This is surprisingly....very conservative requirements.

Well it was built to work on base 8th gen consoles.

70gb is good, considering CoD Warzone needs 120gb. :P I'm just hoping the RPG elements give it a good feel.

Not too much but then you remember that Witcher 3 on PC was only 35GB...

I mean. 5 years of technology, a much bigger world, higher quality assets, audio etc and only double the size?

That's actually great.

So 12 gigs ram plus the 6 gigs of the vram of the 1060, so 18 gig ram recommended. The ps5 has 16 gigs, is this a concern?

No

I am no expert but it seems to me consoles are much more efficient with memory. I mean look at what the 7th and 8th gen has done with relatively little memory. PC memory requirements are always higher.

Furthermore, its possible console graphics aren't equal to PC at highest if there is a lack of memory. So nothing new.

Since the CPU and GPU don't have one unified connection to memory/shared memory some parts of the game will need to be addressed in both memory spaces. This is one reason you will see higher memory usage on PC games. There are many pros to this approach when making a general purpose PC so it makes sense that this will never change not to mention that optimizations to one piece of hardware like consoles usually can come at a smaller memory footprint

I had assumed the PS5 GPU will have its own dedicated memory like a PC GPU and didn't realize it'll have a shared pool of RAM. Regardless, 16 GB should be plenty to cover it for the entire generation so I'm not at all concerned.

hopefully the ps5 OS doesn't use up more than 3 gigs.

If the PS4 can run it with 8GB of RAM, 16GB will be plenty. A console doesn't need nearly as much RAM as a PC.

I gotta assume these are the 1080p specs.

How come if I may ask? It's one of the first games in a couple years that I'm truly excited and looking forward to.

You can thank X1 and PS4 for those specs, the game has already downgraded visually.

You can thank X1 and PS4 for being a significant revenue generator.

It's only good if they have downgraded the ps4 and x1 versions to be able to let them run better,and we have the option to play the best version if we want to.

Do you do ANY research before you click submit on any post on this website?

@Random_Matt, do you do ANY research before posting on this website? The game looks significantly better than things we saw from it in 2018.

This is a game made for current gen also. We don't know how open ended the level design is, as in the field of view is limited and closed in with surrounding buidings, and the character models, although clean, aren't that highly detailed. So for 4k 60fps, we might not need such a higjh end gpu.

Ofcourse it can, if it's highly optimised. Remember this is built to run on the ps4 aswel, so it's current gen design. Look what they have been able to do on the ps4 with a gpu so outdated and inferior to the gtx1060 by a good margin.
