That right there? That's probably Sintra/foamex/other foamed polyurethane signage. (the fact if you look close it's made up of about 14-18 smaller pieces is the giveaway)

Price, you ask? That shittily erected ugly mess probably cost in the region of $3500-$9100 depending on material density, and will dent/crack and fall to pieces the moment someone bumps into it, because it's intended for single use at shows, not permanent decoration.

I assumed it was an adhesive vinyl mural applied to the wall, which would still cost like $3000.

It's yet another rendering pipleline they are threatening to support. Even though DirectX works just fine as-is.

Yes, but with DirectX they couldn't brag about working on a Linux version.
And OpenGL doesn't sound nearly as glamourous.

Also, you clearly don't know how game development works - when you run out of excuses for why your poo poo's delayed yet again, i.e. when your scope expansions start getting ridiculous, you need to find a new excuseplatform to pin opening yet more studios and wasting yet more money on.

It's pretty simple. Porting any given engine from DX11 to another API is a huge undertaking and not to be taken lightly. What Derek hints at is that it's YACRP (Yet Another Chris Roberts Promise) and nothing more than hot air. Personally I doubt they will even make the jump to DX12, because this also is kind of a big deal.
Well we can hope they try. :getin:

I have to assume that these people just don't play video games. Maybe they played Wing Commander then didn't play anything because nothing interested them until SC came around. Maybe they just don't enjoy video games at all and only like SC because it exists entirely in their imagination.

Q: Now that Vulkan is officially released, has the Frankfurt team had the chance to dive in to see about supporting this API alongside DirectX12?

A: We have looked at VULKAN, ah, we're pretty excited by it, ahhh so we are, considering our options, ah, between Vulkan and DirectX12, ah, we haven't made a full decision yet but... um... you know, eh, v...vulkan... vulkan has some advantages in most... you know... the biggest one being AS LONG AS IT WORKS PROPERLY, ah, that, ah... eh, you know, it... it can work on a PC, but also can work on LINUX... work on other platforms... ah, whereas DirectX12 is specifically just for WINDOWS... ah... they're both very similar architectures I mean essentially Vulkan's not that different from what MANTLE was originally set up to BE, so, um... *tut* you know, we, we're considering it, you... you NEVER KNOW whether we will... do... DIRECTX12 or VULKAN first.
I wish there was an easy way to find video of Chris Roberts talking about a specific technical thing and John Carmack talking about the same technical thing. Just to see the difference.
