Angry Playstation fans will tell you dx12 will not benefit xb1?
OK whatever dx12 is a Microsoft API and x box 1 is an Microsoft product. Do you truly think they developed the API only for PC hardware? Its not a logical argument at all.
It its well known coding for multiple CPU cores is difficult using the dx9- dx11 API
Devs having been facing the same exact issues when developing a game for console and PC for years. Console is not easier that...
I have used this feature since launch with a friend its obviously not a feature that was promised by Microsoft. I see it as a benefit of owning a console sharing games with a friend.
Watching a GDC developer talk how it works, so far its seem to be exactly like x box live on x box 1. So Windows 10 will have x box live and its not going to be different at all interesting.
I have used servers on PC they are not as smooth as x box live-so i am happy to use x box live for PC too.
Free x box live will not work for PC only- Microsoft has to be thinking about changes to the service on x box 1 too. My guess they might make online play free!
To be honest an x box live subscription service isn't viable on x box 1 if PC can access the same features and play the same exclusives for free there is know why x box gamers will just accept that.
There is still lot of unknowns how this will affect x box 1 today more videos from GDC should be released hopefully learn more.
Moldybread@ I have the Windows 10 app already i can post a screenshot if required! I am using the Windows 10 technical preview OS <...
The message is confusing LifeNZ .
I am watching the Microsoft GDC shows to figure it all out.
So far i am at this point of thought.
The x box app for Windows 10 is for x box users to use their games anywhere. You still have to have x box live to play games on PC and this will be rolled out over the next 12 months.
PC gamers may have to have an a x box live subscription for crossbuy, and be able use cross online play and so on...
I have captured two screenshots from a developers talk on dx12 it was a demo running in real time he was using an i74470 CPU you might be able to make out in the screenshot its a retail version CPU.
This is the dx11 demo. barely hitting 30fps

According to Microsoft rep this is the same demo with the 20 per cent GPU utilisation perfo...
It lasted a month so its understandable hes addressing the concerns. It was a terrible launch a month not been able to play online is a big deal and to be honest a big F*** up. From what i am hearing though the game is a lot better last two days.
Its odd but its looks like Microsoft might actually release their first party exclusives on PC, the console race is becoming less important to them, it seems to me! The video has me thinking about lot of things today! Not sure if it will happen in 2016, but its looks to be the plan ahead for the future.
They are going to treat the x box 1 as a steam machine of sorts with benefits.
PC- You will be able to play x box one exclusives if you use the Microsoft x bo...
Phil Spencer when we moved from dx11 to dx12 code we saw a 50 per CPU cent improvement with some games, is this`now been ignored now?
People are still ignoring the performance boosts from changing from dx11 to dx12 on the same hardware!
Fable was ported to dx12 and when that happened according to Phil they saw a 20 per cent improvement (GPU utilisation) on the same exact hardware.
To me that sounds like dx11 Fable was performing (inferior) o...
Its a controller for competitive players because Microsoft is heavily involved in promoting Esports
There is reason why all big tournaments for console are on x box 1 The best players in world use x box is been proven.
Name any big tournament event that was held and gamers were using the PS3 or PS4?
What i think is happening here is you buy the x box 1 version of a game you get the PC version of the game too (Phil confirmed this) two games for the price of one. A smart move you don't hinder x box 1 sales you boost them.
You could put gears and halo on PC and not hurt sales. You can play your PC version of the game by the x box 1 app on Windows 10 and it should run better on PC.
Its just making it easier for x box fans to play there games anywhere.
Phil is dropping bombs everywhere more games are been announced at this time should appear later on n4g
Bombs are being dropped by Phil crossplay buy for x box 1 get windows 10 version too x box live sdk drops today more coming in.
x box live for windows 10 announced!
20% per cent GPU boost to x box 1 just announced using dx12 megaton
An Universal Development center will allow devs to develop gams from one application
Xbox will bring games to Hololens! Will be available to those in the preview program!
Phil say...
Microsoft has too be very careful due to what happened in 2013 they are just been careful so nothing backfires on them.
dx12 will benefit xb1 i bet after today that will be shown
The % or the extra boost dx12 brings to xb1 is the only thing not known. I can't imagine we will see no boost when the x box 1 is still using a dx11 api and the api in the xb1 is only allowing 1 core to perform most of the work.
PC and x box 1 are using the same ...
720p on x box 1 with know explosion damage to buildings. Its still only 900p on PS4 also.
Sorry this game doesn't deserve my money its laziness from devs and we are only rewarding them by buying it.
I'll download it when it comes out for EA access.
Maybe if you play games on one platform they feel the same but JOE has an x box 1, PS4 and a PC and you are more enlightened if you play games on all three.
Everyone i know who has played PS4 exclusive shooters said they are average.
The order isn't 800p or 900p its slightly higher but its also not not 1080p native
1080p is 1920x1080 the order is not running at this resolution.
The order blacks out a number pixels from rendering on screen to reserve power to push the graphics even more thats just a fact it wasn't for a cinematic feel at all. The performance boost from blocking out those pixels is about 33%
The order is still the best looking game on PS4, so just...
11 to 13 million people bought a x box 1 they are happy with their purchase. If we cared so much for resolution we would have bought a PS4!
We got 720p at launch now we get 900p plus or 1080p games i am sure in a year 1080p will be more of a norm and then you guys will have less to talk about.
You guys talk about PS4 as if its best thing since slice bread Sony has changed the console much since launch most of the features are still the same and have not been ...
Phil Spencer is downnplaying lot of this stuff so it doesn't backfire on the company. Even Brad Wardell says it a PR marketing from Microsoft to downplay dx12 performance gains. Phil is leaving it open to tech guys to tell us more.
Sorry we know what gamers are like i don't blame them after the hate they got in 2013 better to be careful.
Microsoft dx12 will bring performances gains to xb1 i will take bets on it now i be right.
As far...
