007: First Light may not be the choppy, stuttering overextender of gratuitous explosi-pixels that its big action reveal led us to believe. The official PC system requirements are out, and they’re very reasonable indeed, only asking for old mid-range graphics cards and merely halfway decent CPUs. Could IO Interactive have delayed their young Bond adventure to May 27th so as to polish up performance, especially around the more Brosnan-era detonationfests in that footage? Maybe, maybe not. But at least you won’t need John Cleese to build you a machine that can run it.
