Let's hope they finally have included (some) multicore support (which I've tongue-in-cheek asked for 2 years back). With pretty much everybody running multicore cpu's these days, there a big performance benefit (ie. AI, prefetching/preloading). This all ran on a single core for SH4... If they have, one might get away with a 2-3 year old rig (although you'd likely have to run at lower then optimal resolutions). [edit] whooptiedoooptie, I see maerean_m hinted about multicore \o/

All the new/extra interiors don't worry me too much. So many games are capable of rendering entire worlds that I don't see why extra interior space compared to SH4 would cause a heavy strain on current or somewhat older hardware. I'm pretty sure they have rewritten this part of the engine (I tend to think they redid a whole lot more, pretty much a new engine) just to make it work because the legacy code (SH3/SH4) doesn't seem up to the job.

But it's quite obvious that modern/new hardware is recommended if you want to enjoy the full beauty of any new game...
