Until the consoles hit the next gen, no one is going to code for DX10/10.1/11/12.... unless someone pays them to do so. Intel is still splashing cash around from what I hear, and that is a good thing. Nvidia is scaling back unless you make ipod video transcode software, and ATI never threw huge wads of cash at devs in the first place.

We are at the point where MS is the major impediment to anything happening in the games industry other than stagnation and titles with an added 1 on the title. There is a solution, but the only way to do that is for Intel AND ATI to cooperate on a much deeper level than they ever have before, and piss MS off in the process. I would add NV in here, but I really don't think they will be relevant in a year, or alive in 3.

Sad times, but we are facing a games crash akin to the 80s for the same reason, floods of overpriced crap foisted on us by execs with their eye on the bank account. The same thing that is killing the music industry, radio and movies is now hitting games. *SIGH*.

I guess I will go down to the basement and fire up the Ms. PacMan machine.....

yes, its definitely sad.

the main reason I was excited to join MS in 1996 when Alex St John hired me was because DirectX was the shit-hottest thing in PC multimedia, MS or Apple, and was moving PC games in the right direction.

the parties didnt hurt either

Tempest for me Charlie

AMD have cooperate with some studios too. Without AMD and NVIDIA, Microsoft will not have developed the directx 11 specifications. Current games lives because online multiplayer games that become a big hit. I don't see any hopeless view in games industry. The current problem is Intel and Microsoft relations, who will the most attractive party to the developers? because Intel will integrate their proprietary OS within BIOS, and only makes MS honest recently with announcement to uses Windows 7.

I got one of those too, it is sitting in the living room by the Gauntlett 2 machine. The Robotron 2084, Ms. PacMan, Xevious and Smash TV (in a boot camp cabinet) are in the basement.

Back on topic:

I found another title for DX11.
Stalker: Call of Pripyat is apparently DX11 according to AMD:

Here

[charlie]

Yeah, there are a few more. There should be enough to matter for christmas and early in Q1. Aliens Vs Predator looks really good, but that is all about balance. We will see if they got it right this time, they haven't since the first on the Jaguar.

Uh oh, look like im in for another round of daipers...

AvP scares the crap out of me

Found some trailers for you guys to look at: Here. Enjoy!

You should see it on a 50 foot screen. You should see it on 3 50 foot screens. That said, things like this will justify 6 30" monitors and a dark room.

I would have thought that MS did their best to promote PC gaming by selling a broken console.

My fantasy is that OpenGL will become more popular with the adoption of OpenCL, both the adoption and the development of it. Perhaps Microsoft will look the other way and forget what would happen if games could be played on Linux.

How about if some combination of Apple, Dell, Warner, Acer, etc were to build a next gen OpenGL and OpenCL console and financed a dozen games or so for it?

Or maybe the EU could force MS to open source DirectX.

OMG, some ten years ago, I remember playing that game MP, in a dark room, being a marine,

i ran out of flares...

I almost sh!t my pants.

I seriously missed that game

Please make the game DX11 , please make it last for long, please do not change that horror style...

Having seen a few bits here and there, it looks good so far. That said, there is a lot you can do wrong with great graphics and crap gameplay. I am hopeful though.

P.S. Rebellion owns 2000AD. AvDredd?
