Sucks for the PC folks. But I will be getting this when it releases for 360/PS3 (haven't decided yet). I loved the first one.

Its a delay to make the PC look better than the xbox and ps3, I don't think the PC folks will feel too bad. That platform is all about pushing graphical prowess to the extreme.

This is a good thing, I think. If we want DX11 to be adopted by gamers, we need DX11 games, right? There's already more support for DX11 now than there was for DX10 when Vista launched.

Well, to make it look better for the earlier adopters of DX10. Considering the Steam hardware survey shows about half of gamers are still on DX9 (through still using XP), this doesn't seem to be a very mainstream decision.

Really, we'll already be seeing games with DX11 by the end of the year?

I hope the shift to it is worth it, Crysis certainly looks better in DX10 than DX9 with the full object motion blur only in DX10.

Lets see if the PC version will have extra graphical effects not in the console versions.

DX11 capable cards, like the unnamed AMD chip, are near enough complete.

So, basically, Vista & DirextX 10 = EPIC FAIL.

Not entirely. There is usually a new DirectX version with a new OS.

Is it because the PC is difficult to develop for?

All this talk about Direct X makes me glad I'm a console cowboy.

Think of Direct X as like console generations, except more often, free and optional. If you buy a graphics card that supports DX10, and play a game that supports DX10, you can play it in DX10. But you can still choose to play on DX9 or sometimes even in DX8 if that's all your PC supports. It's like if you could run Xbox 360 games on the original Xbox.

They can't just patch that in later like a normal pc developer?

+1- EXACTLY

either hold off on the console versions (unlikely) or just patch the damn thing shortly after the pc version is done- their customers will be all the more appreciative of that route.

then again, their games are just not fun to me, so i could give a hoot.

or how about just TRYING to have as good an engine as what Bizzare C. put together for PGR4- yummy yumcakes!!
