@DonFerrari I think he was being sarcastic OT: I'm surprised at just how low they are. Nice, though.

@Genera1MLD: PS3 and Xbox360 also have HDMI output, and their performance is enough to run mostly at the same rate as the recommended PC (unless it's a sh*i! coding)... And 13years in development does mean it should be released on a SPEC that 13 years ago would be possible?? They should release it for a machine up to date, at least for a maximum performance - but maybe this will come just by MODS. @TheConduit: Even cheap notebooks nowadays would run it on the recommended spec... any decent PC 5years old would also do it.

look at the recomended spec rather than the minimum spec plus dont forget this has been in development for over 13 years, could anyones PC run this 13 years ago ??? probably not also with even better spec systems this will look even better and run so much smother. even though i own both a 360 and ps3 id still prefer to get it on pc simply cause my pc has upto date hardware where as both the 360 and ps3 dont, also most new PC's have HDMI output it can be played on any HDTV and possibly 3D aswell.

Pretty low, except for the unmentioned Steam requirement which kills my desire to buy this game. @usrevenge: *facepalm* That's where it began.

Everyone who doesn't even meet the minimum requirments should seriously consider an upgrade of the hardware.

The requirements are very low, almost everyone should be able to play it without an upgrade
