Some developers of computer games are very fond of additionally profit from the fruits of their own labor. It would seem that if you had a successful project - why not put all efforts into it, develop it, make it all the more impressive and attractive. Other game creators do just that. But some, apparently, do not come to the industry in order to bring something new into it and delight users with masterpiece releases. No matter how commonplace they are in this business for the sake of money. Unfortunately, ordinary gamers suffer because of this, who donate considerable sums to see a new part of their favorite game, and as a result receive the same project wrapped in a brighter package. This happened in the case of Crysis 3 - the final episode of the trilogy is not much different from the previous one, although the developers promised a lot. Naturally, the system requirements for Crises 3 have not really increased , which will be discussed later.
operating system
The fact that the last two games of the series are not very different from each other, primarily confirmed the requirements that developers put forward to users' computers. In the case of Crises 3, the system requirements weren’t the most impressive, but in order to splurge, the developers took a tricky move - they added maximum, which set the highest standard for your computer, to the standard minimum and recommended requirements. Naturally, this did not affect the operating system - in any case, you will have to have Windows Vista, 7 or 8, if you want to run this project. Owners of XP, as in many other cases with modern games, remain out of work. However, what was the effect of this innovation in Crises 3? System requirements for the processor, RAM, and video cards will most clearly demonstrate this.
CPU
In Crises 3, system requirements might have surprised even five years ago, but now they’re not scaring anyone. Especially when it comes to the processor, because developers require only two cores from you, both in the case of the minimum and recommended requirements. The only difference is the maximum requirements for the processor, because in this case you need to have at least four cores.
However, if you look at those games that came out in parallel with the third part of the series, you can see that the requirements are not too high. And if you recall the output of the first part, which made so much noise? After all, then the visual component of the game was really amazing and inimitable. Now this is just a repetition of the past. Naturally, for Crisis 3, the system requirements of the PC version are artificially high, but on the consoles it is very noticeable that the developers were not in a hurry to progress.
RAM
RAM is the only indicator that can impress among the rest in Crisis 3. The minimum system requirements in this case are 2 GB of RAM, which is about average, but the recommended requirements are already increasing to 4 GB, and the maximum, respectively, to eight . However, it has not yet been confirmed that these eight "gigs" are really needed in order to run the game at maximum settings.
Video card
In the case of Crisis 3, the ultra-mode system requirements are even more suspicious if you look at which video card they need. Given the impressive graphic scope of the second part, many gamers were waiting for something unbelievable. But as a result, one glance at the requirements makes it clear that you will not see anything supernatural. The minimum and recommended requirements are at the same mark of 1 GB of video memory, and the maximum requirements rise to the level of 2 GB. And this despite the fact that the game is declared as a visual masterpiece.
But modern games, even without such daring claims, already require 3-4 GB of video memory. And the matter is not only in numbers - in fact, the game also does not look much better than the previous episode. Unfortunately, gamers pay more for an addon to Crysis 2, and not for a full-fledged project, and this addon costs much more than the second part of the game itself.
release date
The game looks quite fresh just because it was released relatively recently. The initial release on all platforms came out in the United States, and it happened February 19, 2013. Other releases almost immediately followed - first on the Russian market on February 21, and then the next day in the European Union. As a result, the whole process took only four days, the game sold a huge circulation, however, there were much less positive reviews than negative ones. Naturally, the game itself looks great, and if it were an independent project, it would definitely get the best reviews. But this, unfortunately, is a continuation of a successful project, which stands still, while developers pump huge amounts out of their success. Absolutely, by the way, not earned by them.
