Game Developers Share Their Thoughts on DirectX 11

[DamarSweetness]

the programmer is the only one who even remotely knows what he is talking about

[iXzybitionz]

God i want that gaming chair at 0:10 !!

[LoboLoko007]

so is DirectX 11 will be abe to run on other gaming platforms like "PS3, Wii ir MAC OS" like OpenGL can at some extent as it is platforms-independent?, I think DirectX 11 is only going to be able to run on Windows OS and the Xbox360.

what about the new API "XNA"?

[AndyHarglesis]

DirectX and OpenGL both are horrendous.

My own self-made graphics library is much better

[xxslayer66xx]

@gamer1337omg Fuck consoles all they do is hold the gaming world back.

[Usul573]

@xxslayer66xx

And help them sell enough games to make money..........

[leerman22]

Where's Jabba the Hut I mean Gabe Newell?

[basbas63]

lotro has done 2 cool things with dx11 and in dirt2 you see no difference when racing...

[DusttwoDust]

@THEHOLYSPLIFF Uhm, have what? Nvidia has directx 11 :S the GTX series! ^^ lol

[nexus1g]

@DusttwoDust GTX series are not DX11 compatible unless they're 400 or 500 series cards.

[Usul573]

Vastly?

LOL

You can barely tell the difference.

At least so far.

[xxslayer66xx]

@Usul573 You seriously cant tell the difference I mean look at all of the games for directx 11 they are all simply stunning tessellation is the biggest improvement in graphics in along time.

[Usul573]

@xxslayer66xx

It's a subtle effect, even the professional reviewers say this.



[j7x54]

why are they not putting out more dx11 games if they think it is so good not just put out dx9 and dx10 games

[5687678]

These people don't really have much arguments to work on. DirectX 11 is still in its early stage.

[Twistedlogic56]

don't see much point in directx11 imo, Directx10 hardware will work with directx11 games you just don't get the directx11 features most of the games people are playing are still directx9, directx10 was hardly worth the upgrade at all since not allot of games took it to its fullest and its the same with Directx11 sure there are some nice features but the only reason to upgrade to a Directx11 GPU is if you want the performance gain over your old GPU

[FinalConflict99]

ha its all of the smooth corners and big blown up things..

look at unchartred 2 that game is beyond good even fable 3 looks better.

wouldnt mind if they put this hard wear in xbox360 & ps3

[tFighterPilot]

Why are they showing WoW? I doubt it would look any different.

[EasternMerchant]

I seee so many improvements is texture detail and efficiency, but what about lighting? I dream of a day when they implement

"Unbiased Stochastic Progressive PHoton Mapping"!!! then Fantasy will finally be Reality!

[jase874]

yeah i think ill do what the last guy said and buy every direct x 11 game there is coz "they're the best"! yeahhh awsome, i didnt realise thats what dx was all about, i thought it is graphics/physics but according to this video its actually a measure of awsomeness. gareth made the most effort to actually explain the benefit of dx11 in his first comment, the rest just said the same thing, as everyone else has said, typical marketing bullshit, well it didnt work on me

[lenowin]

Obvious BS from these idiots, they're smiling while they say it because they know they're fulla shit. Focus on gameplay instead of lolwoopwn graphics.

[TiKiMaN3000]

@AnnoyedDragon  - Just google "directx 11 games" wiki has a list of the current games and upcoming games that will be including dx11..

love you google

[emob0mb]

... I am not impressed.

[Rammkopf]

Outta boy, Gareth! That guy ... HAS ... SPOKEN! The 3 other clowns they put on there said nothing but generic crap. It's always so sad when you have nothing to say but idle words of marketing bullshit and NOTHING REAL to MAKE you actually BUY the product. "DX11 games will be THE BEST games you can get" - bullshit! Is it just me or do most game devs really become more and more desperate and pathetic by the year, eh?! oO

[part2themovie]

it's because graphics were the pinnacle of product differentiation, now even physics is standard and they have completely forgotten avout game play on their quest for realism.

[pinglauwa]

@THEHOLYSPLIFF I think it's because their GPU's don't support it yet.

[powerslayer94]

LOTRO !!

[neoduke007]

the improvements are there but seriously when you play AVP on maxed out without DX11 features enabled it hardly looks any less good than with the dx11 stuff enabled.

and lol wtf Lord of the Rings online... and dungeon whatever, those games have NO dx11 features at all...

[PeePulz]

i just got a 4890 which doesnt support dx11 so i will proably wait to dx12 or dx13 comes out lol

[deltaphillip]

hell, me too maybe, i was going to buy a HD5000 series but, super high-end boards are aparently out of my bugget

[scratchyrice]

Lol just like dx10 was supposed to be a mega improvement, And turned out to be a pile of shit.

[ashwinvbs]

directx 10 was possibly THE largest overhaul of graphics apis since the comception of shaders in directx 8.

dx10 introduced the unified shading model which exposed the graphics pipeline directly via the unified shader model.

and my dear fellow.. if not for ur ignorance and arrogance.. you will appreciate it.

[scratchyrice]

@ashwinvbs I never said it wasn't. All i said is it was rubbish. I'm a game engine developer and so i use directx/opengl api's on a day to day basis. So when i say these things, I say it from experience and not " if not for ur ignorance and arrogance" as you say. Sure directx10 was a huge overhaul programaticly wise, But there was a speed DECREASE in comparison to the fixed function pipeline setup, And without the convenience of the fixed function pipeline. Completely useless.

[nine32]

DirectX11 and ATI are both great, but this was a pure marketing video lol

[fathead894]

Why didn't they mention the frost bite engine? BF:BC2 is the only game I know of coming out with DX11 I'm excited about (Don't really know anything about AvP so we'll see there).

[aberkae]

AvP is one game im hyped about , along with Crysis 2?, Battlefield bad company 2, are a few other fps im psyched about, go go ATI partners push for API advancement, Nvidia is sleeping with fermi out only in march the earliest

[Jtrjacktheripper]

what bs

[labobo]

i wonder how much cash those people got for saying all that.....

facts: directx 11 is better but not as good as they say it is.

they are making a chicken out of a feather

sigh....

[Maholain]

@labobo Then you obviously no nothing about game development.

[labobo]

@Maholain it's called hype and PR and you ate it up like to fool you are without verifying, didn't you

You obviously know nothing about the real world and that people lie and bend the truth

[Maholain]

@labobo Well you are talking to the person who developed in DirectX... so you are those Microsoft haters who ate up the FUD from your OpenGL buddies, didn't you? Yes, you did.

[Renax111]

@labobo you just don't know quality

[labobo]

@Renax111 Actually i do and it's rare as 30 year old virgins

[Renax111]

@labobo Then you would appreciate the extra shadows and tessellation one gain from dx11!

[labobo]

@Renax111 Too little too late not to mention many games that "support" dx11 doesn't use those features so they are basically a dx9 game

[hybr1dium]

This video has pub and markting written all over the place...

[AnnoyedDragon]

Hmm, I wonder what those twenty games are, only know a hand full right now.
