The engine behind FarCry just got a makeover. If you ask me, it almost rivals the new Unreal engine, and is way beyond any game currently available.

Ah nope, while that engine is very impressive, its water is definitly behind HL2, never mention UE3.

Also, face models need alot of work.
Also cool is that the movie adds backstory to FC's story.

However, its also missing some nice dyanmic stuff, walls look really bad.

But impressive for that engine, a great improvement.

Bah Mr Picky.
Looks awsome.
I only hope they can make the game more fun.
That's where it's biggest issues were, once you beat the game, there's nothing left to do...

Looks pretty good, but other than cramming the most texture detail as possible into everything and using a dodgy soft shadow kinda thing (which looks pretty crap IMO) I'm not seeing anything particularly new.

It hard-reboots this computer (on-board Radeon 9100 IGP).

EDIT: Watched the AVI instead. Danged lo-res thing. Can't tell crap about quality.

I can't wait until they get PC's powerful enough to run games with radiosity lighting in real time. Hubba hubba!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
