Basically if your CPU doesn't support SSE 4.1, the game crashes to desktop. Nothing you do can launch it.
This means All AMD Phenom II CPUs and older Intel CPUs don't support this game.

All older CPUs.
I have AMD Phenom XII 1055T and GTX 1060. I can max out Witcher 3, Doom etc on 1080p. But this game won't even start.
So if you have such CPUs, DON'T BUY THE GAME ON PC till it's fixed.
FINAL EDIT:
An experimental beta patch released today has FIXED THE GAME for Phenom II CPUs.
Game runs at 60 fps for me.
Though of creating a separate topic because CTD posts were lost in FPS stutter and tons of other issues.
EDIT:
SSE 4.1 support is the issue confirmed. I tried with SSE 4.1 emulator and game launched.
EDIT 2:
Minimum requirements only said i3. Nothing about SSE 4.1 instructions was mentioned.
AMD Phenom II 1055T beats the crap out of i3 530 in benchmarks:

EDIT 3
Since this situation seems to be too complex for people to understand, here is a great post explaining this issue in layman's terms:
EDIT 4
FIX IS COMING
So Hello Games has accepted SSE 4 as an issue and will be fixing it.

EDIT 5:
Experimental patch is out to make game run on SSE 4.1 non-supported CPUs. However, game requires SSSE 3 which isn't supported on Phenom II.
Developers are blaming them on Havok engine, no idea what version of Havok they are using, as latest games like Dark Souls 3 etc which use Havok work fine on Phenom II.

I don't see why this is so hard for people to wrap their heads around. His CPU IS MORE POWERFUL than some of the older CPUs people are referencing here. The issue he's having has nothing to do with the "power" of the CPU.
Imagine you rock up to a racetrack in your Formula 1 car. Your car is for all intents and purposes the same as all the other cars on the track and even has more horsepower than some. But your car takes diesel fuel, and this particular track doesn't allow diesel fuelled cars to race. So even though you've got more "power", you can't play.
If they had just said "Petrol Only", OP wouldn't even have bothered showing up.

We are going to create an experimental branch with hot fixes for these most common known issues:
• Shader Cache issue – means that framerate is initially stuttering on some cards. Whilst it resolves itself over time (~1 hour of play), we will fix this issue in a patch.
• SSE 4 – for CPUs that do not support SSE 4, it is causing the game to crash on boot (some of these area technically below min spec, but we don’t want it to crash!)
• Mouse controls jitter on foot – this caused by a combination of certain resolution and GFX card. A fix is in progress.
