Max Payne 3 PC specs, preorder bonuses revealed

Gotta love that bullet time play.

"We're not sure if the specs are minimum/recommended or what..."

Looks like it includes both minimum and recommended, and yea, those are beefy.
You would think preordering would get you some kind of monetary discount, I mean, people (including myself in the past) are taking a risk buying a game based on trailers and curiosity.

Hard time with the 16GB RAM? What about the 3930K, HD 7970, and GTX 680 at ~$500 a piece!

"Free copy of Max Payne 1 and 2 now plus launch DLC including eight playable multiplayer characters from the original titles, a multiplayer weapon pack with the hammerhead auto shotgun, G9 grenade launcher and molotov cocktail, the ability to carry extra painkillers in multiplayer, and a retro Max Payne multiplayer avatar."

Not buying it, sorry Rockstar.... launch DLC is an easy way to get yourself boycotted.

Those are not terribly impressive bonuses as EB Games in Australia has the following package (with statue, keyring, soundtrack and art prints): http://ebgames.com.au/pc-156197-Max-Payne-3-Special-Edition-PC\


Plus I already own the first games…

This game suffers from some serious memory leaks xD

That is very closed-minded of you. Games are costing more and more money to create and yet people are expecting the price to remain the same or lower.

By Goddy. I'm surprised about the RAM and HDD requirements. I was thinking about the same if GTA V comes out. It could be more than that..

2-16GB RAM i think this is an excercise to make pc gamers think that the game will be something it isn't a technological marvel in game development, it is good marketing though i recall another game some years ago that had reccomended requirment of RAM at a similiar spec and even on tripple screen with everything on it never used a third of the so called "reccomended" RAM..

But these days bigger is better right...

Games are also WAAAAY shorter, half the content is cut out of the game to be sold to you piecemeal as DLCs. Yeah, games are costing "about" the same as they did 20 years ago, they were around 40-50 per title, but IMO you got much more bang for your buck with those games then you did with these. And don't get me started on me paying for the privilige to beta test the games, and spend hours pounding my monitor because the game is crashing, or some other BS typical with buying games on release.

Well considering this is a going to be a 32-bit game there is no way in hell its going to be able to use that much RAM in the first place. I don't know whats up with those specs tho, they are pretty confusing.. To me, it just looks like a range, notice how every part in the upper range, is the highest component that is out for each manufacturer. They should have just stated the more common "XXXX ---- or higher"

--But then again, this game is from Rockstar, you know, the game devs that are notorious for making the most shitty PC port ever... GTA IV .... You might actually need those high end specs to run this game

Sure, 16GB of RAM is relatively cheap, but I don't believe that was Matthew's point. 16GB of RAM for any current game is an absurd amount in just sheer quantity.

In fact, 16GB is so far over what anything else requires, it must either be a 1.) mistake, 2.) there's an alternate explanation (ie. max tested) or 3.) they have some serious touching up to do to RAGE and Euphoria engines.

What's up with the specs? One user tried to suggest that it's try to trick user into thinking the game will be intensive, but you'd have to be an ***** to believe that, so I doubt it. This really sounds more like a gemmic to market enthusiast-level PCs.

have to call generic on the pc specs,

plus the dlc is just multiplayer bumfluff,

I'd have to agree that a $60 price tag is way too much for a video game. I have nothing against paying a premium. But, as is too often the case when you make an early purchase nowadays, you discover that the game you bought in a right hurry still needs a fair amount of patching before it yields any sort of proper gameplay.

The graphics do look impressive. But I'll wait this one out. Hopefully, by the time all the important patches have been issued and all the annoying performance issues are resolved, prices would have already started to go down.

Points 1, 2 and 3 can also be said for the recommended CPU and GPU requirements.
