The graphics will be as expected; awesome. I don't know how it all works but I know I want the best to be on PlanetSide. I still do not know fully about DirectX, how it all works and so-on, but I know it's a requisite for alot of games. For me wanting PlanetSide Next being the next step in MMOFPS gaming I'd want the minimum requirements to include DirectX 11.
What particularly interests me is cloaking effects, epoxy and metaphysical, mono-directional in-game Shield effects, Orbital Strike energy blast and kinetic explosions, speeding aircraft leaving a vortices (ripple of spiralling air), improved bullet tracers, debris from automobiles, beautiful multiple weather effects and sound effects all-round, and so much more acute eye-catching details.
Please makes PlanetSide NEXT look awesome!
