We've been talking to Benjamin Smith on the development team about this. There are no plans to implement GeForce 4 support in a patch. The engine was not built to run acceptably (performance or appearance-wise) on the GeForce 4 series of cards.

Well, I won't be buying this game and I'm guessing a big part of their customer base will do the same. Brilliant marketing strategy EA! :yes:

Er, why are so many people complaining about the requirements? Isn't this supposed to be next-gen game?

Yeah, I believe it's pretty much the first of the next-gen titles to come out.

The problem is that the game runs just fine on ATI cards of equal or weaker performance (even Radeon 8500 is supported!). The only difference between GeForce 4 series cards and same level ATI cards is the used pixel shader version. Nvidia has 1.3 while ATI has 1.4. Would it be too much to ask to get support for older shader version?

For a game that wont run on a gf4, it dont look too good.

Which is kind of ironic, considering it's got the nVidia "The way its meant to be played" thing going on...
