I may need to upgrade my videocard since I have a Radeon HD 5770.

It seems like this is going to be one MASSIVE game! 20 GB of data is twice that of AVP 2010. Skyrim was only 6GB. I wonder how long this game is going to be.

It's not just pure action or pure horror. It's uniquely Aliens.

Also, they said the campaign is 10+ hours.

No unique DX11 features makes me sad.
Oh well, I'm still going to pick it up, just Rebellion had much more PC love in their hearts.

Wow 20GB installation!?  Thats heavy. I know most games have their cutscene take up the most memory. There must be something interesting going on here.

All the attention to detail must be the reason.

Graffiti scratched into shotguns don't come cheap!

on Steam Borderlands 2 says 20gb Too but the folder is only 7,29 GB big

Is that before or after installation?

Odd.  20GB and 8GB is a pretty big difference.

Very low requirements - ULTRA HIGH settings here!  Well.. lets hope the next ACM game will be under DX10/11 only. I guess GBX are living 5-6 year behind, DX9 is 10 years old..
