gpu wise it will be poorly optimized but cpu isnt too bad. personnaly id like to see what happens with this game

What? That isn't bad at all.

The quad core requirement is what indicates a bad port to me.

The game uses DX11 and 3D vision effects thats why....

The game is pretty bad anyways, not that big of a deal to me.

Lets wait until it actually comes out...this is using the same engine as DMC4, and that PC port was amazing. System Requirements aren't always a good way to judge the quality of a port.kieranb2000

This. Plus, nothing can be worse than gta4...well they can but you wouldnt be able to play it

Well an 8800gt is kind of a steep requirement when the console game ran on hardware 3-4 times less powerful than it.

Although most games that say an 8800gt is part of the requirements doesn't mean much since I can usually max them out anyway.

Settings are fine for me. Its a mess on console it looks like crap and runs like it too

I am not complaining until I see how the game runs.

I don't think it will be bad because like I mentioned games that have required an 8800gt allowed me to play at max with it.

Well if I can play Metro 2033 at 1440x900 on very high directx 10 settings then I expect this game to not be that taxing or something is wrong.

Also ran Metro 2033 at 1680x1050 on very high directx 9 mostly because I could see no difference and it gave a good boost in frame rate.

just ran the bench, im on my little tv so res is 1360*768. I averaged 80fps with 4xaa, max settings in dx9. Min was 60 fps.

Your card?

I ran the test and I was right.

My 8800gt can handle it on max with 2 or 4x AA

I don't really see a difference so I leave it at 2x.

Also I played it on 1680x1050.

Got around 40 FPS.

The quad core screams for facepalms, jeez its a third person shooter, why all the requirements? The gpu is good. Anyway i thought capcom has given up in this game, it wil be cool to play a game with very good graphics from capcom that is also optimized....oh wait, it needs a quadcore :(dakan45

The recommendation of using a controller over mouse&kb screams bad port at me. If there goint to wait half a year to port a game over and not even bother to do a decent port then people just wont buy it and the low sales will all be the fault of piracy again.

Exactly this, trust me, I did the benchmark on Max settings 8X msaa 1920x1200 resolution directx11 options on high, it looks amazing.

Benchmarked it in DX11 with everything set to max

I got: 51 fps average with 32xAA

and 67 fps average without AA

Runs good enough i guess.:D Does anybody know what DX11 features this game uses anyway? I thought i saw some tesselated water (That didn't look to well) but i'm not sure.

And why did the player in the benchmark demo play so awful lol

The Zotac 480 GTX AMP!

But i don't think that someone actually needs 32xAA at 1080P, its just nice to see that your GPU can handle it lol

The Lost Planet 2 game is pretty well optimized if I can max it out just fine with my 8800gt OC at 1680x1050.

I have good expectations of the game.

I would take more screenshots but they always blur because my computer likes to hiccup when saving the multiple bmp files.

I usually get around 40 fps or more but my frame rate dips down when taking screenshots.

Also it is hard to get a good screenshot when the stupid player keeps focusing on bad camera angles.
