Dirt 2 PC delayed until December to include DirectX 11 support

[cRush]

Codemasters has announced that Colin McRae: Dirt 2 for the PC has been delayed because of the publisher’s decision to include DirectX11 support. The game will now only be released in December 2009 to allow for an extended development program (DirectX11 is expected to release alongside Windows 7 on the 22nd of October). The console versions of Dirt 2 will still be hitting shelves in September.

“We expect Codemasters’ early move to DirectX 11 to place them in a leadership position in developing the next generation of PC games and simulations,” said Rick Bergman, senior vice president, AMD Products Group. “To aid in transitioning to DirectX 11, AMD is providing Codemasters with access to our software engineering expertise in DirectX 11 technologies such as tessellation and shader modeling. DirectX 11 has all of the ingredients needed to take PC gaming to a new level of realism by giving developers tools to effectively utilize the multi-CPU, multi-GPU systems now available to players.”



“While the console editions of DiRT 2 will retain their September ship date, we believe that the DirectX 11 feature set is too compelling to ignore, especially considering how much more it can add to the visual experience for PC gamers,” said Bryan Marshall, chief technical officer, Codemasters. “As a leader in digital racing entertainment, we are staying ahead of the pack by immediately taking advantage of key new technologies such as hardware tessellation, multi-threading and Shader Model 5.0 to deliver the most realistic, immersive and exhilarating racing experiences in the business. The fusion of DirectX 11 with Codemasters’ EGO Engine will raise the technical bar considerably in the racing genre.”

Makes me wonder if devs will support all 3 DX's. Vista isn't mainstream yet and 7 is introducing DX11. Eventually people will upgrade from XP to 7 and leave out DX10 support. Ar amra shobai bash khabo. DX10.1 hardware matro kinla .

dx 11 is dx 10 b.c. Its an expansion of 10.1 . Unlike Dx10 wasnt based on Dx9 . But Dx11 is based on Dx10.

But still it won't be fully supported right? That's what you said in the other thread.

man, what is it with this jigsaw puzzle?? Enlighten us plz.

[minitt]

the thing is ull be able to play the game in dx 10 or 10.1 mode nicely except some dx 11 exclusive feature....

Becaz dx 11 and dx 10/10.1 shares the same base.

lets put it this way. Ati x800 owners couldnt play shader model 3 games(dx 9.0c) although they could easily play SHD 2.0 games(dx 9.0)

nicely.


directx 9 came with shd model 2

then later on shader model 3.0 came in in DirectX 9.0c, released in August 2004

hope u guyz got it this tyme.

No no upgrades. But the graphics in the PC will be superior to that of the 360.
