Posted October 8, 2015 Bethesda has released their recommended and minimum specs that’ll be needed to run Fallout 4. 8GB of RAM is both minimum and recommended and it’ll be eating 30GB of space on your PC, even more on console.28-35GB of space on a console for an extremely dynamic world with updated textures and a tremendous amount of dialogue and other assets isn’t so bad, and is actually quite surprising. Also in the blog post we learned that the game will be unlocking on a rolling release schedule set at 12:01 AM on November 10th in every time zone. Fallout 4 will be available in Asia on the 11th at 12AM however and on December 17th at 12AM in Japan. This means some will get to play it before others. If you were curious when you’ll be able to play with the Pip-Boy companion app (even if you don’t have the collectors edition with a physical Pip-Boy phone dock), that’ll be available starting on November 10th right along with the release of Fallout 4 And don’t forget that the Xbox One and 360 controllers will be fully plug-and-play supported just in case you wanted to to do that. Also, I’d imagine that the forthcoming Steam Controller will also work, though it’s not even out yet. Now we just need VR support. I wonder if VorpX will release a profile for Fallout 4 sometime shortly after release?

Posted October 8, 2015 Specs don't make much sense....... 550ti is way weaker than a 7870 (roughly equal to the 660ti) and the 9590 is a fair bit under the 4790. I guess they had to cover both though, as the 9590 is the best AMD chip right now.

Posted October 8, 2015 Wow, i7-4790 is the recommended CPU? I wonder if it will actually be written to take advantage of the i7's HT? I still remember Shadow of Mordor recommending an i7-3770 and then performing the same on an i3-4330. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Bethesda has released their recommended and minimum specs that’ll be needed to run Fallout 4. 8GB of RAM is both minimum and recommended and it’ll be eating 30GB of space on your PC, even more on console. How can it take more space on console? Also, 30 GB is hardly unprecedented... GTA V was 65 GB just to name one, so this is not unreasonable at all considering the massively open world and tons of dialogue options Update: Also nice to see companies giving up on 32 bit finally... anyone developing for that in the last 5 years was completely wasting their time Edited October 8, 2015 by Ryan_Vickers Solve your own audio issues | First Steps with RPi 3 | Humidity & Condensation | Sleep & Hibernation | Overclocking RAM | Making Backups | Displays | 4K / 8K / 16K / etc. | Do I need 80+ Platinum?

Posted October 8, 2015 8GB of RAM was always expected as one of the things Todd Howard has always been talking about is the greater amount of RAM the new systems have and Fallout intends to use as much as it can.

Posted October 8, 2015 It's going to take so much discipline to keep me from buying this at launch. But I really want to wait a couple of months for bugs to get ironed out, as these kind of open world RPGs are always buggy as hell. They have to be nightmares to test with just maybe 100-200 QA testers for something so large and nonlinear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 8, 2015 The game really doesn't looks like it would need a "recommended" 290x: Witcher 3 recommends that 290 or 770 and it looks substantially better than what we've seen from Fallout 4 so far. So either 1) Like most games released lately, their specs are full of shit and just want to create a placebo effect "It requires hefty cards henceforth it must be good looking!" 2) The game runs like utter crap Sadly I say both options are as likely coming from Bethesda, so overall not good news at all. I guess that's why they wanted to wow everybody with their reveal and cheap plastic pip boy preorder item and so on because like most Beth games, it will be a buggy and might even run like shit. ------- Current Rig ------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's the other side of the coin - games that promise certain minimums and recommended specs but actuallymtake an order of magnitude more power to be pleasant...

In a little bit they will have a more polished one that will have lower recommended specs (Like a 280 or a 770). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 8, 2015 290X... again Bethesda completely shat themselves on the graphics i guess. The already rendered textures looks low res as fuck, which is typical Bethesda... oh well. I'd take a much better core gameplay with more features over graphics any day. Much rather have much more fun in many different ways, than have fun watching how many more pixels are on each texture... If only more games followed suit to adding much more core features instead of mostly improving graphical fidelity. Plus, we all know that the modding community will allow us many different, better graphical options afterwards (if people so desire). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 8, 2015 To be fair recommending a 780/290x isnt that high, not to mention those are recommended specs not what you absolutely need in order to have a good experience. Anyway we'll just have to see how well optimized the game is when it launches.

Posted October 8, 2015 Remember, Fallout 3 was only around 9GB in size on PC (I installed it the other day). This is 3X the size, so there's 3X more in it (split between better graphics, a bigger world, and more quests) How to create a strong password Size does not matter; it's how you use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
