Looks like 3Dc, SM3.0 and SM2.0x will be in Farcry 1.3

Hopefully this one will actually come out and not be recalled.

Yep that's awesome.

Release date?

Would luv to see that in action...
I remember some amazing screenshots with SM3.0 implemented,and I imagine SM2.0b will be similar.

I wish someone would make another game using that engine. Have finished far cry and life is too short to play the same game twice. The best graphics I have personally experienced while playing a game. :beer:

Cool. Maybe it's a good thing that I've not yet finished playing FarCry. 😛

Normal Map Compression. Requirements: NVidia: Geforce FX Family or better, ATI: x800 card or better.

Interesting; here's hoping the patch arrives before 2006.

I don't see 3DC in the features list.

same. I searched the page and found no string with "3dc" in it.

There is no graphical difference. It only speeds things up.

The screenshots you saw were from Nv's marketing department.

Nothing in this patch for 9800 cards?

Well I didn't know that. Makes perfect sense in this case,but it isn't so difficult to happen. I know that 1.2 was meant to be purely for speed purposes but I also have heard that there would be a future patch that would implement graphical differences too. Is that a fact?

I think you're talking about the HDR implementation patch, well this actually adds graphical improvements to the game.

No comparison, Far Cry is a tropical island and Doom 3 is yet another underground grungy dark complex.

So is this Nvidia rumours or a future patch?

I think they're both just perfect in their own genre. Kind of tough to compare one to the other seeing how different the games are.

another "future" patch? from the convo in the linked forum thread, Crytek developers make it sound like 1.3 will be the last patch, and then they'll cease their association with Ubi ( and the Ubi moderator makes it sound like his company doesn't like dealing with Crytek). looks like the game is getting "dumped". no 64-bit version then, i guess?

I'll have to agree with that. I absolutely adore both.
Far Cry for the amazing textures,higher polygon characters and generally for the incredible outdoor enviroment and DoomIII for the claustrophobic enviroment and the state of the art shadow/lighting effects.
