I guess yes, but it will run smoothly only with low/medium details.

The art style is arguably the best I've seen in a very, very long time - and they have the technology to back it up.

Graphics looks amazing, I just hope the gameplay is fun, especially the combat.

Last time I checked the attacked lacked weight and impact with "meh" hit detection.

Great graphics, but I can't help but feel that the recommended requirements are a little steep considering how it looks

GTX260 and HD4850 aren't that steep. Hell, in screens they're using DX11+Tessellation--which neither of those cards supports. A quad and a mid-range card from three years ago seems pretty fair. :D

With the DX11 features they are including, at the very maximum (which is were the recommended reqs should lie), especially with AA, you will need a pretty hefty, current card to run this well.

Way to sell the visuals of Trine 2 short by posting a fucking artwork. I agree that the game has a 'better' artstyle though, even if only because this game isn't going for pure stylistic visuals, where as Trine is very stylized in it's aesthetic. And they both look technically very sharp too.

That looks like they pulled it right off the WoW art panels. I think we're gonna be hard pressed for a "new" fantasy art direction.
