A new trailer has been released for horror game Caffeine.
In a somehow “calm-before-the-storm” tweet war, Brad Wardell and Dylan Browne discussed which game was actually the first one that took advantage of Microsoft’s new API.
Who gives a $hit? Both games look very average at best, Caffeine looks like a mediocre Alien Isolation ripoff and Ashes of the singularity looks like Supreme Commander Forged Alliance with more things on screen. And people will most likely care when AAA games are the ones implementing DX12 technology.
At least it shows the relevancy of DX12 that people are fighting over being the first!
Can't wait for DX12 to really hit Xbox One and PC with lots of content. It 's going to be great!!!
@crash:
No. It will benefit any system that has a multi-core CPU and is bound by CPU. DX12 is very efficient at distributing CPU load which is a lot as evident by MS choice to up the clock on the CPU on Xbox One after careful analysis.
Of course it also has other GPU features as the first DX to focus on performance.
So yeah, this will be great for PC gamers as well as Xbox One gamers!
It's all in the terminology. Many older cards 'fully support' DX12 but no card on the market today is fully DX12 compliant.
That simply means many NVIDIA / AMD cards will be able to run games using the DX12 API but currently no dedicated GPU will use it's full feature set.

The table "Direct3D 12 optional feature support matrix by vendor/GPU series" shows feature set compliance.
Incandescent Imaging announced today that science fiction adventure title Caffeine – Episode One is the first DirectX 12 title to be released.
Yeap, we need more games that support both APIs (DX11 and DX12) in order to see whether there are actual performance benefits
VRFocus reports on Incandescent Imaging's episodic sci-fi horror title Caffeine, which has just released Episode One to the Steam digital content platform.
Can't wait for this.

I wasn't sure whether this was serious or not. I guess it is. It reminded me of Alien..... Ah.... Whatever it was called. Isolation! That's it. Running around by yourself with jump scares.
yes i will give this game a try ... the sound seems quite atmospheric as well .
