Cool Will this be capable?


So, as well all know, PS2 is coming out, and plenty of us are attempting to purchase new computers for the occasion!
However, some of the more unfortunate ones of us, must wait a while to get this game because our PC's possibly just won't stand up to the test/ we just don't have the money or some such.
(I will be getting a much better PC hopefully in the near future)

Of course, if I'm still up to date, we still don't know what the requirements are going to be. HOWEVER, there are plenty of educated guesses flying around the forums as to what we'll need, and this is where my question is directed!

I purchased a laptop a little while back for a multitude of reasons, and it turns out I've actually managed to be able to play plenty of games here and there on it. For the educated ones of us, who thinks these specs may work for the lower end settings of the game?
(I'm pretty much a complete idiot when it comes to these things, so go easy on me :c)

CPU: AMD A8-3500M APU
CPU Speed: 1.5 GHz Performance Rated at: 3.75 GHz
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6620G
RAM: 6 GB

(EDIT: So, to sum it much better, seeing as I was all over the place while typing this:
Will I possibly be able to play this game on lower settings in the meantime until I get my new computer, or should I just wait for the new PC?)

Probably can run low anyway. Not sure of what resolution. Like I said before its hard to judge as we've only seen this run on high end hardware. We haven't seen the lower end graphic settings yet.

You can try playing it anyway. Its F2P, you're not going to be spending $50 to get it.

AMD's APUs have considerably higher graphics than Intel (even the latest Intel HD 4000). You probably will be able to play it on at least low setting at your laptop's native resolution. I have a PC equipped with an A6-3650 (Radeon HD 6530D graphics), which I originally bought as a work-oriented type machine (document writing, mostly, type of stuff), but it turned out I can actually play games like TF2 and Dirt 3 at maxed out setting at 1600x900. This laptop should do you well until you can get your hands on some more powerful hardware.

Yeah but only a little bit better. In a test I read the other week, most cases you're better off going with an el-cheapo discrete card and intel's cheapest i3.

Desktop, yeah, but he already has the laptop and was wondering if it would run at all.
