Crysis
Alan Wake
Unreal Tournament 3
Flight Simulator X (w/ patch)
EVE Online (w/ patch)
Hellgate: London
Company of Heroes (w/ patch)
Age of Conan
Shadowrun
Supreme Commander (w/ patch)

Not sure on the dates though, but I am pretty sure some might be this year or early next.

How many of those games already have functional DX10 features now? Last I checked, no game yet uses DX10 in any way.

I posted a video a few months back from gametrailers that showed off some of the DX10 features that will be included in Hellgate London.

MS FLight Sim X has a DX10 patch. Volumetric clouds and junk.

You won't see a "true" DirectX 10 game for years.

Most "DirectX 10" games will either be hybrids or patched versions of DirectX 9.

Alan Wake and Crysis due in six months. Or are they not pure dx10?

IIRC, both will have Dx10 support, but also a Dx9 renderer.

The concept of whether or not a game is a "true" DirectX 10 game or not is pretty irrelevent. You can't have a game that runs half in Dx9 mode and half in Dx10 mode at the same time. The only difference is that future games will benefit from developers being more experienced with the DirectX 10 featureset and designing games and engines from the ground up to take advantage of that. Current and near-term Dx10 games will basically just be reimplementing the Dx9 renderer in Dx10 and maybe throwing in a few new effects. The only nice thing about that is we might get a speedup as Dx10 is more efficient.

Besides, it would be pretty suicidal for companies to design pure DX10 games without any DX9 support variant currently, given such small DX10-PC install base. Really looking forward to try Alan Wake, Crysis and Age of Conan.

The good news is we have another six months to find deals on crappo Vista.

Now with 100% more dates. It's going to be at least September before something with DX10 support ships.

From what I have read, Company of Heroes is going to be the first DX10 game (w/patch). The release date was originally in March 07. But, as you can see they didn't make that date.
