No DX10 support for FEAR 2

January 9th, 2009 Posted in Action, FPS, News, PC, Technology by James

The upcoming FPS FEAR 2, a.k.a. Project Origin, will not support the new Direct X version, according to Monoliths John O’Roke. He cites lack of time for implementing Microsoft’s new graphics API, but adds that they’ve achieved what they were looking for visually by using the existing, and much more popular, DirectX 9. O’roke also notes that DX11 and GPGPU API’s like Nvidia’s CUDA have a lot of potential for future games.

Direct X 10 has had a horrible track record and adoption rate, to say the least, since it’s not offering much while generally takes more resources to run. And the fact that it’s only available on Vista, which hasn’t been the biggest success in terms of operating systems. By far.
