Unusually, the "recommended" specs are very close to what a realistic recommendation would be!

It would be great if they used this engine to remake the original games (like they did RE1 for Gamecube), I'd certainly like to try them out but they look really awful now days.

Just an FYI, I have a Radeon HD 4670 and ran the benchmark at above 30fps almost 100% of the time. Granted, I also exceed the CPU and RAM recommended specs, but if there's anyone else out there who owns a 4670 and wants this game for PC but is worried it might not run well, you'll be fine. :)

Are we to believe that you might be able to aim and shoot with the mouse? Or is it just for navigating menus?

Alright Capcom now lets see if you'll make good with all your statements about all the Stereoscopic 3D effects you said you added in, because they were absent in your benchmark demo.

I'm leery of this, only because the RE4 port for the PC had AWFUL controls. You really need a game pad to play it proper.

RE5 takes a lot of flack I notice... for not being a carbon copy of previous.

But it's a damn good game if you play it through. (PS3)

I do like benchmarks.

My machine is pretty lacking these days, I'd have never have purchased Street Fighter 4 without that useful benchmark, same for this. Numbers and words are alright but sometimes publishers are a little less truthful than I would like them to be when it comes to the minimum spec to run their games.

More benchmarks, please.
