what is the PS4s answer to DX11??

Irishguy954065d ago (Edited 4065d ago )

They let the fanboys come up with one for them

Edit---No really, openGl will probably start getting the support it deserves because of the Ps4/.

classic2004065d ago

No one knows what the PS4 is fully capable of but that deep down game got some sweet effects.

Pandamobile4065d ago

Wat. Pretty much every console in recent history has used OpenGL except for the Xbox and Xbox 360.

JohnnyAkiba4065d ago (Edited 4065d ago )

PS4 will use OpenGl 4.3, and is better. xD

JsonHenry4065d ago

The PS4 will be native DX11 because the PC part being put in it supports DX11. There is no "answer" to DX11 since it is a DX11 video card.

N0S3LFESTEEM4065d ago

DX11 is an API... an instruction set owned by Microsoft. The GPU may be DX11 "CAPABLE" but the PS4 will not support DX11. OpenGL has supported most of the DX11 features for years... including tessellation everything else can be hard programmed in.

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney4065d ago

openGL and openCL. Dx11 & Physx is not needed.

But of course what it's up to the devs.. Both consoles are low powered don't get your hopes up for physics simulations to be used heavily...

hazardman4065d ago

Isn't the nextbox rumored to have dx11?

Aww Nvidias physics: / hope you can tweak the Ini to make it run in the CPU

Arai4065d ago

Havok, PhysX by nVidia (as confirmed Sony in their press release).

So no shortcomings so far that I know of...

Gamer-404065d ago

All of the game is taking part at winter:(

aliengmr4065d ago

Ohh come off it already.

A hand full of screens is hardly indicative of the final game.

It ultimately depends on where the story is set.

How people rush to judgment, good or bad, based on so little evidence is beyond me.

Gamer-404065d ago

Ok, sorry.
I like the W series, but part at winter all in the game not soo good options.
That's my huge problem, nothing more.

Off.

AKS4065d ago

Has CD Projekt actually said that it takes place entirely in winter or a snowy climate? I've seen pictures of snowy mountains. There are plenty of places that are moderate in climate and very green, but if you climb nearby mountains, they are always covered with snow and ice.

Here's a picture of a secret, magical place known as Colorado that is simultaneously snowy in the mountainous areas but quite green in lower elevations:

Gamer-404065d ago

Yes, understand, but one problem AKS, all screenshots and artwork for TW3 snow and winter look so than Skyrim.

TW2 most colorful environments, the TW3 not too.

SP3333D-O4065d ago

This game keeps sounding better and better. They seem to be trying to do everything with this title. I hope they are not overly ambitious.

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave13d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan13d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

shinoff218337d ago

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Cacabunga37d ago

Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name37d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno36d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno36d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure36d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
