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:

I'll be back later, I gotta go rent White Chicks
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:

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.
Hahaha, no way, 3DMarks would be the most popular game!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.:)
taking out graphics.. farcry was one of the most mediocre games i have ever played IMHO

Agreed...I grew tired of it after getting about half way through.
I don't give a flyin fart about graphics...Gameplay and environment are where it's at baby! BAM! :)
EDIT: For piss poor grammar.
The funny thing about the Far Cry arguement is that I kinda disagree with both sides.Quote:

Those who think far Cry is one of the greatest FPS games ever, or at least of the past several years.
And those who think it's boring, reptitive, mediocre crap.
Far Cry didn't revolutionize anything (except for maybe graphics), but it didn't do anything wrong either. Some people seem to rag on it because it wasn't revolutionary and didn't try and reinvent the wheel. I don't think that's fair unless you are looking for a completley new experience, or are judging it against the best games of all time.
Far Cry is a solid, solid shooter with excellent FPS gameplay, interesting additions like vehicles and huge enviorments, and fantastic graphics. Just because it doesn't become the next Half Life, doesn't mean it's not a very good, solid game.
I guess thats one of the drawbacks to such an overcrowded genre now. FPS are so common and so overdone, that if a shooter doesn't bring something really new or interesting to the table, it's going to be poorly received.
far cry was unique in a way where you had massive open environments that hasn't really been experienced in a single player game before...
i know this may not be a popular post, but if we're talking about solid fun FPS's, try painkiller. i know, there's no story (not much anyway). but this game is just plain fun. it doesn't take a hoss of a machine to run it and if you have a rig built for doom3, you can crank up painkiller to high res, high AA/AF, turn on the 5.1 and just have a blast. i got stuck on an early boss (the necrogiant) and quit playing the game. i recently got back into it and i am absolutely LOVING this game. i can't wait for the expansion pack. and it's really holding me over for the next week.
one thing i'd recommend however is that you play it with the strategy that you will play doom3 - only at night and in the dark. the first level and then asylum...just plain creepy. i actually got scared playing asylum and was thinking to myself "if doom3 can take this feeling and build upon it, i'm in for a truly amazing experience."
pick it up and try it out. i promise you won't be disappointed.
