    Found this interesting interview... thought some you guys would be interested too. The thing that facinates me is the last page where the lead game designer says that the videos and and screens we've seen came from directX9... so I guess the game isn't directx10 / Vista exclusive, though directx10 will def make the game 100x better. Anyway, enjoy!

    Why would a company make their game only DX10 compatible and lose over half their sales?

    I don't think we will see DX10 exclusives until at least a couple years down the road. Just IMO :)
