Just saw farcry2 gameplay and it looks exactly similar to crysis.The environment and setting also seems same.The gunplay and guns also looks almost similar.Overall it just looks watered down version of crysis.Will it be worth playing if u already own crysis.

Also i heard u control the story as it unfolds is it true?

How come 1st one used cryengine and this1 aint useing cryengine2.

i don't know. i never thought they looked all that alike, personally. i mean, i guess grass and trees can only look a certain way, but even beyond that, i always thought the games looked different enough that i never associate one with the other. maybe you could provide screenshots?

One is a linear, level based game, the other is a non-linear, non-level based game. In one you have a supersuit that lets you run super fast, turn invisible or have super strength, in the other you have none of these.

In one you are following a series of specific objectives in order, in the other you have only one objective and how you accomplish it is largely up to you.

The environment and setting also seems same.sandeep410

One is set on a Pacific island jungle, the other is set in the deserts, steppes and jungles of africa.

The gunplay and guns also looks almost similar.sandeep410

Only insofar as all FPS gunplay looks similar.

Overall it just looks watered down version of crysis.sandeep410

If by watered down you mean larger and less linear with more options and choices as well as possibly a large number of advanced and innovative technological/gameplay devices not used in Crysis, then you are absolutely right.

Different developers.

Listen sandeep410, you've made two threads today and it seems both are based on kneejerk opinions made immediately after brief viewing of a small portion of gameplay footage. Don't be so quick to draw conclusions when you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Hands down, Crysis looks better. But Far Cry 2 will most certainly be a better game...

It's not, but making multiple threads full of rubbish isn't a great way to make friends.

By that logic, all games set in even a vaguely similar environment look the same/similar. Half Life 2 is set in urban environments. So is Rainbow Six Vegas. They are similar environments, right?

And what do u mean by level based gamesandeep410

I mean there are levels. You play one level from the start to the end, then you move to the next level and do the same. Crysis is level-based, Far Cry 2 is just a huge open environment, like GTA or Oblivion.

Wow you just kill his thread... however i have to disagree with you in one thing, Crysis is not a linear game, sure is a level based fps, but the immensity of those first levels and the abilities offered by the nanosuit (used correctly) gives way more options than Far Cry 2 will ever do.

Yeah, but just like Crysis, when you've played through the story, the game is completed. No turning backs...

Don't be an idiot. He's allowed to voice his opinion, and prove you wrong. It's stupid making a thread and complaining if people don't agree with you.

NO FAR CRY CAME BEFORE CRYSIS IF NO FAR CRY NO CRYSIS

1ST crysis is semi linear with few options and no worldmap, far cry has a worldmap!

2ND The graphics are difirent style

3RD crysis relies in high tech nanosuit and powers far cry needs to use 100% reallistic tactics to survive!

4RTH ai in crysis is challenging but stupid and not reallistic or belivable eg they way they react to bullets is like you use painballs and also dont pick up injured enemies apart from that in the assault level the vehicle keep moving forward ignoring my existance either step on me or keep moving the driver stand still but in far cry they chase you and try to ram you like gta shooting them will knock them out guans kill people!

5TH crsysis has the most advanced physics so far the only thing we know about far cry 2is burning the enviroment and regenaration, not available on crysis and blowing up huts psysics also in far cry 2 the weapons are jaming and break up over time even get rusty, vehicles require your assitance to reappear them and it has animals!

6th no weapon mods or radar no tech stuff and as for ballistics unlike crysis bullets penatrate walls and there is gore and also enemies feel damage and fall down unlike the unarmored koreans that take 6 shots with pistols and move like unreal tournament bots when you shoot them!

7th in far cry 2 there is no health regen if you get injured by a fall you gonna have to pull your leg back to its original position and shoot enemies to the legs to fall down or try going at night and slit throats what you posted is dumb especially the watered down since its the only thing its not gonna be, unlikey it will be more complex than crysis, well if you refer to graphics you are propably right from what we v seen so far!

Well its pretty obvious to see that they're trying to incoporate the things that made far cry 1 so great, into both games.

fatshodan so thats why you dont mind the biggest crysis flaw you dont pay attention in ballistics realism and reallistic ai, aka reallistc gunplay like graw....hmmm no far cry 2 has the best ballistics i ever seen in crysis they suck so the gme sucsk for me (if it tries to be real and guns are fake...) i hope i explained myself regarding the crysis hate!

Well, I'd say Crysis' environments are semi-linear. There's no ceiling and the walls are a lot wider, but you still have to go from A to B, and you're typically only given one to three different specific routes through the environment. Compared with a full blown sandbox, I think it's fair to call Crysis linear. It's not a corridor shooter, but Far Cry 2 is to Crysis as Crysis is to, say, Quake 4.

I agree that the nanosuit offers the player with such a degree of choice and diversity that it's certainly impossible to call the gameplay constricting.

But I don't know that Crysis will be beyond Far Cry 2. For instance, you can stealth in FC2 through more traditional means - hiding, moving slowly, and using the cover of darkness. The extreme size of the maps means sniping is a viable approach, and you can actually use real sniper tactics like wounding an enemy to draw others out into the open.

I'm very unsure about FC2, but if it does manage to deliver on its promises, it could well be a Crysis-killer.

You're expressing (invalid) opinions on games you know nothing about. Don't you see how that's wrong?
