Gametrailers: Far Cry 2 - 3 Minute Gameplay

Statix - 493 days 7 hours ago

Is that why Crytek themselves said that consoles can run the Cryengine 2 at High graphical settings? Just some food for thought.

Statix, running the engine is not the same as running a game on that engine with specifically designed levels and environments.

Cryengine 2, in its most basic form, can be USED on consoles. however, the complexity and scope of Crysis CANNOT be replicated this generation

Crysis looks 6 times better than Far Cry 2. 7, when you take consider the FACT that Crysis is a sandbox game that has high res textures ALL OVER the place and it supports mods. You people that haven't seen Crysis running on very high settings before adding stupid, ignorant comments like that make me sick.

So basically what you're trying to say is that Far Cry 2 looks better than Crysis just because you can't afford a good PC that can run Crysis even on low settings? LMAO!

Crysis looks better MUCH better than Far Cry 2 and that's a fact. Just like the PC version of Far Cry 2 looks much better than the wimpy console versions.

Crysis looks better than this but that's not a big achievement considering it still can't run on modern PCs. People need to stop bringing up Crysis, it is a poorly designed game. Any developer can make a game look like a CG movie, but will it run on modern hardware? That's the hard part. There are games like Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, etc all of which rival Crysis graphics and still run fine on modern hardware. The developers of Crysis are piss poor.

Anyway, I don't see what so "incredible" about this Far Cry 2 footage. Looks pretty average to me.

I guess I'd feel that way too if I spent 3 G's on a computer for one game.

@radio0o: You have a great point there. It seems the guys at Crytech are great at the whole tech thing but are having a little trouble when it come to the game part. I never played Crysis, and probably never will, but in Far Cry when the aliens or whatever came in I dropped that game like a rock.

Yes I have an expensive desktop I built and it can run Crysis. But I also have a laptop I picked up for $1999 that runs Crysis and it blazes. The laptop has HDMI and bluetooth so I hook it to my 52 inch and set on the couch with a lapboard to use KB/M.

There is actually a laptop similar to mine that has the same gaming hardware in it minus some of the extras like finger print reader and such that is $1399 and that laptop flies. You can run Crysis without giving up a kidney.

As far as this game it looks great but only Ubisoft would make a tactical shooter and decide that the prone position is unnecessary. Idiots.

Sounds like to me someone is bitter about the PS3 having become the undisputed console graphics king. And no, as good as Crysis looks in some areas a lags in many others compared to Killzone 2.

There is also a scene in MGS4 after the first level when Otacon first talks to Snake about the Octocamo. Fellow MGS4 gamers know the scene. Sorry, but nothing in Crysis looked like the lighting in that portion.

EDIT: Also the PS3 version of Crysis, referred to as Crysis 1.5 is one of the worst kept secrets in game development.

And how would you know that? Has a port of Crysis even been attempted on consoles? How would you know for an absolute fact that a game like Crysis would be technically impossible to replicate on those platforms? Considering that there has been absolutely NO real evidence whatsoever to corroborate this long-held belief in the PC-centric community. I think this is a case more of WISHFUL THINKING on behalf of certain fanbases, rather than technical reality. Crysis is a visually excellent game, but to state that a one year-old game is still the graphical be-all, end-all at this current point in time ONE YEAR LATER is a little far-fetched. You really believe that videogame technology, taking into account the inevitability of console development and advancement, hasn't progressed in a year?

If anything, a game like Far Cry 2, which has far more openness and vastness of level structure than even Crysis, along with arguably better (more complex) vegetation, wind, fire, weather, and environmental physics, demonstrates that a game of similar or greater scope and complexity CAN be achieved on current-generation consoles.

Crysis is a very good looking game, but there's no way in hell that it should require such high spec computers to run. Crytek just needed to optimise the engine better, which they confirmed they have done for Crysis: Warhead. apparently it will run on high settings on a much more reasonable computer.

okay first off, neither the 360 or the PS3 could run crysis as is, it is an ineffiecient piece of sh!te as for as coding goes, and the 360 while it may have the ability to run it at very high could definitely not have all the physics objects, ai, and general processes, while on the other hand, the ps3 (when used correctly) has much more processing power than the 360, but the ps3 can not process graphics to the extent of crysis's without sacrificing a good chunk of it's processing power. anyway far cry 2 is optimized for the consoles and will look great and be a great game. so stop being such graphics whores and enjoy the game, god, crysis is an unoptimized system hog, while far cry 2 is a sleek optimized game, I'm not saying far cry 2 is better, but to tell ya'll the truth, once you see crysis at the highest resolution possible at 60fps, nothing could top that, plus I don't really like the overal brown tinge of far cry 2, it bugs me.

What makes me laugh the most about your comment is, "Looks Really good.. But when he fires the gun, it looks like the gun has No real feel to it.." I have no idea how you know how the game feels by just looking at a video. It's like me watching a military documentary on Discovery channel and saying those guns have no real feel to them.

There is a big difference between watching something compared to when you actually do something. Another good example, watching track & field.

i would say that resistance 2, gears 2, and killzone 2 all offer more. dont get me wrong, i played and loved the first farcry, but i think that many games coming within 6 months time may offer much more.

But I think this year doesn't really have a stand out game (barring LBP). I'm looking foreword to Mirrors Edge but not the extent I'm looking foreword to Killzone 2 or or GoW 3. To be honest it's nice to see someone genuinely exited for a game.

Resistance 2, and possibly Killzone 2, will offer more in terms of multiplayer support. But in terms of single player, neither of those games will have the same kind of richness, quality, and depth of single campaign gameplay (estimated length of 40-50 hours on first playthrough), along with a seemingly very original and inspired story (i.e., NOT ANOTHER SCI-FI FPS IN SPACE).

For my money, anyone looking for a deep single player FPS experience, with a wide open, explorable world, that lasts around 4x longer than the estimated 10-12 hours of, say, a mostly linearity-driven KZ2, needs to get this game. Having looked into everything about Far Cry 2, I don't have a single doubt in my mind as to its overall quality and awesomeness. As a seasoned FPS gamer, it's the most unique/original FPS title I have seen in a long, long time.

Be serious now. There's no way Far Cry 2 will be getting a GOTY award. I doubt it'll even receive a nomination.

Statix - 493 days 3 hours ago

In no way did I say nor do I think that Far Cry 2 will get GotY. I'm saying that in my personal view, it DESERVES to win GotY. However, for several reasons, one of which being lack of rabid fanboy hype, it will not win GotY. Which is a damn shame to me, because FC2 is shaping up to be one of the most memorable FPS experiences ever.

It's definately a purdy engine. The lighting, foliage and gun/enemy models looked really good. Lots of power left in consoles.

Well considering that with one exception, I couldn't care less about any of the games you mentioned, I think I'm alright. And I can honestly say that having played FPS on a mouse and keyboard, I much prefer the controller. Sure it lacks that precision, but I actually prefer having to work for my head shots, seriously. Plus I can't stand using a keyboard to move my character around. I know, I know...blasphemer.
