Okay so why no announcement. Take a guess...

I love surpises......


Hope dies at last.........

news doesnt come out on the weekend. and quit acting like you're not buying the game....because you totally are.

It's not ready yet...I'm sure of it.

Obviously it's not ready, BUT the big mystery here is "why so NOT serious Crytek"? Why can't they just announce that it's being worked on and it will be ready in time for launch or in a few weeks/months? Just SAY something about it ...

Now why would they go delay it just for the GTX590? All 400 and 500 cards support it.

the game is not balanced for dx11

there is no dx11 for this game

the game is not balanced for dx11

As far as most DX11 effects that doesn't even make any sense to me. It's not balanced for DX11 shaders? Or lighting effects? WTF?

As for tessellation

There are some really low poly areas of rubble and piles of bricks (even pancake flat piles of bricks "be fast" trailer 0:12 seconds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7QtAke7i_I ) and stuff they could tessellate as far as 580 and above there is a 50% frame rate surplus they can afford for it to not be balanced for DX11.

It's a reference to infinities wards statement of 'the game isn't balanced for lean' with regards to mw2.

So it's a joke? I'm confused.

Yes it's a joke. That was the **** excuse IW gave to explain why MW2 did not have lean, along with the brilliant "PC has exclusive features like mouse support and graphics options". More arrogant assholes developers, I have never seen.

"PC has exclusive features like mouse support".

Mouse support lols. Don't forget that it supports monitors, keyboards, some versions of Windows and generic dvd players as well.

who knows, who cares.

just wait til you get an answer and you will be enlightened

They Probably Are Trying To Work The Bugs Out Of It Or Something, I'm Starting To Think That Crytek Has Bit Of More Than They Can Chew, And They Are Trying To Make The Game Work Anyway.

PS: We may not get DX11 for awhile, but when we do it will be amazing, and there is no doubting that!

It's simple: Crysis 2 was designed by and for the consoles, the PC (and therefore DX11) is not a priority for Crytek.

Cryteks Priority Is To Release The Game, And Have It Actually Work, They Will Probably Fix Everything That Needs Fixing With Patches, But Who Says Its Broken? Nobody On Here Has Played The COMPLETED PC Vesion Yet

They are trying to avoid more canceled pre-orders on PC, anyway

yep it was a joke. You sir were surely reading IW forums as well.

I referred to this because for many years now, we've had on forums evasive answers like: later, probably, we don't know yet, it's been sent to the developers, I'm not allowed to tell you but will be brilliant OR the best of all: "follow us on twitter" (like as if I was interested in knowing if the guy was in a good mood in the morning after he took his dump)

I'm so used to these type of answers I'm not hoping anything now !

It's simple: no answer ==>no product. They are not able to talk about features they worked on ? Seriously.

In marketing, it would be the most stupid idea not to sell the best feature a product has to offer to boost sales at launch. In this case DX11.
It would be like selling an ecological car without even knowing or telling the consumer if it has batteries. Seriously, I have no hope in DX11, or if yes it will have limited effect.

As I've said in other thread, my guess is:

-there is no DX11 and they will promise it later till you forget and move on to smthing else
-there is DX11 and amazing graphics but microsoft pays not to say so people will focus on buying for xbox360
-there is DX11 and they want to make a surprise, but it would be the dumbest strategy ever
-or worst: in DLC if u preorder the extension (if u still bite it)

I actually went with its a surprise" trying to be optimistic here.
Really hoping for an answer soon, lots of people have got the game already.
I know there is gonna be mind blowing graphics for crysis 2.
For starters what Camarillo said: dx 11 will be talked about in the future.
Cevat stated crysis 2 is a generation ahead on PC.
The gdc 2010 videos of crysis 2 in pc footage back then looked amazing, check it out if you havent.
We will have to wait and see though.

Okay so why no announcement. Take a guess...
Because 0,1% of cards support DX11

Plain and simple.. Consoles don't support DX11. The folks that want the eye candy and have capable machines for DX11 are riding shotgun once again. Think about it, that would hurt console sales to some extent. Personally I believe Console company's are putting the pressure of no DX11 support so their products can keep up with the PC. As long as the PC has to live by console rules, the developers will be controlled for years to come at the will of Intel ( DirectX ). Here is a post I created with an article link. Great read if you want the answer as a viable option. Enjoy

isn't dx from microsoft instead of intel ?

So your opinion match mine

remember what camillo says (in the future)maybe wee don't ever see dx11 even dx10
