Looks pretty good, but shocking, no. Thanks to Crysis, no game will shock me with its visuals for another year and a half at least.

Shocking? As in, shockingly good, or shockingly bad? lol

Anyway, from what I've seen, it looks great. I wouldn't say shocking (since I own Crysis), but quite good.

I play Crysis on Ultra with console framerates, so no game will ever shock me again. Far Cry 2's graphics looks like a mix of Call Of Duty 4 and Bioshock though. They're great, but not "excellent". I'll still pick it up for either PC or 360 though.

Not as good as Crysis mind, but definitely great.

Yeah, it does look beautiful. I saw a screenshot of dawn on a wide open plain, and it just looked awesome.

i never judge a game by screenshots.gameplay videos are another thing and fc2 i'll agree with you Mr TC that in some places it looks horrid. I mean the textures for certain things look apalling and distances look great and eye wateringly beautiful. Also the AI is as stupid as a bag of nails. I've seen videos where a guy got sniped and his partner just said "what was that?" no alert no nothing. And this was last week not some early demo. i'm hoping that these issues have been ironed out and the final version is an awesome game for the pc...and the consoles get a **** port.just because.

Agreed....I can only run Crysis on high in DX10 and I've never seen anything that comes close to the level of detail in that game. I'm guessing a good 2yrs before anything can beat it on a technical level, even then I doubt it will be an insane increase. We need more developers willing to push hardware to the limits even if it means less sales, sadly Crytek is the only developer that comes to mind... *sigh*

LOL fry cry 2 .... i think i need to add this into a sig of some sort, made me laugh for at least 15 minutes.... ahah I think it will be almost on par with crysis ... but with you know a decent open ended game. Crysis boasted all this openness but all i was left with was a lot of wasted realestate (we saw what 5% of that huge island...) just felt like a whole lot more couldve been done with the whole open game play engine they created.

The gameplay trailers I've seen makes me believe it is shockingly good.

And don't come throwing "But Crysis has better graphics" at me, Graphics doesn't make a game good.

The graphics look awesome, and the gameplay looks incredible.

The formula for a 10.0 game.

i got a chance to play this at the PC gamer showdown LAN last weekend and it does look very nice, but only at high settings, and considering they were running it on 3 GTX260's in tri-sli i cant vouch for performance at that setting. when at low it was kinda ugly, but i think i could still cope... the fire looks fantastic on high... definitely best out of any fire i hjave seen in a game and the lighting is great cos you get really nice rays shinging through trees etc

Crysis was like a mansion. It was huge, fantastic, and made you feel good, but if you looked closely it was empty and lacking personality.

The graphics look pretty good, but I'm definately waiting for a review before I buy this one. I've been dissapointed by Far-Cry in the past when it looked fairly promising.

Looks good but i don't know if thats console graps or not, it'll look great but crysis is still a lil better. I think it'll be a way better game overall though with all that it offers.

I don't know if its just you. I would have to test your eyes and do a highly specialised comparative research between the game and yourself.

Will you be requiring any further medical needs? I think you know which one I'm asking about, I don't want to embarrass anyone on this delightful forum.

While playing, we noticed that Far Cry 2 uses up to 60 percent of the CPU capacity in some situations. This is remarkable since those values are reached on the high-end device QX9650. The two programmers of Ubisoft, whom we interviewed, told us that a quad-core CPU would deliver 30 percent better performance on average than an identical dual-core processor.

The RAM usage is about 600 Megabyte – even after a long time playing on Windows Vista (32 Bit).

Minimally. Unless a game has horrendous graphics, the gameplay is really all that matters.
