    Awesome! I absolutely loved the original FarCry. Graphics are kinda on par with CoD4. I hope they transfer over the awesome multiplayer experience too.

    Farcry was great fun and though it never really took off, the multiplayer was loads of fun. I liked driving around in the boat spamming rockets at the shoreline. Or grabbing the sniper rifle, swimming out to a small island somewhere to pick off some nubs.

    It was so versatile. I miss it. The Assault style maps were loads of fun too, I hope they keep that around in some form.

    People in Crysis don't bleed? That's lame. What happened to M rated games?! Even CS:S is more bloody.

    if PC max out @ 1280x720 = console version graphics, and only with higher res. textures
    i mean if that happens what do we PC gamers get?? the only genre left for PC is RTS (and MMORPG of course), and now that PS3 supports Mouse/keyboard, and if next gen consoles supports M/K on most games. They will prolly have the same RTS game as the PC version ...

    Not that I think M$ would let their next XBOX, XBOx 720 or w/e supports M/K.. They prolly still wanna sell us vista/windows 7 for "games"

    do we at least get some exclusive visual effects for Farcry 2?? at least DX10 stuff.. just seems to me that they dumb down the game so that everyone gets the same thing

    And if you've ever pirated a game, you have no right to complain. Why should developers put effort into something that won't pay dividends? Believe me, the PC would be the lead development platform for every title if everyone with an 8800+ series card actually bought the games they play. I've bought every game I've ever owned, and was frustrated with devs for lame console ports... until I realized it's you I should be blaming. End rant.

    i actually do buy all my pc games... but for xbox thats another story, its pretty easy to mod XBOx though, and add a 120GB HDD, with games only cost ~avg 5GB, but anyway, i mean i bought like 30~50 pc games last year alone

    bought 2 copies of crysis(1 EA online store, 1 collector), COD 4, HL2 OJ BOX, like10 strategy games includes SupCom, C&C... and many steam games, and i gotta say.. knowing that for games like COD 4, Bioshock where PC max out = 360 version... does not feel so well, not to mention the activation method bioshock used, luckily i bought it on steam, so login and play

    i mean i am not against multi platform, (i understand that devs want to make profit), but for the PC version, they should really use PC's capability thats all

    Is it just me, or they are waiting for G200 and RV700 so we can play the game on medium detail?

    The funny thing about the Dunia Engine is, that it's based on the CryEngine 1 (you remember, Ubisoft bought all rights of Far Cry and the CryEngine 1). But of course the engine was highly modified, so that there are just some little parts left of the old engine.

    But it definitly looks great! The fire (and it definitly can spread over) looks awesome!

    Looks like crysis, but with even more cartoon like explosion FXs.

    Game looks great, 1 complaint. Could just be video... FOV looks awkward.

    Maybe it's just the video, but the trees and vegetations doesn't look as good as Crysis to me.

    so.. somehow you already have farcry 2 and it does have blood huh? is that what you're saying?

    if you mean crysis, spare me the simplicity , it doen't enable s*th.

    i tried those two: http://www.fileplanet.com/182767/180...doll/Blood-Mod http://www.crysis-online.com/forum/i...&topic=14537.0
    and still doesn't look convincing. no bullet holes and they go through the bodies like they where some kind of ghosts. the weapon customization was nice but the rest feels like some silly game for children.
