Did Crytek say that Crysis 2 would have DX11?

Post » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:25 am

I've been scouring the internet for the past few hours trying to find some offical post or comment from Crytek about DX11. I've seen nothing . Did they ever say it would be a supported feature? If so can you point me to the site or forum post?

YES!

People just expect it to be there. Also nVidia seems to have falsly promoted DX11 in Crysis 2 to sell their GPUs.

If Nvidia falsely promised DX11 and Nvidia knew it was a false claim then why didn't Crytek set the record straight and why did Camarillo tell IGN it would support DX11?

See above.

Also if you're right what is that guy on Twitter talking about? And why has Nvidia only removed some of the references to Crysis 2 being DX11 but not all of them, even though the remaining references have been bought up in Nvidias forum?

You should also set your expectations by reading such statements deeper than it seems to be.

Sure, Crysis 2 may support DX11 in the future, but will it take advantage of it? Supporting it could simply mean that instead of showing DX9 in the r_displayinfo 1, it may show DX11 without adding anything else.

So what the answer to the question will it have DX11 is still yes. Thats all we know for sure. If it doesn't add anything else why is it taking so long? Explain that! My understanding is they've supposedly been working on DX11 features for the best part of a year now.

To be fair, he said the game will support DX11 but he never said WHEN. He didn't say it will launch with DX11.

Probably because they have more pressing issues to take care of? Duh?

True but people are speculating that the DX11 patch might never come. Which would then make that statement false.

Also he did say there would be an announcement "soon" soon is a subjective term but given the context (an announcement coming soon not a game or the patch itself just an announcement) I'd say soon has passed us by.

Because we live in a world where everyone under the age of 25 wants everything now and if they can't have it they go frigging crazy posting the same damn things over and over in multiple forums.
