System Specs Revealed for Aliens vs Predator
Anxiously waiting for the upcoming Aliens vs. Predator reboot? Take a look at the minimum and recommended hardware requirements.
Although we haven't seen anything official come across the newswire, apparently Sega has revealed the minimum and recommended system requirements for the PC version of Aliens vs. Predator, according to fansite AVPGalaxy.net. Based on the provided requirements, the game won't need an utterly super beefy gaming rig to achieve the ideal experience.
However, gamers wanting a taste of AVP's native DirectX 11 support will need a graphics card based on ATI's Radeon HD 5670 at the least--these are priced relatively cheap for under $100. Boards based on Nvidia's upcoming DirectX 11-compatible "GF100" Fermi GPU won't be quite as cheap, but may give ATI's Radeon HD 5870 a run for it's money when it hits the market.
Nevertheless, here are the sacred specs for Rebellion's upcoming AVP reboot:
Minimum Requirements
- Windows 7/ XP/Vista
- 1 GB System RAM (XP)/ 2 GB System RAM (Vista)
- 3.2 GHz Intel Pentium 4/Athlon 64 3000+ or equivalent processor
- DirectX 9.0c compliant video card with 128 MB RAM (NVIDIA 6600 or better, ATI X1600 or better)
Recommended Requirements
- Windows 7/ XP/Vista
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 or equivalent processor
- 2 GB System RAM
- DirectX 9.0c compliant video card with 512 MB RAM (NVIDIA 8800 series, ATI HD2900 PRO or better)
On another note, fans of the original Aliens vs Predator (Classic) PC game, released back in 2000, can grab the digital version from Steam for a mere $4.99. Steam is also offering Universe at War: Earth Assault and three additional, exclusive AVP skins for gamers who pre-order the new installment.
Finally, there's already talk about DLC and a sequel to the not-yet-released Aliens vs. Predator PC game. Although nothing is set in stone, Rebellion co-founder Jason Kingsley said "much of that will come down to Fox and Sega." Kingsley's recent interview with CVG regarding the game and the future of the franchise can be found here.
Aliens vs. Predator is slated to hit the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC on February 16 in North America, and on February 19 in Europe.

You guys need to remember they have to sell alot of these games to make
money or go bankrupt which means no more games. Thats why the minimums
allow more gamers to play. these are a step up from the avg of last

Your wrong its catered to the lowest denominator so they dont have to spend loads of money or countless hours to port it.
Consoles dont have lower end hardware in them per se (cell rules almost any cpu if used correctly).
CPU < CELL
