Default SoW:BoB 64-bit/Multicore optimised?

Hi All,

Will SoW:BoB take advantage of 64-bit, quad-core architecture, hyperthreading etc?

The PC gaming industry has gotten seriously out of whack. $800 twin-gpu setups are common, but no more than a tiny handful of games use more than 2 CPU cores, more than 2GB of ram or are multi-threaded. A great opportunity for deep AI and immersive, interactive and open worlds is being totally ignored by the industry. This is all the stranger as RAM and CPUs are relatively cheap compared with high-end graphics cards.

I'm hoping SoW:BoB will make use of the PC features that will be mainstream in the coming years. FSX is the only game that does at the moment (seriously, this is a fact). SoW:BoB is ideal for hyper-threading and the 16GB of RAM the Home Premium editions of Win 7/Vista allow would permit environments of incredible detail to be portrayed, along with intensive layered AI processing etc.

There's a lot of expectation out there for BoB, and I'm no different. I held off buying a new PC until it became imminent. (I'm very reassured at the busy look of your offices BTW!) A bit of info about the processing capabilities of BoB at this point might whet people's appetites even more....

Regards,
