Phil Spencer recently made waves when he stated on the record that Microsoft’s much vaunted DirectX 12 update to its software development kits won’t make much of a change (the Xbox One’s graphics currently are under fire for always being weaker than their PlayStation 4 counterparts; at least, as far as the multiplatform software goes). Today, the CEO of Stardock, the man who originally stated that the update would be a game changer, and who should generally know what he is talking about (considering that his company makes graphical benchmarks), took to Twitter to clarify the matter, at least on his end.

“[Phil Spencer meant] development is basically the same,” tweeted Wardell. “My general impression is that Mantle is higher perf but DX12 is slightly “safer”. It’s less API and more implementation. I wish the people arguing this topic were more technical. It’s pretty simple.”

So the way it seems like is, Phil Spencer just worded his statement poorly- DirectX 12 will in fact make a tangible difference to the graphics, although the development process itself should be largely the same as it was.

This is where somebody who knows absolutely NOTHING will say how it isn't so

Why cant you just focus on the gameplay, its sony they had the better graphics last gen but that didnt stop Xbox from having better games imo. MS should've thrown kinect in the bushes and concentrated on what made them great

I was looking for it too. Leave it to this nikka to "dramatically boost" his opinion

i know it'll make a difference cause any time a new direct x would come out back in the day the pc gamers would go crazy. anyone expecting just that change to match up with the ps4 graphics will be disappointed tho. i won't be surprised if somewhere along the lines they release another more powerful version of the one...
