    Looks very impressive; I can't wait to hang-glide across ravines and gun down some Jungle-Scum.

    looks pretty, they've gone for a action feel i guess... But i think its a tad too much with that jeeps driving off the cliff and into the helicopter....

    Read somewhere that Far Cry uses something called Poly Bumping, similar to Doom 3, so it doesnt need that good a system to play

    Far Cry doesnt seem to be that "Awsome uber" type game. Its replay value probably wont be that high. So far no game ever/yet and probably never will have a replay value such as half-life. Yeah Far Cry might be neto and such but probably nothing new we havent seen already.

    Thing I like most about it so far is how far the game can create or what ever term it is render? Such as one vid you couldnt see any bad guys but he shot the rocket launcher with a scope on it and kill guys so far there werent even on the screen. That and the Map editor looks awsome.

    that game looks.. meh.

    i didn't like a bunch of things that happened...

    -one thing that totally messes with my head is fuel barrel explosions. if i ever have to go up against a drug cartel or some such BS, then i'll make sure to go up against one with FUEL DUMPS IN RANDOM LOCATIONS.. !?

    -#2: the guy launches a rocket at the dock, which is made of planks. the rocket destroys a nearby boat somehow, throws people in all directions without dismembering them.

    the dock is perfectly intact. it must be made of adamantium planks.

    -#tres: the guy has an accuracy international or something with a directional microphone, and he snipes a barrel. the bullet teleports from the gun to the target, without first flying there.

    with a game like this, how can there NOT be bullet velocity? it makes it so UGLY..

    i guess i'm done ranting. i'll play it sometime after it comes out, but probably not for long.

    I'm sorry, but WHAT?! Haven't you heard of the INCREDIBLE AI that its got? Heres the situation they described in PCG:

    You see a soldier walking down a path, on the main island. No one else is nearby for at least 2 miles. You shoot at him, and hit him in the shoulder, in a non-important body area. He dives behind cover, calls in a helicopter, and suddenly you have 6 guys to deal with. All of this could have been prevented 2 ways- shooting him at heart, or at the head. OR, you could have naded him. Or you could have been TRYING to get the copter to come, so you could grab more ammo. Possibilities, possibilities...not to mention, its 100% freeform like Morrowind- you decide the pace at which you dive into the story.

    I don't know...in the beginning where you are hang gliding and drop that nade onto their boat, why do they fly so far? That must be one heck of a grenade! Also the dock not getting blown up was pretty lame. But it does look fairly interesting.

    The first one, "sick with envy"
    The other ones are just.. eeewwww.

    Yeah I use to play a game for Q3 called NS:CO <a href='http://www.ns-co.org' target='_blank'>Navy Seals Covert Operations</a>
    It has a small fan base and in many ways is a kind of Natural Selection when it comes to what the devs did with the Q3 engine!

    When I use to play that game, one of the lead mappers was a German guy who went by the name "BenB", he got a job working for Crytek and has done alot of the maps for FARCRY!

    Hes got insane talent!

    So I know that its going to be a great game map wise!

    Is this friend Barney? Far Cry's most famous mapper is Barney, maker of DE_Aztec, and a couple of NS maps that almost made it into official status for version 1.

    That's not all that incredible of AI. Duke Nukem did that whenver you shot a stripper.
    *Iinvisible* stripper for all those with the parental filter on (including me).

    Oh yeah... the video. Blah. This looks like a step backwards in terms of geographical morphing. Red Faction, as goofy as that game was, had a better grip on it than this game. It all looks very arcade-ish, and overall forgettable.
