Not too bad, the game isn't even demanding judging from the recommended specs

I agree, usually its lower than a i7, because that is the best intel cpu, wonder why a i7 as recommended?

Yeah makes no sense, I think the i5 games better than the i7 (unless it's a 4770K
)I'll be able to play it at least, I think this will fill the gap that Dishonoured created, at least I hope so.

Maybe they inflated the requirements or they're just really bad at optimization? I honestly can't see that a game in 2014 that's still running on the Unreal Engine 3 can have such high requirements.
Maybe its using the engine's full potential for the game.

Rubbish. 10 internet points says you can max the game with an i5 if the GFX is strong enough. i7 lol...
Seriously which fool drafted these specs.
Man I hope these okes are better at building games than writing specs.
Seriously which fool drafted these specs.
R9 is cutting edge...Radeon HD covers a lot of ground...like 5+ year old tech...yet they are both presented as recommended spec. The 660 is also not even close to comparable to R9.
Man I hope these okes are better at building games than writing specs.

Not the same developers, but both games are published by Square Enix yeah.
I just hope that thief is as good as tomb raider, but with less crying, please less crying.

Yes bad optimization looks at Call of duty ghosts shakes head.

They were pretty good stealth games back in the day. I don't think they'd be as appealing today though. They've aged quite badly in my opinion. Best to wait for the reboot and decide if it interests you.

Seconded. Avoid the the first in the series, they've aged really badly. However on release there was nothing like it and it has in my opinion, been the stepping stone of that genre into gaming.

There's a GIF for that
I think the first two thief games are still the best pure stealth games in existence. The graphics may be terrible (they were even bad back then), but the gameplay, story and atmosphere can't be beat, in my opinion. I'm cautiously optimistic about this new one, but I'm going to wait for some reviews before I get it.

Pretty sure U3 engine can eat up 6 cores and 6 threads very easily, you must remember it's a powerful cinematic tool as well. How ever, if one looked at how well UT3 scaled and it's a bit odd that they still ask for a i7. I am confident that my Original i5 will be enough to play it.
