I ran the alpha perfectly fine on high settings. I probably ran the same settings as I do in BF3 and got the same performance. And that was terribly unoptimized. I'm not too concerned about these specs tbh.

[Shawn Zipay]

High or max settings? Because the highest settings in that alpha just slapped my framerate around and made my computer its bitch (and not in the good way).

I'll probably rent it for the 360, I'm not that pumped about this game and it releases near DS3 and Bioshock. Oh and Tomb Raider is around that time but I'll probably rent that too.

High. I certainly can't run max settings on my laptop haha.
