What's with the DX11 being patched into games? If it's announced as a feature shouldn't it just come with the game, or be left out all together?

Early adopters get the shaft with lower quality graphics in the end.

Edit: Still glad to get DX11 though!

Better late than never?

I get your mixed feelings though as an early adopter.

captain-obvious4732d ago

from what i've heard DX11 takes a long time to implement
and that means the game is going to be delayed

so with patching it they insure an early release and then some pump in sales after patching DX11 in

Haha my point exactly. I got one.. now I was Crysis as well!

Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.

It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.

I hope they find new jobs in the industry soon.

Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol

Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
