Just played a bit...not impressed at all so far. Runs well enough on Ultra High, but graphically it reminds me of Haze, so uhhh yeah. Have only had a few shootouts but the shooting doesn't feel particularly good, with these early weapons anyway. Turned off by the universal ammo boxes. Also wasn't expecting the game to be this linear...
I'm not sure what PS3 version everyone got but either they're all insane, or I got a legitimate copy.
After playing the 360 version almost all day then coming home and putting in my PS3 copy, I can tell you there aren't any major graphical degradations the PS3 suffers from.
I have seen some minor slowdown, but nothing serious (though I haven't caused any major havoc yet). So far tearing hasn't been an issue on my 720p CRT.
I'll post back in a few.

I don't like to repeat myself too much, but I'll ask one last time since lots of people are coming home with this game tonight.
Does the 360 version have a giant sloppy deadzone like Far Cry Instincts on the Xbox and the 360? On the 360 they issued a patch to reduce the slop from 35% to 24%, but it was still huge vagina.

Ran another benchmark and DX10 as shown earlier, gives a pretty significant increase. 1680x1050 Very High, with textures at Ultra and 2xAA.
DX9: * Total Frames: 2231, Total Time: 51.01s
* Average Framerate: 43.73
* Max. Framerate: 56.47 (Frame:317, 6.19s)
* Min. Framerate: 35.92 (Frame:1784, 41.81s)
DX10: * Total Frames: 2685, Total Time: 51.01s
* Average Framerate: 52.63
* Max. Framerate: 76.13 (Frame:176, 2.71s)
* Min. Framerate: 39.23 (Frame:1151, 20.84s)
Edit: You enable DX10 in the options under display. Tried Ranch (Long) and again DX10 gives +10FPS on average.

Not really.HybridXL said:
Vsync is indeed off. Framerate is a smooth 30 even with a ton of fire effects. Believe me, I tried it.
Works fine for me!
Eh, they look OK but it's nothing amazing.
Turn up the brightness. Helps considerably.
Completely untrue.
Incredibly untrue. And I have played both. :lol
Your loss, my friend.
Mr Spliff said:Fellow Canadians won't like this, but I got mine today in Toronto through my hook-up. Everyone esle in GTA should get it tomorrow no problems. I got the pre-order special with the extra 6 missions but I didn't get it at an EB so save your time calling all the chains in Toronto tonight
I just walked into Gamestop in Shopper's World Brampton and got mine, no fuss at all. Supposedly the street date is for tomorrow but they got an email saying to sell it as soon as they receive them.

Played a mission or two, up until I go to get ammo for the first time. Pretty fun. But jesus christ Ubi, what is with you and voice acting? Between this and Assassin's Creed, they cannot seem to do voice acting worth a damn. Though, that's the only drawback to the game right now. Everything else is aces. And such a beautiful game too. I'm surprised the 360 is running it so well.
I have an e8400, 2gb ram, 512 8800gt and when I switch the game to dx10 in the menu and restart the game it runs so poorly it takes atleast a full minute to play the far cry 2/ubisoft logo and stutters. When it gets to the menu there is a lag with any input or movement. When I play dx9 it runs fine. Anybody else having this problem?

Flunkie said:Wow. The PC version compared to the 360 (and I'm sure PS3) version is like night and day to me. I can enjoy this game now.
yeah, I installed and played the PC version on very high for a bit...then popped in the 360 version...UGLY!!! The opening level is like completely different on the 360...

YES!!! Using 4850 w/ 8.8 here. Are you using DX10? I did and that happened, went back to DX9 and it was all good.GhostRidah said:anyone else having weird color issues and strange big black boxes all over the screen? like this

Yes, it is very sluggish, feels like the aiming was designed for a controller.GhostRidah said:

Not universal in the Deus Ex Invisible War sense. Universal in the "Any shotgun dropped gives you shotgun ammo, and any assault rifle dropped gives you assault ammo" sense. Picking up 10 bullets doesn't give you a rocket to fire.

Wish I could use dx9 mode, my screen just goes black when I use it.

i own the ps3 version, and i'm very happy with it. i haven't played the 360 version; i chose to go with ps3 over 360 because everyone i know who's buying far cry 2 is ps3 only. i'm starting to think i need my eyes checked though because to me, it looks great. i mean its no gears of war or uncharted, but i still think it looks and runs pretty damn good. the dude with the avatar of himself blowing his ps3 controller mentioned something about black bars on the top of his screen, and i don't have that AT ALL. my tv is native 720p as well, ps3 set to 720p, and it takes up all of my hdtv.
i hate to come across as "fuck your opinion, you don't know shit", because if he isn't happy with it then he isn't happy with it, but i personally think his statements are completely baseless.

Prbly something with it being 64 then, I'm using 32. If you find a fix for that wonky coloring/black spot shit please update me on here though, if this runs better in DX10 thats how I want to run it, but obviously I can't at the moment because it does that.GhostRidah said:
