64bit Far Cry

[Golgatha]

"AMD's goals are quite admirable, but the fact of the matter is that none of the visual improvements enabled by the Far Cry patches had anything to do with AMD64 or EM64T. They are artificially limited to run on those platforms alone, but could work just as well on a 32-bit platform."

I don't think giving owners of certain hardware a better gameplay experience is admirable on the part of AMD or UbiSoft. Same thing goes for the new Splinter Cell game and shafting ATI owners with Shader Model 1.3.

I agree on both points although it would be interesting to see the framrate hit on a x86 system from the new FarCry eye candy; unfortunately, the marketing money keeps that from being a possibility. This sort of thing has been going on for a LONG time and won't change no matter how much we hate it.
