Alpha System Requirements - Let the Upgrades Begin?

It is, in the same way that this:

While Vista became much less of a wreck after SP2, Windows 7 takes Vista to the next level on all fronts from usability to performance.

Tottaly, the one on the top isn't a convertible!

lol, nice attempt to take ur foot out of ur mouth.

Look at his original statement...

once SP1 came out and people actually started buying systems that could reasonably support it, Vista was the shit.

So, I would say that what he rephrased as is what he originally meant.

I mean, I don't think Vista was that great either, but it was better after a couple years.

I never had any issues with Vista really. I used it at work full time and I never had much trouble with it. However, Windows 7 is far superior as far as speed and look. I'm pretty sure they both share the same kernel but 7 is just a much better version.

[Enos]

well MS had some nice ideas with vista, but executed them far better with 7

I'm holding off on building a PC for exclusive use with FFXIV until i get a better idea of what exactly will run it decently because i plan to use the cheapest hardware that will give me high performance. Hopefully there will be beta testers that include dialogues of how their system fairs so i can get a good idea of what i want to use.

I wouldn't base your system performance on the Alpha or even Beta builds of the game. The Alpha requirements will probably be much higher than the retail requirement just because things won't be completely optimized in Alpha/Beta.

If you build a top performance computer now you will be fine, don't know how much money you are gonna save by waiting a few months

FFXIII is not 1080p, it's 720p (well, I'd assume the Blu-ray video segments are 1080, but the gameplay isn't), MGS4 actually runs at 1024x768 of all things. SF4 is 720p, so unless they're changing that for Super, it's also 720p.

Listing 1080p on the back of the box does not mean it's native 1080p. It just indicates that the game has a scaler, which has to be included in software because the PS3 hardware options for that are very limited. A game supporting output in 1080p is not necessarily rendered at 1080p to start with, but the former is what the 1080p symbol on the back of the box indicates.




I dunno, they mentioned continuing to push it, but this is the company that gave up on updating FFXI's compatible DirectX version. SE could come out and actually release efficient, scalable, feature-ready code for the PC...but it'd be the first time they ever have. Skepticism seems logical.

I didn't mention SF4, I know that's 720p on the PS3

SSFIIHD Remix is completely 1080p on both consoles

i got my laptop! I'm so ready for XIV now!

Bring it on April foos...
