Far Cry on PC was soo awesome. I loved it 
BTW: This doesn't look like a port, I don't remember seeing any of those locations in the PC version. Also there was no dual wielding in the PC version.

Oh yeah, you may be right. Well, that makes this game even more attractive then (as long as the gameplay is similiar to the PC version)

Cool, I'm looking forward to playing it. Is it LIVE enabled?

Is this PS2 or something because I don't see any normal mapping?

I never believed this game was actually canceled. Ubisoft wouldn't be so stupid as to refuse making money.

I didn't want to interfere with all this console lovin' but this looks NOWHERE as good as Far Cry PC.
No normal-mapping (except statue head), no pixelshaded water (nope, that's a DX7 water - see Blade: The Edge of Darkness or UT2K3), really, really bad textures (dark10x support me!)
There's only bloom and staged anti-aliasing.
I fear for HL2 Xbox port.

The instincts team has hit a bumpy road.
That's all I'll say.

I dunno, there are some neat things in the PS2 (and likely GC) version SC-CT. The displacement mapping is very nice, the specular highlights from various light sources is very impressive for the hardware, the water is impressive, and the shadows worked out well. Sadly, other limiations prevented it from turning out better than it did. I'd like to rent one of those versions sometime just to see what they pulled off in person.
Oh, and welcome back!

Some of you people set your bars too high, this is awesome for Xbox.
Far Cry was awesome until I those abominations entered the game. I thought the game was throwing some sick joke at me initially. Stupid, stupid, stupid. But yeah the engine is fan-fucking-tastic.

Gonna be careful here so I don't get "re-banned"
When crytek first made this engine on the console side of things it was made on the cube hardware, so there is no excuse why this game should not rock on it, and if it end's up being another slop job, ubi can keep it, and I'll keep my money.

Ditto. Far Cry before the monsters = awesome. After = stale Doom crap. Which is sad, because for awhile the game really felt like the most definitive version ever of Jurassic Park if nothing else; replace the monsters with dino's and I'd likely buy the game all over again.
And for those who haven't clued in yet, it's apparently a sequel at least in terms of story. There has been coverage for a long time talking about how it continues the PC story by granting the main character special abilities.

Lord I suck at grammar.Crazymoogle said:
Anyways there was a patch that did precisely that. I don't remember the models being fantastic but it worked even if it did look stupid since Dinosaurs don't launch themselves 50 feet into your face. Another problem is that those horrible monsters were tightly woven with the game so it ended up feeling like a cheap replacement than a solid alternative.
Yeah I too noticed the off kilter size. I'm taking these shots as proof of concept and what to expect for the final product. A very close approximation if you will.Yusaku said:

Yeah. It's not enough to just replace the visuals (although that helps, I'd rather be looking for giant lizards rather than short guys); you have to deal with whatever fanfiction sensibility caused the developers to design the monsters with the agility of the Flash and infinite ammo rocket launcher arms. -_-;
It's a testament to the game that I like going back and playing everything up to that point again, though.

I just hope they toned down the AI detection range.
