far cry demo is out, what is your fps

[Rage187]

HINT: Pause the game when you are waiting on the guy to open the security door, when you unpause he will have it open before the helicopters even get close!!

Nice little bug


BTW this game rocks and is on my list of buys.

Amazing graphics, but is noticeably slower than most games I play on 1280x1024 with all details maxed and 8XAF (no AA, doesn't work in this game and causes artifacts... I really am getting tired of Ubi-Soft and their AA problems) on PC numero uno.

I use 2xAA, maybe that's where all the flickering textures are coming from,hmm.

On Hard, the AI is better, a little impressive.

~23kbps down, ~8 up for now (just started). Using bittorrent kinda feels like sorting garbage and recycling. Feels good to give back, esp since it takes very little effort!

Yea, I am getting some strange shadows...

Thanks for the tips guys on the demolition pack. I went back out on the jungle looking because the guy said that they used it for clearing brush.

Another question. I planted the bomb and ran as fast as I could, but didn't quite get out in time before it blew up. It did blow up though and the game seemed to end because I can't go back and redo anything. Does it say whether you live or die in the blast? Is there something additional once the thing blows up if you get out of the building when it goes up?

Thanks again guys.

Use the sprint key to run faster. But I think it doesn't matter, either way the game ends with the radar blowing up. Would've been nice to see him actually jumping clear of the flame and into the water or something.

I got the download immediatley (25$ a year for gamespot complete is worth it IMHO) Anyway, it was ok. AI was great. It looks good, but it was buggy.

Ran great on my system

I think it has some of the dumbest AI I have ever fought.

Hmmm. Good for you.

The AI in thies game was not difficult for me, but it was smarter than alot of AI I have seen in games recently. What shooter have you witnessed better AI in? I didn't say it was HARD.

Call of duty seems tougher, but that's just because they constantly rush and mob you. Rushing and mobbing may be hard but it isn't intelligent. The AI in this game seems to flank well, doesnt always stay in one spot when you shoot at it, doesnt just rush you, and actually takes cover.

It wasn't difficult at all, but it did see more realistic. Don't get the impression that you are good just because you like swarm-y AI. That's just as easy to beat.

You're the one with the smart ass remark.

Try reading the rest of the forum, your answer may have already been said.

You were the one with the smart ass remark, I was just responding to your childish remark in a way you could understand, but obviously it has you riled up. My answer to what? There was never a question asshat.

See, you thought I was childish. You haven't played the game on medium difficulty haven't you? When you go around the rock that the guy is hiding behind and you stand behind him, while he is looking for you says, where did he go, and then you shoot his ass. That's not the best AI, I've ever seen. So, my statement was correct. You just assumed.

I did use the sprint key, but I can't seem to clear the door by the time it blows up. I realize now that I've replayed the last part that if I don't get out alive, the tower doesn't blow up and end the game.

It would've been nice to see the guy jumping clear. Maybe he will in the real game.

I figured everything out except for three things (with some help from you guys )

How do you aim the sniper rifle? I never did figure that out. How do you pause the game? I don't see a mention of it. Also, once you've enabled the FPS info on the screen, how do you get rid of it? I can't get the data in the upper right hand corner to shut off.

if you compare this game to lets say Max Payne 2 or Prince of Persia I think it is lacking in the graphics dept

Lacking in the graphics department! Max Payne 2!? Max Payne was a five hour shooter that looked a little better than most of its rivals. Everyone has his/her opinion, but I can't even imagine comparing Max Payne 2 to this game. They're in completely different leagues- graphically and gameplay wise.

And to anyone who dismissed the game because of graphics issues (particularly those with ATI cards)- realize that problems with ATI cards are widespread, but are being worked on. You're missing out if you write of Far Cry because of issues with the demo. The game doesn't come out until the end of march, you're not playing the final version.

How do you aim the sniper rifle?

Right click, scroll forward/backward to adjust zoom level

How do you pause the game?

Press Escape

It's a demo. I mean, if you lay prone guys will rush up to and past you for no reason. Then you shoot them and they still have a hard time finding you. Other times you'll be "hidden" in grass and be getting shot at by 5 guys because you were heard from 100 ft. What I think is cool is how they'll recruit help from other areas as soon as danger pops up so you're not only focused on the enemy in front of you. It isn't perfect but it's still a pretty good game so far.

Especially considering the definite lack of quality pc games that have come out lately.

I've played some PC games, I'll tell you my list in a bit, but this doesn't seem to anything impressive. It's just another else that they applied to piss you off, but nothing like wow, impressive. AI is better in Halo. At least in the console version, haven't played the PC version.

Call of Duty - Haven't started it yet - got it yesterday.
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
Spearhead
Breakthrough - Haven't beat it yet.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Unreal II - haven't beat it yet

Most of these games have AI that just try to dodge your bullets and and shoot back at you, nothing wrong with that. I've seen other games call reinforments, it's nothing new. They just do a little different. The only different game out of all of those is probably MOH which in some cases an enemy has to finish going from point A to point B before he even notices that you are there. Now, from the games I've played, on medium, the AI in Far Cry is stupid. Really stupid. When you put it on hard it becomes a little bit better, - that should have been medium to me.

I just disagree with you. I have played all of those games and everyone of them had pretty much standard AI. Some are harder than others. The AI in halo IS harder than in Far Cry, but it isn't smarter. Halo AI just consists of creatures dodging constantly to the point of being unrealistic, and mobbing you with tons of creatures/lots of fire. It certaintly isn't smart. The AI in far cry is a bit more realistic. Personally I like immersiveness more than I like difficulty. If all I wanted was for a game to be hard, I would still be playing 8 bit games. The fact that the AI you fight in this game feels more realy makes it more fun. Maybe the mercenarys in that level just suck. It's not like everyone in the real world is a ninja and can kick your ass. Some AI opponents being easy is OK. I like the demo because it looks good and creats an immersive feeling enviroment. Some games are challenging, some are just fun, and some are fun and challenging. I enjoy them all.

I doubt that they are different in other levels, that would be very innovative, to have every AI act differently, some being easier than others. The game, I agree, is great and the graphics and and AI immerse you. However, the Demo lacked in story; very important. I don't know what the story is and it discourages me from buying the game, but I'll check it out on the package again if I ever see it.

 

[Special1Sauce]

I haven't even heard of this game. Must investigate.
