Copy bump.

 

[Camp Lo]

I'm feeling that XII logo they have there.

 

[Ouren]

And will only work on Windows One.

 

[UpsideDownAce]

I would certainly hope it would

 

[zephervack]

Secret sauce?

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

Is it confirmed an official twitter account? And not just run by some clueless intern?

Interesting implications if true.

[SpoonyBard]

Does this mean dx 12 will not be a huge improvement over previous version?

 

[Vashetti]

No PS4?

 

[Nirolak]

I guess technically the teaser page implied this already, but still seems like new news to quite a few people: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/directx/p/directx12.aspx

 

[Wishmaster92]

It begins

 

[Eiolon]

I wonder if we'll have to pay to unlock it...

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

I have no idea what this means, but I guess I'm hyped?

Thanks to talan619.

 

[Ouren]

No PS4?

no, because PSSL is better.

Wonderful comment.

Well it also supports Snapdragon so I'm assuming it's built to run on everything with different optimizations for each.

 

[Banfield]

It would be pretty strange for it not to, but I guess Microsoft isn't exactly hitting it out of the park these days so you never know.

 

[scitek]

So are they going to keep their underpowered console in the graphics race by manipulating the software side of things? Gross, if so.

 

[DudeWithNoName]

This is what I'd like to know. What benefit does DX12 have for the xbone?

 

[gofreak]

If it's a revision aimed at overhead reduction it may not have a new feature set requirement. And you don't necessarily have to have a feature compliant gpu to use a later version of DX as the driver anyway.

 

[Begaria]

Clearly DirectX12 will somehow unlock the dGPU on the stacked die of the Xbox One to make it 10x faster than the PS4. Good find...

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Remote play feature a la nVidia's Shield would be glorious.

 

[The Flash]

Explain this to me like I'm five years old

 

[Chettlar]

I am now convinced Halo 2 Anniversary or some new game MS has in store will be used to showcase DirectX 12.

Mark my words.

 

[Hidden One]

So will it be more powerful than PS4 with DX12?

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Uh...shouldn't this have been expected?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

So will it be more powerful then PS4 with DX12?

You add spoilers to a Honda, it doesn't become a Lamborghini.

 

[Dead Prince]

Misterxmedia will have a field day with this

 

[JaggedSac]

So will it be more powerful then PS4 with DX12?

Don't be silly.

 

[JNT]

I would think you already have low level hardware access on One (which is what DX12 seems to be focused on), but developing a game targeting DX12 might make porting between PC and One easier, so I guess that's a good thing.

Ever heard of optimization?

Here is a new toy for you. It does the same thing as your old toy but it is shiny and built better.

fingers crossed

 

[Chettlar]

Or couldn't it just be that the Xbox One was originally designed for DirectX 12 in the first place, but since it wasn't finalized, they released it with DX11?

Genuine question here.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Hmm are we supposed to find this surprising? Be one of those things I'd find more surprising if not the case.

Remote play feature a la nVidia's Shield would be glorious.

Why must you play with my heart strings?

 

[Chobel]

No

 

[ShogunDarius]

is this the rumored secret sauce?

Ok...12 years old

 

[Skeff]

So will it be more powerful then PS4 with DX12?

No, any features should be able to be used with the ps4.

 

[Nirolak]

Genuine question here.

Well, yes, but it still wouldn't need some of the same optimizations as other platforms because for example Windows isn't doing crazy things with CPU threading like it does on PC, which is one of the major changes they teased.

 

[Enchanted]

Please explain what you just suggested.

 

[Chettlar]

fingers crossed

More likely it will indeed be Halo 2, but they won't say it is. Just pretend it's a no-name tech demo.

Quantum Break is the next most likely candidate, methinks.

 

[Asd202]

Well I don't think will see a lot of games using DirectX 12 any time soon.

 

[RyudBoy]

Can't wait to see exclusive effects rendered @ 720p

 

[Rizsparky]

It better be delicious..

When Mummy MS and Daddy Money love each other very much...

 

[scitek]

Ever heard of optimization?

I mean with the feature set. I guess its in your best interest when you have your own API to have an edge on the competition.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

Uh...shouldn't this have been expected?

Not really, no. Console DX/OpenGL versions tend to be fairly static.
