We know that a lot of our fans have been extremely patient and waiting on the PC version of Red Faction Guerrilla and that an official date hadn't been set in stone. Today that changes, as we've locked down our release dates, which you can see below. North America: September 15th International: September 11th We're still finalizing the digital distribution partners for each region, and once that is all written out, I'll be sure to pass along that information as well. In addition to the release dates, below are the minimum and recommended specifications to run RFG PC: Recommended:

OS: Windows Vista® for DirectX® 10
CPU: 3.2 GHz Dual-Core Processor (Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon X2)
Memory: 2 GB RAM / 15 GB of Hard Drive space
Video Card: 256 MB 3D Video Card w/Shader Model 3.0 Support (Nvidia GeForce 8800/ATI Radeon HD3850)

Note: If you're going to play Multiplayer on Games For Windows Live, we highly encourage each individual to be running a "Recommended" spec computer or higher. Minimum:

OS: Windows XP / Vista
CPU: 2.0 GHz Dual-Core Processor (Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon X2)
Memory: 1 GB RAM / 15 GB of Hard Drive space
Video Card: 128 MB 3D Video Card w/Shader Model 3.0 Support (Nvidia GeForce 7600/ATI Radeon X1300)

We hope all of you are looking forward to RFG on PC in a few months, and here's a few screenshots as well, taken on a recommended spec system running DirectX® 10.

The way this is worded makes it sound like there will be other ways to play MP other than GFWL. Is this the case?

No that is not the case. GFWL is required just like the 360 version requires LIVE.

Is GFWL required to play the game at all? Or just online MP?

Just MP. But for SP, if you don't sign into a profile you won't get achievements (if you care about them).

Is it required to sign in to GFWL when you are playing on LAN?
I'm asking this because it would be a nice game in LAN-parties that are hosted without Internet connection.
