Wikipedia says DirectX is a collection of APIs for easily handling tasks related to game programming on the Microsoft Windows operating system. It is most widely used in the development of computer games for Microsoft Windows. The DirectX SDK is available free from Microsoft. The DirectX runtime was originally redistributed by computer game developers along with their games, but later it was included in Windows. Game developers still often include an updated version of DirectX that prompts installation automatically after the game installation to ensure proper program functionality.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Awesome software but they said no other platform but isn' Direct X10 preinstalled into the Xbox 360?
Yup 360 will run DX10. Combine all this with XNA and it'll whipe PS from the planet earth.
The most funny thing is:
"DirectX10 (Crysis)"
So Crysis runs on DX10 which actually won't play on PS3 but will on 360. I guess in consoleland there will be a lot more exiting exclusives on 360 that won't be ported over to other consoles!
I'm very excited about this. While Sony it's trying to prevent communities from making their own homebrew games/applications (i.e. PSP security updates); microsoft it's giving the tools to make it easy. Heck yeah; count me in. Any body care for a SNES Emulator for the 360?
what a joke. they use old games (directx 9) and a new game (directx 10) and compare it. of course the old game is not as good as the new one, this has nothing to do with dx10.
and was crisis not running with dx9 ?!?! noone has seen any dx10 screens of this game. i bet the screens from crisis were rendered with dx9. ppl will come a mucker again, because of all this lies.
Jesus achira! Calm down you little nerd. Let's just play some games.
