Direct X 10 games to come in Q1 2007

Earlier than we expected

THE HEAVY delay of Vista might actually have a good side as well.

Game developers have been working with the Software Development Kit for Direct X 10 for some time since it became publicly available. And, since Vista was planed for earlier than this Yule or Q1 2007, games developers have already started beavering away at their first DX10 titles and might finish them before anyone expects.

It won't be the same story as when the developers had to change from DX 8 to Direct X 9. This time around, the Vole has put up some serious money to make the transition faster.

Souces we spike to said the first DirectX 10 titles will be ready at the same time s Vista and, if we are lucky, we might be able to buy both Vista and DX 10 titles in early 2007.

I am just glad that DirectX 10 won't be called WGF 2.0 - Windows Graphics Foundation. It is also not hard to port Xbox 360 games to DirectX 10 due to the similar hardware capabilities. µ
I never believe a word that The Inquirer says anymore, but I am hoping that this will be a reality. As much as I hope, however, the lack of mentioning any titles whatsoever only reinforces my belief that this is just more rumour and speculation, in the true style of The Inquirer.

Will be a good topic for discussion anyway, so knock yourselves out. ;) Here is a link for anyone interested in the original article.

How many games is it though, 1 - 2, i certainly would'nt rush out for a DX10 card for that many, and those spelling mistakes are shocking, souces we spike to WTF. :D

Ahhhh, the "spend thousands on hardware that you NEED (Nudge Nudge)" propoganda machine kicks into full gear. Because we all know that the whole world will instantly embrace Vista on launch day and spend a fortune on being DX10 compatible for the priviledge of playing the literally 1000s of DX10 (Or will only really look good if you have a DX10 card, coz DX9 is naff) titles that developers are working on in their underground bunkers!

Pull the other one, its got bells on!

PS : Wasn't so long ago that you NEEDED Ageia to experience physics!

We all know Crysis will be out around Christmas time, but it's probably the only game that will be out for months after Vista/DX10 is launched.

Is one game worth £300+ to you, when your graphics card will be obsolete by the time new ones are out?

DX9 Card would be compatiable with DX10 games right? :confused:

i doubt any company will make a strict DX10 game for a few years yet, so all DX9 cards should work on upcoming DX10 games (be backwards compatible), same as DX 8 cards work with newer games, maybe just missing some "silly" effects.



Anyway i too would like to see the names of these games. And as per my comments above dont have any doubts my DX9 card will work on them anyway.
 
Yeah but if the game is also DX9 it wont require Vista, it will just run on XP etc... and jut not run the DX10 content, it will run as DX9, the only game i know of thats only DX10 so far, which will only work on a DX10 card, and Vista is Halo 3, so eventually it will happen that its DX10/Vista only, but thats probably years away as the games aint going to flood out, i certainly would'nt get into a panic about that, im 34 now so i can't see me worrying that when im 50 odd ive got to have DX10 as nothing at all will work. :D
