System specs are high

[Mylo]

Im very surprised the system specs are this demanding? Surly these should be recommended specs? I thought this game would be laptop friendly. I was expecting min specs something like core 2 due etc. It seems as though the optimisation process is a problem for the devs.

Football manager seems to have a good balance of system specs, manager games are not normally that demanding.

Looks like my i5 2nd gen, 1gb gt525m 8gb laptop is nowhere near powerful enough, I'm sure most people have powerful gaming pc,s these days, but I think a lot of people will be put off with these specs, me included.

I don't understand people whining over this...I refer to my post in FAQ thread. Time to get a better pc then... wouldn't expect any modern game to work with some lame integrated gfx card...

I'm not questioning about my laptop cannot run F1 2016... I just pointing out that F1 2013 on my laptop runs fine but a F1 *manager* simulator won't, I find that ridiculous.

A manager game does very very much calculations in the background, thats why a strong CPU is recommended. Play EAs Football Manager to see what will happen, if you have a CPU with not enough power and a system with only 4 Gigs RAM. If you want to play games on a laptop, you should get one, which is designed for that, so sorry i am, but that's the truth. The specs needed for this, are not even high, things recommended for it are more than five years old, which is a decade in IT. So you need to upgrade, or play other games.

spec too high why! alot of ppl only game on a laptop is FM so woulndt need top spec and it doesnt need to be so high lower it or 20% of your fanbase will leave

I have watched some of the youtube video's of this game and been alpha build i didn't take the resaults to serious while many claimed its to easy etc etc. The game even then looked good so i expected the specs would be higher than expected for a game of its type.

In all fairness anyone saying they can run F1 2013 on their laptops are obviously living in the past. Later titles most likely run much worse if at all on those laptops, and i could so easily say the same for past games but we live in a new age where developers are trying to push the bounderies. The last great manager game for F1 was F1 world GP which was released in 1999 i think.

Since then we have had the likes of Poleposition (i think we had 2 of those) and Racing Team Manager and they was very bad. So if this F1 manager lives up to expectations then so what that the specs are higher than expected, so what that the game can't run on your 3+ year old laptop.Sorry to say that any manufacture who claims their newly released laptop is a gaming laptop is only after your money.

The specs can be really nice, in fact some laptops can play some very good games but in the end they all suffer the same thing. They all run far to hot and its not like there are no limits on what you can upgrade a laptop. Its like buying a console every 4 to 6 years so you can play the latest games. I would rather upgrade my desktop as and when needed it costs far less and runs much more smoothly.

BTW i can run F1 2016 on my desktop with all settings maxed out and its older than a 2013 laptop.

Love how people seem to think this game should be able to run on a laptop just because its a management game. Welcome to 2017 (almost)

[Neemulus]

ah nuts... is there no way to turn down the graphics... I was hoping to run this on a surface pro... :( I suppose it means that the game is going to look good and calculate realistically but I rarely get time at home to play games on my decent desktop... I was hoping I could get a few races in whilst travelling... I can play fallout 3 on it - why not this? sad face emoji...

They are too high :| ... but this fact will be against developers, because the game will do less sales.

I am no fan of laptop gaming I even say to people laptops are not really for proper gaming (even ones which claim they are) but you have to look at by a spec basis not just say laptops are not good enough.

The listed specs are still too high.

6gb ram that is high even for modern games if you look at games released over past 2 years most state 4gb not 6gb these are games that have far more going on then this game does.

GPU again I know the cards listed are years old but that doesn't matter they are fairly powerful cards and I have seen nothing which would justify such beafy cards (if these cards listed was the laptop mobile versions I would understand it but these are proper desktop ones)

CPU I understand having fairly high requirement but again it's well over the top a quad core going back to the Intel Q ones should be fine this is why I still say this is no way requirement.

The last thing this studio does not have a lot of experience and I expect it is a very small team with a small budget this could be why we do not have much information they will be using this game as there first one to learn improving as they go along if there is a market for it.

So it's worth picking the game up and trying it to see how it goes if it doesn't run well on your system then get a refund but be realistic do not expect it to run on a very low spec laptop (PC are not that expensive £500 system would play this easily or even go for second hand market for parts rather then clinging to cheap laptops)

Jesus christ ffs... those requirements are recommended not minimum, so just calm your tits and get of your period

[FixMeNow]

I disagree on people who are banging on about because the specs are too high it wont sell.

If the game is good it will sell.

So doesn't mean they are not still high.

Very mature are you sure you meet the age rating to play this game mentally it appears not.

Disagree

As you can see from posts/comments the type of people interested are not in to spending out money for PC they game either casual or want to play on laptops the FM crowd are the same so if the requirements are high this will ut them off.

As history shows good games are not always the top sellers and what hurts this game is no licensing which gives extra promotion itself to that target audience.

"As history shows good games are not always the top sellers and what hurts this game is no licensing which gives extra promotion itself to that target audience."

So, you pay pay the double price just for a license? Wait a few weeks, there will be the first mods with real names, sponsors etc., that is no point which would hurt the game - history showd this.

[Cavalier Roy]

History has shown that if people will upgrade if they need to. Its not like they are only upgrading for this game but any future games that may come out. Most peoples computers today can easily match the requirements for this game, those with laptops maybe not but then laptops are not meant for gaming. They was never designed with gaming in mind, the only people complaining are those who will use laptops. I'm an FM player and i use a desktop, not all FM fans use laptops so pointless using those in your arguement and try turning every single country on and selecting all the divisions then tell me your laptop can run it because mine can't without taking forever to advance to the next day.

GTX 660 is over 4 years old midfield graphics card, 6gb was okay for that time aswell..

I was going to post something similar, How the hell is a 4 year old GTX660 High for system spec. You can pick them up for the same price as this game.

If the recommended spec was GTX 960 i could see where people were coming from.

[morph113]

Yeah I agree that a 4 year old system as recommended system spec is certainly anything but high. Even if it is a management game. What do you expect, to be able to play it on maximum graphic settings on a 10 year old machine? I'm fairly certain you can run the game on 10 year old laptops but not on maximum graphic settings, that's what the recommended specs are for.
