oh haha my bad, maybe 20-40gbs

Yeah it was the 140GB that made me go WTF?!?

Even assuming massive Blu-Ray PC penetration you're still looking at three discs, and DVD9 would be undoable lol.

We will find out in 2015.......damn you Blizzard......give me StarCraft2 already.

blizzard already said in an interview that diablo 3 will be able to run on a pc that can run WoW

THIS  i would do if i wanted to reduce my target consumer base to 3% of the possible maximum.

OFC 4gb ram are only 400€ or so but not everybody who owns a PC is aware of this or does need it or can do it by himself.

Have you seen one single trailer of this game? The characters have maximum 200 polys ingame and have textured eyes. There are no normal maps (or at least very rare, i've seen any) or any other fancy stuff, all effects are handeled by texture animations and no particle effects. 

I can remember that blizzard said it's a modificated starcraft 2 engine.

20gb is probably right.(Fancy FMV ftw.)

Woah buddy take it easy.

I pray your joking 6-8gb ram to play Diablo 3? LOL.. I PRAY your joking.

Have you not remembered that Blizzard said they are trying to make the game user friendly? So people with updated computers can play? And that you don't need a super computer to play it?

You think the average person has a Quad Core Processor and 6-8GB ram?... Dude, I don't think so.

Let's face it, Blizzard makes sure you can play their games on a toaster if you wanted to.

Dawn of war2 requirements is my bet.

 

theprof00 doens't now anything about PC hardware, he used a recommended higher than crysis warhead recommended for a blizzard isometric diablo game. LOL

His optimal specs is a laugh...

look at the sc2 optimal reqs:

Optimal Requirements
GFX: Geforce 9000er or Radeon 3000er Series
CPU: Core 2 Duo 3 GHz or Athlon X2
RAM: 2GB with DualChannel mode

matched matches my recommended card
matches my recommended processor
is 2 gb less than my recommended ram

factoring in vista, and you're going to need 4. At least I think so.
Try to remember that this game will be 1-2 years after sc2. Yes, they said they would shoot for 2010, but keep in mind what happened to sc2.

Also, I did make a mistake there, I should have said MAX rather than optimal. Optimal reqs are always a joke. Crysis said optimal was 1GB, sure thing buddy.

I don't look up system reqs much so you'll have to excuse me using improper wording. All I know is what I feel will run, based on my experience with my own hardware and game playability, of course, I'm not professional like some of you, so you'll have to excuse me when I think there should be more RAM. To me, RAM solves almost all problems. So, here is the original corrected for the lingo:

theprof00 said: I'm guessing it's going to require: Optimal performance: Max settings: a current high end dx10 video card, 6-8 GB ram Quad core processor or i7 140GB 20-40 GBs recommended Optimal: 4 GB ram Dual core processor maybe something slightly better than a 512 9800XT 140GB 20-40GBs

I might add that recommended will probably be far lower, but then again, I wouldn't recommend "recommended" reqs either. I have Optimal specs for Empire Total War and lots of other games and the shit crawls. Waiting like 30-45 seconds to load a battle is lame.

I'll mention that I have a rig with 4GB, a core 2 duo, a 256 9800 ATI and RAID for my games. Maybe I'm just a snob when it comes to performance?
