More than that. New features include five new chapters never before seen on the X360, new multiplayer modes, a game level editor, and full support for DirectX 10. You can run this game in DX9 mode in Windows XP as well, if necessary. Will feature full co-op support over GFW Live.

First look, the first ever PC screenshots, the official press release and the awesome promo box shot of the game available here and here.

aah good good good , Gears of war and Gods of war I always wanted to play , anyway...what will be the system requirments for this game?

 

[yesh1683]

Still epic games have not announced the syetem requirements for GOW but itz built with unreal 3 engine and the syetem requiremets are very similar to unreal tournament 3,,

Sytem requirements for UT3 are also unknown

This is not official but might b true

As the GOW supports both DX9 and DX10 the requirements might not b very steep, and good DX9 card can run the game atleast at mid settings [guessing]

Generally speaking, the game runs quite smooth with DX9 hardware released by NVidia and Ati since 2006. On high-end cards, including the DX10 models, UT3 runs incredibly smooth already. Additionally, we also support shader 2.0 graphics hardware, with only a few technical limitations.

cool i always wanted to play this game

 

[Stalker]

the minimum system requirements may be the same as that of Rainbow six vegas(unreal 3 engine) or slightly higher...

Dam good of Epic to port this game across to it's equally deserving platform.Now some of us unfortunate non-360 owning souls can get a taste of this game.But the wait seems to be too long till Chirstmas this year.

But I guess patience is a strong virtue at the moment.Judging that Crysis has got a September release date that should be enough momentum till GeOW comes out.I just hope & pray the 7900GT that I am about to purchase will pull off both these games.Heck I wouldn't mind even 1280x960 resolutions. Plus 5 new chapters for PC version,Woooohooo!
