No DirectX 10 Supreme Commander - briefly
(hx) 09:38 PM CEST - May,21 2007 - Post a comment / read (4)
Despite earlier reports that a DirectX10 patch for Gas Powered Games's sci-fi RTS title Supreme Commander would be released after the game shipped to stores, this post on the developer's official message boards has revealed that those plans have been scrapped:
Despite the best efforts of our own team and our partners from Microsoft and Nvidia, the timing simply did not line up. The availability of DX10 hardware, final releases of Vista itself, and the solid drivers simply did not line up with the necessary time frames in our development cycle. Having missed that window, our dev team has focused on graphical improvements that will benefit a far wider audience than the still very small but growing segment of Vista users with DX10 compatible cards. Having missed that window, the resources necessary to integrate the tech do not make sense compared to what can be accomplished for that greateraudience.
Blame them? I would have been "blaming" them if the HAD wasted time and resources trying to make a DX10 patch. I mean, even despite not doing it, they still managed to make the release into a Vista marketing tool.

Well personally I chose to hold off on Vista, something about it just doesn’t feel right to me even if I don’t take into account the different hardware requirements and gaming benchmarks I have seen posted around.

Although on saying that I can’t help but feel a little bit sorry for the people that bought the game expecting the DX10 stuff.

Again on saying that I really did not enjoy Sup Com at all, I can understand why others enjoy it but I just cant used to it.

I know its possibly sacrilege to say that but I am having a lot more fun on C&C 3, it might be that I don’t play RTS online though, just in LAN’s.

I learned from the jump from Win95 to win98 to hold on. I bought Win98SE.
Same for XP, i waited a couple of years before moving.
'Early adopters' always learn the hard way, regarding buying the newest OS.
Vista sales are poor, hardware reviews are better than ever (thanks hx) and hardware support is crap! So MS are getting hammered! No wonder dev's are sticking to XP.

On the subject of Sup Com, i too found it more of a chore to play -only the demo mind, but the demo is HUGE and enough to make your mind up on!
The jump from micro controlling your units on the ground to having to zoom out and manage them in the air wasn't exactly fun.
C&C3 got it spot on in that dept.

The same here. If I do upgrade to Vista I’ll probably still keep XP as a primaryOS on the same machine anyway :D I remember I had Win98 installed until 2002 or so...

When XP is on it's 'last legs' -will i move to Vista.
I still have two legacy machines; One with DOS6.22/Win95 Matrox Mystique and Diamond Monster(on pass thru) and the other Win98SE GeForce 3 and a whole load of oldie games! :lol:
