Leaked StarCraft II system specs turn out not to be official
The other day, Spanish gaming magazine Micromania leaked what it believed to be official minimum and recommended system specs for Blizzard's highly anticipated StarCraft II.
The specs called for a Pentium 4 or better processor, 2 GB of system memory, and a GeForce 7/8 or Radeon 1000/2000 series video card with at least 256 MB of video memory. Those specs were arguably steep for a Blizzard game; traditionally the company has kept the entry level very low for its products, so as many people as possible could buy and enjoy them.
Blizzard has since contacted various media outlets and denied that the specs are official, saying: "Blizzard has not released final, official system requirements for StarCraft II. The numbers you're seeing are a result of independent speculation from a Spanish game magazine." This should come as a relief in particular to Blizzard enthusiasts who are gaming on low-end or mid-range laptops.
