Slop like this deserves to flop and hopefully it does. Absolute slop of the highest order. Everyone who worked on this should be ashamed.So, the official recommended specs for 007 First Light were revealed and we're looking at modern gaming in a nutshell:
32 GB RAM
12 GB VRAM
For 1080p 60 fps. Tragic stuff, another optimization disaster incoming?

If sub 1080p with fps dropping into the 20s is fine then sure...

IOI is trash, if Mindseye didnt convince you, this will.

The damn conspiracy theorists about corporations pushing us to cloud and subscriptions might be right . . .
price people out, make it run like shit, this is reminding me of when Cyberpunk ran best on Stadia when it came out . . .

Based on what we've seen from their showings so far, there's a less than 0% chance of that occurring.Plot Twist: The game runs amazing on PS5. 1440p60fps.

RAM had been dirt cheap for over a decade. everyone shouldve upgraded by now. i bought mine for like $80 in early 2023 for hogwarts. Anyone gaming in 2026 on just 16 gb probably doesnt believe in upgrading their PCs.

So it can run on the Series S 10gb of shared ram with split speeds, but on PC you need 32gb and 12gb vram.
Digital foundry is gonna have a field day.

The game is designed to run on a PS5 with a total of 13.5gb of ram. It will be fine.

and most steam users play shit 20 year old games like CS duh
People who like to play all kinds of PC games at high quality, already have much better specs than those steam stats

Wanting more than 1080p is out of touch with the modern values.

Just realized that the graphics cards recommended are from 2020. Come on now. If you guys cant be bothered to upgrade your GPUs from 6 years ago then wtf are you all doing gaming on PCs? Go get consoles if you dont believe in upgrades.
I for one am glad that devs are FINALLY using the 13 tflops 6700xt, the XSX equivalent, and PS5 equivalent 3060Ti as the baseline on PC. It shows that the devs did push the visuals. They are pushing PC gaming. We are finally getting games that let us push our expensive fucking hardware. Instead of maxing everything out and running at 8k or 240 fps.
It saddens me that PC gaming was hijacked by these posers who have zero interest in upgrading their PCs, zero interest in graphics fidelity, and just want to nickle and dime their way into building PCs that failed miserably as soon as devs started putting out next gen games back in 2023. I remember everyone with their Zen 1 and Zen2 CPUs were super mad because Todd Howard told them to upgrade them. They cheaped out with the Rx3600 and paid for it with almost every next gen game. But instead of simply upgrading, they stuck with it and blamed UE5, Bethesda's Creation Engine, even some Sony ports and other gorgeous next gen experiences just because their dated GPUs and CPUs couldnt run them.
Back in the day, if you built a PC, you made sure it was at least 2x-3x more powerful than the base consoles so you could run it double the framerate or double the resolution. That mean buying a 2x better GPU. Upgrading your RAM. CPUs were terrible on the PS3 and PS4 which led people to get lazy and complacenent with CPU upgrades on PC. And the same thing happened last gen when simply 16 GB of ram was enough since the PS4 had 8GB. Well, over 5 years ago, the PS5 launched with 16GB, everyone and their mothers shouldve run to the store to pick up 32GB of ram the day the specs were announced almost 6 years ago now.

Which is sub 1080p due to the internal rendering resolution. Since the switch doesn't use DLSS4, it'll look very bad in docked mode and better in handheld due to the screen.
The framerate will surely not hold 30fps.

lol dont be daft. Plenty of cross gen games were coming out until 2022. means nothing. Hitman 3 was designed with last gen specs in mind. This game is designed for PS5 specs.

Yeah and minimum gpu is seven years old the horror.

A game with a bunch of DEI slop in it is a poorly optimized mess?

Those requirements make no sense.
They say it requires 12Gb of vram at 1440p. But then they say the recommended GPU is a 3060Ti which has 8Gb.
And for 1080p, they say the minimum is 8GB. But then say it's a 1660 with 6GB.
Seems like minimum requirements are always made up by some intern.

I bet It's more the ram and vram. There's probably a ton of people with 16GB and 8GB vram. So they can't even do 60fps.
Most probably barely hit those minimums for 30fps.

why would it not hold 30fps?

Ok now I see where this is going. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks we're gonna see a deluge of games that all of a sudden will need
32 GB of ram to run at "recommended" specs. With the price of ram going through the roof right now......hmmmm I wonder if memory
companies are talking with game publishers/developers. NAH, they wouldn't do that....would they?!

Another retard who thinks the only beneifts/reasons to use PC gaming, is visuals and performance.

If Cyberpunk can't hold a constant 30 fps on switch 2 while running way better than 007 first light will on the minimum/recommended hardware listed above, I don't see what hope 007 has on Switch 2.

You still have cross-gen games to this date, Sonic Crossworlds launched one month ago on last-gen consoles. It's silly to say « yeah but it was launched with last-gen in mind ». Hogwarts Legacy's had leaked footage since 2018, doesn't mean it targeted last-gen consoles.
Hitman 3 runs poorly on last-gen, unlike Hitman 1 and 2.

You know, you could just turn the settings down if your PC can't git gud.

those minimum specs make no sense tho. neither do the recommended ones.
as mentioned by many already, the GPUs listed don't even match the VRAM requirement given for each bracket.
there's no way this game is more demanding than Cyberpunk, especially on the lowest settings.

The game was literally revealed on the base PS5. There is over 30 minutes of footage here. it looked fine in terms of IQ. There are CPU related drops that will need to be fixed by launch, but the IQ is fine. NX gamer said that the resolution was 1440p.
They have already confirmed a 60 fps mode on the Pro with PS5's quality mode ray tracing features.

Star Wars Outlaws has more demanding specs and runs more stable on Switch 2 while having ray tracing.

I doubt a closed-environment game is less demanding than an open-world one

Never said anything about only, but if you are bitching about not being able to run next gen games that have requirements that are literally 5 years old then you are not interested in PCs for visuals and performance and this post was not about you.
Go back to playing hollow knight and hades. Leave modern games to people who care about playing something other than 2d games from the 1950s.

Star wars also drops from 30fps on switch 2. The issue here is not the capability of the switch 2 but the capability of the devs. Even in their initial ps5 showing, it was dropping frames like crazy.

This happens every time in spec reveal threads on gaf. Every time. Then the game releases and it runs fine.
This game is releasing on a 4 tflops Series S with like 7.5GB of game. And a 3 tflops Switch. It will run at 60 fps using quality mode ray tracing settings on the Pro, a console with the same exact CPU as the base PS5, and a GPU just 45% faster.
My only concern is the CPU performance based on the footage, but since they are able to get 60 fps on the Pro, i am hopeful it will be fine on PCs. But even if its not, i have zero issues playing the game at 30 fps or going to microcenter and getting a better CPU. Even with ram super expensive nowadays, microcenter is running 9800x3d mobo and ram bundles for like $650. And thats the best CPU on the market.
