SSD REQUIRED??

[Blazin Hazen]

Wow. My system is officially obsolete apparently. This is a first. Very sad to hear.

[Yoonas]

What is your system? Also sooner or later everything gets obsolete, that is nothing new.

I have a dell g7 laptop with an i7 intel and gtx 1060 gpu. Standard hard drive…

My last system was gtx960 and 1tb HDD. It finally died 3 weeks ago, but never had a game it couldn't run. So don't rule it out. You never know.

SSDs are fairly cheap nowadays, you can probably get a relatively small one without much trouble.

[Serpico]

What do you expect?
Both Xbox One & PS4 came with HDD as default
Both XSX & PS5 came directly with PCIe SSD ( not even normal SSD )

PS5: Custom 825 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
XSX: WD SN530 NVMe SSD w/ custom ASIC supporting PCIe 4.0 x2

So even a normal SSD is "starting" be outdated at this point (for gaming).
Calling HDD obsolete now sounds weird tbh.
Dead Space was developed for PS5/XSX Gen from very start unlike most games.

So AAA games were always designed around PS4-XONE limitations until recently, but that is not the case anymore.
DS Remake even recommends a PCIe SSD on PC.

If you dont have an SSD in 2023 yet then you are seriously lacking in the hardware department. You can't blame devs for making games that requires "modern" hardware.

[Revenholm]

There is also the Solution of a extern SSD if you use a Laptop for Gaming..

and you can use the ssd on your next system too

[Lore]

Yes. You've been obsolete for some time.

I think people are just getting upset because they have had ssd's for so long believing it was needed, when in reality a hdd can still do the job. I used to use the "can you run it" site, but I stopped as it was always wrong. Always saying I didn't meet the minimum requirements, yet I could run them perfectly.

Lets be honest. A lot of people who make these "system requirement" threads should just game on a console.

[Wisebl00d]

When wasn't a ssd required recently? Even the two major current gen consoles have them.

[CaleoGaming]

I have a 2TB HDD and that is where i'll install dead space.

Can you run it just compares your system specs to the published specs. It doesn't try ot stres test your machine to see if the game would work. I'd guess that game devs set the specs to ensure some degree uniformity in low end performance not at the least powerful machine that can actually boot the game.

Of course an HDD can do the job, but it does it poorly. It's not about if it can do it, it's about the speed in which is does that job.

Loading Times have become near non-existent thanks to SSD's. A large interconnected world like the Ishimura is most likely relying on a user to have an SSD for that fact alone. It's most likely to mask, as much as possible, the small loading bits of the tram travel.

Hi, you can purchase an external SSD if you absolutely feel the need to but your hardware IS FINE trust me <3 loading screens will just be a little long, some textures may pop in, the game will be okay!
