A shiny PC screenshot at last, hooray!
With the PC date for Dark Souls 2 now confirmed as 25 April and word that it will support decent framerates and resolutions, what’s the one thing we were still missing? Lovely PC system specs, of course. Namco Bandai has posted some up on their store page (check the system specs tab) for the game, so here there are:

Nothing too unusual or demanding there, although the HD 5870 listed under “minimum” is surely a mistake. It’s better than the 6870 listed under “recommended,” and a lot more powerful than the old 9600GT. Perhaps they meant a 5850, or 4870, or something? I’m not sure.
Anyhow, it looks like fairly old PC hardware will be able to Dark Souls 2 running which is excellent news. Anything from the past couple of years should have it running well.
