I think Doom3 and HalfLife2 have tears in their beers after the release of FarCry. There is no way Doom will have a better story line and both need to throw in a lot of DX9 graphics to please everyone. The crowd is already angry at the long delays. I think these games will come and go within a month or two and people will be shouting for more.
right...even though everyone's just been saying that far cry is just to hold you over till these two come out...if anything far cry has come and gone within a matter of months...
who said people were angry about the delays? doom 3 was always "when it's done" and while the delay of hl2 sucks it still doesn't take away from the game...it's the sequel to one of the best selling and probably most spectacular game ever made...with cs comming to the source engine and the already released xsi softimage mod kit...hl2 and probably doom 3 will be here for a long time...
Ummm...Farcry's storyline is quite lacking.:)Quote:

I didn't even get farcry the demo was less than impressive to me so I figured why waste the money.
Yea most people I have talked to have said the storyline wasn't any good.Quote:

And like everyone else said, FarCry's story was so-so.
I doubt it. I, for one, certainly don't need the DX9 features to enjoy HL2. Heck, my card doesn't even have full dx8. :oQuote:

Wanna bet Doom 3 and HL2 will last more than 2 months?Quote:

Even if the game themselves won't last that long, the Doom 3 engine and Source engine will be used for years to come.
I can't think of anyone who's going to buy the Crytech engine... maybe if it is reeeeally cheap.
Farcry had an awful storyline.
"White Chicks" > Far Cry in terms of story-line.
Suck it down.?
FarCry had a story? Hmmm, must have missed it. At least it didn't interfere with the amazing gameplay and awesome graphics.
How can something that doesn't exist interfere?Quote:

One of the greatq mysteries of the universe.
This thread is retarded. lol
I can't think of anyone that would want to buy an excellent game engine and maybe sign the entire development team.Quote:

As far as the angry mob goes, just search these threads by title and you will find almost everyone wondering WHEN the games will be coming out. When? When? When? I ask you When?
The original HalfLife was totally awsome but now it looks like a cartoon. The standards have been raised and I will be expecting a lot. The story line in FarCry isn't much but the graphics are far superior to any other game so far.
I'll be back later, I gotta go rent White Chicks
Hold on, are you saying FarCry looks better than Doom3?, or you are saying this cuz Doom 3 is not out yet and no game compares to FarCry yet?
PCGAMER did mention that Doom 3 looks much better than FarCry
WHEN the games will be coming out. When? When? When? I ask you When?
augest 3rd for doom 3 and from the looks of it...hl2 can't be too far away with the 16 bugs to go news...other games such as stalker is due out later this year
The original HalfLife was totally awsome but now it looks like a cartoon.
of course it looks terrible...it's a 6 year old game...though to this day it's the most played game by far
The story line in FarCry isn't much but the graphics are far superior to any other game so far.
if graphics = staying power then aquanox would be the most popular game ever
That's some pretty backwards logic right there.Quote:

One of your main reasons why Far Cry is so good (and better than DOOM 3 and Half Life 2) is because the graphics are so good.
Yet both DOOM 3 and HL 2 will have substantially better graphics by all accounts.
I can also guarantee you at least HL2's story will be infinetly better than Far Cry's, mainly because to this day, even the original Half Life's story is far better than Far Cry.
Far Cry was a great game. I've played through it twice now and have thouroughly enjoyed it.
The story sucks. I don't see how you can argue that, but whatever. That's not the fun of the game. Far Cry was just damn fun because of it's beautiful, open enviornments, lush graphics, and solid FPS gameplay that didn't try and reinvent the wheel.
But I think it's safe to say that both DOOM 3 and Half Life 2 will probably outperform it in most repsects. As they should, really, afer all this time, hype, and money has been poured into them.
You haven't seen the Doom movies (mentioned in another thread), have you? FC is a generic FPS with pretty graphics. Doom is a successor to the mother of all FPSs and it's graphics will be second to none. And it will be scary as h*ll.Quote:

Wow, I hope this game lives up to your expectations. If Doom 3 sucks it sounds like there might be some people in these forums throwing themselves off roof tops.
I for one love FarCry, the plot isn't the most spectacular in the world, but it was pretty cool. I also wouldn't be to sure about people not wanting to lease the Crytech engine either.

What???
Well, now that I've heated up the water, let me stir the pot a little more.
First, No I have not seen any of the movie trailers for either game, only screen shots...Thats all, for over a year now and still waiting for the game.
I fully expect the graphics will be better than any of the previous versions and yes a better story too but as far as FPS'S go FarCry is the one they will have to beat. This year has been pretty dead so far except for the one day it took to beat Call of Duty. Also I'm not saying FarCry is in any way better than these two games (when they come out) I'm saying I will be expecting a lot out of them. If you look back over the last six years since the release of HalfLife there have been some good games and a few great games but FarCry has raised the the level of the graphics and AI like no other (yet) in a while.
I agree with your last post TXbrain. It makes more sense/logic than the other ones. I have a feeling that you won't be disappointed by Doom 3.:)
