These are not real system requrements because the graphics have evolved a bit from ProStreet and 2 gig of HDD space is extremely little. I think at least around 8.5 GB it should "weigh".

These requirements are from an official source so unless they typoed, they're real.

Hey !! finally the PC system requirements have emerged !! Undercover will surely run on my machine . Bojan, i really trust ur sources but i think that 2gb are little, i think the game size might be around 3.5 or 4gb !! anyway, can't wait to get my hands on undercover !! seems one hell of a game !!

Only 2 Gb's... That's kinda hard to believe...

[kimd41]

2Gb? I can't belive that, that's TOO small, only the cars and sounds take 2Gb and the map shoud be HUGE as he said.

"2.0 GB of HD space required to install game" <=> "The Full Game will take about 15GB's 4 sure!"

[Bojan]

Once again, these system requirements are the official system requirements for Undercover.

"Sorry, Bojan, but this cannot be true because NFS MW had already 3 GB's => this is IMPOSSIBLE!"

PS: "Yeah... maybe I have to agree this time because this are MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS !"

If the alien deems them real, they're real... no matter how hard it is to believe. =/

Those are the minimum system requirements. They're called minimum for a reason. More than likely a full installation will take more than 2GBs because of all the cutscenes. But a minimal installation that places only essential files on the hard drive (exe, dll's, and other core files) shouldn't take up much space.

[Carcrazy]

Haha, that's a great point that it probably loads info from the DVD. I haven't seen a game with that since the very late 90's.

[2fast4all]

carbon was 5gb
prostreet was arond 4gb

[Carcrazy]
