inb4 not working on GeForce 6200.

From what I can gather, It's an AGP (deprecated) or PCIe x8 (slow) graphics card with Shader Model 3.0 support (compliant with Microsoft DirectX 9.0c specification and OpenGL 2.0). It would be fine with something like Doom3, but it's certainly well below spec compared to what's in an Xbox360.
If you can even run it at all, it's going to need you to switch off nearly all graphical enhancements.

What about my computer?
AMD phenom™ II X4 Processor 3.20GHz
RAM 4 GB
Win 7 64bits
ATI Radeon HD 4250

I know my computer will run it, but i don't want to play at 800x600 resolution without any graphical enhancements

ATI Radeon HD 45250 does not exist. You may want to fix that typo so I know what that card actually is.
Regardless, the ATI Radeon HD 4000 series is capable of Shader Model 4 (DX11 and OpenGL4.1), which means it will run any current game at the moment. As for performance, not sure, as I don't normally deal with ATI cards. However the bandwidth/clock speeds compared to other cards suggests (don't take my word for it) you should be able to do ~1280x720 with most settings on high/full.

This is also keeping in mind that the Xbox360 version of Unleashed ran at 880x720, and PC's have slower bandwidth/memory access then consoles.

Oh, God. I hope it's true.
Pretty sure I'll be able to run it. Got a GTX 460 SC.

No man. Engie mustache. It's so perfect. Heavy can have Knuckles gloves of death or something.

In any case. I might have to go out and buy a new USB controller. My old one hasn't been working perfect lately.

I recommend buying a wired Xbox 360 controller since it has native support in almost every game on PC. And what I can gather from my Mac Mini is that the PS3's Dualshock 3 and SixAxis controllers also work natively on Mac OS 10.6 and above. I'm just posting regarding Mac as this port has a good chance of being compatible seeing as a lot of other steamplay games are, like most recently, Duke Nukem: Forever, for example.
Also, we can all pretty much assume that Scout NEEDS a Sonic hat.

Early on in the Generations hype-
Huh, Wii is left out. I'll wait for the inevitable Project Cafe port or buy the cruddy 3DS version.

Wii U is announced-
No Wii U version, huh. Well, that's ok! 3DS version!

PC Version is hinted many times-
YES I CAN GET THE MAIN VERSION W00000000T!

PC version is never announced-
That's a shame, but i guess i can get an early model of the XBox 360 really cheap and- oh wow, those are cool JRPGS!

PC Version is all preordered-like-
Shoot, there goes my excuse to get an Xbox. OH LOOK HACKS! NEVER MIND! WHO NEEDS AN XBOX?

That's good to hear. Maybe this indicates SEGA are going to officially unveil this version soon.

It doesn't seem to be on their website yet and GAME has hidden away their listing for the PC version.

Off topic: But I just spotted GameStation is now listing that the game supports 1-2 players on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.

ALSO OFF-TOPIC: Why the crap is up with people and hacking these days! Can't you just enjoy the original game!?

Okay I'm done... No more off-topic posts here...

Of course, we can, but its add a lot of replay value, have you seen the brawl hack comunity? i love brawl, just like it is, but we can hack it to add lot of new stages, music etc etc, the same here, they can add classic tails to play in the main game for exaple, and don't forget about Modern in classic, and classic in modern (with changing some things of the levels here)

Y'know, I think hacking is alright I guess. To me a game should be last gen (or older) to hack. Why? I just feel that people should really enjoy a game on its own for a while, then they can hack it if they please...

Okay, now I'm done with the off-topicness(Like my new word?)... I'll shut it now...

A little off-topic, but Like I've made out before, I'm REALLY hoping for a Mac port of this and there is a good chance it will be (most steamplay games are) but there is quite a lot of doubt, seeing as though sega hardly have any Mac games, the only ones I can think of are Billy Hatcher, the football manager series and spiral knights, there might be a couple more but still that is a low amount of games vs the PC side of things.

Well that's what most modders do =/ Besides when it comes to mods they can drastically improve a game's appeal. Look at Minecraft for example. For Sonic Generations, the potential for fan games in huge. Hell I'm even thinking of making a game from modding Generations when it comes out called 'Classic Sonic: The Lost Worlds'

High end ATI card from 2006? Hard to say really, considering it's now a legacy card (unsupported). With no reported system specs to go by (and if there is a PC version, you aren't going to see them until a month before release), I can't even give you an partial guess. The issue I have with this is that the graphics card has no indication if it runs anything later then DX9c/OGL2.0, and even what Generations will be using (It could use OpenGL 3.3.0 for all I know).
If it does work, you are looking at pretty much base-line performance (You'll have to lower the texture/lighting quality for sure), considering the age of the card.
