Rise Of The Triad the reboot of the classic first person shooter with crazy multiplayer options like Dog Mode and weapons like Drunk Missiles is making it’s way to Steam, GoG.com and Green Man Gaming when it drops Summer 2013. Interceptor entertainment lists cross-platform chat but I’m thinking if they mean cross-store chat and play so no matter where you buy the game you can play with everyone else.
This also suggests that Steamworks and Steam Workshop integration are a no go so hopefully the master servers for Rise of the Triad stay up a long time. Hell maybe we are really going back in time and they want to evoke some old school nostalgia, remember using GameSpy or All-Seeing Eye to browse server lists! But enough of my ramblings I can’t wait to check out a reboot of this classic game, to make sure you too check out these minimum specs; remember guys always shoot better than recommended if you can.
Minimum:
OS: Windows XP 32-bit
Processor: 2.4 GHz Dual Core Processor or Better
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 3870 / NVIDIA 8800 GT
DirectX®: 9.0
Hard Drive: 5 GB HD space
Sound: DirectX Compatible
Recommended:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor: 2.4 GHz Quad Core Processor or Better
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6950 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560
DirectX®: 9.0
Hard Drive: 5 GB HD space
Sound: DirectX Compatible
I noticed a little thing in these specs, Recommended Windows 7 64-bit. I’m hoping that means they’ve developed a 32-bit and 64-bit executable to get the most out of modern systems. However the 4 GB recommended Memory doesn’t really scream needs 64-bit but then again maybe it doesn’t need it.
