1920x1080, All Maximum!!!! HELL YEAHH!!!

MattyF5631d ago (Edited 5631d ago )

It'll be a good day to be a PC gamer.

ATi_Elite5630d ago

Low system requirements for a DX9 port.

One day and one day soon I hope Developers stop using DX9.

It'll be a good day to be a PC gamer....when DX9 DiES!

Raf1k15630d ago

Battlefield 3 doesn't support XP so I'm guessing it's one of the first to drop DX9 and hopefully more will follow the same path.

x8005630d ago

if you dont use DX9 then why state such thing? plus what is wrong with DX9? i still use it, and i am happy with it.

Baka-akaB5630d ago

because it's holding game development back and it's time to move on ? Like it has happened every era for pc

Ryudo5630d ago

@Baka-akaB

To be fair we don't really know that, no one here is a games developer as far as I know. And all where basically doing is saying well this guy said that, problem is the guy that told him could of been Tonny the 12 year old.

DX10 was a massive failure and ended up being a fatally flawed product. DX11 does seem an improvement and it does have some massive texture advantages but are developers ready to move on am not so sure.

x8005630d ago

Holding game development back? How? Yeah u can see small improvement in games but not a lot tho, name me 1 developer that has taken full advantage of DX11?
DX11 is just there to sell operating systems, Microsoft wants your money. Tessellation is the next big thing not DX11.

Thecraft19895630d ago

x800 thats the whole point developers have to focus on dx9 and dx11 if they moved forward they would only have focus on one meaning they can use dx11 to its full potential.

Ducky5630d ago (Edited 5630d ago )

GSC Gameworld along with many devs have added DX11 features.
It's not exactly small improvements, but it is little things that make a big difference; such as shadows that get blurry the further they get from the source...
That, and doesn't tessellation = dx11?

Also, DX10 was a fail because it required Vista, and people didn't make the jump. DX11 however works with both vista and win7...

...and of course MS wants your money. So does Sony when they release games. That doesn't imply that the product itself is crap.

NYC_Gamer5630d ago

@x800

thats because you can count the amount of games that support dx11 on one hand..many devs arent even trying to move on with the times.

Baka-akaB5630d ago

@x800 and Ryudo

Actually if you follow in details the tech involved in dx11 you'll see how it's quite a big improvement . many tiny layers of changes and novelty wich could boost graphics and engine , when actually used .

But that's the thing , it aint used because most people and devs and still dragging their feet with dx9 ... and because of course most of the blame lie on MS making it only available on their newer windows

I think DX9 will still be the standard until the next console comes out. So for now we have to stick with exclusives and hopefully developers will take advantage of the tech.

Even idTech5 is using DX9 as the standard. So we have no choice but to wait. At least id does make the idTech5 game (Rage) stunning at the same time maintaining 60fps.

Actually i dont mind about the DX10 or DX11 as long as it looks good and plays well. And when i mean plays well i mean 60fps!!! YEAAHH!!

ct035630d ago

id isn't anything to go by anymore. Yes, Rage runs at 60fps. And this framerate target takes its toll because the game looks sub-par.

TABSF5630d ago

@ ct03

Hope that is consoles, the character models are OK but the textures are worse than FarCry back in 2004

ct035630d ago

The resolution of this screenshot is 2560x1600 which is a PC resolution for 30 inch monitors. This is not a console screenshot.

spdarksky5630d ago (Edited 5630d ago )

Furthermore id does make a statement that they didn't support modding on this game(Rage game). The reason of this is because of the megatexture incorporated in their engine. Damn i really hope somebody does make something with it and improve the texture resolution. Anyway we haven't seen the final product yet. But still, fingers crossed.

SnakeMustDie5630d ago

Not that demanding. Glad to see that my PC can run it at max 1080p

SnakeMustDie5630d ago (Edited 5630d ago )

Yeah, CryEngine 2/3 is more demanding than UE3.

