Yes you can!

But probably not very well... It really depends on your GPU more than your CPU.

The CPU will definitely become a bottleneck on performance, but with a decent GPU it would probably run just fine on an i3 so long as you don't go nuts with scenery or park size. In fact their are a lot of people on here playing it on very low spec computers (you can tell because they upload videos of their coasters running at 5-10 fps) and they still seem to enjoy it well enough.

Why not post full specs? I'm sure someone with a similar system will see them and let you know exactly what to expect.

What are the minimum specs required to play the Planet Coaster alpha?

You will need the following minimum spec in order to play the alpha:

• Windows 7 64bit or newer
• Intel Core i5 -2300, AMD FX-4300 or better
• 8GB Ram
• Nvidia GTX 560 / ATI Radeon 7850 Graphics card with 2GB of Graphics Memory or better

It’s important to remember that this is an alpha and during that process there are both optimisations and new feature additions which can change minimum and recommended specs considerably. So these are likely to change over time.

We’ve had great feedback about how Planet Coaster is already looking, even in alpha. It will improve even further – we are developing a true leading edge AAA game, with high poly counts, sophisticated rendering, a deep simulation, many characters and incredible animations. The higher above the minimum spec your PC is, the more the game will be able to reward you with an improved experience.

But like Deuce said it really depends on your GPU more than your CPU
Mais comme Deuce dit ça dépend plus de ta carte graphique que de ton processeur

Gotta say, that whilst those are sensible min specs I'm willing to bet that it would run just fine on an i3 with half the ram so long as the GPU was up to min specs and you don't mind limiting the size or complexity of your park.

I totally understand Frontier have to list the minimum specs required to play the complete game with a full park - but a lot of people just want to create a single themed coaster at a time and can probably get away with less.

*although personally I think the game is amazing and the years of fun it will offer means it deserves a powerful PC, whatever the cost lol [yesnod]
