Early guesstimate of system requirements?

[Hoplite7]

Pentium 4 or equivalent
NVIDIA 6600 or equivalent
1 GB RAM

Considering Vista requires 1GB itself, if it's a DX10 game they'd be foolish not to require 2GB of RAM at minimum. Good thing there's a year to save up for that upgraded system.

It's not going to be a DX10 game, DX10 is for an entirely different customer base.

From looking at the screenshots:
System Requirements: whatever you got - it aint enough.

If you compare pics from say Pirates of the Caribbean(2003 PC) or to any recent sea-battle game then pics CA released arent anything revolutionary. Just something you naturally expect to see in good 2008 games.

Of course I cant remember any sea game with actual soldiers boarding other ships.(in larger numbers) That would be new and require extra power.

Hmm, there's the Video Options you know. IIRC M2TW requires 128Mb of Video memory with shader support. This will require some more; say a good 256Mb one should do.
RAM: M2TW could do with 512Mb; so 1024 Mb would be reasonable.
Processor: there are more demanding processes out there than a TW one. So I think if you have some 2.0Ghz you should be (more than) fine.
Leaves us with OS requirements. M2TW was cool with older version than XP too; I imagine that this game won't require Vista just yet.

We will know in 2008; and if my guesses are worth anything, we will know by Christmas 2008.

EDIT: Of course CA will (highly) recommend more powerful systems.

That's largely what i was thinking too, but probably a little faster processor like maybe a non celeron 2.5ghz?
That would be the absolute minimum requirements. Possibly also shader 2.0 as a requirement for vid cards, which wasn't the case for MIITW iirc.

I would also guess that this engine won't be using dx10 yet as it wasn't around when they started building the engine. I predict that the evolution of this engine (the tw game after empire) will be using optional dx10 effects. The next revolution will probably use dx10 standard, with maybe some barely playable legacy support for dx9. My personal guess.

If it's much as a hog as Oblivion, that would be just sad; I dunno wanna use 60 men units, I rather have at least large.

I have
1 gig
3ghz
Pentium 4 HT
7600 GS

Do you think I can run it well?
