Outlast - system requirements: recommended and minimum

For a long time already minds of all world gamers did not exciteterrible horror, capable of causing both a desire to play it and a desire to quickly close. Game Outlast, the system requirements of which will be described below, managed to achieve the above criteria, becoming the object of numerous jokes about his horrendous plot.

Good horrors require respect

And the plot is as follows: the journalist goes to a psychiatric hospital in the state of Colorado, in order to find out whether the rumors about the experiments conducted there on people are true. The show was not at all pleasant. The horrors of this clinic will be presented as much as possible, be sure. However, we will not disclose all the cards, it is better to consider the requirements for the game, which she exposes to those who wish to play it. However, we must first note the excellent combination of requirements with most computers, which, unlike many modern games, will give the player the opportunity to fully or almost fully enjoy all the horrors that are hidden in the game. The requirements of the game Outlast came out very sparing for 2013, if compared with the rest. It can "go" even on very old computer models.

Outlast: minimum system requirements

Now consider what gamers with weakcomputers are most closely watched - the minimum necessary system requirements, with which the game will be launched. Immediately I want to give hope to those who did not even get into these parameters. The requirements of most games are in fact often "drawn by the ears". This observation applies even to Outlast, whose system requirements were also slightly overstated. So dare, every computer is able to surprise with their desire to allow the player to immerse themselves in the gameplay.

However, only official minimumrequirements. Outlast will play on most OSes from the Windows family: it's XP, and the familiar Vista, as well as all the popular OSes with numbers 7 and 8.

If there are any problems with the startup, the problemresolves to change the compatibility mode in the launch settings. The minimum processor is Intel Core 2 Duo (2.2 Ghz), as well as the popular AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+. The amount of minimum RAM was 2 Gb, which is also not very much. On the hard drive of your computer the game will take up a small 5 Gb. Video memory is required 512 Mb, and the video cards are subject to the following requirements: ATI Radeon HD 4870 or GeForce 9800. Well, and without them - the keyboard and mouse are mandatory to fully satisfy Outlast system requirements.

Recommendations

Fans also enjoy the graphics in games morewill take a close look at this section. Many players, after going through the game, very unflatteringly say that most of the system resources of the computer "go into oblivion", not substantially raising the level of graphics several orders in advance, but the improvements are, of course, noticeable. In general, for the horror, the details and careful emphasis on them, as well as their drawing and truthfulness, are of particular importance, causing genuine admiration among the players and allowing them to fully enjoy all the proposed atmospheric conditions.

In terms of the operating system, nothing will changeit should have been, which is confirmed - all the same family of long-remembered Windows operating systems, as before. To processors, however, there were more serious demands - to work on high parameters you will need Intel Core 2 Quad 2.9 Ghz, in another case - AMD Phenom II X4 3.2 Ghz. The amount of RAM was raised to 3 Gb. The video memory is already requested as much as 1 Gb, the following requests to the video card - the GeForce GTX 460, as well as the popular ATI Radeon HD 6850. Of course, the minimum, and maximum, and any requirements include a sound card that is perfectly compatible with the familiar DirectX: 9.0c and DirectX.

System requirements for Outlast: Whistleblower

After about six months, the Canadian studioRed Barrels produces the so-called interquel of such a successful project - Outlast: Whistleblower. The place of action of the game process is the same infamous psychiatric hospital "Mount Massiv". Now the "camera" will be in the hands of another character who visited the hospital some time earlier and, in fact, became the reason for the arrival of the protagonist of the first part.

Time passes, and with it, progress comes into play. The game acquired another game engine - the Unreal Engine version 3 was replaced by the eponymous engine of the new generation Unreal Engine version 3.5. The stated minimum requirements were the same parameters as the previous part of Outlast. This includes a 2.2 GHz Dual Core CPU and the necessary RAM, which has excellent performance, 2 GB of "weight", and a 512 MB ATI Radeon HD 3xx video card or NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX. Free space is now the game on your hard drive already requests 8 gigabytes.

At the mention of the game engine arisesgenuine desire to say about the promotion. The game has become more spectacular, so to speak, new contrasts have been added. The color range of the game also does not make him not appreciate. Errors in the game plan were corrected. In general, the 2013 Outlast system requirements, compared with the 2014 receiver, have changed not so drastically, but still an experienced eye can always see the difference.

Trailers - the problem of most modern games

It’s definitely not a secret is globalThe universal problem of all gaming studios that develop computer games is the discrepancy between the game trailers and the real game. This problem is easily explained, one has only to think about the economic benefit for the company - it is much safer and more appropriate for it to create around its "offspring" areola of perfection, a curtain of a higher level of graphics, of detail than its counterparts in the industry. However, some companies decide on a more serious step - they represent part of the gameplay as a trailer. Of course, adding additional graphics. But still this step is much more positively met by gaming fans.

Trailer - the best advertisement.

Outlast, whose system requirements weredisassembled above, decided to like. Well, we can undoubtedly conclude that it is the same game, the trailer of which almost fully met the expectations of gamers. Atmospheric, entertaining, if you can say, the epic of the gameplay - it was all completely transmitted in the video. It was also seen in the game.
