Eeks, I figured I would be ok specs wise. The recommended specs are pretty crazy. That is either a really good thing, or a really bad thing. I'm guessing bad
How can this game require a 780 / 290X? The graphics are... not very good. I mean, the minimum system requirements are pretty much on par with GTA V's recommended system requirements!

1. System requirements anymore that game publishers put out are almost always pure fantasy and in no way really accurate.
2. This is one of the reasons no one tries to push the limit on PC graphics in games anymore. If a game isn't able to run on someone's potato system then it automatically is an "unoptimised piece of crap." If a game doesn't have "Crysis" somewhere in the title it better not try to push it at all or everyone plays the unoptimised card.
3. It's going to be a huge open world with (from what little I've seen from promotional footage) pretty awesome looking graphics, I could see it needing some horsepower. And really, the "required" specs aren't that high at all.

Mate, no one's opposed to pushing the limit. This, however, is not pushing the limit. The graphics are... average. It requiring a 290X is absurd. That's the point you and others are missing.
Yeah, looks like the game will be an unoptimized pile of junk.
The requirements are absurd. I'm fine with high CPU requirements if the game will actually put it to good use, but the GPU requirements point to the game being crap.
Yes yes, the specs might be high. But you all forget one thing: They've only showed the Xbox One gameplay, NO ONE except Bethesda knows how the PC version looks like. Bethesda always showcases their games on the Xbox. Oblivion was shown on the Xbox 360, Fallout 3 was shown on the Xbox 360, Skyrim was shown on the Xbox 360, and never showed the PC gameplay before launch.
From the first moment they've showed the Reveal Trailer to the E3 gameplays, you can clearly see from its footage from consoles. Why? Because of low quality textures, typical console jaggies around the objects (lack of anti aliasing or a low quality one).

The 290x was under recommended, not requirement. The requirement had a freaking 550ti (and 7870 from AMD, but publishers tend to do that also, like none of them know anything about AMD GPUs, LOL). The recommended specs are always overblown anymore, I don't understand why everyone freaks out in these threads. My son's PC has an i3-2100 and a 7870, I'm not anticipating him having any trouble running this game.
Exactly. I still have my 7950 I bought for $300 and my wife was none to happy about that lol. No way would I spend $700 just for a graphics card, I have much better things to spend my money on, and being an average full-time job American, my disposable income is pretty limited as is.
I'm sure this game will run just fine on most modern systems, lag in some firefights probably, but fine overall.
Who said anything about hardware making someone a second class citizen?
If this game would of came out with specs that recommended lower end hardware, but, on that hardware you could only expect medium settings how does that make a difference?
I upgraded from a 780 and can say that thing started feeling old a while back. It also wasn't pulling max settings @ 1080p (steady 60+) in newer games.
Every time system recommendations for a game comes out these threads are full of one of two things: If the recommendations are low then it's "Lazy game companies selling out to consoles and won't push our high powered PC component" or, if the requirements are high it's "lazy game companies won't optimize their console port for PC".

Has anyone here actually played this game ? do you have access to some beta or something ?
If not than you have no idea if the requirements are justifiable or not so stop crying !
GTX780 isn't all that and than some by today's standards time flies you know.
