AMD TressFX 3.0 to show at GDC 2015 but for Deus Ex Universe + Dawn Engine

[Martini1991]

Thing is AMD are brilliant at bringing out all these Techs, Mantle, TressFX, Trueaudio etc, yet they never get used. You see them hyped up, 1 or 2 titles use them and they fade to nothing

Someone somewhere must be a fault for it, marketing? lazy devs? who knows... but it gets boring, i have a 290, i love my 290, i bought my 290 and found out it had all these bells and whistles that could be used in the future, but they have hardly been touched, soon i will get a new card and feel slightly let down that the tech from my old card never really got used.

Been saying this for years.

The fanboys call foul.

Then it happens again.

Isn't the Trueaudio microprocessor the same one used in the PS4 (XB1?). So it could have cost them nothing to very little to add to their newer GPU lineup as they where having to license the IP anyway.

Has there been much uptake of DSP use in console games?

 

[Gregster]

Don't some GameWorks effects work on AMD? Sure i read something about it using the CPU instead of the GPU.

I pretty much think they all do except for TXAA and MFAA (aliasing). What nVidia develop or buy up, they certainly push.

I like HR; Deus Ex was awesome........second Deus Ex blew; and that last thing for touch pad wasn't great....

Looks like they are continuing the story for HR was is cool; Eidos even admitted; boss fights; they didn't do and agreed with people and agreed they could have done a better ending...

Seriously with those screens looking forward to it.

Waste of time, as will only be in a couple of games, as usual.

They'll then announce TressFX 4.0.

Was this originally going to be a Mantle title?

If so, seems they moved to DX12 relatively easily.

Least it's cross platform. A thing everyone can enjoy. Console or pc.

A couple of games..... WOW.... that would be a 100% better then the first two versions.


In all seriousness, anything that makes games look better is a good thing in my opinion and personally I really don't care if it is proprietary or not, if these things are any good they get copied by the other side anyway.

Its good that AMD have released it for Open Source and have a 3D application plugin.

But, i would just like to say that Aotodesk Maya is £3,000.

Please please... make a plugin for Blender, i would like to make some grass with collision for Cryengine.
