Our contact over at Sega has been in touch and let us know what pc hardware we are expected to have in order to get this multiplayer frenzy of a game running.

And I'll tell you what, for better or worse, it aint too high. Probably so our console brothers can run the game smoothly no doubt.

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)

To get you in the mood take a look at the new trailer or compare your system against these recommended specs over on our 'check your specs' tool

Pop over to our new forums where we are running an alien vs predator poll. Who do you favour out of the three? Or just have a chat about what you reckon AvP is likely to hold in store for us. I can tell you, I for one, am pretty darned excited by it.
