Capcom'sLost Planet 2 is coming to the PC on October 15, according to a recent press release. And a "preview" for the game is available today, meaning you don't have to rush into a purchase blindly later this fall.
This PC version prominently features DirectX11 tech and NVIDIA 3D support, both of which will naturally perform better on higher-end PCs. If you're unsure of how your rig will perform, feel free to hit NVIDIA's official site right now. There's a downloadable preview that'll apparently tell you if you'll be able to run the game and then to what specs you can comfortably do so.
All told, the preview has two parts: Test A and Test B. The former is like a short demo. Its purpose is to give you an indication how LP2 will actually run on your PC. The latter is a benchmark for DX11. It'll "push [your] PC to its limits" and give you a good idea as to what your rig can handle in general.
This is a DirectX11 shot. LP2 wasn't a great game, exactly, and I'm about 90-percent sure things like 3D vision, lifelike water volume and bullet reaction, and higher resolution bosses won't fix what was broken in the original. But if you're dead set on giving this version a spin, this preview might be a good place to start. The actual requirements are just below.
