The Evil Within release date: Locked at 30 FPS frame rate, required 4 GB RAM & VRAM on PC
With only a few days before its official commercial release date, The Evil Within developers have spilled some technical information and system requirements of the game such as frame rate and aspect ratio.
"Shinji Mikami and the team at Tango designed The Evil Within to be played at 30fps and to utilize an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 for all platforms," the post states.
It explains further, "The team has worked the last four years perfecting the game experience with these settings in mind. For PC players, we'll provide debug commands on how you can alter the framerate and aspect ratio, but these commands and changes are not recommended or supported and we suggest everyone play the game as it was designed and intended for the best experience."
Bethesda also reiterated their PC recommendation for 4 GB of Video RAM to play at 1080p.
"The PS4 and Xbox One both have 8 GB of unified RAM which can be used as both system and video memory. Because our PC version is functionally identical to those platforms, we recommend 4 GB of system memory, and 4 GB of VRAM for the best experience," Bethesda's Global Community Lead explains in the post.
Meanwhile, Siliconera reported that Xbox One in Japan will use The Evil Within to try to rake in better sales in the country.
Prior to the recently concluded Tokyo Game Show 2014, there was a huge ad for the upcoming title sponsored by Microsoft.
Japanese-based players will get a 5,000 yen discount if they purchase an Xbox One console and The Evil Within game at the same time.
The promo runs from Oct. 23 to Nov. 12.
