What is necessary to run Far Cry Primal? System requirements and release date

The Middle Stone Age is a difficult and dangerous period. After all, here, in order to feed the tribe, it is necessary to track down the prey for several days, and it is necessary to fight off wild animals with a club, a spear or an onion. But this is what attracts Far Cry Primal. Only to play it, you need to know how much it is demanding.

Far Cry Primal: release date

A computer toy about the prehistoric period was announced in the fall of 2015. At the same time, it became known that the Ubisoft Montreal studio was developing with the participation of several other divisions. However, rumors about this appeared a little earlier. The creative director of the company was once asked in one of the interviews whether there will be additions to the fourth part, to which he replied that at the moment they are engaged in another project.

Entertainment product Far Cry Primal, the release date of which was determined in March 2016, was issued in two additional editions - digital and collector. The first included additional content, and the second contained several physical objects: the game itself, a collector's book, a collection box with a saber-toothed tiger skull on it, optical disc packaging, a Urus map, an official soundtrack and a phrasebook for learning the game language.

Runaway mammoth, attacking tiger

The game Far Cry Primal takes gamers to the Stone Age, just at the moment when the protagonist - Takkar, along with his fellows, is on the hunt. Nothing personal, the tribe in fact needs to be fed, so the mammoth must die before it. Nerves are stretched to the limit, as there can be no mistake. They are the only hunters in the village and for so long here have come that returning home empty-handed will be tantamount to death.

And now the lucky moment is chosen, the mammoth is surrounded, he desperately tries to escape, but in the end only pushes himself into a corner. It remains to kill him - and you can return to your beloved Urus. But suddenly arose saber-toothed tiger slightly destroys plans of hunters. There are too few of them to resist him, so the pussycat quickly deals with all the brothers and begins to move toward Takkar and his partner. Leap from the cliff ... It's better to be shattered than to be eaten. But he is alive, which can not be said of his companion. Although the question is controversial, who is more fortunate, because he was left alone, without weapons, in an unfamiliar place, and somewhere around there goes a dangerous beast ...

As a result, the hero will have to assemble the remaining members of his tribe, who have dispersed throughout Urus. Only first it is necessary to build a settlement where they can live, work and protect it from the outside world.

A small step forward

Visually, the game looks just fine. The developers' efforts were not wasted. The picture was excellent. Characters, various objects, animals, weapons, the surrounding world - everything is worked out to the smallest detail. Between the missions, many beautiful and realistic clips are inserted.

The open world is created on the engine (modified) Dunia Engine 2. It is responsible for changing the time of day and weather phenomena, and also allows creating huge locations with a lot of diverse vegetation. Noticeably, as compared to the previous part, detail has grown. For example, there are fewer artifacts, which are usually associated with the loading of areas as the player moves along them. Of course, all this is good, but it should be borne in mind that the system requirements for Far Cry Primal are quite high.

It's interesting that this time the PC version of the game was left without some technologies developed by Nvidia. And this applies even to technologies that improve shadows. You can forget about the method of smoothing (TXAA), imitation hair and volumetric lighting. The developer for some reason decided to use his implementation of the above effects. And still it can be concluded that visually the game made small, but a step forward in comparison with the previous part.

Far Cry Primal: system requirements

Since the time when Ubisoft posted information about the requirements for the game, it became clear that it would launch on those computers on which the fourth part was also launched. But this concerns the minimum requirements. At high settings, only owners of modern and expensive hardware can play. But first things first.

With regard to the operating system, then for the game in Far Cry Primal on the PC will need Windows three latest versions (7, 8 or 10). At the same time, the developer explains that only 64-bit OS is suitable for launch.

In general, if low enough settings, then you need a computer with 4 GB of RAM and GeForce cards no lower than 400 series or Radeon HD 5770. The processors will fit either AMD X4 955 or Core i3 530 from Intel. Apparently, the requirements are not too high in comparison with the projects released around this time. Take, for example, the last game about the plunderer of tombs. To run it, you need a higher configuration.

For those who are looking for a more comfortable game in Far Cry Primal, the system requirements will be much higher. We will have to save up to 8 GB of RAM, an FX8350 processor from AMD or Core i7 2600k from Intel and a video card or Radeon R9 260 X, or GeForce at least 700-series.

With a hard disk space, it's unlikely that anyone will have a problem, because to install the game will need only 20 GB.

Conclusion

In general, in any case it is necessary to install the game Far Cry Primal. System requirements are not always accurate. Little else, maybe there is still a chance to visit the Mesolithic.

And finally a couple of words for laptop owners. As you can see, video cards of laptop computers are not officially mentioned. But this does not mean that they are not supported. Running is very much possible. You just need to try.
