Hmm... PC exclusive content? : ( Maybe not though.

120+ FPS, 3 x amount of enemies on screen...

What does 120fps even look like? What does it currently run at on the consoles? When I play with two people on one console, the frame rate drops to about 20.

After testing the benchmark on my laptop (low graphics with 15-20fps ) I really hope that the PC version will allow to play co-op on one PC so I can at least play the game with my friend at his machine.

Also, I'm curious if those two (according to Gamespot) additional costumes for Chris and Sheva will replace the old ones, or there will be four costumes in total in PC version.

Getting the benchmark now. Mr Zombie, what are your specs? There's a good chance we can use them as unofficial minimum requirements

now i need a expensive comp

[Helegad]

Yay! I can run it decently on medium + 1440x900 or high + 1024x768 I'm happy!

[DeadArtist]

What? there is a demo you can `download?

Do you guys think that the consoles will have the extra content too sometime? New Mercenaries levels and costumes? Come on!!!! We need that too

Athlon 64 X2 QL-60 (2x 1.9ghz), 2gb RAM, Radeon HD 3200 (integrated GPU, max amount of memory is 512 mb).
It is playable but it looks rather ugly :/.

However, at least it still doesn't look like that:

I have an INTEL CORE 2 DUO 2.40 GHZ WITH 2GB 160HD AND NVIDIA 8800. Do you think it will play at least... nice?

Suprisingly I've it completely maxed out and get a steady 40 - 50 FPS! Was amazed!
