Redfall's PC system requirements revealed, but they're lacking a pretty big detail

pcgamer.com:

Arkane's anti-vampire shooter Redfall(opens in new tab) won't be out until next week, but the launch trailer is out today, showcasing plenty of action in a vampire-infested town and a clever Easter egg that old-time immersive sim fans will certainly enjoy.

Before that, however, we've got the official PC system requirements. They don't seem too brutal, although that 100GB storage requirement is stiff, especially if you're still rocking a small SSD. Maybe the most notable thing is that there's no indication of what players can expect from each specification tier. 

The omission is particularly glaring in light of the recent revelation that the Xbox version of Redfall will be limited to 30 fps(opens in new tab). It's also worth noting that the specs for Arkane's previous game, Dea(opens in new tab)thloop(opens in new tab), did provide specific resolution and framerate targets, which makes their absence here even odder.

To the numbers:

Back to the trailer: I can't say it really knocked my socks off. If there is one thing the world does not need more of, it's videogame trailers backed by shitty downtempo covers of old hit songs, and yet here we are with one more to throw on the pile. It's lazy, tiresome, and unoriginal, and it's a habit that needs to stop. (It probably won't, I know.)

The Easter egg, on the other hand, is clever, if not entirely surprising. At the 23 second mark of the video, a «Welcome to Redfall» map rolls onto the screen, with a note about a rally of some sort being held at the local fire station. The time of the rally is what's noteworthy: It's set to take place at 04:51 am.

0451 is a very famous number in the immersive sim genre, used as a password or keycode in games going as far back as the original
