The MechScape system requirements will be higher than the requirements from RuneScape. This has been confirmed by Mod MMG in a recent question asked by Ren from MechScape World.
Ren:
“Any idea bout the minimum specs for Mechscape… Similar to Runescape?”Mod MMG:
“We haven’t locked down the final spec yet but we are using more polygons”
“I expect mechscape will be a higher spec than Runescape”
This should not come as a suprise since RuneScape 2 was released on the 17 March 2004 and was made for the internet speeds and computer at that time. 5 years later it seems reasonable that players can cope with the higher system requirements.
Of course their is a lot more we would want to know like:
“Is there going to be low and high detail?”, I guess we can assume there will be some different detail settings available. High detail and low detail in RuneScape is a big difference.
“Are the minimum system requirements for MechScape HD (or the max graphics settings) those of RuneScape HD?”, I actually am pretty sure that these requirements will be higher. I think I remember it being said by a Jagex employee in some video (or article) that the ‘new game’ will be making even better use of their technology, but I can’t remember where I picked that up. So if you know what I’m talking about just post a comment so we can all know where it’s coming from.
It are just some speculations which I posted above, but sometimes it can give you a picture of what it actually will be. These system requirements are linked to how MechScape will actually look. But that’s not the only factor, efficient code will allow for a better quality of the looks. Java isn’t exactly known for being very efficient. So you can’t really compare it to other games but you can compare it to RuneScape, since it’s made by the same developer and also made in Java. So if the requirements are way higher that could mean a much higher level of detail.
will MSCAPE have clans and will members be members on MSCAPE
I don’t know if MechScape will have a clan system, but I’m sure there will be clans. MechScape and RuneScape members subscriptions will have to be paid separately but there might be some kind of discount if you’re both.
