The list of upcoming games to support Mantle API

I'm looking forward to playing Star Citizen, Thief and the new Mass Effect title. Such a shame I'm an Nvidia user but knowing AMD they won't nerf these titles to run bad on competitor hardware.
 
Plants v zombies? This really needs a mantle based performance boost??? :p

Besides that I'm just glad to see a new sliper elite being made, loving v2 just now :)

Think its just a case of its on Frostebite 3, so its capable of Mantle. Now all the work has been done, its pretty easy to port to Mantle it seems. All Frostbite 3 games will be on Mantle and all with all resolution scaling. :cool:
 
Whoever wrote that summary was an idiot. Even the most cursory google search tells me that Mars is in fact an RTS, which is a shame since I thought it might be a new Alpha Centauri from the name and description.

And what the hell is Plants v Zombies doing on that list? Surely that doesn't need Mantle? EDIT: newvermind, answered above :)

Star Citizen is going to support PhysX so isn't going to be tuned for AMD it's just adding a Mantle option because the devs wan't SC to be a technical showcase as much as a game (it's aimed at high end hardware, think "can it play crysis?", scenario).

It's a new PvZ third person game, sort of like Team Fortress (well from an Engineer perspective anyway).

A good explanation for it, get 60,000 fps rather then 50,000 :p

It will come in handy on SEV3 of its predecessor is anything to go by, v2 is heavier on my GPUs then bf4!
 
If ME goes back to generally speaking everything about the first game, story, slightly better/more character options, HUGELY better inventory(not ui)/armour/gun rpg feel to it. Rather than what were decreasing and pointless armour/gun options. The only problem with the first game was realistically the sheer number of weapons/ammo types and frankly the rather bland 58 versions of 10 different guns. DA2 went the same way with crap armour/weapon options in general, little in the way of party armour/weapon options in both games.

ME1/DA:O were far better story wise, stat/progression wise and item/armour/weapon wise. I just hope the backlash against the direction they went with both games makes them run straight back to the style of the first games. I don't have a huge amount of hope but I have a tiny little bit of hope that someone at EA/Bioware realises that better games = more people trying them, worse games = appealing to a few more crap gamers, and alienating the majority of those who bought the previous games.


As for not buying a frostbite based game again Rroff, it's too easy to point at a game and suggest it's all the engines fault. Game implementation is about far more than the engine it uses. For every engine I can think of we've seen great, and horrendous games. BF4 is one implementation of the engine, and it has flaws, that doesn't mean someone else can't make a flawless game with the same engine.


The main issue I have with the Frostbite engine as it stands, is like so many it was designed to be more of a last gen compatible engine, not a more "proper" next gen engine. I was mightily disappointed when I finally loaded up BF4 and was absolutely not at all blown away by the graphics. Some of the really next gen engines/games coming up look on a completely different level.

unfortunately I can see why EA in particular, but games like ME would really be aiming at all platforms rather than just next gen and PC. Only a few games are aiming squarely at pc/next gen for the next year or so, couple years from now Frostbite might actually make a ground up sensible next gen engine and a working Bf5............. possibly, I give it a 12% chance :p
 

My take on EA doing a Battlefield police style game :D

And here is mine.:D
