@evildictaitor: Yeah I don't get why they would redact the hash of a file. It's not useful or secret information.

 

Can anyone think of any way a SHA1 has of a file can be used inappropriately or cause any issues?

You'd have people popping up all over the place flashing the hash as proof that they work in WinDiv? haha

I haven't been following 3D graphics technology all that closely lately, but is there actually anything coming down the pipeline that can't already be accessed/expressed through the current DirectX APIs? Like everyone is saying, most of the activity seems to be in the mobile space catching up to desktop graphics capabilities.

That's a good point. They've left the fixed function pipeline behind, and the last few version have been the introduction of the shader languages and their upgrades.

@Vaccano:

Yep. The point is of course, getting a game to work between Android and iOS is a lot easier because they both implement OpenGL ES. If you want to port your game to WP you pretty much have to reimplement the rendering engine from scratch.

No! The reason why you have Android & iOS games first before WP8 is because Android + iOS = 95% of the market share. WP8 + WP7 = 3%

...

Microsoft recently announced with some fanfare that they got "Temple Run" on Windows Phone 8. Temple Run is a fairly popular, but also old game.

At the same time iOS got a brand new version of Temple Run based on the OZ movie. Despite the fanfare that MS put on the Temple Run release, this makes it glaringly obvious that big name game and app developers are not taking Windows Phone 8 seriously.

OK, personally, I find Temple Run really boring, but the graphics API might be the easiest to map, from OGL to D3D. Ultimately, they just draw textured triangles.

So, to port the iOS game to WP8, you gotta consider the networking API, maybe the Apple Game Center vs Xbox Live APIs, storage API, etc... So, why don't MS just copy the entire iOS interface?

OK, I'm being facetious, but changing the MS graphics API is NOT going to help port games over to WP8.

This seems to point that, since the only real alternative to Direct3D is OpenGL, it will become the recommended graphics API on Microsoft's platform in the future. Maybe wishful thinking, but stranger things have happened.

Seriously? That's a viable alternative? As viable as Steve Ballmer pulling a monkey out of his * live on stage at the next developer conference.

It seems as though another spat between children will ultimately result in more compatibility issues and other brokenness that WebKit was supposed to help prevent. I think it's great that they'll start with removing dead code and reducing the bloat but when that work is done... quirks for everyone!

Gotta wonder how the folks in Oslo are taking this news?

I would think this was good news for Microsoft as an opportunity for those concerned to move away from the newly forming unknown.

I'm surprised you're not calling Google evil for embrace & extend. I have a feeling if MS had done this, you'd be all over them.
