The Last Remnant PC demo, system requirements and benchmark available

Earlier today I got an email from Square Enix about The Last Remnant's PC version, and that demos for both the European and North American release are now available for download.

The Euro version of the demo is at The Official European Last Remnant Site. Since it's an European demo, it probably has some additional language options for you Italian, Spanish and German folks.

Additionally, both the North American and the European demos are available from FilePlanet. Both demos are about 1GB in size, so I don't know what exactly is the difference between them, but I guess the NA version also has some additional language options.

Minimum and recommended system requirements for the game have also been released. I copied these from the demo's ReadMe file, don't blame me if they are not accurate. tongue

In case your PC is kind of good but you are not quite sure if it can hack it, wonder no longer. They also released a benchmark utility to go with the system requirements, so you can test your rig before making the plunge. The benchmark utility is also available from both the North American site and the European site and its size is about 274MB.
