In reply to angh. What kind of delusion is this? You know why XO has poorer res.numbers? It is because of inappropriate API and poor draw bundles holding the system back.Even Metro's dev stated this very very clearly.He said that while DX12 should be the right one DX11.1 is a flop on XO.The XO was designed for DX12 not for the current one.Once the API hit the system maturely then you will see what XO realy is.

LoL.What has this dev been smoking out there? Windows10 is on the way and majority of the society will be jumped onto it.DX12 with Windows10 devices in next couple years will nearly be mandatory for devs.I am pretty sure that the DX12 is a real deal on XO like Wardell stated.First he said that the XO will be the most beneficial platform and it will make XO’s GPU twice faster than it’s currently situation.

There is only one question here:If they max out the XO and PC with DX12 how are they going to port it to PS4?Ohhh I smell #NoParity hashtags by XO fans from now.Just look at the Quantum Break.Even from now more than enough to destroy anything on PS4.

Not really. NVIDIA said dx12 will run on older cards from the 400s up.. Which is a pretty old list. And the article:

It is very simple. You should just change the name of the article to “PS4 Dev Thinks That They Should Not Utilize DirectX 12’s Features For Xbox One Unless It’s An Exclusive”. To name it as you have done is just trolling. The Dev in question is already a partisan in this “console war” so it makes his credibility and his perspective suspect at best.

Why are they having someone that is clearly making PS4 games comment on something like this. If this was someone commenting from say Ubisoft or EA. I . could merit the credible story. Developers that are making games for both systems are already working with Direct X 12 and they have been clear that it’s a great change for the Xbox One. Now i own both systems and like them both. But nothing pisses me off more when you get a biased article about ONE DEVELOPER. Whom does not make Xbox Ones Games currently or AAA games.

In reply to Nathan O. Because Sony offering them more money and more support, at least so far in this consoler war. An because the jump from PC to PS4 won't be that great anyway.

In reply to Illusive Man. It will take a while for game developers to rebuild their rendering engines and other software to take advantage of DX12 let alone all of it features, probably 2 or 3 years by that time we will probably be speculating on when Xbox 2 and PS5 is coming.

In reply to draez. Doesn't taking full advantage of something like Direct upgrade require a graphic card upgrade?
