Only if your opinion of "play" is reserved to high graphics settings only. The idea that a game won't run (or even be enjoyable) on a computer a little under the minimum requirements is preposterous.

The first time I played Crysis was with a computer with half the graphics card that was recommended (a 128MB 8600M GT).
Did it run? Yes.
Did it run on high graphics, and resolution? No.
Did I still enjoy the game? Yes.

And this one in the video is no 27"

How do you know? But anyway, whether it's a 27" or not is not even relevant. The video clearly shows an iMac running X Rebirth. And running it well.

So again, the reason Bernds video looks good is because he is either playing a module of the game used for testing without the engine bogging it down, or he is actually watching a prepared FRAPS style video from another computer. Period

That is ridiculous, bordering on conspiracy theorist.

Apple computers are not designed for gaming. But considering that, they do have great hardware, and play games very well.

So your basis for your post is that Bernd would choose a platform no one else is going to use and a computer not actually capable of long term stable play to showcase a portion of the video game... and I am the conspiracy theorist?

You don't showcase your game on an iMac and start the video by saying "Look it is just Mac guts it is running windows 7"

So at the very least, like I said he was playing a demo module designed to make it look good and strip out game background processes. People do that all the time when showcasing heavy software packages.

Dunno if anyone saw "the making of the trailer" video for rebirth.

Oooh it was made by MetalVenom? Nice. He's still around!

Skeeter · Post by **Skeeter** » Tue, 13. Aug 13, 12:48

Yep he made it and still around.

Bernd is playing the full game on his Mac in the controls viedeo, no stripped version or just replayed videos. The Fullscreen videos are made like MetalVenom(GVMuk) discribes it.

EmperorJon · Post by **EmperorJon** » Tue, 13. Aug 13, 15:08

When I listened to that video I thought, great, built in screen recording! Then he went on to explain it does it at 1 frame per second... hehe.

Please contact steam and update your game requirements accordingly then. As it is obvious the ones listed on Steam are far too high as Bernd has proven.

It quite clearly says "These specs are still being determined".

Post by **linolafett** » Tue, 13. Aug 13, 16:28

That is correct, the specs are currently not clear. There ist still so much stuff that will change in regard to the performance, that we can not tell the minimum specs. Take the Steam ones with a big grain of salt.
But a quadcore is needed for sure.

I cant stop watching the Scale And Detail video.

but than there is nothing to debate about, reading makes everything so boring, lets make up more conspiracies now that the whole "it will be released 2015 mark my words!!!" thing is out of the picture

hmm, how about these:

"its a console game"

"it is crap"

"egosoft lies about specs"

oh wait all those threads already exists

Okay...I've just been looking at the video's on Youtube and in particular, (at this time) the video showing Bernd demonstrating the controls of the player ship.
In the video the player ships scanner screen (I think) comes up with "Sky Meadows", which I'm having a guess is the station complex in the vicinity that the 'Skunk' is being piloted?
"Sky Meadows" I'm also thinking is some kind of agricultural/bio station/complex?
I'm gradually getting a grasp of the real size of some of these stations, also some of the 'little' features (quite a lot actually) intrigue me. As a matter of interest, has anybody else seen anything else in those videos that grabs their attention...so to speak?

They have Xenon, Paranid and Split sectors..... Hopefully their races will be in game too.... Also there is some ship graveyard and also there is structure that looks like Earth Torus(what's left of it ) It seems that Earth have been destroyed by S Nova( I hope not ) Did anyone else notice that in video ????

EmperorJon · Post by **EmperorJon** » Tue, 13. Aug 13, 23:04

I didn't notice any Earth Torus-looking station, no.

Lol that is expected from you

Anyway.... That structure that Skunk was flying trough in graveyard what does looks like to you???? The only thing I can think off is Earth Torus from AP destroyed version ( Im not saying im right) Also that space background without gas in background loos similar what we can see from earth today.....

Likewise my friend

PS: I said that because whenever I post something hi is right there out of nowhere to post that I'm wrong and hi is right

That's why I said it was expected

Anyway hi is man enough to tell me that you don't need to fight his fight

Edit: If you have anymore problems PM me there is no reason to discus this here

What? No.

I posted that I had not seen any Earth Torus station, because I hadn't, and I thought if you had seen it maybe you could state where so that those who hadn't could enjoy it.

As far as I am aware, I'm not "right there out of nowhere to post that you're wrong" all the time, and if you have any issues with that I'd appreciate it if you did PM me, thank you very much, rather than accusing me of something which I don't think is true. (And if it is true, it is not at all personal and rather me correcting you as I see fit.)[/i]

EDIT: Regarding the original Torus point, I'll agree that the section of wreckage in the trailer around 1:48 looks suspiciously like the Torus docking bay things.
