I am fairly sure the target performance should be not much beyond the capacity of a (current) midrange notebook with a dedicated GPU. Any news on scaling or system specs? .. or anyone spotted an options screen with the setting options yet?

I know the old quotes, but I don't see them happening really. Well, unless they delay a few more months so we can look at top range builds of 2009-2010, adjusted respective to the release date.

The specs have not been release, probably because the game is still being developed so they don't know what it's going to take to run the final game. Based on the game play videos, I would imagine that any recent laptop that has a dedicated GPU would be able to run the game. But that could change it they amp up the Eye Candy.
