win 10 is free btw -not running w7-w8 time to upgrade.or pass on the game imo.
Don't get why this needs to be a Windows 10 only game, it doesn't even look like it would benefit much from DX12 anyway - it's not like there's loads of interactive and complex objects happening on the screen at once, which is what DX12 is mostly about as far as I know! Looks like this title could be just as good on DX11 given the video, and hence should be available for Win 7/8. Win 10 only is for me just a ploy to make people change to Windows 10, even if this title is DX 12 (because doesn't look like this title would benefit from DX12 anyway).

It will be DX12 ...
Its use TressFX 3.0 from AMD on Fur, hairs, .. and some other special "sauce" for snow .. Thoses techs are ofc aallready on the XboxOne version ..The snow deformation in the videos looked terrible whatever solution they are using is very laggy and inaccurate, recent titles I can think of, Arkham Origins and AC3 did a much better job.

By 2016, almost everyone currently on Win7 & 8 will be on Win10, anyway. Going forward, this will really be a complete non-issue, and the unification of the entire Windows ecosphere under Win10 will be a huge boon to PC gaming, imo, as well as all other Windows software venues. Practically overnight as these things go, Windows 10 is going to unify things for game developers--and questions like "Do I code for Win7, Win8, or Win10?" won't have any meaning any more. It's also going to hugely jumpstart game development for DX12 as it will soon be running on a majority slice of the entire Windows market--I really do think some of the best software we've ever seen is about to be written, beginning in the near future as the Windows-market fragmentation will come to an end--or the great majority of it, anyway. This is going to inject growth into the PC sector such as hasn't been seen in many years--and on the gaming front, really the only thing that can slow it down after the Win10 transition are the game consoles (as usual, right?)--but at least Microsoft can remedy that by getting DX12 on xBone ASAP--which I think will happen almost immediately. The next 12 months should be very interesting..!

Can people please stop complaining about the graphics? The game still has 6-9 months at least of development and I am sure that at this stage they are not releasing a fully 'turned up' version of the game.
Jeese, please have some common sense.

I doubt this will be Windows 10 only they'd lose too much money but either way I'll be upgrading this is just another incentive.
