Remembering that is has the DirectX 10.1 'ace' up its sleeve, AMD enrolled Electronic Arts Phenomic Studio, SEGA and NHN Games so as to promote Microsoft's latest API and the "improved features and performance" it delivers. Supported by the Radeon HD 3000 and 4000 series cards (but not by any Nvidia card), DirectX 10.1 will be utilized by Phenomic Studio for the fantasy online real-time strategy game named Battleforge, by SEGA for the futuristic military real-time strategy game Stormrise and by NHN Games for the Cloud 9 3D role-playing game.
"With Battleforge, EA is pushing the boundaries of the real-time strategy genre introducing social and community technologies to deliver a whole new online experience. It only makes sense that we leverage the latest technology such as DirectX 10.1 supported by the new ATI Radeon HD 4800 series of graphics cards from AMD to deliver an amazing experience for gamers," said Dirk Ringe, vice president, EA Phenomic. "We're working hard to deliver a new fantasy RTS experience never seen before. Using DirectX 10.1 and AMD's graphics technology will enable Battleforge to look its absolute best."
"SEGA welcomes the chance to deliver one of next year's most technologically advanced titles, Stormrise. AMD's enthusiastic commitment to new standards such as DirectX 10.1 in the ATI Radeon HD 4800 series is helping us develop a game which looks better and runs faster than was possible on previous platforms," said Chris Southall, CTO Europe, SEGA. "SEGA is delighted to team up with AMD on one of our forthcoming games. AMD's firm commitment to cutting-edge technology makes them a natural partner for us on Stormrise."
