DOA5LR PC Spec are here, it ain't pretty

[31gma]

Overall, I'm disappointed with the lack of next-gen features for a $40 game in comparison to the 360/PS3's $30 counterpart. My hope is that once online is officially released, TN will implement the next-gen features but that's a tad too late considering the outrage amongst the community. Hopefully they will listen to the PC community if the complaints are loud enough in social media.

I'm putting the blame mainly on Koei Tecmo for this one. Their track record with DW8 is putrid thus far.

For anyone worried about the CPU spec. That i7 870 is a very very old i7 lol

Pretty gimped release but IF the modding community is strong for this game, the missing Ps4 features won't even matter.

Good point actually. I just noticed that my current i5 has better benchmark results as this i7 from 2009.

 

[GrapeInfernal]

Now, how will they explain/justify the missing stages and advanced graphical effects on PC...? o _ O

Console exclusive!

Console exclusive!

Well if that's true then the calls to ban DZ and Crimson just received a hell of a lot more legitimacy in my book.

I like how TN tells people to play the game respectfully with no mods, delays the release of the game to give us "the best" possible experience, yet in the end, all we're getting is a lazy inferior port. So this tells me their "memory" excuse for why the new stages not appearing on PS3/Xbox 360 is BS cause there's no way PC can't handle all of that. Hory shet man. This sure is the "Last Round" for TN. So much shit's been going on lately. Data corruption/DLC not transferring, Xbox one glitches, soft ban, Europe getting shafted, and now this shit. This sure has been one hell of a year for TN.

I went and counted the stages and variations without DZ and Crimson and I came out with 34 "stages". It would have been 37 had I included them so I wonder if its a typo/miscommunication.

 

[31gma]

Even this is making the headlines on PCGamer. I'm fine with more exposure to this as it'll force Koei Tecmo to respond.

 

[GrapeInfernal]

Are there stages that share similarities with them?

I mean, who didn't love that lovely sunny evening breeze on Crimson's rooftop and then falling down to lively street with cool shops and cars?

waaaaah

 

[Dark_Ky]

That's it I am done. Not gonna buy LR on PC either.

For those unaware of CPU & GPU performances, go to cpubenchmark.net
Compare your CPU Mark Rating with the minimum requirements. If it's above 5,488 you should be good to go.

Mine says my performance test rating is 1603... -_-

Good thing I have the PS4 version. When I'll get to actually play it is another story. :/

 

[NightAntilli]

Mine is over 9000 (no DBZ reference intended), so I'm good to go. My graphics card is not the best though... It'll meet minimum specs, but not the recommended specs. I'll see how I can tweak the settings... I at least hope they added more adjustments than just resolution, AA and shadow settings...

 

[Fiend Busa]

you can always overclock your GPU

 

[Kronin]

My new pc is almost ready (I just need to get a graphic card from a friend that already bought a new one because upgrading his computer too), but knowing that I'm going to play a version of the game not on par on the PS4/Xbox One my hype is not so high... at least not for today =(

About the requirements of the cpu, remember always to take notice of the processor basics (number of - effective - cores and frequency in hertz): not be tricked from the name of the model, an i7 hasn't to be necessarily better of an i5. The same reasoning is even more true for the graphic card, where a most recent one can be much worse of an older one if the first is part of a low level series and the second is more close to the top of its generation.

 

[Raansu]

I'm still not understanding the online issue and why they can't have it available at launch and how they came up with a 3 month window for a patch?

Already done. My HD6850 is running at 911/1051 rather than 775/1000. I'll just have to wait and see how it performs in practice. It should be sort of closer to a stock GTX 750 Ti in performance, but we'll see. I really want a new graphics card... But I'm waiting till next year when the 20nm/14nm cards will be released. Plus I want to make sure that the next card I get is fully compliant with DX12_1.

390x is coming April with full 12.1 support

Yeah... But I don't want (and am unable) to pay $700 for a graphics card lol, plus it's stil 28nm.

 

[Fiend Busa]

I heard it going to be around 500-600, still a lot though but yeah xD

 

[NightAntilli]

I'd pay at most $350 for a graphics card. Preferably, I'd stick around the $200.

Anyway, going back to DOA5LR on PC, I hope they patch in the additional stages also. It's as if they took the Arcade version of the game and tried updating it for release on the PC.
