#OPENGL 3.3 REQUIREMENTS UPGRADE#
But the best part of being a PC Gamer as opposed to a console gamer is that we have the freedom to upgrade our systems for newer and better games, and better performance and visuals. I upgraded what I could afford and through trade, got a 66MHz and then a 100MHz processor for it, new RAM etc to run some games. I had to pass on games like Diablo and StarCraft because my machine wouldn't run it. Before I got my first job and could buy my own components, I was running a 486 DX 33MHz. I know you said you didn't have money for a new rig, but until then it's just something we all have to deal with. You can get a card that will play this game for super cheap online. If it's a laptop, hang it up and get a new one. You've gotten a good 7 years out of that machine.

Other people expecting the games industry to hold out on their advancements so that people don't have to update their systems is unreasonable. You're not going to be able to get away with super old ATI/nVidia and especially not Intel integrated graphics chips anymore. However, I think GF Remastered is a good indicator of the changes to come. I suppose OpenGL is not the heavy-hitter that it used to be in the Quake days, most everything runs DirectX and because of the old console generation everything included compatibility for DX9 which was very widely supported on hardware. I can't believe that you wouldn't have run into problems like this before. But when you know you have an old computer, it's just one of those things you have to live with. I like you Groze, and your post was well explained. Still, these things should come as a surprise. Understand that it's not our fault if we can't afford an upgrade every six or seven years, for a multitude of reasons. Go build your REAL GAMER RIGS, then, and let us complain all we want. Groze: I know, right? *So* funny, all of us, obsolete wannabe gamers complaining about something that is *clearly* our fault! Because, hey!, Batman Arkham Asylum clearly looks better than Grim Fandango Remastered, and it requires OpenGL 3.3, right? (hint: it doesn't, my obsolete GPU runs it just fine). Hardly any 3d engine games will play on those. As for those trying to get this to run on laptops with older Intel integrated graphics, I find it hard to believe that you're not used to this kind of thing by now. I've been building my own machines for decades, it's easy and fun. Once every 7 or 8 years really doesn't seem like too much to ask in my opinion. Sometimes, you just have to update your tech. But in reality, except for the RAM requirement (which I actually severely doubt is that high in reality) the system requirements for this game are extremely low. Better quality = higher system requirements. This is a remastered version done using more modern techniques.

PC Gamers have been used to upgrading their machines for 30 years in order to get newer software to work.

You just need to not own a complete piece of shit. An almost decade old API that is even available on low-budget Intel chips is hardly requiring a "modern gaming rig".

Why should we be arguing about this? If you don't want to care about us just ignore us. It's not just about not spending money on things companies say we should need because they say so, I don't like throwing garbage out just to buy more garbage that is more power hungry in order to do the same things that I did 10 years ago with whatever I just threw out.

I have the same right to say: "spend more money on good development". The response to a simple and kind request is blaming the customer for not spending more money on computers. Some companies don't seem to like customer requests or criticism. I wished the game had improved as much as the requirements have gone up. Berarma: It's a shame that I need a high-end modern computer to play a 17 years old game with some small changes.
