will my computer run L2?

Post by eastshore4 » Wed Oct 18, 2006 10:59 am

I understand that Lugaru 2 is still in development, and there probably won't be concrete specs until around release, but what kinda system do you think will be required to run it? I'm picking up a new mac, and was expecting to buy the higher end mac mini (1.8 ghz i believe)... would that run this game full-blast? should i be saving up for a real high-end rig? what would you all reccommend?

The Mac Mini has a terrible graphics card. It may be able to run Lugaru, but it would be far from running it "full-blast".

i know macs in general have pretty poop-doopy graphics cards, but I don't wanna go all out on a $2500 computer... the highest i'm prob. willing to go is one of the new imacs.

also, we're still going to get a windows AND mac version of L2 at the same time, right?

The lowend iMac is even worse than the Mac Mini. The key is the graphics card. If price is an issue for you, you might want to consider a PC. You can get a prime Lugaru 2 PC for under $1000.

L2 should be released for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux at the same time (more or less).

As long as you don't go for the entry level imac you'll be fine. Go the 2Ghz 17inch one.

(Honestly, A PC? Eeeeeew!) :P

Yeah, I made a kickass ultra gaming PC for a little over the price of an entry-level 17-inch iMac. PCs are worth it for the budget.

That's quite an impressive necromancy there! And relevant, too!

Really? Works on the mini?
Any jitters? Combat going well?
How far up's all the specs?
