Title. Maybe it is too early, but I'm wondering how heavy JWE2 is compared to the first game.
System requirements?
- Thread starter Dark_Ansem
- Start date
I hope it's not much more because i've built a park in sandbox that had soooo many objects, that if I try to delete or add anything more it would cause JWE to crash. This is on a One X.
I mean, considering it's also a console release, I don't suppose they'll be extraordinarily high but still.
Certainly higher than the first.
But how much higher?
That is the question. I don't think too much, as the basics of the game are the same as JWE, but there will be something more to support the most advanced AI.
Depending on how advanced the AI is
I would look at Planet Zoos system requirements as a possible guess. It sounds like the game will be using the same engine and with the improvements like AI and bigger maps meaning more stuff to render you will need a decent GPU and definitely a CPU cause the CPU will handle all the AI stuff.
I am going to say at 1080p the 1000 to 2000 series Nvidia GPU's should be ok. Depending on which one you have you might be better off. Like if you have a 2070 super or something that like that. It's the GPU I have now. If you are running an older intel or AMD CPU you might consider an upgrade. I am sure 8GB of RAM will be the minimum so you would want 16 GB or more. Though 16 is still considered the sweet spot as far as RAM goes.
Also this depends on your settings. With lower settings you can use less powerful/older hardware. If you want to play with everything maxed out you will need newer better hardware. Especially if you want to play at higher resolutions like 1440p or 4K. Resolution is one of the most demanding settings in a graphics menu.
But like I said, it's PC gaming so you can tune your settings to your hardware. Most times ultra settings are just a waste anyway. They make very little difference visually and they tax your hardware more for very little visual gain. High is usually the best.

I admit my shame: I did the plunge for a 3000 RTX. But I didn't give in to the vile scalpers.

I would say low maybe medium settings. Maybe high if you don't mind sacrificing some frames. You might see performance drop as you build more stuff and create more dinosaurs so keep that in mind.
Thanks for the help! I honestly don’t care if I have to use low settings as long as I can actually play the game.
