The Need For Speed franchise is one of the most well-established racing game series of all time, thanks to Electronic Arts, which has taken care of it for quite some time and has created a loyal fan base for it.

Sadly, in recent years, things haven't been going so well for the brand, which saw many of its fans adopt other titles, like Race Driver: GRiD or Burnout Paradise. But the large publisher has big plans and revealed at the beginning of the year that three new NFS titles would appear in 2009.

Out of them, Need For Speed Shift is among the most highly anticipated, as it promises to deliver one of the most realistic but at the same time fun experiences in the entire NFS history. Developed by Slightly Mad Studios, it will feature a lot of interesting things, including a Driver Profile system that will change in real time the way other opponents view the player and how they react to him.

Now, we have some very good news for everyone looking forward to this game, which will appear on the PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PlayStation Portable, as NFSplanet posted a set of PC requirements for the game. Bear in mind that these aren't official, but you might expect them to be very close to these specifications.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
