Well knowing Brad & Co., they're probably more likely to ere on the side of caution and therefore list the requirements as being too high, rather than risk low-balling them.... |
Follow-up:
Is it likely that the game will test the PC and come back with a diagnosis of whether the game will run or not? If so, it would be better to have the "fail" results say something like: "Gee, your PC is a dog, and this game will be painfully slow, but if you want to continue - it''ll be on YOU, not us!"
The bad way to handle a 'fail' result is for the game to say "Nope, you don't meet the minimum - buh bye." -- with a return to the desktop.
Would it be too much to ask for the demo to have the same test as well?
