B.Ob. Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 If you havn't heard of it, you own it to yourself to check out this interview. "Although Far Cry isn't due out till March next year, its release will be preceeded by a beta test phase that will put the FPS's multiplayer component through its paces. We caught up with Crytek to discover exactly what to expect from this part of the game." Don't forget the tasty screen-shots at the bottom!!!

Dragon Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 I seem to have caught everyones' attention with this game. Since just about everyone knows that I'm not a fan of FPS, unless they've got some really good twists and a good story line, me bragging about this game is a big thing. I've got a damn good feeling about this game. I still haven't heard anything about the beta yet but I have till the 28th to see if I got in.

Nemesis Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Hmmm... so is this spec sheet trying to tell me that my Radeon 8500 isn't up to snuff for this game? Interesting that I need to be using drivers 3.9 or higher, not to mention geforce requires certain drivers as well. This is kinda like a *nudge* in the direction of "Yo, go out & get as close to a new video card as possible if U wish to truly be able to play this game" sort of thing. Video card companies can really start to make some $$ now if developers start making games that will ONLY work on the newer stuff, not that THEY would ever do something like that -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Well, I don't know if I showed you the videos from the game Nem at the last lan party, which you can check out here but from the looks of it, its very understandable. I think their just looking to take care of all the bugs in multiplay with this beta anyway. I'm not surprised to see the GF 4 or 9x00pro cards on the list. I bet some people with GF3s and low 9000 cards could sqeak in there and play the game. I bet you and I could manage to get our cards to run the game decently. The Crytek engine is very efficient, better than anything we've seen so far in my opinion. Dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Oh, I had no doubt that I could play this game on my current card, it probably wouldn't look all that HOT & move very well, but it would probably play. -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wargasm Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 I think we need to build a time machine so we can go forward 10 years to buy a computer....just to not have to worry about it for a while....hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I think we need to build a time machine so we can go forward 10 years to buy a computer....just to not have to worry about it for a while....hehe. Now that's the first good reason to build a time machine I've heard in awhile. In other news, Gamespot.com has updated their preview of Far Cry and it looks like Ubi is set to release a single-player demo on Jan 21, next wednesday. If you'll excuse me I'm going to go crap my pants now. Dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 This just in, Far Cry was just leaked, booooooooo! From what I've been reading it just the mutliplayer beta but still booooooooo! Dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 In case anyone is wondering, I got my oven mits on the multiplayer. No high textures, medium is as high as you can go and it still looks good. There's two ffa maps and an assult map. Something to try at the next party.

Dragon Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 For the Far Cry lovers out there; Far Cry Demo Preview The single-player demo should be out later today or for the net savvy, its available right now . Told you guys this game is going to kick some ass. Dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 The official single player demo is available here, but you gotta have bit torrent installed (which is kinda cool itself). I'm over halfway done and will leave my torrent up for the rest of today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Sweet, I'll have to make sure that I chk this beauty out when I get home. Hopefully my video card will handle it -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Hey Nem, I don't think you'll have any problems playing it. The multiplayer runs well on my machine but it is only a beta. I should have the single-player demo within the hour and I'll let everyone know how its running. More links to demo Even more links Dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
