Sounds cool right, that&#8217;s because it is. The citizens of the city in order to forget the tragedies of war (WWII) take a hallucinogenic drug fittingly called &#8220;Joy&#8221;. &#8220;Joy&#8221; puts them in a happy state of denial and leaves them with no morals.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"We Happy Few \u2013 Announce Trailer | PS4\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rp0M5Y6JMbQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"We Happy Few \u2013 Announce Trailer | PS4\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rp0M5Y6JMbQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>The game was first shown at PAX 2015 where it was very well received. So well that it could actually become a problem for the developers. People felt that the game looked and felt like it had much more to offer than it really did. But the truth was that the game was nothing more that just another survival game where you tried to escape this mad city.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What It Will Be<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Compulsion<\/strong> knew that making the type of game that people were expecting is not an easy job. It requires a lot of money, money that they didn&#8217;t have. So instead of setting up to be the next\u00a0<strong>No Man&#8217;s Sky<\/strong> they decided to give the people what they wanted.\u00a0<strong>Compulsion\u00a0<\/strong>took the game to <em>Kickstarter\u00a0<\/em>where they promised a complete story mode. They asked for 250,000$ and raised more than 300,000$.<\/p>\n<p>At E3 2016 <strong>We Happy Few<\/strong>\u00a0was showcased at the Microsoft Stage. This is where Gearbox stepped in.\u00a0<strong>Compulsion<\/strong> were not looking to be published but rather wanted to self publish and show organic growth. But Gearbox would not have it and eventually convinced the team.<\/p>\n<p>Now the game is set to release in April 13th, 2018 with a 60$ price tag. But now it&#8217;s less like <strong>Ark<\/strong> and could give <strong>Bioshock<\/strong> a run for its money.<\/p>\n<h2>We Happy Few: System Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>Following are the expected We Happy Few PC requirements:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Minimum:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>OS:<\/strong>\u00a0Windows 7 SP1 with Platform Update<\/li>\n<li><strong>Processor:<\/strong>\u00a0AMD FX-4350, 4.2 GHz \/ Intel Core i5- 2300, 2.80 GHz<\/li>\n<li><strong>Memory:<\/strong>\u00a06 GB RAM<\/li>\n<li><strong>Graphics:<\/strong>\u00a0AMD HD 7870, 2 GB \u2013 Nvidia GTX 660 2 GB<\/li>\n<li><strong>DirectX:<\/strong>\u00a0Version 11<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage:<\/strong>\u00a040 GB available space<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sound Card:<\/strong>\u00a0Any<\/li>\n<li><strong>Internet Connection:<\/strong>\u00a0Any<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>OS:<\/strong>\u00a0Windows 10 Creators Update<\/li>\n<li><strong>Processor:<\/strong>\u00a0AMD FX-8350, 4.0 GHz\/ Intel Core i7-3770, 3.4 GHz<\/li>\n<li><strong>Memory:<\/strong>\u00a08 GB RAM<\/li>\n<li><strong>Graphics:<\/strong>\u00a0AMD \u00a0RX 480, 4 GB \/ Nvidia GTX 970, 4 GB<\/li>\n<li><strong>DirectX:<\/strong>\u00a0Version 11<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage:<\/strong>\u00a060 GB available space<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sound Card:<\/strong>\u00a0Any<\/li>\n<li><strong>Internet Connection:<\/strong>\u00a0Any<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We Happy Few\u00a0set out to be something that gamers have somewhat already experienced in a different setting.
