![]() ![]() GC: Microsoft has already amended the requirements a couple of times already, so hopefully they’ll do so again. Let’s hope the final release will offer gamers support for their hardware. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens, but it feels like Microsoft might have shot themselves in the foot with this and gamers won’t take very kindly to the limited support Windows 11 has for other generations of CPUs and PCs that are only a few years old. ![]() Thankfully this is an early build of Windows 11 but the fact this has been discovered as a requirement and someone has had to find a work around leads me to wonder if Microsoft will eventually realise these requirements are a bit silly and will expand its compatibility list of CPUs and will consider giving people an option to boot without the need for Trusted Platform Module 2.0 or Secure Boot as an additional option. Gamers have spent good money on systems that are not that old and to be told that they can’t upgrade to Windows 11 because they don’t have a specific CPU or any of the above-mentioned requirements just feels like this could force people to buy new hardware or PCs they don’t really need. This raises many questions for me, as why on earth are specific CPUs supported on Microsoft’s list when many PC users will not want to buy new hardware when there isn’t anything wrong with what they have. This isn’t the worst part for gamers though, as if you do not have a supported CPU you won’t be able to upgrade to Windows 11. Microsoft has come out and stated that we will need Trusted Platform Module 2.0 and Secure Boot to be able to run Windows 11. I just cannot believe that Microsoft have actually gone and done something like this. The system requirements for Windows 11 on PC is baffling. He just comes across as a used car salesman at best to me. And it’s not as if he personally designed the Xbox Series X, he just told someone to make it super powerful (which, admittedly, is doing better than the last guy. Yes, Game Pass is great value for money but that’s not because of Spencer, it’s because of Microsoft’s bank account. But I just don’t see that Spencer has done anything special in the 10 years or so he’s been in charge now. I bought the Xbox Series X because it was more powerful, for multiformat games, and because of Game Pass (and the high cost of PlayStation 5 exclusives) and on both those counts I’m very satisfied. I’m pretty sure if someone asked him if he was going to buy a developer on the moon and make a Brute Force sequel he would have said that yes to that as well. If anything, Nintendo ones tend to be further out from release than most.Īm I the only one that doesn’t believe a word Phil Spencer says? And I say that as an Xbox Series X owner. GC: Every game, from every publisher, has an embargo. Not sure if all developers put in place such a curfew or if this is just Nintendo’s rules. On another point why do Nintendo always put in place a review curfew? I could understand if the game is going to be bad and the developers know it, but surely getting out an early good review creates a buzz around the game and encourages people to buy it. The game has some of the best dungeons and boss fights of any of the Zelda’s as far as I am concerned, and that in itself is reason enough to buy again. They don’t care what anyone thinks unless it’s in enough numbers to affect their bottom line and I’m sure they’ll be in the clear on this, as they are with everything else.Īm I the only person looking forward to the re-release of Zelda: Skyward Sword on the Switch? I haven’t played it for a fair few years but I remember loving it back in the day, faults and all (yes, I do remember how annoying the item message pop-up is).
