attracts a very specific demographic of gamers.

just_looken402d ago

or go crazy and make a starship troopers rpg can you survive the bug fight?

The animated show was great showed what someone can do with the lore.

Fist4achin401d ago

A Starship Troopers game as a real time strategy like the command and conquer series would be awesome.

just_looken401d ago

@fist

We have that today but its a small team with a smal budget

Its not a major rts sadly but a start

jznrpg402d ago

I really hope Naughty Dog is doing a Sci-Fi game. As a lover all most things RPG I would love to see Naughty Dog quality in an RPG.

porkChop402d ago

They could do some really great stuff with sci-fi. The sense of grand adventure of Uncharted, but also with the stealth and crafting of The Last of Us. Different planets, creative alien races, collecting junk to craft repairs and upgrades for your ship and weapons, etc.

shinoff2183402d ago

Porkchop

Your getting me excited for something that doesn't exist. Damn

shinoff2183402d ago

He'll yea , hope we here something about that if they are. I'm not to worried about factions at all

just_looken402d ago

If it was the old naughty dog i would want that the new naughty dog no thanks.

IamTylerDurden1401d ago (Edited 401d ago )

TLOU2 is the finest game ND has made. U4 was fantastic. New ND is a more impressive ND. I don't rate Crash n Jak like i do Uncharted and TLOU. Even Uncharted 1 and 3 were not as well crafted as TLOU, TLOU2, U4 imo. Idc if ppl troll TLOU2, most ppl are clueless, that game was incredibly impressive.

TLOU2 combat, visuals, and acting were the best of the genre. I found the story deeper and more profound than most but it's subjective. The level design was excellent also. The score. Audio. Animation. It was a masterpiece to me. The rope physics, detail. TLOU2 deserved Elden Ring scores and ER deserved TLOU2 scores. If any game deserved 97 in recent years it's TLOU2. Best game i ever played and if ppl come with Abby bs i already know it's not worth it. Those who call TLOU2 trash are foolish. Just look at it running...
