Battlefield 4 – PC System Requirements Revealed, Will Not Support Windows XP

Battlefield 4 v2

DICE has revealed the official requirements for its upcoming first person shooter title, Battlefield 4. According to the team, PC gamers will at least need 4GB of RAM, a dual-core CPU, 30GB of free HDD and a GTX 8800GT (or an AMD Radeon HD3870). What’s interesting here is that Battlefield 4 will not support Windows XP (and most probably there won’t be any DX9 path for it). Not only that, but DICE recommends an Intel quad-core CPU (or an AMD six-core) for its shooter. The crucial thing here is that DICE did not suggest an I7, which could mean that Frostbite 3 may take full advantage of quad-core CPUs. Battlefield 4 is planned for an October 31st release and you can view the complete list for its PC requirements after the jump.

Lost Planet 3 – PC Performance Analysis

Lost Planet 3 v2

When Lost Planet 3 was showcased for the first time, everyone thought that it was a Dead Space wannabe. And you know what? You can’t really blame them as Lost Planet 3 shares an identical environment with Visceral Games’ third-person game. Not only that, but there are even more similarities between these two games; from the opening scene to the inventory HUD and the claustrophobic feeling (Lost Planet was an action game and not a horror-wannabe title). Lost Planet 3 was definitely inspired by Dead Space, though it also comes with some additional features such as mechs, a grappling hook, more action sequences than its ‘rival’, a main character that looks like Nicolas Cage, a generic camp, and a really horrible lip-syncing system.
