Minimum PC Requirements for Wolfenstein

Posted by Sierra Monica B. in Games on 07 2nd, 2009 | no responses

Among the upcoming video games prepared for release by this year’s winter holidays is the PC version of the highly expected Wolfenstein, a first person shooter with science fiction action, developed by Raven Software to follow Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

The game will appear in August working with the id Tech 4 engine developed by id Software and introduced by Doom 3. The advanced engine brings lots of new enhancements including dynamic per-pixel lighting, specular highlighting, normal mapping and bump mapping.

I’m sure you already know the plot in Wolfenstein, but let me add a few things about this sequel.
In 1943, during the Second World War, when Hitler focuses on global domination you play as B.J. Blazkowicz, a decorated member of the Office of Secret Actions. You have to find evidence of a mysterious power possessed by the Nazi, but you soon discover that they are actually using the dark power of a parallel dimension called The Veil.

Wolfenstein will be available for all gaming platforms including Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and personal computers running on Windows or Linux operating systems.

Peter Sokal, community manager at the game’s forums, announced the minimum PC requirements that you should check and see if your computer meets before running the game.
Software requirements include Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Vista, and Microsoft DirectX 9.0c, while the minimum hardware requirements are:

- Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 3400+
