Dead Island PC System Requirements Revealed

Dead Island is built on developer Techland's own proprietary (and very pretty) technology called Chrome Engine 5, which has some impressively requirements considering the beauty/horror of the game. Basically, if your system is, say, up to four years old, you shouldn't have a problem running it. Those would be the minimal requirements, of course, but the recommended requirements are only a small step up from what the game can run on at the most basic settings.
