Cant say I dont agree. Its been said a few times by other devs that a lot of arm chair devs are thinking more in terms with PC's, in which they've also said..thats the wrong line of thinking. But...everyone needs a soapbox sometimes. Let em have at it.
Only if you add "most console games" to that, because most console games on the current gen are pretty CPU bound. This is why the Assassins Creed devs kept their res/framerate targets lower, and why MS opted to up the CPU clock instead of enabling additional CUs when considering what kind of last minute upgrades they could affort.
Lol, some faceless internet nerds in here have been trying so hard to dismiss the massive gain of the DX12. They think they are smarter or know better than the DirectX teams and devs of which the final specs/features of this new API and how it works are still under NDAs. As this dev has put it: "People who don't know what they're talking about asserting that I'm wrong because Totalbiscuit or someone on NeoGAF who has never so much as written a line of Visual Basic in their lives said otherwise".
Why do a few here feel the need to slam xb1 in PC terms over the abysmal hardware then turn around and say dx12 can only help out PCs with abysmal hardware? Do they feel their argument has any weight when they fumble so badly like this because they constantly need to only post doom and gloom for xb1? Then I like the fanboy slams because most of us feel the tools and graphical fidelity of games will get better for xb1 and that is enough for us.
Regardless what anyone tells I only care what will fit for my needs and they are a lot of people out there are are in the same boat with me. So this makes a perfect match.
I think you're chasing straw men. I don't quite know who you're attacking, but very few people are saying that DX12 will have no impact on X1 games. It will. It will not be a mystical trump card that makes the X1 blow past the PS4. That simply won't happen.
Well I'm just saying to those keep saying about Sony hardware. People to realize that experience is also key which it need to keep coming and also games which both is what MS is delivering.
Ouch, waiting for the arm chair hater's retort to this.3, Only devs who have access to the preview program have their hands-on to Win10 & DX12. Some of them have stated there will be at least 40% of performance improvement over DX11. This pic says it all 29.8fps with less draw calls vs 120fps with almost double the draw calls:
Also, stop comparing the XB1's GPU with PS4's GPU since one was custom designed with native DX12 in mind whereas the other is just a DX11.
NO ONE....and I mean....NO ONE is saying that DX12 is going magically exalt the X1 to trump the 4. Why do you keep repeating the same old mantra when not one poster here has said anything of the sort? Weird! It's like youre afraid DX12 might give the X1 an edge. Its okay, Old guy. Your Ps4 will still have the hardware edge. Breath easy.
Actually, I do not remember MS giving public presentation regarding SDKs prior to X1, or at least they did not get much attention. I was a long time TeamXBOX member (2002-2013) though did not post often, & do not remember having huge discussion on SDK upgrades for OG Xbox & 360.
