    What do you think the minimum system requirements will be like?
    Ive been looking everywhere and so far no real info on this; but since the graphic style changed, I hope that will make it more playable on lower-end systems. Im really looking forward to a game I can play both solo offline and co-op online.

    I would expect your G102M to either be right at the very minimum, or well below it. CPU is also quite borderline.

    It is a bit too early to say since the game won't be released until the spring . . . I had a private demo of it at E3 and the game looked very demanding. I agree with Kevin; your GeForce G102M graphics card will probably not be able to play the game. I estimate ATI Radeon X1800XT/GeForce 7800 256MB minimum.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Yea, those screenshots looked pretty good. Too bad they wont be releasing a demo (or so I hear), or I could actually test it out. Looks like Ill have to persuade my friend to buy this for the 360 then.

    I thought the game was coming out on October 20th. Has it been pushed back?

    You are right, the release date is this October. I was thinking of a different game.

    A good rule of thumb is that if a game is mutli platform (Xbox 360, PS3, & PC) then it is going to have similar system requirements as other games that are multi platform. Consoles are only capable of so much and games ported over from them generally require a similar level of PC hardware to run. Most ports have a GeForce 7800/Radeon X1800XT as the minimum, so I would not expect much difference here.
