Crysis 2 DirectX 11 Patch Debunked

[Mar 28, 2011, 9:51 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Our skepticism of the report from earlier that a Crysis 2 DirectX 11 patch is due today turns out to be well-founded. The MyCrysis forums confirm that such a patch has not been confirmed (thanks Grifter via eXophase). Here's word from Crytek:

No patch was ever confirmed, I have no idea why this website even posted such information. This thread is locked just the same as the others for trying to spread inaccurate information. When there are any big announcements regarding Crysis 2 they will be posted on MyCrysis, if you read something about a patch for example, but don't see it on MyCrysis.com, then it isn't genuine.

Oh come on, do you seriously still think WinXP is the main reason for publisher/devs not supporting DX10 & 11? It's one of the big reasons, yes. Many developers have stated that it's easier to develop for DX10 and 11, even when porting console games. However, the prominence of XP means that making a DX10/11 exclusive is prohibitive and making a game that supports DX9, 10 and 11 is too much work. If you have to make a game that supports DX9, you might as well skip 10 and 11 because you've already put in a lot of effort.
