E3: The Far Cry 2 demo (2/3)
2008-07-21 22:45:12 by Snoopers
Here comes the second out of the three parts of our Far Cry 2 developer walkthrough, produced during E3 on an Xbox 360 version. The video lasts more than six minutes and captures the methodical destruction of two villages that weren't prepared for so much anger, as well as some wanderings in the superb natural environments of the game.

I hope there are some nice long rivers you can go boatin on. And there HAS to be a waterfall somewhere for me to go off! Ah, good times...
I hope you don't have to drive all jerky, there is an analog stick for a reason! Hopefully it was just whoever was playing and not the game though =p

Hmm, i noticed a rubber tree from one of the explosions. So trees are the only thing you CAN'T blow up?
Reminds me of driving over small trees in Halo 3 v.v

game looks stunning. They must be pretty confident with the 360 version to have it on show playable.

Looks very good, but the gameplay? Doesn't look that well oiled as BF:BC (just to put in perspective)

I kept on thinking "this can't be playing on the 360!" all the way during this video. Nice work, Ubi Montreal, very impressive. I want my hands on a demo! XD

with a bit of optimisation to get the framerate stable this could be one helluva game. i love the fact i can take on any situation however i want. and whoever was playing did things exactly as i would have, stay at a distance and use a sniper. as long as the objectives are varied enough, it should be worth a purchase.

I really wish you guys would've taken some footage of the PS3 version for comparison.
This is all that I could find of the PS3 version from E3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQfC-pH8iNA

Ok, the only thing bothering me is the sprinting. The sound doesn't fit.

Speaking of sprint, I heard you have to click and HOLD down the left stick button in order to run in this game, just like Battlefield: Bad Company. Which is a terrible control scheme that wears down your controller.

Halo has done the same to mine (to be able to crouch) and since I use it a lot my left thumbstick is almost unuseable.

The graphics are beautifull, but I don't see many destruction possibilities (maybe with grenades it does work) when shooting wooden fences. That's a shame. Other than that, it's what I hoped for so far.

Im completely blown away.. Everything is so awesome. From the metal sounds when the jeep is bouncing to the transparency-AA on the grass and trees..
This is what i wanted Crysis to be. Yeah i know, Crysis wasnt meant to be exactly like Farcry in that sense, but wow just look at this.
Just another nail in the coffin of the idea that keeping the previous developers of a franchize is important.
Whatever devs are working on this, they are outdoing Crytek at every turn.
In my eyes as a gamer that is, where the moddability of the engine, how well it sells to other game companies etc means nothing :)
