Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 3

[Draug]

I'm kind of torn about the arguments I read on there about how high requirements will get less sales. On the one hand that might be true. People blame consoles for things but people with insanely low power PCs are also a reason why major strides aren't made much. I realize that Frictional probably wants the game to sell as much as possible but they also want the game to be better than the original, which does take power. You have to leave people behind at some point if any progress is going to be made. I'm looking forward to how the apparent extra power is being used in the game, if the requirements aren't entirely wrong. Reading through the thread about it it seems that a lot of people who could run the original on medium/high are going to be running this game on low.

A problem is also, that people complain, that they can't play games with their onboard graphics card. Guys, if you want a good gaming experience(highest graphics, anti-aliasing, etc), get a computer (not notebook, unless it's a powerful machine) with a good external graphic card...at some point it's nescessary to upgrade something, that's the way it is with technical progress. And if you can't afford it you are still able to play AMFP with a older machine, but you have to lower your sights regarding the graphics (medium-low settings).
Jens also said, that when your computer/notebook meets the minimum requirements you are able to run the game solid.
I'am also inured, that when my computer meets the min. requirements, that the game will run at 1fps. That should be not the case with AMFP.
