L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files released on the HTC Vive last week via Steam, but its hefty system requirements mean that only players with the very best PCs will get to enjoy the experience to the full extent. But developer Rockstar Games is looking to change that in the near future.
Following the game’s launch, Rockstar confirmed to UploadVR that the team will be “broadening the requirements in the coming weeks”. Right now the game demands a minimum of a GeFore GTX 1070 graphics card, 8 GB RAM and an Intel Core i7-4790K CPU. Vive’s official recommended specs, meanwhile, set the bar much lower asking for a GTX 1060 card, 4 GB RAM and an Intel Core i5-4590 processor. There’s bound to be people that bought low-end VR ready PCs that won’t be able to play the game, then.
As Rockstar noted at release last week, the game also has troubled running on AMD hardware, so we’ll hopefully see those issues resolved too. Rockstar didn’t get into specifics as to what will be updated and when, but hopefully more of you will be able to check the game out early in the new year.
L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files allows you to step into the shoes of Detective Cole Phelps and solve seven cases originally seen in the main game first released on PS3 and Xbox 360. We’re very fond of the game, awarding it 8/10 in our review.
