I dont care if it looks like real life, the gameplay sucks, as soon as the "wow look at that" factor wears off, its a crappy shooter.

Well the sound problem i noticed right away. The AI is different but not neccesarily better. Hide in a bush and they look for you even while youre shooting at them
it had a lot of stupid bugs, i uninstalled it a half hour after i had installed it, never completed it.UT2004 demo is also beta and has it's own problems. I don't know why you think Far Cry is mediocre, I'd say it would be
UT2004 with it's mindless shooting and immature players.

Thats a great review, you played the game for less than a half-hour and didnt even complete it. I think I'd be able to pinpoint someone shooting at me from a 'bush'.

Hey Tabb I take it you have a 56k connection hence all the double posts. Anyways Farcry is an excellent game, I think it looks f*cking sweet!

I though DooM3 was a remake of the original, hence there won't be much writing if there's already a story they're re-making. Or is it not a remake?
I said except for the high res textures. The high res textures are good. 256x256 is not high, it was not even considered high when the Voodoo 3 was around. I'm not extremely knowledgeable on this subject, I just see that it looks good.
There is very little difference in the game between the medium settings and very high.
Well, you'd have to know because you said the game isn't interesting expect for the "EXTREMELY High Resolution Textures". Well, why would you say that? They just look high? So, if the game looks good it must have "Extremely High Resolution Textures?"
I don't believe you for a second. BTW, why on earth would you need 6xAA at 2048x1536? Heck, at 1600X1200 people say you can't notice a thing!
I played a full-blown version of Farcry at TXGF--on an a64 system no less, and it was QUITE impressive. I may have to spend the money for this game. It is a very pretty game. May have to upgrade my 2.4b before i get it though. :~]

I'm not looking forward so much to HL2 as to the army of mods it will spawn off (if valve is smart enough to continue the cycle)...as for CoD/bf1942...the world war II european theater thing has been done to death over the last 3 years...there were plenty of wars, do another.
I have an idea. High resolution textures look better than low resolution textures. Duh.
After taking another look, they don't seem to be that high anymore. The water effects are pretty nice, but other than that I don't see anything impressive about it. I don't like the way it controls. The demo isn't that great.
we'll see... i've played a couple of the levels and from what i saw they were all dark indoor areas. don't get me wrong, the game "looks" amazing but if that's the way the whole game is (indoors and dark) i'm not even going to bother getting it.Originally posted by: g3pro
for those who don't think they're going to enjoy doom3:
what did you feel like when you were first playing a first person shooter (doom)? what did you feel like when you were playing the first fully 3d first person shooter (quake)?
doom3 is going to be revolutionary. just wait.
Half-Life revolutionized the industry. That game had just enough outdoor environments to kick massive butt. I remember playing that game, just last year I beat it. LOL. Game was great. Coming from consoles and having played other FPS, that game is definitely a classic. The expansions weren't as great but still very interesting.
I must confess that I never finished Half Life... Or Unreal, or Unreal2, or Medal of Honor, or Call of Duty, or Return to Castle Wolfenstein, etc, etc. For some reason I either lose interest or get busy or something better comes along. The last FPS'er I finished was Halo on the XBox and that was in coop with my bro.
Must admit that the storyline of Half Life seemed pretty cool though. I don't doubt that HL2 will probably have a better story than Far Cry but we might be surprised. I'm looking forward to both. One thing I do wish is that there was coop multiplayer available in one of the upcoming anticipated FPS'ers. HL2, Far Cry, D3, Stalker, Painkiller, etc...

revolutionized? it was an fps with a decent story, above average ai, and decent graphics.. if there was anything "revolutionary" it came from the mod community and was called "counterstrike"
I read that HL provided an atmosphere. Before that, developers never put that much detail into it.
