I am still looking forwards to this but only in the way I was looking forwards to AvP 2010 - hopeful but expecting to be disappointed.
DangerDog wrote on Jan 14, 2013, 16:30:This is what concerns me. Gearbox was upfront about the PC version of BL2, yet there has been almost no discussion about the technical details of ACM. In fact Randy Pitchford has talked more about the Wii U version than the PC version, with the special motion sensor interface for the tablet-controller - in fact he's been gushing praise like a cheap whore.
Where is the PC love letter for this game, Borderlands 2 had one but I'm not going to assume that Gearbox will put forth the same effort with this game unless it's mentioned somewhere. FOV adjustments? Graphic settings? Mouse driven interface?

Umm, TW2 was DX9. Just sayin'.
Two Worlds 2?
I was guessing The Witcher 2?

ACM supports DX11 but won't use any DX11 features, like tessellation. For all intents and purposes it's not a DX11 game. From a technical perspective it's a backwards step from the recent AVP game, especially as all the media features low polygon models and environments as well as low resolution textures. I'm hopeful that the gameplay will make up for it but at the moment it looks like I'll wait to pick this up on sale.
I haven't seen anything to suggest that ACM will be a decent PC port. That's in stark contrast to other non-DX11 games like Dishonored and Borderlands 2, which both had media and interviews talking about how the PC version was receiving special treatment. That makes me very sceptical, especially with the development history.
DX11 isn't essential but it is a warning sign and there have been many other warning signs.

A lot of the Far Cry 3 trailers looked pretty shit as well but that game turned out to be great, though the PC credentials were hyped from the start (and FC2 was a very good PC port, with DX10 support).
What? Technically speaking that looks like utter shit!

I'm saying if a modern game doesn't have DX11 support... that PRETTY MUCH means they put NO EFFORT in the PC version.

Agreed.

I just think that even NS2 manages to top this thing visually. Still, my only fear is, that this game will be 10h SP with rince & repeat coop and a multi that no one will be playing two months after release.
For anyone dissing the game's graphics, check this video out first...

If it's not DX11, it sure does a great impression of it

No DX11 pretty much makes this "wait for bargain bin"... even if it is good.
Not that I'm a graphics whore, but DX11 has been out too long to ignore it... which makes this most likely a crappy console port, hence bargain bin only.
Totally agree!
