Atari and Eden Games’ have announced in a press release for their PC version of Alone in the Dark (AitD) the anti-piracy measures that will be used, as well as the system requirements.

The system requirements can be found below.

PC minimum spec is as follows:

Operating System: Windows XP/Vista 32-bit & 64-bit

    2 GB needed? My god...they sure pushed it. This must be in the top 10 CPU push-overs.

    4.2.8 GHZ...that's a lot too.

    I'm sure not many people will buy it because of that....:S

      Are you frickin kidding?

      2 gig of ram is not that much, Especially at how cheap ram is to buy.

      2.8 GHZ is nothing, Especially with dual cores in most new computers now.

      These specs are medium, There actually quite low. You cant expect to play these top-end games on a 5yr old computer.

        Even so, they are still rather high i know this is a new game and new games need new hardware, but i fail to see any optimisations for anyone that has a computer even 2 years old. Maybe i'm just old but i remember back just a few years, a system even 6 years old could run the modern games in some capacity, i see this is no longer the case, has optimisation gone out the window or does Atari/Eden just not care about those that don't upgrade every year.

          No, they just want to make a quality game and have to delay it to try and optimise it for computers 6 yrs old.

          How do you think they can handle these graphics? Gaming has advanced very far in these last few years. Upgrade or buy a console.
