Dead Island is built on developer Techland's own proprietary (and very pretty) technology called Chrome Engine 5, which has some impressively requirements considering the beauty/horror of the game. Basically, if your system is, say, up to four years old, you shouldn't have a problem running it. Those would be the minimal requirements, of course, but the recommended requirements are only a small step up from what the game can run on at the most basic settings.
