Real Left 4 Dead Specs Revealed

Blake "broodax" Corner September 29th, 2008 at 8:20 PM

Recently, we revealed what were rumored to the specs for Left 4 Dead. However, the real specs have been recently revealed. HalfLife2.net has posted the specs, taking them from the box itself. Unfortunately, the real specs require a better computer than the rumored ones. The game will require a more powerful CPU to fun it; either a "3.0 Ghz P4, Dual Core 2.0, or AMD64X2 (or higher)." Full specs after the jump.

 

OS: Windows Vista, XP or 2000

CPU: 3.0 GHz P4, Dual Core 2.0 or AMD64X2 (or higher)

RAM: 1 GB for XP / 2GB for Vista

DISC DRIVE: DVD-ROM Drive

HARD DRIVE: At least 7.5 GB of free space

VIDEO: Direct X 9 compatible video card (Video card must be 256 MB or more and should be a DirectX 9-compatible with support for pixel shader 2.0)

SOUND: Direct X9.0c compatible sound card

 

This might be a bit of a bummer for PC gamers, since the specs are much higher than predicted. This will likely push many gamers to the 360 version, though it is a shame that fewer PC gamers will be able to enjoy the game. Any PC gamers out there going to be forced to go 360 or bust?

that puts me in the 360-only bracket.

Ouch. That is a crazy jump from the rumors. I am still going to be "OK", but I was hoping to see people I know on the PC. This will turn many to the 360 for sure.

Just bring on some sort of beta already

Man I don't just want to run this game. I want to "fun" it. It must look amazing when funning at top speed. p

Ok I'll stop.

yay! time to upgrade! I can finally retire my magic pc that survived Far Cry on Medium, Crysis on low, Mass Effect (even though I was technically below the minimum reqs), Doom 3, Half Life 2, TF2 and STALAKER.

You will be missed good sir, but your hot, younger sister will be totally sweet.

Even God is please he will not have to upgrade to play Left 4 Dead.

I'll most likely be playing this on the 360 since that's where most of my friends are, but it's good to see that the specs aren't too ridiculous. I think my rig could probably run this.

What ever happened to "if you can run Orange Box, you can run L4D?" I can't afford an upgrade right now.

I've got an Athlon64 3000+ and a Geforce 7600. I hope it's adequate... I don't have XBox Live.

I'll buy the 360 version, but I plan to get the PC once I graduate and get paid. Also, that depends on how good the mods are.

Being that its a new game from Valve and will probably have stellar mods I have to get it on the PC. Unfortunately, most of my friends will be playing on the 360, so I'll have to get this one as well. At least I'll get the best of both worlds this way.

if it's like the 360 version, I think you can make a custom game mode with infinite respawns.

No you CAN play it by yourself, but the FUN is playing WITH others not AGAINST others.
