This is game is freaking nuts. So atmospheric - that lonely, desolate jungle, the floating leaves making you think there are dudes to snipe.
And the save system is kind of like Dead Rising but less in a "fuck I just lost 20 hours of play", and more in a "holy shit its the dead of night, this shitty jeep is throwing its headlamps about 5 feet in front of me, I can't see a thing but I hear sounds everywhere, HOLY SHIT A ZEBRA".
I'm gonna need some new pants.

No fuck that.
If you quick save every few steps you will destroy this game's intense feeling. That brutal nervous tension you feel when you're driving down a dirt road, and you hear a second vehicle engine behind you, you look out the back window and see a jeep careering down the road towards you. The fact that if these dudes end you that you'll be sent back to your last save makes it 100x more frightening.
When you're deep in a gunfight with these bandits you should be bricking yourself, not quick saving each time someone goes down.
By all means play on PC, but I implore you not to use quick save.

UBisoft - Montreal LOVES xbox hardware!! These guys always can show what xbox hardware is capable of..FarCry2 on 360 is simply STUNNING!!
Am i the only one that thinks once the PC version is out that FarCry 2 will be on par with Crysis visually? I mean FarCry2 on the 360 looks damn near as good as Crysis.
I have a cutting edge pc..i play the hell out of Crysis and Crysis Warhead too... ALOT of times playing FarCry2 on my xbox 360 im in just awe at the visuals, the amazon rivers, the landscapes, the far draw distance,etc.
Now once this hits the pc and we can add some narly AA and AF to the game and raise the resolution some..i can really see FarCry2 can honestly go head to head with Crysis Visuals. The physics are there as well ..just like in crysis too!
...this game looks freaking NICE on xbox 360, who ever says the 360 is uncapable of Crysis like visuals are wrong.. the 360 IS capable of it..atleast its capable of getting damn close to it..wow. Dead Space is another game that just looks so sexy on 360.
Oh one more thing..that atmopshere is bar none.. BADASS!!

Far Cry 2 is damn beautiful, but I doubt that it would surpass Crysis's High detail setting let alone Very High. Not only do the regular effects not seem to be as impressive, but things like destructible buildings are handled altogether differently in Far Cry 2 as well. Destructible buildings in Far Cry 2 are based on pre-created model-swaps, with debris that simply disappears, while Crysis' is fully destructible with the rubble sticking around for you to walk through after its done.Mr.Potato Head said:
Same goes with foliage and such too - simply disappears in Far Cry 2, but stays an actual object that you can interact with in Crysis.
Comparing the two games is pretty silly IMO since they're both damn beautiful, but if you absolutely had to compare them, I'm willing to bet that even Far Cry 2 maxed out won't keep up with Crysis on High details.
Oh also, the people in Far Cry 2 look and animate like ass
I saw that screenshot a long time ago and have never seen anything since to demonstrate that the game actually looks like that today.McBacon said:
I dunno about Crysis level, but it can look amazing at times - setting sun, waterfalls, god rays through the trees.
I have absolutely no problem with linear games.
They tend to be fun at the right times, providing light and shade.
I can see an open world having less intense battles and include a lot of aimless wandering.
That being said, I can not wait to try this out. Setting is awesome and hopefully it shows that an open world can be done right.

I'd totally get the PC version if my graphic card wasn't a turd. 360 for me, and I'm not too worried about it.
lol yes. While my last post in this thread was about Far Cry 2 on PC, Far Cry 2 on 360 doesn't come anywhere REMOTELY near Crysis :lolTom Penny said:
Far Cry 2 approaches just about where Crysis is at Medium detail - give and take a few things. Add in the god rays, but remove the "real" destructibility. Other things like that.
new gameplay video, about 8 minutes of act 1
Thank you, I have already seen this video and meh same story: I have notice more tearing than 360 version (when the enemies shots) and a frame rate slightly worse; of course, I'm hard to please, but ubisoft it repeat again: doesn't show anything about ps3 version (or just few video) and why? Because on 360 is better...forgive me, it's no my intention to lame but I hate how ubisoft works on the ps3.dark10x said:
KrawlMan said:
I think that the problem is that there is nothing to check in the jungle. All streams and videos I have seen just show the mission points and between them 5 guys to shoot.
The interesting thing of being in the savana and the possibility of exploring is to find something in there.
I mean, what is fun about walking 20 minutes between trees and shit if there is nothing in there? I can understand going in circles around what you are gonna attack in order to get a good look at it and start the attack from a side that will benefit you, but apart from that there is nothing in there. Maybe some meta quest around the jungle, some special missions, some sidequest hunting (including looking for clues of the whereabouts of the animals, that would be cool)
But of course, maybe all of that is in the game, I only seen videos so I could be mistaken. I will found out in 2 weeks :-/
Also, personal rant. Why the fuck using a sniper in all games is pointless?
Far cry 2 looks awesome for some sniper from 2 km far away, but after the first shoot everyone shoots at you! doesn't matter if you are 3 kms away or hiding, they automatically know where are you. no game has got it right :-(

With the openness, if I'm able I'm going to adopt a vehicle I can rely on to get me around.

How the hell am I supposed to do that? I'm going off what I heard from people who have the game and from the developers.zewone said:

PC Gamer Review
"The basis of Far Cry 2's story telling: Characters and situations are swapped via a software author, its responding to choices made by you the player. Its something that's been on the cards for some time - mostly in research projects - but this is the first high-profile game to use it.
Its nothing less than a revelation. What makes this procedural storytelling cool isn't that you get to play the game lots of times, and see new things happen, or do things in new ways, Its not even that it gives you stories to share, situations to compare with your friends. Its that the game just works and responds to your successes, failures and fuckups.
If you don't like what a guy is asking you to do, then don't do it... If you really like one of your buddies, you stick with him. When the situations force choices on you... By God, its incredible"

Jesus this month is kicking my ass.
I'll never have enough time for all of these games.

as soon as i read that there were long "boring" expanses to travel in F2, my interest was peaked to say the least.
I like for an adventure to feel like an adventure ... the only way to do that is to plop me down into a seamless landscape.
Is it strange that I was happy to hear LittleBigPlanet was delayed so I could play FarCry next week?

That gamesradar review made me grin. Judging by that opening paragraph, this is going to be one of those very rare games that feels like it was designed for me from the moment I start playing.
