Bla bla bla.Yes it had potential,like so many things do. "Gaming in the future"? That was 2007 and now is 2011. What has changed? Not much, we still are stuck with the old generation of consoles that limit the PC-game development down to some level of cross-platform development. Still you don't get many games using the nice features and if they do use some,they are limited to other console typical crimes to humanity (like gameplay or menu).The future always is tomorrow, we will never reach it!

This would make for great Microsoft propaganda.

OpenGL can do pretty much the same thing.

DX9 made DX10 its bitch in Crysis 2

Direcy 10 is a load of crap.

That is all. Go ahead and compare games with dx9, no difirence.

@uriituw I LOVE OpenGL. But there aren't many blockbuster games using it, are there? I'd love to see OpenGL become the quasi standard and surpassing DirectX. I can't wait for Rage from id Software.

@PINGASFIST I'm aware of that. As I said: not many. Doesn't mean, there aren't positive examples. And also my rant wasn't meant promoting DirectX or Microsoft. I love OpenGL. I wish it will surpass DirectX by far an become a plattform independent whide spread standard. And that I can see happen with the help of consoles.

But as for now,Magnifiscence is mostly held back and sacrificed for the sake of console sells an cross-plattform development. Even DeusEx:hr got some enoying console features.

@555Reason Crysis was released as a PC exclusive back in 2007. Four years later, there isn't much on Consoles that looks AS GOOD, let alone better. PC power has far surpassed what was necessary to play Crysis, but developers are being held back by consoles, which unfortunately get more sales.

@CmdrTobs Dude that demo is actually for this generation.A demo may not cost nothing at all,but a triple A title will cost a lot to product,hell a rockstar game costs 100 mil dollars.

@sonicblast19 A red herring, probably unintentional because you don't know better.

Better Graphics and better special effects don't scale with cost. In fact the graphics you are seeing in this Demo are better than most games and this Demo is probably non-profit.

Many people like to stamp linear relationships with cost and size where none actually exist.
