6 years? Even as a joke that makes no sense. It was just recent that PCs got the 8 GB standard and Quad core.

6 Years ago the first i7 came out and not long before that the first intel/Amd Quad core (duo and phenom X4).

Also I had 6 GB in my gaming maching up until 2 months ago.

No PC game needs more than 4 GB of ram. Not evne Crysis 3, BF 4 or the super unoptimized crap out even now...other than Call of duty Ghosts which needed ridiculous requirments (which was fixed).

Even then the game ran like crap.

Also 64 is still NOT required by most games...no developer properly takes advantage of the architecture anyways...most of the time when you install games they end up being installed as 32 bit processes.

Anyways.

On topic...most likely this is a straight console port. Which makes me wonder if people with threads have an advantage here (which basically means 4 core + 4 threads is like 8 cores but not really...just means 2 executions per core).

Sounds like you didn't read the requirements since it only takes a 6 year old PC to run the game. It doesn't take 8gb to run the game it only takes 4gb. So of course my statement stands.

"6 years? Even as a joke that makes no sense."

Maybe if you actually read articles instead of just reading the article titles and commenting it'd make more sense to you. Being n4g though I can't say I'm surprised.

@Sorane

We're not speaking about minimal requirements which in some games they consider minimal requirements even less than 30 fps and tearing.

The user's comment is still 100% valid, the game is unoptimized.

It's Fifa, it's not like their are explosions or massive destruction calculations or insane effects....

It's a field with players and audience. I see no reason why this game can't look good, play great and run on less demanding hardware.

I'm 100% sure at minimum requirements no1 will enjoy the game play of this game.

Especially EA..
