From the view of the trailer it seems the graphics are amazing, but I'm wondering if maybe my computer will not be able to process such graphic. Can you give me some of your information about how heavy the graphics are and do you think there would be a low quality option in the game? I'm working on a laptop, on the control panel it tells me my device is 'display:1. generic PnP monitor mobile Intel® 965 express chipset family'. Do you think my computer is good enough? And I would also like to hear some information about how I can find out more about my devices and there capability.

As others have expressed, the Unreal 3 Engine was designed with low end PCs in mind, so you shouldn't have to worry about not being able to play, so long as you don't play with the options maxed.

What is your Graphics card, RAM and CPU specs?

If the specs are bad, it's really your job to upgrade. I doubt the game will be too resource intensive though.

Ok:

Processor: Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU T2390 @ 1,86Hz 1.87Hz

Installed memory (RAM): 3.00 GB

You think that will be good enough? It's not the RAM I worry about but my computer's ability to display the game.

Yeah, something tells me that this game will be quite scalable in order to accomodate very well to a wide variety of hardware specs for the PC. Once more, that's my personal view though.

I do not see any problem with any of the modern game titles which are being released for the PC and console platforms today.


Edit: Just to remind you on posting your GPU model in here.

Playing a modern game on an old laptop and expecting it to work is really pie in the Sky, there has to be a base line for any game, otherwise it's going to be very difficult to scale up the game and have it balance out, not sure where you are in the world but, http://www.overstock...132/subcat.html as a sample of just how cheap a desktop can be. As well any local computer store should have or be able to find out a cheap platform, or friends with systems I have enough parts to make 5 mid range computers right now, it's the nature of the beast to upgrade your computer, if your into computers that is.

Given your specs you probably don't have a gaming quality GPU, which means PS2 level of game play Unless your on a system that's designed for game play all laptops are based around low energy use, low energy use means detuned and under powered compared to a similar spec desktop.

I just hope it looks as good when you actually play. I have a decent rig, plays most everything on Ultra high. I have been disappointed lately with some of the games I have bought. They look so awesome on trailers, but it never looks the same on your PC, even at max.

I feel ripped off when that happens...

This. Just bought one G53JW-A1 with GTX460m to run it at least in medium. This game deserves.

With a Pentium T2390 and (presumably) integrated graphics, your laptop will be struggling to play this on lowest settings (if it's even able).

Not sure on what computers the devs are using or what their specs are...but the game is powered by the Unreal 3 Engine.

I have an excellent graphic card (shouldn't be a problem to run the game), but my processor is really bad (worst the the original poster's). I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