Shaman5630d ago

Good thing about UE3 is that its very optimized for PC...I mean,you can have middle to high range GPU and moderate CPU and you will max any UE3 game at 1920x1080 without a problem...

Substance1015630d ago

More like a low end GPU like a 4850 ATI or 8800GTX from Nvidia plus any dual core cpu will be needed to run this resolutons beyond any console can handle.

toaster5630d ago

I get 60FPS at 1920x1200 with a 9800GTX and Athlon 64 X2 in UT3 :3 It doesn't take much to max out UE3.

Kurt Russell5630d ago

Your conversation is the reason I turned to consoles.

Xfanboy5630d ago (Edited 5630d ago )

But I wasn't shown in video. It was at ces 2011..

The cryengine3 is very flexable..

MajestieBeast5630d ago

Cpu is probably holding me back its alrdy bottlenecking my HD6870.

Substance1015630d ago

What CPU do you have, if its anything like a quad core from intel running around 2.4 - 2.6ghz and you are gaming around 1080p with 2x-4x most likely it will be balanced. Now if you crossfire those GPUs then you may need a faster CPU.

MajestieBeast5630d ago

E8400 duo core im gonna upgrade to a 2500k soon maybe even 2600 or 2600k.

NYC_Gamer5630d ago (Edited 5630d ago )

wow,even dragon age 2 supports dx11. whats this game excuse?

Duty Calls - Epic Games' Forgotten Call of Duty Parody

Back in 2011, Epic Games and People Can Fly launched a Call of Duty parody - Duty Calls - that has been lost to the annals of history.

closed_account1090d ago

"Duty Calls: The Calm Before the Storm" sounds more like a massive case of the sh**s. 😂

I saw the parody mention, and half expected the ability to drop a deuce on your opponent... I left disappointed.

closed_account1088d ago

Never too much Taco Tuesday!! Now if only we could just achieve eternal Taco Tuesdays without the inevitable Wipe-It Wednesdays!!! 😂😂

Bulletstorm - A Cult Classic Worthy of Revival?

Bulletstorm will soon receive a VR remake, but is it worth revisiting? Take a look back at the original 2011 release.

IMissJimRyan1098d ago

Absolutely. I remember when the game came out on ps360, I thought: "wow, another shooter" and in the 7th gen that wasn't an unfair reaction.

But when the game was re-release on ps4 I took my time an played it (it was on playstation plus at the time) because, ironically, I missed a shooter in that console. And boy, what a fun game! They made a game to be played and not to be watched. It was a fresh air in the genre that deserved better.

So yes. Maybe it find its audience this time.

SullysCigar1098d ago

It's an awesome game. The only exception (for my taste) is the script writing, which is OTT, but I guess that's what they were going for. It does at least match the OTT action and gore. I thought it was great overall and actually being in this game is going to be bonkers!

IMissJimRyan1098d ago

Yeah, I agree that storywise it's not an Oscar nominee, but it's like a porn movie in game format.

Abnor_Mal1097d ago (Edited 1097d ago )

Agree with the over the top script, and felt at the time that was the only thing that people were hyped about, the language and not game play.

But in vr this game is going to be great. It has everything that would make a great vr game. Lots of bombastic action, gunplay, blood, and that leash.

Looking at the gameplay now it seems that the game was ahead of it’s time and was perfect for vr before vr wasn’t even off the ground.

Venoxn4g1097d ago

I loved the game back in the day and will love in VR even more!

Yui_Suzumiya1097d ago (Edited 1097d ago )

I got it on PS3 at launch and am still waiting for the long rumored sequel to finally be announced. Currently have it on Switch and wish a physical version of that would be released. Absolutely love it.

FinalFantasyFanatic1097d ago

I actually feel like this game gets revived all the time, not that I hate the game, I actually quite like it, it's just constantly available, unfortunately I'm not a fan of VR so I'll be skipping this version.

Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.

danglyparts1133d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
