Is cool and all but how about making more DX10 games that really take advantage of the spec and current hardware. Instead most tend to be slower then DX9 with very little graphical difference. Note I said most but not all as there are some gems out there.

The Lazy One5510d ago

DX11 is supposed to be what DX10 should have been. Just like Windows 7 is supposed to be what Vista should have been.

NRG5510d ago (Edited 5510d ago )

I loved the dust/fluid/smoke video. Imagine technology like that in Forza or Gran Turismo. I'd do nothing but drifting and power sliding all day.

Physics related stuff like this, is definitely not entirely possible in 10.

DeadlyFire5508d ago

ATI also has a card coming with DirectX 11 in July.

Microsoft likes to overwrite its past with new things.

Kakkoii5506d ago

@DeadlyFire: Care to site you source? Because I have heard nothing of this, and I'm very into the GPU scene. I know there's on coming in Q4 or late Q3. But not as early as you said.

Otherwise PC gaming be screwed... Ive built PC's probably longer than most of you have been alive and ive never seen this much power with this few games. Not to mention the games that are good are on consoles 99% of the time and its just easier sitting at the couch. Guess you can use the 360 adapter which actually works well for a lot of games but consoles have just become easier.

PC use to have such better graphics it was hard to ignore. Now you can really push consoles close enough to PC's that it doesnt matter.

Nvidia or ATI need to open their own game section. It would make PC gaming sooo much better. You have engineers working right aside the programmers and artists it would be a magical pair.

IcarusOne5510d ago

Very impressive. I hope this is coming to consoles.

DeadlyFire5508d ago

It will be in consoles in 2010/2011. In the PS4/X720 or whatever. Maybe in new Nintendo console. Who knows.

Cyb3r5510d ago

@ IcarrusOne I would expect it to come to the Xbox720 or PS4 hopefully they will achieve CG like graphics by then

TheIneffableBob5510d ago

Sony probably wouldn't use a Microsoft API for their console.

evrfighter5510d ago

and even then physx is owned by nvidia. Which means If Sony or M$ don't go to nvidia as their graphics standard. No, console players won't be seeing this unless they shell out some major dough for it.

DeadlyFire5508d ago

Sony could use Intel's new Ray Tracing API. It emulates DirectX and Open GL so it could allow for DirectX 11 games to work on the PS4 as well. I can see quick ports possible.

Physx may be owned by NVIDIA, but Intel has Havok and ATI also supports Havok.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's Scope Was Impacted by Xbox Series S Limitations

Wccf tech writes: "Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's scope was impacted by the Xbox Series S hardware limitations, as developers could only make a game that was 25% bigger than its predecessor."

This is the issue with things like this

Xbox Series X is apparently to MS the worlds most powerful console

However the Series S is obviously a limitation because it’s underpowered and developers have to go for parity.

So what’s the point of the world’s most powerful console if you are holding third party developers back? They aren’t going to push themselves if they have to think about the weakest console.

The issue wouldn’t be as bad if it was just Xbox but you are also affecting the PS version aswell

I think developers need to start just taking advantage of a console and if one of them can’t do X Y and Z then f*** them…why should the others suffer. What’s MS going to do? The bigger the franchise the least chance MS are going to tell them to f*** off. Baulders Gate 3 seemed to have stood their ground and suddenly their “strict” parity rule didn’t really matter. We suddenly got super optimisation efforts for the Series S that got things sorted.

anast7h ago

I agree, and the sad part is use normal folk saw it the second they announced their plans.

Abear213h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Agree 100% this is why I didn’t want the M$ Monopoly, now PS5 version will be held back too.

If PS5 Pro comes out and Series S is still a thing it’ll be interesting what differences and what devs choose to do. Really hoping Rockstar pushes the PS5 pro with GTA6 and we get the best version possible.

outsider16241h ago

Good ole S indeed. Everyone knew this all along. S was holding games back...Now where the hell is Orchard i want a word with him.

More info from the author of the article, I think: https://www.reddit.com/r/ki...

Quote:
"1) I was told this info from the producer of the game Martin Klíma.
2) He specifically said the game will have only one mode.
3) And this mode is 4K 30 on PS5/XSX and 1440p 30 on XSS.
4) He said that the game is already running north of the 30 FPS cap so the performance should be stable on launch, much better than KCD1.
5) The limitation was XSS because of the 10GB memory. He said that's why they wanted to make the game 25% larger.
6) Speculation on my part: the output resolution is probably upscaled and the reason why there won't be a 60 FPS mode is because it'll most likely be very CPU heavy, like Dragon's Dogma 2 for example."

Doesn't seem like they're adding a 40fps mode on PS5/Series X for launch even if they can handle it.

Sgt_Slaughter7h ago

I'd much rather have 1440p/60fps or even 45fps. Having just one, even with the Series S in mind, is disappointing.

franwex6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Remember when xbots were adamant that the series s won’t hold back the gen?

Microsoft just needs to let go of the mandatory parity. Who cares if your grandma doesn’t understand that a game cannot be played on the S. It’s not like it she can buy you a physical game for it anyway. Before buying the game put up a notice that it only works on series X. If you’re buying for a friend-allow for a refund.

Bam. Everyone is happy. Most series s owners are for casuals that want Game Pass anyway and most likely don’t purchase most games.

If the developers want it to run on S, let them figure it out.

Chocoburger34m ago

If it were Series X only then they'd only be selling to 25% of the Xbox Series userbase, and that's certainly not worth the time and effort into doing a port. Could just do PS5 & PC instead. No compromises needed.

Jin_Sakai6h ago

“During the event, the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 producer also revealed that on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the game will run at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second“

Another “creative decision” right? 🤦‍♂️

IHateNate5h ago

Amateur hour. Very incapable developer.

Outside_ofthe_Box5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Since you're not an amateur and clearly know more than them, can you over there and help get the game running on the S without having to sacrifice their true vision. Us gamers would really appreciate you using your wisdom for good 🙏

IHateNate5h ago

Thousands of games run just fine on S.

But Kingdom Come is the game that can’t. Must be one hell of a game!

franwex3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Thousands of games run on PS4 and on Switch. If developers want them to run on those systems. Fine. Those two platforms still get new games. Sony isn’t making studios also make a ps4 pro version, or Nintendo a wiiu version. Microsoft technically is.

IHateNate2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

If games like Alan Wake 2, GTA6, COD, hellblade all run on S, no excuse for this 100x smaller and 100x worse looking game to be held back.

outsider16241h ago(Edited 1h ago)

"Thousands of games run just fine on S.

But Kingdom Come is the game that can’t. Must be one hell of a game!"

Kingdom come 2 runs just fine alright. Its the SCOPE that they want. They had to cut it because of the stupid S series. Hellblade2 ran just fine too..but im pretty confident if it was just the X in mind, the scope of the game would have been much bigger.

IHateNate1h ago

So their scope is greater than that of GTA6 and warzone? Wow. Crazy
