Whoops, forgot to mention: Chris Taylor himself said that he was using a “5 year old computer” to play the game during the gameplay trailer.

It should be noted that SC2 runs much smoother and is less extensive on the system than SC1. If you’re still having doubts however, you can pick up the demo off of Steam and see for yourself.

My 2.0ghz Core 2 Duo Macbook with GForce 9400M plays SC 1 pretty well as long as you don’t try using an additional display, and you have the detail turned down pretty medium-ish. The game is 1-2 years older than this machine though (not sure how may laptops, if any, could run SC1 well when it was released) so I assume I’ll have a similar wait for SC2.

I’m in the same boat you are. My quad-core PC can barely run Supreme Commander 1, and while I’d love to play the sequel and get a good look at the next generation of everyone’s favorite post-scarcity economy construction robots, I don’t want to spend 300 bucks on a graphics card capable of of playing the game at 15 FPS at low resolution.

I’d love to play this (big fan of Total Annihilation and SC1) but like with every sequel to a PC game, you need to spend hundreds of dollars on a new computer for each installment.

Maybe when I get my new Macbook…in 2012…

SupCom felt more like a real-time Civ to me, and I hated how easily the Experimental units were beat considering how much time was invested building it.

It should be noted this is a much more tactical game. Less focus on base building and more on action. Everything just seems to go faster. The maps are smaller. I liked the base building and more complex gameplay from Supcom1 but Supcom2 has its place as well. I just wish there were more units and much larger maps. Atleast twice the size. It definately feels like a cross between Supcom and Demigod.
