999cop Posted January 28, 2004 It's hard to believe no one has mentioned it at all in any sections of the forum. Well, dear all the id fans in here, it has the potential of being on the shelf as Doom 3 and Half Life 2. Therefore, discuss. 0 Share this post Link to post

zark Posted January 29, 2004 I played the Far Cry demo a couple of days ago, and I think it's pretty awesome. The graphics are really nice, the water is especially gorgeous. The jungle combat is intense and I'm really impressed by the AI, it feels like you're actually fighting an intelligent squad. I don't think it's really a contender for Doom 3, it's in a pretty different style to it. /me adds another game to his "to-buy" list fp! EDIT: dammit Bloodshedder, nxn and Danarchy!

SyntherAugustus Posted January 29, 2004 I played the farcry demo and it runs pretty nicely on my computer (not using the new video card yet). I really like it. The problem is that it's a little hyper-realistic. 0 Share this post Link to post

Fredrik Posted January 29, 2004 Looks interesting. But unlike Doom 3, it won't run on my Geforce 2. 0 Share this post Link to post

boris Posted January 29, 2004 Yay I can play it on 800x600 without any detail at a decent speed. Too bad that it now looks worse than CS, and nothing like the screenshots :P 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted January 29, 2004 For some reason this just isn't impressive for me. I guess it is the most realistic game yet, but it's still not perfect and something about it comming so close and not quite getting there that seems funky. Maybe if they toned down those bright blinding colors it would look right. 0 Share this post Link to post
toxicfluff Posted January 29, 2004 I gave my thoughts on this over at Newdoom, but copy/paste seems kinda cheap. Basically, I liked it, but I found the gameplay to be pretty average. However, once I stuck it in hard mode and played with a stealthy approach, I found I enjoyed the game much more. Graphically, I thought the game was pretty amazing. Stylistically, I thought it was pretty crap. So much for the non-linear system that was mentioned back when the game was first revealed: "Yeah, you can complete the level however you want, and approach from any route. Except if you go here, here and here you get killed by choppers". 0 Share this post Link to post
Arno Posted January 29, 2004 The Far Cry demo is still much less linear then for example Call of Duty or Max Payne 2. I enjoyed the demo a lot. The graphics are amazing, the "vacation" atmosphere is great and the gameplay is fun. I will definitly buy this game on the day it comes out! 0 Share this post Link to post
Disorder Posted January 29, 2004 I played the demo and it's quite fun. I downloaded this mod which allows you to move freely, without those attack helicopters coming for you. I climbed up the highest mountain in the map to snipe down all the enemies. It's fun to watch them run around, not knowing where the hell those bullets are coming from. You can download that mod here (including another mod which allows you to use a hangglider!): http://games.tiscali.cz/clanek/dl.asp?id=6870Fredrik said:Looks interesting. But unlike Doom 3, it won't run on my Geforce 2. Yes it will. I have a GeForce 2 MX400 and the game actually runs quite good on lower settings. It still looks decent. 0 Share this post Link to post

With the mod, it's a little more like what I hoped it would be. 0 Share this post Link to post

Initially I posted this thread in Doom 3 section, and apparently some mods are really biased about something which I'd rather not say......but if memory serves, Doom 3 vs Half Life 2 has been done before. Therefore I thought it'd be okay to make another similar thread. 0 Share this post Link to post
