thought it was a toad

 

[Rosaudio]

Yeah, pretty sure that's a toad.

 

[HavocXphere]

Colour me amazed.

Looks like they're a step ahead of the Unreal Engine - at least on the fine detail front.

 

[GreyBush]

When that helicopter lands... impressive.

 

[BandwidthAddict]

Gobsmacked. I wonder what machine you would need to run that monster to that detail.

 

[noswal]

you have until Feb next year to get it

 

[LCBXX]

Watse blerrie PC het ek nou weer nodig om die game te kan run he??

 

[ponder]

you have until Feb next year to get it

Whatever you buy between now and then won't be enough

Pfft, my pc could not even play the hd video

Equivelent of a sharp pocket calculator. The game is a console port...

Yes because other "console ports" could be played on an entry level PC.

Set the resolution on the PC to what the console renders internally (generally <720p) to level the playing field and entry level PC start looking mighty plausible. We are talking 7 year old console tech here...

That assumes that they don't pull similar bullsht as in Crysis 2. Heavy tessellation on geometry that is never visible, thus artifically increasing the PC requirements. Naturally this doesn't affect consoles...they don't support DX11 tessellation at all.
