Lost Planet: DirectX10 vs. DirectX 9

It seems everyone has been waiting for the first DirectX 10-capable game to appear, anything really. Windows Vista has been available for almost half a year, and we've been wasting our GeForce 8800 GTX's precious GPU performance on pedestrian DirectX 9 games since last November. Gamespot initially expected Crysis or Company of Heroes, or maybe even Supreme Commander (which is no longer coming), to be the first game to introduce us to Windows Vista's DirectX 10 world, but patch delays and ever-moving release windows have let Lost Planet, a port of an Xbox 360 game, grab the spotlight.

Hmm, this comparison isn't nearly as obvious as the previous one. At points even the DX9 looked better (prefer the glare on the first pic). Seems like we'll have to wait until the big DX10 guns arrive.

Rooted_Dust6194d ago

They said they were only using DX10 to make it run faster, but from the benchmark tests it didn't even do that. This could be the end of easy ports from not-quite DX10 360 to DX10 PC and vice versa.

gta_cb6194d ago

you know what titles are coming out?

Cartesian3D6194d ago

Lostplanet is a DX9 game (in tech)... Doom3 with more polygons will looks way better than this.. anyway it looks nice ..

and another subject... WTF?8800GTX cant handle this crap game(compare to Crysis).. what about CRYSiS !! Im crying ... I must buy another Graphic card for handling CRISYS... I want more than 50FPS in high res and high quality... :(

xg-ei8ht6194d ago

I'm not really sure what people want from directx10.

The man that designed dx, wasnt very impressed with vista at all. Hence slower fps vs dx9.

In all truth 98% of fx in dx10 can be done in dx9, but slightly slower.

And the people moaning about 50fps, your the ones who download 3dmark06 get a good score and think your system is amazing.

3dmark is crud, always has been, always wil be.

1)question in default settings, in 3dmark06, what fps do you get in deep freeze.

Reason i ask, is, nothing is going on, and lost planet blows that away with ease.

Think there is a difference between games MADE for DX10 and games that "ADD" DX10...

Resident Evil 2 2019 launches in a few short weeks and it looks, and plays, amazing. Capcom has taken the classic and renowned title and not only modernized the visuals but added new content to keep the experience fresh for veterans who played the original. But there are some games that deserve the same treatment from Capcom. Here are 5 games from Capcom that deserve the Resident Evil 2 2019 treatment.

Not another one of these “treatment” articles

darthv721945d ago

Remasters are still popular so... yeah.

I personally like when there are remastered compilations. More than just remaking one game but to take a couple (or more) in a series and remake them as one nice compilation. Viewtiful Joe comes to mind. to have a full remake of all the games on one disc would be sweet.

I know many want to see Powerstone come back (as do I) but i'd go even deeper into their vault and bring back darkstalkers, cyberbots or even project justice / rival schools combo.

FallenAngel19841945d ago

This isn’t a remaster it’s a remake

galmi1946d ago

well for me there's
dino crisis
clock tower
haunting ground
resident evil 3
the whole onimusha series (except 4)
chaos legion
crimson tears
ring of red

PapaBop1946d ago

Imagine Clock Tower done in a similar style to RE7 in first person with VR support.. that would be so so damn good.

SuperDuke12901946d ago

That would be superawesome

JonTheGod1946d ago

I loved Haunting Ground. Very underrated.

Adexus1946d ago

Onimusha instantly came to mind.

JonTheGod1946d ago

Already happening (although it's a remaster as opposed to a remake).

Adexus1945d ago

Yeeeah, I definitely wouldn't say that's nearly on the level the RE2 Remake is.

monkey6021946d ago (Edited 1946d ago )

This is a horrible list!
There are a load of titles far more deserving of a remaster than these picks. Seriously ! Dead Rising, Lost Planet and Dragons Dogma aren't even old games and have had recent sequels already!

Top of the list should be Dino Crisis,
I'll accept Resi 3 because I'm hoping that happens.
Clock tower and Haunting Ground are good choices too, It would be nice to be able to get them for a non extortionate rate.

Shadow of Rome was an amazing game and I'd love a remaster or new entry but I genuinely don't think they'd get away with it today unless it was massively toned down

Vetalka831946d ago

Resident Evil 3 yes,Dino Crisis games?Yes.Onimusha 2 hell yes.never got to play Powerstone properly so yeah i would love to see it remade,others on that list i just dont care about.
