A question About the direct X11 client and the PS4

[SecretCrowds]

Now I may be wrong but I myself was told that the playstation does not run off DirectX they have something else. So seeing as SE has said nothing about a counterpart for the PS4 I would go under the assumption that PS4 will not be getting it. I could be terrible wrong though just what I heard is all. Also it is an entirely new client, I believe you will need to re-download the entire game on the DX11 PC users as well.

Again I could be wrong, just the stuff I heard combined with my "small" amount of understanding on the matter.

PS4 uses DX11. In fact, Sony improved on the DX11 used for PS4 and it has features even the PC versions do not have.

Those improvements include better shader pipeline access, improved debugging support features out the box, and much lower level access to the system hardware enabling developers to do more cool things. Thats achieved not only through an modified DirectX 11.1 API, but also a secondary low-level API specifically for the PS4 hardware.
