Vulkan will support multiple GPUs only in Windows 10

Vulkan is a low-level API that made everyone cry the moment Khronos Group announced that it would support both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. However, it appears that its multi-GPU functionalities will only be available in Windows 10.

For the inevitable whining that's going to come from this. Just upgrade and be done with it. There are very good under the hood reasons that these things don't support 7 and 8. You guys think Windows 10 is just a prettier looking Windows 8? Think again.

I think it's add laden privacy destroying spyware masqerading as an OS that breaks all my old games by not supporting their drm (which shouldn't have been in there in the first place but that's a different topic) and hides what options it does give you for privacy like 9 menus in. Fuck That.

I wouldn't take it when it was free, there's not a snowballs chance in hell I'm paying for it now. I will switch back to console and deal with their BS for AAA titles before I install windows 10 (indies still run on like, windows XP so I don't see them failing to support windows 7 properly for a very long time.)

Mystogan2595d ago

Yeah good luck with that.

Princess_Pilfer2595d ago

I don't need luck. See, I have actual principles and refusing to use products that don't allow me my privacy is high enough up if it really comes down to it, I will refocus on a completely different hobby. It won't, because of said indie titles still supporting OS that are twice as old as mine and linux is an option and actual physical games in consoles are an option and emulators are an option, but if I really had to pick between windows 10 and not gaming at all, I'd stop gaming. I love it, but I also love reading, and snowboarding, and anime, and movies, and music, and window shopping, and many other things besides, and there are enough high quality experiences to be had in each of those things to last me multiple lifetimes.

10 is flat out amazing after dealing with 8. The same applies to Windows Phone. The Windows 8 OS is flat out trash on mobile but 10 feels amazing.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN4h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos1h ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

PassNextquestion6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger4h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Profchaos6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto5h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos5h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long2h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel4h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator4h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg7h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos6h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion6h ago(Edited 5h ago)

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola2h ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
