Hello,

I had a conversation with a friend about what kind of games can XNA 4.0 support, can a game like counter strike or WOW be made? or an even better requirements game can be made like Call of duty? or just simple games?

I've also search on google about this question and i didn't find anything relevant.

Thanks,
Sas Gabriel

You can see XNA as a managed wrapper for DirectX 9. The limitation to DX9 probably comes from having to stay compatible to the XBox. Managed code may be somewhat less performant when compared to pedal-to-the metal C/C++ code, but otherwise everything is at your disposal. I see no reason why it should only be useful for simple games. At the moment I am working on a 3D game engine and a GUI with XNA and have up to now encountered no extraordinary performance problems.

Edit: This is an older screenshot from testing: GUI + animated 3D scene + particle effects.
