Hi.

I'm starting this thread because over the past few weeks there have been some discussions on the forum about FPSC X9 Versus X10.

This thread is not about what engine is better. This thread is about what engine is better for YOU.

To begin, I will write a few differences between X9 and X10.

1. FPS creator X10 uses pixelshader 4.0 and Direct X 10. FPS creator X9 uses pixelshader 3 and 2 and Direct X 9.

2. X9 has better support from TGC and the community then X10.

3. X10 has better performance then X9.

4. X9 is still being updatted by TGC. X10 not.

There are many more differences. These were just some examples.

Alright. I'm going to help you to choose wich engine is best for you. You just have to keep one thing in the back of your mind. X9 is not better then X10. And X10 is not better then X9.

So... to choose whats best for you, you got to ask yourself a few questions.

1. What kind of game do you want to make ?

If you want to create a puzzle game with sometimes a very good firefight with some bad guys then fpsc X9 is best for you.

But if you want to create a massive battlefield with 60 bad guys at once and blow them all up. Then you should go for X10.

2. Do you care about the graphics for your game ?

If so. Then I think you should go for X10. I'm not saying that X9 has bad graphics. wich it don't. But in X10 you can adjust the graphics alot easier then in X9. Thats because X10 uses a slide bar to adjust things like bloom effect. Also X10 uses pixelshader 4.0 wich better then Pixelshader 3.0 and below.

3. Do you care about support ?

Sadly, The gamecreators do not support X10 anymore. This means that TGC will not update X10. However, TGC are upgrading X9. Every once and a while they ad new features and fix bugs and other things. Also X9 has a larger community then X10. And there are more mods for X9 then X10.

-------------

I hope these questions helped you. But eventually its your chose. Just think about it for a while. But if you really can't choose. Then why not buy them both !?!?!?


Again, this thread is not about wich engine is better. X9 is not better then X10. And otherwhise.

p.s. apparently my texture comment is incorrect, on 512 x 512 texture sizes, can go up to past 1024 according to rolfy so i shall explore this. but the rest is fact.

there are some updates in development that could push x9 forward for 1000 yards. v1.19 is on the way, including wasp-mod with great features and script commands (and the option to use another mod like rpg or blue IN ADDITION), lightstorm-engine will deliver a big performance-boost and some additional shaders & more in the future.

Thanks m8

EDIT: Search on the forums for showcase threads from X10 and X9. Like wolf said.

No, search the forum. The youtube FPSC videos are just depressing.

Wait... Yeah... Wolf is right. you should search on the forums instead of youtube. Thanks Wolf
