Indeed, I tried running Bioshock on an older system that was perfectly capable of running most UE2 games, and it really struggled. Does anyone know if Infinite is just as heavily modified?

Sounds good. Though I hope my 5770 is still able to run this at an acceptable level. Otherwise I might have to finally invest in a new piece of hardware.

This is the real news here.
I agree, but I can't imagine what the reason is for not having values listed for the slider's position.
Honestly, who doesn't have at least a TB of HDD space? I think my PC has 2TB and it's a piece of garbage.
I'm with you on that one, I was just surprised by how much space the game is going to eat. That's not an issue in this day and age anyway.

True that. It really seems the devs just want to troll us. Like, sure here you can ajust FOV but we won't tell you to what degree
Regardless, I am happy I have the option even though I don't understand the no value thing. I mean how hard is it to program the display of the value? Like 5 mins of work?

Dat FMVs.
It's the PC gamer equivalent of "Hopefully my 10 inch dick is big enough"
Pfff I have Rage and Max Payne 3 installed. 30GB is nothing!
Set your age to 99 for bouncing.
it's not new news tho
It was confirmed steamworks like around E3 last year, and 2K/Take-two dropped GFWL from their titles for like two years now.
And why ?

hmm, wonder how well this'll run on my 2010 macbook pro. i'll have to compare the graphics card to infinite's minimum requirements.
i'll definitely double dip, either around release or a bit later when i finally build a desktop pc.
high-res texture install, i assume.

I really hope they do comparison shots between medium and ultra. I want to see just how pretty the game can look.
Mainly because it's a game coming out on current consoles, and one using UE3 to boot.
DX11 effects are not to be underestimated, even on high-end rigs they can butcher the framerate.
On a sidenote I'm kind of disappointed not to see native MSAA in the PC version.

You mean recommended spec? Because your 460 is quite beyond the min spec of 8800GT.
Btw, I love how revolutionary (popular/mainstream) the 8800GT was this console gen. Even after all these years devs still scale their games to support it.
Best CG of all time with the radeon 9700 pro.
Well my light shaft is activated.

SSDs currently aren't huge so you can have a refrigerator effect going on if you have a lot of games installed. Also bandwidth caps in certain countries are embarrassing so downloading 30GB is half of some peoples bandwidth cap for the month even though they have the speed to download this overnight. And for what...some movie file I am going to skip anyway or redundant movies files in both 720p and 1080p.

Given how games perform on laptops I think you are better off opting for the 360/PS3 version.
Because if a brand new high end card doesn't run it well, what will?
Awful optimization can go a long way, in 2011 I had a GTX570 and Batman Arkham City was still unplayable with Physx + DX11.
I assume Infinite won't stress my system very much, from what we have seen it's not an incredible looking game technically speaking.

Just curious...how did you know it's a laptop?
You have a mobile GPU. The capital "M" in the model name of the GPU (and CPU for that matter) is usually a dead giveaway.
They perform perfectly fine. Until you hit the temperature thresholds. And fans start screeching and things start throttling and slowing down.

The GTX 460 will run this game fine.

Any word on 21:9 support?

Well then, I learned something today.
Would the game be unplayable on my laptop? I don't have a 360 or PS3. I can run Bioshock 1 and 2, Portal 2, etc...on relatively high settings without hiccups.
I'm not really a specs person so sorry if these are really basic questions.

I don't. I only have a 512 gig raid array of flash storage. And my case is too small to add any more drives.

You meet minimum spec, but are under recommended. You should wait until the game comes out and check the performance thread here or guru3d before buying either way.
The game will run don't worry but don't act surprised if you come accross a few issues. I won't go as far as saying laptops are not suitable for gaming but they are definitely not ideal.
The game features a built-in benchmark for that matter :
