Is It Just Me Or Are The Far Cry 2 Graphics Look Shocking

i was watching a high resolution video of far cry 2 so bits of the game look shocking and some bits look alright for a game

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.

They look pretty good.

And did anyone else notice he called the game Fry Cry? lol

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.JP_Russell

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*

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.

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.ColdfireTrilogy

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.

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.

Now we just need to see the execution.

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.
