    Is it just me or Far Cry 2 is turning into more STALKER like free-roaming type of FPS.

    Yeah that was their goal in this game. There are different factions you can befriend and if you help one you will become enemies with others. Lets see how deep they can take it.

    It looks nice. But I swear , this thing will turn out even more demanding than Crysis by the looks of it.

    i doubt that...if it was as scaleable as the first far cry it should be fine, they did not optimize crysis very well.

    i hope i'll be able to play the game ;\ graphics look amazing but i have a feeling they will do a better job than crytek in making it run on most computers (especially after the first far cry which ran on everything)

    I can still watch it, maybe YouTube was updating the site or something.

    I'm glad everyone is enjoying the video. I am really looking forward to FC2, I like how interactive the environment and people are.

    Nah to me it looks equally as good as Crysis in graphics. Just look at the screenshots on their homepage. Crysis is no graphics King anymore when this hits the market. Not that I say this will look better than Crysis but definitely equally as good.

    I am going to miss the caribbean setting with awesome beaches and sea. This one will be brown in color as compared to the blue and green Farcry :mad: Even North Korea looked like Caribbean in Crysis :confused:

    Thats whats great about it. The African savannah is gonna be great. Few games have done it there and not remotely as detailed as FC2 will be.

    The game shows a lot of promise,but even the demo they showed hickuped a few times.
    I`m scared of stuttering or bad performance , ever since I player Crysis...

    If those med are shaders and shadows,it`s going to be just as Crysis then. So it`s bad.
    However , my GTX did Crysis on 1024x640 ,all high at 20+ fps.
    I`m hoping for similar results in FC2
