    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.

    compare with the HL2 screenshots and you will see how incredible FarCry's graphics are.

    Pictures don't do it justice. Once you see the realtime reflections in the water and the huge draw distance, you'll be amazed.

    hahahah, you're such an ATi fanboy that you actually read my original statements in that way! heheheh.

    FarCry has much better gameplay, equal physics, and better graphics than HL2.

    Wait a minute there...let's wait till we actually PLAY HL2 before making judgments. No, the beta doesn't count.

    Yea, agreed.

    I'm really curious how he could've tested both games so thoroughly to draw conclusions about the gameplay and physics. :rolleyes:

    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.
