Dark Souls: Prepare to Die specs are not-so-scary
by Andrew Yoon, Jun 21, 2012 10:30am PDTFrom Software has been managing expectations for the upcoming PC version of Dark Souls. While fans have long-clamored for a PC port of the hardcore dungeon crawler, the developer admitted it was "having a tough time" optimizing the game for Windows. "First we thought it would be a breeze, but it's turned out not to be the case," producer Daisuke Uchiyama admitted.
Still, having a straight port is probably better than not getting the game at all. And the PC version will include additional content that console gamers will have to pay extra for.
The required specs for Prepare to Die have been revealed (via Eurogamer). They should be in line with what many PC gamers have been expecting:
- OS: Windows XP , Windows Vista, Windows 7, or newer
- Processor: 2.6 GHz Dual-Core
- Memory: 1 GB (XP), 2GB (Vista/7)
- Hard Disk Space: 4 GB
- Video Card: 512 MB RAM, ATI Radeon 4850 or higher, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or higher
DirectX®: 9.0c
Dark Souls' PC release may not be the jaw-dropping DirectX 11 experience we want it to be, but PC gamers that want the franchise to continue on the platform would be wise to support this release. Who knows? Perhaps From Software will be able to learn for their next game.

“PC gaming for us as a company, Namco Bandai, is a renewed focus. What you’re going to be seeing, starting with Star Trek [and Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition], [is that we’re bringing other games to PC]. Why? Because PC gamers love games. PC gamers deserve the best, so that’s why we’re spending a lot of time with NVIDIA, who have a good expertise in making the best hardware available in the PC world, so if you look at Star Trek, that collaboration helps make sure we’re maximizing the power. Games like Star Trek will play the best on the NVIDIA platform.”
So in short I hope they have a new mandate and they did say DS is part of this movement, we will see.
