Not disappointing, really - I thought it looked excellent. By the time it comes out, it may look a bit bad compared to other shooters released at that time, but oh well.

But you can't say that the physics, weather cycle, fire ect isn't spectacular.

No, its graphics wont be better, and it wont require a better PC unless its really poorly optimized (which I doubt)

Can anyone talk about graphics without someone jumping in and derailing it into game play?

Yes game play is important, we all get that, this topic is about graphics. Just because people are criticising graphics in this particular moment in time doesn't mean they think graphics>game play.

Got it? Right.

I have yet to see the screenshot so cannot really comment on visual differences.

does anyone know what it will be rated because i dont like games with a bunch of cussingarbiterspartan

It will almost definitely be rated M, due to violence, gore, and probably language. The original Far Cry had violence and gore, and I can't remember whether it had language or not. But it's safe to say it will get an M rating.

I believe you also kill "young" adults. Atleast, from one video I saw awhile ago.

Why would anybody think that graphics will look any less than crysis? game developers never take a step back on graphics they always bring out the best they can , and was crysis bad? I don't think so ,so Im pretty sure that Far cry 2 won't be dissapointing graphics wise.

Graphics aren't important, they're a bonus.
Several of the really old games are far more fun then most of the Newest games that has amazing graphics.

nah, not true. older games are not more fun. its just that were getting older and the older we get, the harder it is to amuse us. kind like that first line of coke. you spend the rest of the night tryin to get that same feelin.

This thread is a mess. I don't even know what screenshots we're talking about - unless it's the July screenshots. And those look better than the original released screenshots.

There are more variation among older games then nowadays where you're either a marine, soldier or some other gung-ho with testostorone up to their scalp.
Also there's more focus on making it look nice rather then throwing out a decent story and good gameplay, the reason is just this. Many gamers are focused on graphics and how that is the most important thing for a game, as long as you can't see the difference between what's on screen and in a window, you get to run around with some assult rifle and there's enough explosions around to put you into a seizure then the "modern day" gamer is satisfied.

So yes, Maybe I've had my great lines of coke and I'm addicted to them.
Because only the best is good enough, and my Coke is Great gameplay and fun that you have by playing a videogame.
Graphics are a bonus.

There are some of the latest screenies I can find and if you think these look bad then you're out of your freaking mind.

Sure, it's not better than Crysis but nothing will be for years.

Those screenshots look totaly awesome, but judging by the screenshots i'll probably only be able to run it on medium to get a reasonable ammount of FPS, like Crysis(fingers crossed it won't be as demanding).

Why would? Because it's not using the same engine as Crysis. And not same people.

Developers have said that they want to keep graphics on the same level with consoles. So that means those aged consoles have to have as good picture as PC's.

Wow. I made this thread more than 3 months ago.

My opinions towards the game have already changed, as it already looks really great by now.

The official minimum system requirements for Far Cry 2 are as follows:
  • 3.2GHz Pentium 4 or 2.66GHz Pentium D (looks like it takes advantage of multi-threading)
  • 1GB of RAM
  • 256MB GeForce 6800-series GPU or Radeon X1650

The game also requires Shader Model 3, so it won't work with ATI's older X800 GPUs. By comparison, the minimum specs officially required for Crysis are a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 and a Radeon 9800 Pro. However, a machine based on those specs would be reduced to a gibbering wreck by Crysis at anything approaching half-decent settings.

Meanwhile, the recommended system requirements for Far Cry 2 are as follows:

  • Core 2 Duo or Athlon 64 X2 5200+
  • 2GB of RAM
  • 512MB GeForce 8600 GTS or Radeon X1900
Do you think your machine will be up to playing Far Cry 2?
