loads of people say its gonna be more graphically intense than crysis and murders low to medium end computers, is this true? i saw the system requirements and it seems that even my laptop can run it.
my specs:
amd turion x2 1.9ghz (not many cpus of 1.9ghz)
2gb ddr2 ram (it rated 5.9 on vista experience index!)
geforce 8400m gs ddr2 128mb
160gb harddrive

You know, I'd swear we had a thread for this, but we don't, lol.

It is looking awesome, I'm especially liking the look of the fire!

Well worth a watch;

Watch this video on Youtube.

lol your 50th topic in an hour ^^
it does look good.
hope you can still have the classic underwater knife fights.

50 topics is impressive for someone with only 24 posts, lol.

You probably can, there are underwater areas! I haven't heard much about MP, though.

lol figure of speech, when i clicked the view new posts like all the topics were by him ^^

it wasn't the fact you were knifing under water that made it good. it was how stupidly hilarious the actions were.

aww man, wheres the motion blurr when you turn like in crysis? i loved that!
games looking good, when you get hit you bleed like in call of duty

It's always an option, lots of people don't like it, and some go OTT with it, lol.

this game loooks niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

but i bet the original will still be a better game (i consider far cry to be groundbreaking, QUALITY game)

This game isn't actually anything to do with the original, they just used the name for publicity.

I think it will be pretty ground-breaking for a totally freeform shooter, something I want to see a lot more of!

oh ???? that sucks, far cry is awesome! in fact im gonna go buy the original now just to have sheer quality on a cd!

Yeah, different characters and a different place. I heard the story of Far Cry was a bit weak, but the gameplay was pretty fantastic.

story was OK, dont read too much into it and stuff (i thought it was fairly good myself, but there are some flaws and stuff lol but who cares??? its only a game!!!).

the gameplay was amazing u could buy the game today and it wouldnt look out of place with todays games (tho some like bioshock are quality, hmmm gotta play tht game again! so good!)

Well Far Cry was by Crytek, but UbiSoft (publisher) kept the rights to the name, so Crytek made Crysis...

Now UbiSoft is making Far Cry 2, and in spirit, it is similar to Far Cry, with large open areas and strong AI, just it has nothing to do with Jack Carver and the island with strange monsters, lol.

i hope its as good as the original far cry then.

the players hands and arms look a bit fat to me and not very muscular like in crysis. i dont like the way the weapon moves as the player sprints, like the one is crysis better, but i guess this is more realistic
how did crytek even manage to play very high dx10 on vista with such high fps?! what comp did they have?
is far cry 2 gonna have dx10 capability aswell? looks a bit gritty to me

We have to remember that Far Cry 2 is a completely different game to Crysis! They're published and developed by different organizations. Crysis was developed by Crytek and published by EA, whereas Far Cry 2 is developed and published by Ubisoft, who bought the Far Cry brand from Crytek.

Yeah, and as such they have different engines aswell, and I think the Dunia (FC2) engine runs better than the CryEngine2 (Crysis). I think CryEngine2 was atually pretty poorly optimised, and for the followup (Warhead) they are making it run better on more systems.

The arms won't be as fat as they aren't wearing (what I perceive to be) a fairly thick nanosuit.

FC2 will almost certainly have DX10, I have no confirmation, just it's a top end game.

Hopefully DX10.1 for ATI marketing purposes

you love ati dont you? here a post of ati and nvidia battling it out. read the last topic

http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19434&st=0&gopid=80588&#entry80588

ATI are currently doing pretty well for their current cards. though Aaron is a bit of fanboy, lol.

How am I a fanboy?

If Nvidia were actually making any good cards, I'd support them just like I did before, but at the moment they aren't, so I'm not. ATI on the other hand are making good cards at the moment. But they have only recently just emerged from a stage where they were releasing awful cards...

So, a fanboy I am not, but a person who appreciates good performance for a good price I am. Nvidia are currently not invited because they do not pass my criteria.

I know that, just you swing to ATI more often, when performance is close. I only said a bit (just like I'm a bit of an nVidia fanboy - I will usually buy nVidia over ATI, though atm, ATI is the obvious choice).

TBH i dont give a toss, any card that is good i wont be bothered, BTW any1 seen that post with ATI and NVIDIA smilies fighting each other?

far cry 2 gonna be ace (sticking to the topic here )

I go for whichever has the best bang for buck, so I'm neutral and have bought just as many ATI cards as Nvidia cards. My history of graphics cards is... Geforce 4 MX 440 --> Radeon 9800 Pro --> Radeon X850XT-PE --> Geforce 6800GS XXX --> Geforce 7950GX2 --> Geforce 8800 Ultra --> Radeon 3870 --> hopefully 2x Radeon 4870X2

Also, sorry if my last post sounded rude It wasn't meant to be.

I think my previous one needed a smilie

One thing I've been wondering about FC2 is how they're going to do the boundaries of the play area, as this is often a hard thing to do seamlessly.
