Ah so you mean bare minimum to run the full-feature engine. Which is kind of a oxy-moron but yea I getcha.
I would still say that's jumping the guns a bit. Interview says DX11 Gpus are the targets and things get interesting on 1+Tflop class HW. I doubt its top level performance but that comment suggests that it could be anywhere in the low-high setting scale.
i supposed but it doesn't sound like that would jive with their speech about not releasing next gen until it's an order of magnitude better. How they have these grand visions and will be held back by the hw if it's too weak. And let's face it, 1TF isn't that impressive.
I think 1TF is basically "minimum requirements" for UE4 in PC lingo. It's not much if PS4 is pushing 2TF and many inexpensive gaming PCs will have 6+ Tflops by the time UE4 hits its stride in 2015-2016.
The "reduced" version for smart phones might run on the same tool set but I expect the graphics to look more like UE3+.
