I have just read in PC Gamer that this game (due out Jan 2003) would need a minimum processor of 1.4ghz !
This takes the pee, has the world gone mad, surely this would rule out 50% of gamers immediately ?
The game looks excellent by the way :)

Strange, I got Thief 2 a couple of months back, and played the first two levels, but haven't touched it since. I should start playing it again sometime.

Just as I suspected. It looks alright and I may give it a try sometime, probably when it's on budget, but the trouble I always have with stealth games is they hardly ever keep my attension for longer than a week, if that.

The exception being of course, Theif 2 which is perhaps one of, if not the best stealth em up game I have ever played.

You need the same kinda spec for GTA3 apparantly.

Just poor coding to get it ported from the consoles as quick as possible. Looks poo anyway

1.4Ghz?!?!

If a game can't be run on an 866, then it hasn't been coded properly.

I've got the US XBox version and I reckon it's over-rated personally. Bored the pants off of me. It's quite a linear experience. Doesn't look all *that* good either IMO. Not a Metal Gear 2 beater either IMO.

Obviously meant for a top of the range PC, not that I'm bothered, the game looks mind numbingly boring. No action at all I read somewhere, just sneaking about peeking through doors and rolling past people. Where the fun in that eh?
