World in Conflict has some pretty serious requirements. In fact, RTS games with their large environments and many units/explosions/fires can get very intensive for your graphics card.

That being said, Blizzard is known for catering towards the more casual PC market, making their games run on more computers than their competitors.

Big shocker, I can run this. :O

What would really be nice if they had Eyefinity support for it. I could probably easily max it out across my three monitors.

Well it's not that impressive technically, so I'm not surprised.

How much graphics does a RTS game really need? I bet if you upped the resolution of the original Starcraft and improved effects a bit, most people would be happy enough.

WE HAVE A WINNER !!!!

3D in RTS is a complete failure (even worse than 3D in fighting game)

Time to Work !

The requirements feel a bit low even given the RTS nature of Starcraft.

Starcraft had really low system requirements when it was released. I remember I could run it on just about any computer.

good to see i only need minor upgrades to play this incredible game

(my pc is just for writing music, so its not a horsepower machine, but it runs starcraft 1 ;))

Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6). This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

Those are nice and low, even on my 3-4 year old PC I should be able to run it. I just hope that ends up the final specs and not just for the beta. The beta apparently isn't running 3v3 or 4v4 matches.

You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.
