Judge Rabbi 0 Posted December 30, 2003 Far Cry reminds me of Halo. Pure fun and action. Hell, the jeep reminds me of the Warthog (BEST VEHICLE EVA!!!) Everything looks shiny with PS 2.0. A pity my FX5600 will commit suicide by trying to run the thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 28 Posted January 21, 2004 The demo is out, downloading now with bittorrent Apparently it was meant to be out tomorrow but Ubi released it a day early by mistake Edit: Forgot to mention the demo comes in at an astonishing 496mb, curious what's in the demo to make it such a big download Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kegetys 2 Posted January 21, 2004 Hmh, quite boring game. The graphics are ok, not very realistic look but looks nice... The AI seemed quite as stupid as in any other arcade shooter (and dont expect any realism from this game either), running around until getting killed (and yelling all kinds of "taunts" all the time). The maps arent very big, but not very small either, a few choices on which way to go but you still end up in the very same places. No savegames, only checkpoints where the game gets saved automatically = annoying... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goeth 0 Posted January 21, 2004 Only good thing in this game is water, it looks really nice. Other than that very dull. Reminds halo very much which was total crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joltan 0 Posted January 21, 2004 Huh, maybe Gamer's hell had to withdraw the demo again for a moment, not sure I downloaded there this noon without any troubles. Yeah, the gfx are nice, the water and the beaches look great, but the enemies aren't animated to fit the beautiful sourroundings (at least when moving around they look quite silly, CS like). But the machete is nice (if not a bit too powerfull - but that's another similarity to CS). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote[/b] ]The maps arent very big, but not very small either, a few choices on which way to go but you still end up in the very same places. Actually the maps can be much bigger than featured in the demo. There is no actual limit as far as I know. And of course you eventually end up in the same place. The level is from the singleplayer game, which is telling a story. So some locations are important for the story to evolve. Just like in the Flashpoint campaigns, there are always some locations you have to visit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted January 21, 2004 The maps are quite big. It is not going to be realistic, you will also face genetically modified opponents. However as far as Direct X9.0 is concerned you will get to see as many effects as have never been shown before! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blink Dog 0 Posted January 21, 2004 I found the AI would do some stupid things but other times it did more than flashpoint. They seem to interact with the environment better than flashpoint and will do things like enter empty vehicles and move behind cover. I found being stealthy is the best tactic. I will purchase this game, not to replace flashpoint but as a change of pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
