Makes me wonder with the resident evil village and assassins creed iOS ports if they’re planning on the next Apple TV to be gaming focused. Haven’t they also been investing in METAL with developers?..
This game launcher here puts another piece into place
With Microsoft on it’s fucking way out from the console business, it would make sense to have another company fill it’s place … although I’m hoping that’s Valve with a proton powered PC in a console like form factor
Well, the unfortunate part about Metal is that it’s incompatible with the rest of the world, too. They could’ve integrated Vulkan and chose to do something slightly different instead, because that’s the way the Apple crumbles, I guess.
There is MoltenVK, which is a compatibility layer to be able to run Vulkan games on macOS. Maybe they’ll integrate that. But well, it wouldn’t be on-brand, and it certainly still doesn’t make it easier for gamedevs looking to support macOS.
