Bulletstorm System Requirements Revealed

System requirements for the PC version of Bulletstorm have been released and given the nature of the game, the minimum specs are surprisingly relaxed.

System requirements. It’s one of the few bullets in the console gamer’s gun that PC players just can’t dodge. For console owners, figuring out minimum system requirements is a simple matter: do you, or do you not, own the console? For Team PC, it’s a bit trickier. Still, if you care enough to read this, you probably know enough to be able to make sense of what follows.

Bulletstorm Minimum System Requirements:

• Operating System: Windows XP (SP3), Windows Vista (SP2), or Windows 7
• Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo, AMD Athlon X2, or equivalent, running at 1.6 GHz or greater
• Memory (RAM): 1.5 GB
• HDD Space: 9 GB available
• Video Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible, 256 MB of VRAM; NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS, ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro 256 MB, or greater
• Soundcard: DirectX 9.0c compatible, 16-bit
• Disc Drive: 16X CD/DVD Drive
• Network: Internet (TCP/IP) connection

Bulletstorm Recommended System Requirements:

• Operating System: Windows Vista (SP2), or Windows 7
• Processor: QuadCore 2.0 GHz
• Memory (RAM): 2 GB
• HDD Space: 9 GB available
• Video Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible, 512MB of VRAM; NVIDIA GeForce GTX260, or ATI Radeon 4870
• Soundcard: DirectX 9.0c compatible, 16-bit
• Disc Drive: 16X CD/DVD Drive
• Network: Broadband Internet (TCP/IP) connection

Any halfway-decent gaming rig should be able to meet the minimum requirements, although I think we can all agree that playing games at low-end settings kind of sucks. But even the recommended settings aren’t terribly tough; a quad-core CPU, two gig of RAM and 512MB video card is hardly cutting-edge iron these days.

Bulletstorm, the classy new shooter from Epic and Painkiller studio People Can Fly, is slated to come out on February 22.
