Looks like I meet the recommended requirements so I'm good. The release is June 24 and Amazon seems to confirm. DRM seems to be Steam, no problem with me! =D

not very scalable it seems. but it is a port so such is life...

Yet another game my P4 3.0 and x1950xt 512mb would barely run. Good thing I got the new rig when I did. I've heard it's an excellent game and I'd expect it to be even better on PC.

One of my friends was obsessed with the game on the 360 for a short while. Maybe I'll have to get it myself.

another freeroam game like Prototype combined with God of War IMO

well, worth a try :)

8800 GT minimum? Isn't that overkill? I mean for a simple porting job. Developers are getting really lazy. Unless it has some PC exclusive features its inexcusable.GeneralShowzer

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"][QUOTE="PredatorRules"] question, how does Prototype works on your system?kevy619

[QUOTE="kevy619"][QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] I have a GTX 260.That's beside the point.The video card on a console is considerably weaker than 8800 GT. That is bad porting job. GeneralShowzer

A GT220 is actually a good comparison to the 360's Xenos GPU. The GT220 will beat it in pure power but we got to take into account lack thereof when it comes to optimization. The GT220 makes perfect sense if there are few options as far as actual graphical effects are concerned.

Something is stinky here. The recommended Vga Gt240 performs lower ( alot lower ) than the supposively minimum 8800gtadamosmaki

Hmmm, 3 GB... Hope it works well with 2 GB
