Brink PC Gets Steamworks, System Requirements
What part of ‘you’re game WILL NOT SELL, if your minimum requirements are higher than what most people have at home’ don’t developers get? Is it that hard to realize that? Same mistake when Crysis 1 was released, 1% of the population could actually play it properly, and yet, it’s still piracy’s fault the game didn’t sell.
IT DIDN’T SELL BECAUSE IT WASN’T RUNNING ON ANYTHING!!!

52% 2 CPUs
37% 4 CPUs
29% 2.3GHz - 2.69 GHz

Nice going SplashDamage. And in case you are betting on people buying your game two years from now when they’ll meet your recommended specs, what the hell are you guys smoking?
Look at every game Blizzard made, it ran even on obsolete hardware. Why the hell do you think they bothered? To cover as much hardware as possible to be sure that people wouldn’t buy their game for one reason alone, they didn’t liked it, not because they couldn’t play it.
That’s cause Warcraft 3 sucked. Sorry, guys, but despite Warcraft 3’s desperate attempts to convince you it was a good game, it has very nearly no competitive community, with only 1 celebrity player that I can think of (Moon).
those stats say that the majority of Steam users can run the game fine and specs are close to BLOPS requirements and even Crysis 2 is close, pretty standard these days
I see no reason to complain about minimum specs, 8800 was released ~5 years ago, its time for it to become minimum requirements… I mean look at metro 2033 
I ran it at work on a Dual Core 2GHz (not Dual Core 2 Duo) with a 6800 GPU and 1 GB RAM, you have something worse than this?
I have a mid-line 08 laptop, and not a gaming laptop at that.
It’s… well, it’s not a gaming machine.
What part of the CPU is the problem don’t you people get?
Really? when most people are below minimum, you say it will run fine?
Well, 260 is a direct descendant of higher-spec 8800.
CPU baaawwww is pointless until there is an actual game on different machines to draw a real world comparison.
I’ve completed 1st crysis on pentium 4 3.6Ghz single core and 6600gt, 1Gb ram without any problems (on low naturally), so if you have something worse than that then its time to upgrade.

Yea right, because the graphics card is doing all the hard work.
In modern games, graphics card is suppose to do most of the work, even physics calculations sometimes…
Oh well, glad I didn’t pre purchased it. Hope I’m wrong though, but the way I see it, there will be allot of performance complaints on these forums after release.

8800 lineage (G92/G92+) stopped at the GTS250. The GTX260 is a whole different card (GT200).
LOL, you should have seen crysis 2 steam forums - people were raging that they could easily max it out with 60-120 fps 
I never said you was anti-PC, my point was simply that the positives of the PC experience far outweighed the negative ones mentioned in this thread and to which you expressed gladness for not having to deal with.
To get back on topic, is SD going to support the Steam “Big Picture” mode for Brink?
To what extent is Steam Cloud support? Just character progress and loadouts or will cfg files in certain folders also sync?
Cough, patching schedules?
