The minimum specs say 1gb ram and 128mb vram, but I'd expect heavy chopping with that setup. The lighting and environmental effects are pretty intense.
It's sad that there's no multiplayer for this as well. The story takes place in 1960 on a mad scientist's secret lab/utopian commune beneath the ocean, so I could see how multiplayer might not have made sense per the setting. I hope the sequel winds up in space on some massive mothership with some intergalactic arenas to deathmatch in. |
I think it's so much cheaper to play Bioshock on Xbox 360 than a computer, you'll get amazing graphics for less... 360 has 3 processors (3,2Ghz each), 512Mb of ram (with this you can also listen music when playing... it's not low for a video game console) and a powerful ATI video card (which i don't remember exactly about it). It allows you to play in a 1920x1080 (up to) Resolution, progressive scan, widescreen and decent anti-aliasing.
"Only" for US$ 350.00 (premium version, with HDMI output), a GOOD video card may cost more than that (you'll also need a good processor, good ram).
PS: there's Gears of War too, another amazing game (third person shooter, online mode), and Halo 3 is coming 09/25.
