Wondering if your ‘rig’ can ‘handle’ Red 5’s upcoming free-to-play shooter Firefall? Is your ‘PC ‘bad’ enough? By which we mean: is it good enough? Well stop wondering and take a look at the freshly revealed minimum and recommended specs for Firefall. The shooter is currently entering the second stage of its closed beta run, having amassed 500,000 players so far. To celebrate, the studio (famously founded by a gaggle of ex-Blizzard devs) are busy throwing out beta invites over on Firefall’s official website. If your ‘machine’ is ‘up to it’, you might consider signing up.

Here’s something way more interesting than PC specs, though. Red 5 Studio’s Jon Olick has been working on an independent project that blends Firefall’s world with reality using canny real-time AR trickery. “It should be known that this is not a real game in development,” Red 5 clarify, “but a prototype and experiment done as a side project, and not by Red 5 Studios.” Check it out below.
