    These are the recommended system requirements. Not sure what they are doing behind the scenes but they are absolutely ridiculous for a game of this scope.

      It’s even dumber: look at the minimum requirements, too. The insane difference between the minimum and recommended tell me that it’s the original engine with a ton of shit bolted on top.

      That’s the only reason they’d recommend a 2080 or above – just sheer brute force. I hope I’m wrong, but I smell an unoptimized rerelease. Someone mentioned this studio remastered a Star Wars game (I forget which) and apparently it didn’t go well.

      We needed Nightdive studios for this.

        Aspyr is the company, it’s not really a ‘studio’ - they’re a porting house that used to port PC games to MacOS, poorly (but beggars could not be choosers in the post win95 world, crappy Aspyr port or none at all)

          I didn’t realize it was Aspyr (like you mentioned, I’m familiar with their earlier Mac ports of Windows games). Still sucks.

          it says switch, thanks for the positive comments and the obvious conclusion i am working PR on fucking lemmy, lmao. i was just trying to figure out where all the unfounded hate was coming from, i have deducted that i am reading comments from a bunch of pissy pants who need something to complain about constantly. truly incredible and insightful knowledge you have given and obviously taken the time to look at yourself.
