Pretty sure we would, since it uses the same engine and half the world still uses xp, me including

System requirements: a Sony Playstation 3 computer entertainment system or Microsoft Xbox 360.

Is that supposed to be some elusive jibe at PC gamers?

It's supposed to be a hint at the fact that minimum system requirements will stay same.

It certainly won't be DX11-only, it might be supported for extra features but not as a minimum requirement. As far as I know, there aren't any games yet that require it.

It runs on Vista too, so it only needs DX10.

Considering how console fans are usually the ones to start console wars, then yes.

Well, it has no real logical standing.  For all we know, it could be more demanding, or better optmised and less demanding. It could be built with the consoles at the forefront and be not very demanding or very good looking, or built with the consoles in mind first and ported terrilbly. I understand Bioware said it was co-developed, but it's just buzz talk most of the time.

They've already told that they're using same engine (modified) and it's already multiplatform. So, I don't think it's buzz talk.

Which side I'm on depends entirely on which game I'm playing, so I can objectively say I see it equally from both sides.

Err, sorry for rewarming this thread, but I am really thinking on preordering the Signature Edition of DA2, but I can't find a set of reliable System Specs and I naturally don't want to order something my no doubt aged Laptop can't run.

As for my laptop specs, just in case any BioWare official wants more info (or anyone else that has confirmed data):

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 (2GHz, 800Mhz FSB)
Graphic-Card: Nvidia 8600m GT (256mb) (15,4" Display)
Hardrive space will be enough.


I can run Dragon Age Origins without major problems on High Graphics, so if Dragon Age 2 really doesn't take much more on my PC like for Example ME2 did with ME1, then please tell me.

I can't remember where but I think one from Bioware, probably Priestly, said you'd be able to run DA2 on the same computer as you ran DA:O, and that should mean that at least the minimun requirements won't change. I for one really hope so since I'm a poor student without a tech-friend nearby (nearest one is half the globe away).

That's what heard/read somewhere too and after having witnessed how perfectly ME2 runs on my Laptop with so much more polished graphics than ME1 without putting my PC to noticably more strain, I am fully convinced those guys can do it.
But some more definitive information would be great, as for the reason I stated in my previous post and I think I do not stand alone on that matter.

So BioWare, some clarification would be great! Thanks.

P.S.: I just found out that Gamestop.de sells the Signature Edition for 69.99€ that is ten Euro more than in the US and darn expensive! (I did the maths, and they are charging us for the equlivalent of 98,57 US$. That is ridicilously expensive! At least Amazon has a decent price of 46.90€.)

I think (!) they are still working on some parts of graphics and animations, so the requirements might not be final yet. Once they are, they'll announce them, I'd say. Until then, if your PC/Laptop can run DA:O and as you say, ME2, I don't think you'd have a problem.

My advice would be, pre-order the signature edition and once BW announces the requirements, either cancel it or be happy that pre-ordered :D

No BioWare comment? Can't I persuade (Persuasion Check: (Coercion Level-) 4*25 + (10-42 (Cunning))) you into giving some informations/decisive implications?

I'm sure the system requirements for DAII will be a little bit higher considering screenshots released so far have more detail than Origins. My personal opinion, anyone playing Origins on settings less than high/highest should upgrade if you want to really enjoy future games.

It's gonna run on consoles and *probably* won't look that much better on PC (I'm pretty sure PC once again will only get the low to medium res textures consoles get -just as with ME1+2) so system requirements will probably be rather moderate.

Just in case any technic-weary people are in here that know more about PC system performances and all that stuff, I hereby repost my Laptops game important stats (in case anything important is missing, it's just prove I am by far not techy enough, just tell me). All I know is that my good ole' (two-three years old) wire-pal quite a decent machine for my needs, but is it still decent enough in technical terms as off now?

So, has anyone seen anything "official" yet? Sure would be nice to know if I need to ask for a new PC for Xmas, or at least a new graphics card;) I've got to assume DA2 PC reqs are not going to be the same as DAO, otherwise wouldn't they just announce them as such?

Don't forget that the official requirements for DA: O are inaccurate.  Bioware and EA are hardware-stupid, always have been.  The "Minimum" graphics named were screwier than all get-out.  A Radeon X850 was a very fast graphics card, and closely trailed by the X800, also quite fast, but neither one was fully Dx9.0"c" capable, only managing the "b" shaders in SM-3, and AMD had dropped all of the Xn00s other than the 850s from their driver updates support list.  All of the upper cards had the same Dx9.0"b", and with Omega's drivers, all can at least start DA:O (X700, X800, X850).  

The Geforce 6600GT only had 128 MBs of VRAM, maximum, so in its own way it was limited to small textures, like the X800 / X850, but was very much slower, really too slow, unless at reduced resolutions. 

Video: ATI Radeon X850 256MB or greater (this is clearly wrong)
NVIDIA GeForce "6600 GT" 128MB or greater (and this one is more wrong)

(Note: IMO, the practical choices for the two video cards above should be the Radeon X800 Pro, and the Geforce 6800 GS, at least, for small textures - it will take a Radeon X1650 XT (or X1800 GTO, same thing, almost) for medium or better textures)
