Wolfenstein Minimum Specs Revealed

Next news
6:50 PM - July 1, 2009 by Kevin Parrish

The minimum specifications for the upcoming PC version of Wolfenstein appeared on the official forums.

Yesterday id Software's Peter Sokai revealed the minimum system requirements for the upcoming PC version of Wolfenstein. According to his forum post, fans will need an Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz or an AMD Athlon 64 3400+ processor, 1 GB RAM, and a 256 MB Nvidia GeForce 6800 GT or ATI Radeon X800 graphics card. In addition to a required HDD space of 8 GB (plus an additional 800 MB for the Windows swap file), the minimum requirements call for Windows XP or Windows Vista, DirectX 9.0c, a DVD-ROM, a 100-percent DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card, and a broadband connection for the multiplayer portion.

In other Wolfenstein-related news, MTV Multiplayer is reporting that the single-player campaign will feature 1,638.4 Nazi deaths. According to the blog, the game tracks how many Nazis gamers actually kill via the Statistics section. The high number was calculated based on a screenshot provided by Activision, depicting an overall 36-percent progress and 639 Nazi deaths. 'I was able to determine that, upon reaching 100-percent completion, you’ll have killed exactly 1,638.4 Nazis in a variety of ways,' Frushtick wrote. 'Granted this doesn’t factor in replaying missions (which is almost certainly required to get to 100-percent completion) but hey, math isn’t an exact science!'

Currently Wolfenstein is slated for an August 4, 2009 release. Developed for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 by Raven Software, the game uses a heavily modified version of id Software's id Tech 4, the engine used in Doom 3 and Quake 4. The multiplayer aspect is in development over at Endrant Studios, and is expected to be similar to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

Guess my back PC (athlon 3000 with 1950GT) is officially outdated and can't hack this. Well, I'll try it anyway even if I have to overclock the CPU again to play on low :D. It will be interesting to see what Ravensoft has done with Wolfenstien.

Mavroxur:
It probably won't be needing a GTX 260 or higher at all, since it is based on the really old id Tech 4 engine. Yes, modified, but still not a complete overhaul. I'm guessing that the old trusty 8800 GT will be sufficient enough to play it at 1920*1200, maxed out!

This doesn't seem like anything surprising. Pentium 4s and 256MB graphics have been the minimum for a lot of games in the past year.

Those are MINIMUM requirements BTW.You can bet if you want to play it all nice and shiny you'll probably need a Quad-Core CPU and at LEAST a GTX 260 or higher video card.



GTX260 for the DoomIII engine? LMAO.

You sir, are an idiot.

No mention of Linux, looks like it could be another game i'll never buy or play.

Every other id tech game has been thrown on linux; I bet this one will be too.

If not, a good use of WINE only drops fps 5-10% anyway. =]

that assumes that there are the same amount of nazies in the start of the game and at the end. Most games throw more guys at you at the end because you have the kick ass weapons.

joex444 :
Now, to be fair, that 36% figure is the product of rounding. We can only say with certainty it is between 35.5% and 36.5%. Taking this into account, we can say with absolute certainty that the game features no less than 1750 Nazis and no more than 1800, with an expected average of 1775 Nazi deaths upon completion.


I like you math!

3.2 GHz is asking too much. I only has a 2.4Ghz Quad core.. guess it is useless though.


read the class of the CPU ffs ...not only the MHz, the days were you only read the MHz are long gone.

I won't be buying Wolfenstein. Although I really do like killing Nazi's...
