Crytek boss Cevat Yerli spoke to FiringSquad about, you guessed right, Crysis. They talk about the technical aspect of the game, graphics, AI, phyics, and of course, DirectX 10. Yerli pointed out that DX10 not only generates better particle effects and visual quality, it also runs faster than DX9. He mentioned that while it didn’t add anything in particular concerning gameplay, it could add an advantage to DX10 users in the PvP multiplayer part of the game.

Both versions of the game play are exactly the same though, while in Multiplayer we are evaluating technologies that may benefit gameplay in DX10 to finally enrich that PvP experience to a new level.

He added: “Given the host of improvements Windows Vista offers for gamers though, we would recommend upgrading as soon as possible”. With no games today supporting DX10, no affordable hardware, and Crysis being at least six months away, there aren’t many reasons to go out and spend a few hundred bucks on Vista anytime soon.
