64-Bit and DirectX 11

[Saccharin]

The PS4 Version is 64-Bit.

Being 64 bit is not the issue with the PS4, underneath although the new consoles are virtually below budget PCs they operate differently at a operating systems level so any code made for a PC would be not be easily modified for a PS4 and vice versa.

Edit: the game engine runs terrific, I can stand in Revenant's Toll with 50-100+ people and my frames don't take a noticeable dip. With everything max but shadows and AA it doesn't even use 1GB of RAM. I wish other games were like that. 64 bit would introduce very little at this moment in time.

If I recall correctly he mentioned something that the client for ps4 is essentially the pc client ported and edited. Which would mean you could do the same thing, but backwards for a 64-bit pc client >_>; (To save time)

True they are basically budget PC's. The whole reason PS4 and xbox moved to the AMD Jaquar architecture was for x86 compatibility with PC's and portability. There is no difference in the microcode between PC's and XBOX or PS4. The only differences are in the custom libraries for the OS, which, at their core all compile to the same instruction set. Porting is really easy when it comes to graphics and core mechanics. OS specific features that relate to the inter-operation of the game with the OS are another matter.

64 bit optimized client and HQ textures would be awesome for people who had PC's that could actually take advantage of it.

+1 to seeing it happen. =p

There are many differences between a console that operates games at bare metal and a PC that operates through high and kernel level api's.

A 64bit verison we aint going seeing soon if at all.
It basically requires reworking the whole game to use all the power available for x64 applications and without that it would simply be a less stable version of the current game.

the 64 bit is complete and requires a seperate download at some point in the future, was in a article some time ago, this game has a lot of future proofing to some extent in the pipeworks, the only thing it doesnt have is plans for DX12 that MS has announced XD

Last news was to not expect it till end of the year.

Q: How is work with DirectX 11 compatibility going?
Yoshida: After Niconico Chokaigi 3 is over, I'm going to be going on a media tour to Australia. We have the quality check for the DX11 edition scheduled around the time that's over. We're going to be looking over uncompressed textures. The process is moving along but it's not going to get much faster so I would anticipate the release for this to be no sooner than the end of this year.

i hope we will see the DirectX 11 Version on the E3

[Kazza2003]

I just hope this whole DX11, uncompressed textures, 64bit (in the "near future") stuff is not a big bummer.

[necrosis]

Will believe it when I see it. SE is really slow about fixing things.

Found out just tonight that the 'if trapped in claw after last boss in CT you will get glitched and cant move and (maybe, if you take more damage than is regened) slowly die' bug that has been in the game since day 1 of 2.2 is still happening.

I hope this new tech and HD texture (AKA uncompressed texture) will not altered how my character looks

I loved how she is atm, I hope they not affected my character model too much, I am glad they will make texture look better on armor, weapon and other stuffs
