Judge Hades Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 It definitely will be greater than KotOR 1.
Exar_Kun Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 The big deal is that a game is less than a month away from release and such basic information has yet been stated. You would think they would know the minimum requirements and recommended requirements by now and if they do why not post them on the website like many other publishers/developers do when a game is about to be released. Something is up. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good point, Hades. At this point I am absolutely stumped on what the heck the deal is with TSL. I've been checking every website I can, and all I can get is 'system specs are coming soon', or, like Walmart did, putting the KOTOR specs up for KOTOR II. They've listed [correct me if I'm wrong] System Requirements: * Windows 98, 98SE, Me, 2000, XP * Pentium III * 1 GHz * 128 MB RAM * 4 GB hard drive space * 32 MB OpenGL 1.4-compatible PCI or AGP 3D video card * DirectX 9.0b-compatible sound card * CD-ROM 4x This bothers me because I've been saving for a few months now for KOTOR II and I just barely meet the requirements for the original KOTOR - I have a 1 GHz P3 [although it keeps telling me I have a 996 Mhz and therefore can't play it <_<], plenty of HDD space, and KOTOR 1 ran fine - of course, having a 256 MB ATi 9600 card and 384 MB of RAM helped too. If I'm going to need a new processor to run KOTOR II because it needs a 1.5 GHz, I'm going to go stick the cash I've saved in the bank and try and deal with my disappointment now instead getting all psyched out about a game I won't be able to play. And since the game is going to be released on 2/8 - which does seem to be the release date, regardless of whatever anyone else is saying - I find LA / Obsidian's lack of information disturbing. Or, to quote Darth Vader- "The Emperor is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress". <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Chances are you will be able to play it. It's probably the same as KotOR 1; I mean it is the same engine, etc. Even if the recommeded is at 1.5Ghz you'll probably be able to still play it, just might not be too pretty. This is coming from someone who managed to play Max Payne 2 on a 500mhz .

Fearless_Jedi Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 I think there's a lot riding on this release, for both L.A. and Obsidian. Mike Gallo has been quoted as saying that the success of KOTOR 1 and 2 will ensure the Star Wars RPG franchise. Link. If they need more time to polish up the PC version, they should take it. While I never suffered the XBox problems or multiple "broken quests" that some have complained of, the errors I did encounter were annoying and detracted from a very good game. Most seem to be the kinds of errors that could easily be eliminated from the PC release. I wouldn't mind a 2nd Quarter release at all if some of the additional content was restored. That said, "the powers that be" should keep us informed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Argh! why does everyone insist on a delay to the PC version, they can release it as planned and the just come out with a patch that fixes everything without us having to wait.

The Bardic Pen Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 So we can immediately start showing off our bug-free games to the poor sods who bought it for the X-Box. Besides, there's a chance they'll feel bad for the delay and give us our custom lightsaber hilts.
Judge Hades Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Fearless, I rather have a bugless game released later than get the game now and have it patch later.
Darth Ni Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Fearless, I rather have a bugless game released later than get the game now and have it patch later. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd rather have a bugless game released now.
Master_Splinter Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Fearless, I rather have a bugless game released later than get the game now and have it patch later. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd rather have a bugless game released now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's no such thing as a bugless PC game =P
Judge Hades Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Yeah, which is unfortunate. Its too bad the quality of some PC games are downright shabby *cough*ToEE*cough*.

It doesn't hurt to dream though? The closest thing I've seen to a "bugless" PC game is Star Trek : Starfleet Command 2 Orion Pirates. That game has a million patches, almost every bug has been fixed in the game. A major online game like Everquest, FF XI, Planetside, Counterstrike, Anarchy Online etc. etc. etc. has more bugs because of the amount of content in the game.

I know that we've come to the general conclusion that the system requirements will *slightly* higher than KOTOR, but it would be really, really nice for Obsidian to throw us all a bone rather than leaving us hanging. I hope that THEY know what the reqs. are! You got Max Payne 2 working on a 500 Mhz??? I'm not worthy!

oherror Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Fearless, I rather have a bugless game released later than get the game now and have it patch later. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd rather have a bugless game released now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> or do what you've planning on doing hades, get the game later if at all. by then you should have a game thats nearly bugless because of the patches that were released before you bought it....
Darth Ni Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 [although it keeps telling me I have a 996 Mhz and therefore can't play it] Hmm... The KotOR system analyzing tool is really stupid. My friend had a 700MHz and a 800MHz and ran KotOR on both of them. I had a 900MHz and KotOR ran smoothly on it too. I don't use it anymore though...

Darth Sun_Tzu Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Better late than never. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Does this mean that you are actually gonna buy it? Another great idea by the people who brought you beer milkshakes! "I don't see a problem...then again, SW isn't my life, so what do I know...." - some who makes 27.8 post per day on a SW forum!
NeverwinterKnight Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Better late than never. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Does this mean that you are actually gonna buy it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> was there really any doubt?
Judge Hades Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Actually, I am not spending any money on it, though when I finish playing it you will have a full review of what I think of the game when I finish it. And no, I am not pirating it.
