I donno what card was used for that screenshot but I've seen ATI card render a scene - metal pipe with rust and a focused torchlight beam - and lemme tell you it's great. Actually, I saw two screenshots, one by ATI (using PS1.1 to 2.0 or something like that) and another by FX (using PS1.1 and 1.4) The ATI screenshot beats the FX because of this.:)
you're just upset that FarCry pwns HL2.Quote:

compare with the HL2 screenshots and you will see how incredible FarCry's graphics are. :D
Pictures don't do it justice. Once you see the realtime reflections in the water and the huge draw distance, you'll be amazed.:)
YOU'RE DISSING HL2 SIMPLY COZ IT RUNS BETTER ON AN ATI CARD?! GOOD GOD MAN, YOU'VE BROUGHT FANBOYISM TO NEW DEPTH!!!:mad: :mad:Quote:

FarCry has much better gameplay, equal physics, and better graphics than HL2. :D
Wait a minute there...let's wait till we actually PLAY HL2 before making judgments. No, the beta doesn't count.;)Quote:

I'm really curious how he could've tested both games so thoroughly to draw conclusions about the gameplay and physics. :rolleyes:
yeah, I played both,and we really cant say what HL2 will look like...pointless to argue.
Now kiss and make up, you silly *****es !
LMAO looks like a nintendo 64 screenshot.... woot awesome graffix it's gonna own
Man, you guys are too jaded.;) The game is supposed to be slightly "cartoonish". (bright colors, muscular characters) You have to play the demo to see it. (reflections, huge draw distance, wicked water effects)

That screenshot looks a bit better, but I still feel that the trees and mountains etc, look too polygonish.
Agreed the water reflections etc are amazing, but the landscape ruins it.
Heck, Gothic 2 had more convincing landscape than Far Cry.
isn't that shot from your geforce 2 or something?Quote:

@ Mancora: Doh! That means I have to kill the guy the exact same way and take a another screenshot with high detail?!;)
ahh...that exlains it ! ti4600 isnt a directX 9.0 card. You're missing out on some sweet eye candy !
Better sell it before it becomes worthless , and get yourself a 9600 XT !
Bah, I just bought my Ti4600 from a friend for $100CAN to replace my GF2 GTS.:D
I only have a P3 1Ghz, 512mb ram, monster machine.;)
your rig should handle a new vid card, i think - as long as your power supply is good.
the bfg 5900nu for $170 is the best video card bang for buck
Here is a link that can give you some insite on how to get the demo running with some enhancements. Expecially for Nvidia owners.

soupnazi...
Funny.... I just read your sig. I used to work for Bose back in the early 80's. Never liked any of their stuff except 1 version of the 501's. Of course, being overseas, the cost was under 200.00 USD, making them a better deal. I totally agree with your data, assumptions and thoughts in general. Especially like the web posting. Great job!
Hehe...unfortunately I'm not the author the webpage. Credit definately goes to him for that excellent article.:D
what i HATE about farcry is the shadows or whatever on the rocks. They're like half black and half normal and all messed up looking, otherwise the graphics are decent. Is there a fix for the rocks?
