Runs great on my M4 Mac-Mini with 16gb ram.

I use a 1050Ti, it runs great so no need for 2060👍

I’m running out on a laptop with a hybrid chip. No issues at all.

We are days from release? I haven't read that anywhere

That may 6th 2024 release date. Was the lunch of Hades 2 early access.

1.0/full release of Hades 2 is at least months away. The earliest I can see H2 launching into 1.0 is winter 2025.

But I would not be surprised if it did not launch into 1.0 until spiring or even summer of 2026.

Note I’m just being generous with my estimations. I’d rather say, “don’t expect 1.0 until summer 2026”. Then have it actually launch winter 2025 or quarter 1 2026.

Then say,”it’s coming out winter 2025”. Then not have it come out until the 1st or 2nd quarter of 2026.

You get what I’m saying.

Steam doesn't have settings info?

Steam's min specs are 8 gigs of ram, so idk if you will be able to run it

Maybe I'm on steam deck but with my limited knowledge yes but I feel like you should also just look up hades twos requirements instead of asking reddit

Hades II requires DirectX 12 feature level 12_0 or greater to run. Just based off of this it seems like your card ought to have that feature level: https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-RX-Vega-7-Graphics-Card-Benchmarks-and-Specs.450004.0.html
Though you should run DxDiag and check for yourself. You can find the feature level by going to the "Display" tab in the DxDiag window, then checking under the "Drivers" section, next to "Feature Levels". The levels are listed from highest to lowest, so as long as the first number listed is 12_0 or higher, you should be good.

As for how well it would run, I'm not sure - there are graphics settings in-game so you can try adjusting those if it's running poorly.

For future note, save this link. This website has been the savior for my dad, who can't be bothered to find the specs of the computer I built him years ago, so he just resorts to this:

Uy pilipins! Goodluck brada

Last update is likely to push it over. Voice lines can take up a ton of space and there is still very little story progression dialogue and the first game was good at having characters chime in on just about everything. Romance plots, character relationships, and NPC plots have not been resolved. There are characters we likely have not seen yet who will have a ton of dialogue. That is a lot of space right there. The other big thing is that this game might just have more file compression

"When we get to v1.0, will the rest of the voice lines, extra game play elements, modes, art and sound assets, etc. push that over the top"

Most likely. They might have also gotten better at optimizing their assets.

am not a tech guy but I believe that it's just more optimized / more optimization features are present in these years compared to those years. I.E. technology becomes better over the years (just speculation)

I’m not techy so I don’t know if this is true - I would just assume a game made in 2020 has less advanced/optimized programming than a game made five years later, right? Therefore a clunkier program would take up more space? (I have no idea if that’s valid)

Melinoe is slightly smaller than Zagreus

Hey I just played Hades 2 with following specs:
Intel i5-12th gen
16GB Ram
with Intel Iris XE

and it was running at 1080p smoothly.. idk why its so slow on yours.
Am sure it will be resolved and u will be able to play it smoothly soon.

Do you have a discrete GPU or is it integrated?

If you have an integrated GPU then that's likely the issue. I have a 3070 and it's taking 60% of my VRAM no matter the graphics quality.

Did you try lowering the resolution of your laptop?

Oh my, what a view 🥹 I miss greece sm

Hades 2 have 3D models, while Hades 1 had sprites that were pre-rendered at 8 angles for each animation for each weapon in 720 and 1080p

I think you've already called it out. The art assets are what takes up storage space.

I haven't played h2 in a while but last I played there was a lot of placeholder art, the finished stuff will have high quality too I'll bet. It might be resolution for the files too, or localization that h1 has.

Another piece might be efficiency. H1 might have a lot of extra code left in the game that couldn't / wasn't removed from the finished product, but that same legacy or unneeded code didn't get added to h2.

Or perhaps h2 was coded differently that it doesn't need as much file space at all. I think I recall seeing the scripting for h2 was overall very simple so it was easier to add/ edit/ or eventually mod

I would expect a finished h2 to take up more storage, but it's not necessarily a given as a longer game with more content doesn't necessarily mean more bytes on your hard drive.

Engine changes that allow to use 3D models. Hades, in its own, was 2D game. That's why there is a lot of texture flickering, due to how it was layered.
edit: to add more. SGG since its very first game Bastion had its own custom engine based on MonoGame and Lua scripts. They were improving it across all games they did. At the end of the Hades 1 developing, they outsourced engine developers that started to add new features that are used in AAA games. One was real important for Switch port, and it was due to heavy Lua scripts that are single threaded crap, so the team added multi-threading to them that allowed them to spread all the script to all cores (and work on four 1Ghz little switch cores_). Later they added more features like the 3D. From that point, I don't follow Hades 2 development, nor I datamine the files to know what's inside. I can expect that the next game will be fully 3D, and due to that, will, sadly, be more similar to all games on the market -- I hope not.

They wrote a brand new type of compression code just for that btw

It has revolutionised game development

The game would reach several TB without this code. Very impressive work thank you Supergiant very cool

That's a zip file, it's 2 terabytes uncompressed

So Hades I takes 11.08 GB storage and I have about 530 hours on it.

Hades II takes 7.54 GB storage and I have about 228 hours on that.

I mentioned time played because it might influence storage place, I don't have a single clue how the save system works so I don't know how that might influence things. I know that some streamers had issues with slow loading times after playing a few thousand hours.

Maybe They've gotten better at managing storage place or they compressed stuff like sound files more or better(?), I really don't know the lingo around that.

It deletes the excess data after the run, nobody is any the wiser

If your storage is full it downloads the excess to virtual memory and potentially crashes some computers just so nobody realises

Bought on Steam in early access. Preordered on Switch 2.

It's one of those games I always want available to me regardless of what system I have with me.

Yeah supergiant games is my one of very few exceptions to the no pre-order rule.. and mainly because in early access they damn near had a full game already. Hope the launch goes well and I can't wait to see the ending!

I already can’t wait to see what magic they come up with for their next game. These folks know quality! Banger after banger!

And a quick million bucks from that hades 1 sale

That’s really awesome. Do early access games usually get a big spike of purchases on release day?
