This should have Oculus and Morpheus support.
How is it a rip off from Mantle? DirectX has been around loooooooooong before Mantle. Also Mantle's primary features is to reduce draw calls from the CPU- something that mostly affects when playing in low resolutions. DX12 appears to offer a unified API that will work with current PC hardware, Xbox and Windows Phones. It's a game-changer in that games from PC can be ported to Xbox with a skeleton crew of developers and vise versa.
I think it was just meant to show how relatively easy it would be to port games from one platform to another with DX12. The fact that a group of only 4 people were able to port a chunk of Forza 5 onto a different system that has a completely different hardware set (even from different manufacturers) and that it ran stable is certainly promising.
The use of a Titan Black was probably to power through the lack of optimization a port like that would have, seeing that it was mad...
As a PC gamer myself, I would love to see Forza 5 on PC without the visual downgrade that it suffered before launch. The DX12 API apparently makes that a whole lot easier.
In a country that has companies like Monsanto maneuvering, cheating and buying their way over regulations; too-big-to-fail investment banking firms that just about crippled the economy and healthcare companies that would rather have patients wither and die a slow death instead of paying for coverage, having EA and Microsoft leading the "worst company in America" nomination makes me profoundly sad.
Erm... no. AMD's teaser campaign of "2 is better that 1" is for the Radeon R9 295X2. It's a dual Hawaii chipset GPU that requires a hybrid cooling solution (air and water) so that it doesn't spontaneously combust.

The master race moniker is used as a joke. It's a term that started as an insult and PC gamers adopted it. When you say that console wars aren't personal, then either you are new to the comment section of N4G (which you're not) or you choose to ignore facts.
Take a look a Titanfall- a game that isn't on PS4 yet a lot of PS4 fans will comment that if it was, then it surely would've run at 1080p & 60fps. That game easily runs a...

I don't think you're in the position of calling anyone a moron with those typing skills...
...or the next M. Night Shyamalan.
Oh so it's THAT kind of review...
JAYSUS CROIST!!! I hadn't seen a comparison yet. That is a massive downgrade! Ubisoft would be proud. I will definitely wait for the PC version then.
Just finished downloading this morning and haven't been able to play it yet. What a shit sandwich.
Very original.
I really hope that's the case.
PC has double the framerate, which means that PC is will offer the best gameplay.
Here's a tip to anyone interested in building a gaming PC: Don't build your PCs to match console pricing. Console hardware is heavily subsidized by the main manufacturer (MS or Sony), because their money is made on the software side. A mid to high range PC with an i5k processor and a GTX 770 or R9 280x can be built for around $900 and will have A LOT more processing power than both new consoles, so 1080p and 60 FPS will be the norm rather than the exception.
It's...
Suddenly that Aisha Tyler/Watchdogs trailer makes a whole lot of sense.

Thanks man. The Stability Guide is gonna help a lot. I appreciate it.
Thanks man. Appreciate it, but I got it through Origin Mexico for $38. Ayayay!
Gargoyles for sure.
