I mean I guess they have a point there that the Ignite Engine is finely tuned for the Xbox One and PS4's CPU and GPU, but they're x86 based systems...so this really makes no sense.

You just contradicted yourself, didn't you?

Haha the average PC is probably a 4GB laptop with a 2.2Ghz duel core CPU and integrated graphics.

Exactly what I was going to say. It really depends on what you classify "average PC" as.

Yeah. It can't handle it cause they can't program.

This is EA we're talking about. They're business men spewing out nonsense. The "average" PC is more than likely a laptop or desktop that has a low power i3 with one stick of 4GB in it and a very basic GPU. 

System Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X

GPU: Radeon RX 7900 XT 

RAM: 32GB 3600MHz

HDD: 1TB Sabrent NVMe -  WD 1TB Black - WD 2TB Green -  WD 4TB Blue

MB: Gigabyte  B550 Gaming X- RGB Disabled

PSU: Corsair RM850x 80 Plus Gold

Case: BeQuiet! Silent Base 801 Black

Cooler: Noctua NH-DH15

Yes. It's marketing for people that don't understand PC components.

Yea but the xbox one and the ps4 are both similar to each other and to a entry level pc. So as long as you have at least a 500 dollar gaming rig you should be able to run anything they throw at the pc. But probably what ea means when they say average pc they mean the 300 dollar 4 year old pc at your grandmothers house.

Lets just ad this to the list of EA fails.... Actually somebody should create a list of EA fails. I don't think I have enough time to dedicate to something of that scale. Maybe someone with less on their plate.

An APU, with the same graphics and other things would come to the same price at the end of the day (more of less)

It is okay, :) Save them pennies like the rest of us and you will be able to upgrade.

They're right the average 300$ craptop won't be able to run it, I'm sure the average gaming rig has the same specs...

I am confused.  EA had to port Crysis 3 to the Crysis 2 graphics engine to put Crysis 3 on consoles, I think this guy has it backwards.

I will even re-post my comment ;)

 

 

If I could buy a modern NHL game on the PC, I'd buy the SHIT out of it.

The reason sports games don't sell well on the PC is because they don't make any! Same situation with mortal kombat style fighters.

 

There's a market there, they just wont take the step to get it started. They also own the rights to nearly every sports franchise related game,  making it impossible for a third party sports game to be released on PC outside of EA.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Users cannot, and will not securely manage key material. Most users can't and the ones that can, wont.

Ask me about Bitcoin, Litecoin, Crypto-Currencies, and/or Mining them.

Personally I believe it is EA, not wanting to optimize the game for PC use.  There is a change though a large percentage of gamers might not have PC's that could support some game engines.  Even look at http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

 

Summary

Ram: 50% have 4GB or less ram

CPU: Roughly 50% have 2 cores or less

Video cards: From my glance over the list at least 10% appear to have intel graphics...to many video cards to be honest to go through

Video card ram: 50% have 1GB or less video card ram.

 

As much as I believe EA could make a game, if you judge by the components the majority have weaker system than a PS4 or Xone.  As much as people gripe on consoles holding back PC games, the developers also develop towards the majority "weaker" PC's.  (I do believe the consoles hold back PC's, but not as much as people think, and I believe they help set the minimums for PC specs as well)

People who game on PC wont have an average PC, they will have a gaming PC. People with an average PC will have a console.
