Sega have given us a new release date for the previously-delayed Empire: Total War. And some new screenshots. And, perhaps most useful of all, some system requirements to go with them.
Originally delayed from February to "March 2009", the game will now be out in the US on March 4. Interestingly, it's going to use Steam as DRM, meaning if even if you don't have/like Valve's service, you'll need to install it in order to play the game.
As for the specs, here's what you'll need as a minimum in order to play the game:
OS - XP or Vista 32
Processor - Intel 2.4ghz or equivalent
RAM - 2GB (Vista) 1GB (XP)
GPU - 256MB Card, DirectX 9.0
HDD Space - 15GB
Sign up now for access to Blasphemous, SNK Arcade Classics, and more.
Finally, the three new screens are below.
DISCUSSION
Been a Total War fan since Shogun. Got a new PC just for this game. With this and Starcraft 2 i'll be satisfied for a long time as far as strategy games go.
