That STALKER video looked awesome. And even if I knew that something was going to jump at the guy I still backed a little.The feeling of being alone is just colosal.
As long as the spooky doesn't just rely on guys that jump you it's good(they tend to get repetitive I was playing Cold Fear(or something like that (you're on a boat and spooky monsters jump you) ) and a guy looked dead then he jumped and scared me. Then later I played Dead Space and a monster was on the floor and remembering what happened I shot the thing that was alive so it didn't scare me but if I had not expected that it would have).I like Silent Hill and the likes better.But I don't say no to the rest.
If this keeps growing, maybe make it a sticky, as this seems to be a bone of contention for pc gaming

I hope Blizzard would also release starcraft II and Diablo 3 on DX 11. That would be great.
AMD and Blizzard signed partnership a year ago. As I understand, new Blizz games will be coded on Radeons and support latest tech (at that time it was DX10.1, but who knows - Diablo3 still a year from launch, probably will be DX11 too).
DirectX 11 Feature: Tessellation
DirectX 11: Tessellation in Stalker: CoP,
Dirt 2,

Sir....uh...its me again. BF BadCo2 and 1943 are still Frostbite 1
From my link above:
"There will be two versions of the Frostbite Engine: Version 1.x is used for Battlefield: Bad Company 1, Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2. It supports Xbox 360, PS3 and DirectX 10. DICE is working on the Frostbite 2 engine at the moment that will support DirectX 10.1 and DirectX 11 as well. DICE is very proud of the parallelized engine since 2-8 parallel threads are supported for using full capacity of a Core i7 e.g.."

Some of the above will natively support dx11
the Frostbite Engine was equipped with a switch inside the compiler that can be changed to DirectX 10 or DirectX 11
So once the hardware and software is out it will be ready.

I didn't know this news... thanks for this update =) and hope for the best (woo hoo)
I don't know how accurate that is.... I'm certainly hoping they implement lots of new DX10/11 features, but the word from Bashiok wasn't that encouraging, basically saying "we'll see what happens". Granted, D3 is >1 year away, and who knows when SC2 will actually release...
"We're not currently using any specific DirectX 10 features in Diablo III. That could potentially change of course, but if it did we don't have any plans to then require DirectX 10 to play the game." January 7, 2009
"We haven't announced any final support for DirectX versions/system requirements. I'll say that right now we're not using any DirectX10 features, but we potentially could. " Sept 22, 2009
Though brand-new 5870 sure is praying for DX11 in SC2/D3 of course....
Yeah man, that's the spirit! Of course ATI and NVIDIA would like future games be developed using the latest DX11 to flaunt their products to gamers allover the world.
This is a good thing on both ends.
