So I guess the whole package is coming over
Here's what you stated in one of your posts:
Reading all of this, what EXACTLY do you expect us to think? You apparently believe most of the features and benefits of DX12 are for tablets and PC's, completely negating the fact that Microsoft said, "THE XBOX ONE WILL SEE A SIGNIFICANT BOOST IN PERFORMANCE FROM DX12". Then you insinuate that because the XBO has a low level API, it wont utilize DX12 to a great degree.
Whats just ill, is how you COMPLETELY ignore that the XBO will see a significant boost, AS WELL AS PC's and tablets. You cant just take out the stuff you dont agree with to try and prove a point! WTF?!
Nothing you quoted shows me saying that Xbox one is not compatible with DX12. Nothing you quoted shows me saying there won't be a performance increase. In fact what you quoted shows me clearly saying the opposite, that DX12 on Xbox one will show a performance improvement. Those words are actually in that text. Maybe you have trouble reading.
Who's talking down to you Jackie or anyone else for the matter?! Im simply putting out there what we know thus far. You're not being talked down to. I just dont agree with the arm chair quarter backing thats taking place from those who have no idea (or simply refuse to comprehend) what has been stated officially. I dont feel bad for telling the truth!
Does that even MAKE SENSE to you?
Yessir! Whats different now is that Microsoft has finally wised up and kept alot of what their doing under wraps while telling us that "more is coming". This just so happens to be a double edged sword as well. Because not fully disclosing information allows the arm chair devs to speculate and create nonsense and FUD ad they cant afford to be completely transparent. MS also has to be mindful of Sony as well, so not to lay all of their cards on the table....oh i know.. but the only thing that has NOT been said is, will the full range of DX12 features make it over to the X1. I am already on the bandwagon of waiting to see what can be done, and I do EXPECT big things, just have to wait and see.

Not to mention what happened with Albert and the engineers. Once gamers began calling them liars and full of BS and bashing (those same people who would know more than any gamer on any forum) revealing too much had to take a back seat. f*** all! Just look at all the flack their catching for the Cloud, even though there are actual games that take advantage of the technology. Something had to give....

Maybe you forgot you just posted this:
"By time Yoyo, KB, Jackie and Ketto finish with the information we have from GDC, DX 12 will be no more than stolen documents from Area 51 that can be read in the tabloids. We could show an actual photo of Bigfoot, ET and JFK at a family picnic right now, and those three would believe that over the XBO being directly compatible with DX 12."
Warned for insults.
Maybe you're too blinded by your ever increasing ego as an armchair quarterback to read between the lines?
i think at some point, yes.. the FUD being put out about DX12 is amazing. Saw one article where the person who wrote it obviously couldn't read, because he wrote that IN FACT games for DX12 won't even hit shelves until 2016, and AAA tiles until 2017 and that we would have to ride our 900p trains until then. Completely ignoring that they are updating the current SDK and other software enhancements to free up hardware resources.
It is the blinding hate that some have towards this announcement that is staggering.
That was joke of all things. Gimme a break!
Key words: AREA 51. TABLOIDS. BIGFOOT. JFK. ET at a family picnic? Maybe your sarcasm meter is broken. /Shrug

The hilarious thing is I agree with you (xbox one is compatible with XB1 and we will see performance improvements) and you still act this way and have your pants in a tizzy.
Seriously. If you actually agree, then why try and downplay the news? Its like someone stated earlier, why not just say, "this is great news for Xbox", and be done with it? Thats all most of us are saying anyway....

When some people in this thread are saying that this is a huge game changer and will bring parity to the PS4 (in fact there is a post on the last page saying this will make Xbox one multiplatforms perform BETTER than the PS4!), we should be allowed to disagree. Heck, we should be allowed to disagree on the merits alone that MS never claimed any of that. And we should be allowed to disagree without being accused of "downplaying" or "hating good MS news" or "not believing MS" or in your case being personally attacked as having a big ego AND all of the above.
Seems you are all misinformed.
The new SDK brings parity-in regards to resolutiongate. DX12 is just extra topping
unless you were referring to my post where I said "MAYBE 3rd party" games would be better, then I don't see any post on the last page about being BETTER. I said maybe, and that is an accurate conjecture to make since we don't know how this will affect X1 games with this and the new SDK hitting the pipeline.

Truth.. the new SDK is supposed to resolve the resolution issues, mostly (still will be programming issues getting the system to work as intended), and DX12 is just another improvement to be seen later.
I said that! And it is!
I didn't say that, but I did say it will indeed make them even closer than they are now.
Really, at this point, not a whole lot is known about DX12 and it's benefits for the X1, especially considering it was just "teased" at GDC. It's speculation and/or general misinformation from both sides of the discussion regarding what this will mean for the X1. My opinion is that very few of you know enough about it to be acting like you know what it'll mean and condescending to others who "don't" know or are "ignorant" enough to believe it will make a huge difference.
For now, I'll listen to the people who do it for a living and know what they are talking about. The general consensus from them is that DX12 is a significant advancement and will make an impact. That's the first thing known, and the second is that MS felt it was relevant enough to mention the X1 amongst the info and announcement of DX12. That should mean something right there. What it means, we'll have to wait and see.

Bingo... it is a significant advancement, their own words. How much so, we will see in the coming months and full on at the end of 2015 I guess
I have no issue with you Yoyoniner. Or anyone bringing a realistic slant on the news. But there were people in here claiming that DX12 would not be coming to X1. That only certain features would. Because the hardware has to be compliant. But I guess they didn't realize that Microsoft designed the hardware a certain way for a reason.
Because the GDC announcement was related to, and indirectly about the X1. Whatever is going to the PC is also coming to X1, so it is relevant and specific to the console.
