Anyone try the new FarCry demo?
 

Was going to download it but some of the farcry forums talk about there being a lot of bugs. So has anyone tried it? if so please give us your feedback..

ive seen screen shots and it looks awsome, but i hope the mulitiplayer demo comes out soon

It doesn't have a setting to max out detail, that's my only problem with it.

my comp kept crashing

Frame lag like a mofo. Could use some minor fixing up in a few graphic departments. There was a small white line, appairently a gap, in the skin of the handgun.

Plus sides. Forest are EXTREAMLY dense, with great ground cover. Water is stunning and when swiming underwater you can still see above water, and AI can see below. Ai is smart and will call for backup, using cover properly and coving eachothers movment. They seem to have super vision though as 90% of the time sneaking low through the forrest i would hear them yell out that they had spotted me and i couldnt see shit. Enemys dont show up on radar until you acctually see them, and added plus.

Killing ai can take as little as 1 well placed chest shot, and you wont be making any one man army runs at them. The open ended objectives leave you roaming around with no real preset path. Ai dosnt spawn after being killed, and there is a set number on the map. They have asigned patrol paths but can be distracted by happenings elsewhere. Therefore they are rarly in the same place twice once into the game a few minutes.

Should be an interesting game when released. I only wish that it ran a little smoother.

What are your computer specs ?

I'm in line to download this mother... can't wait to try it out on my already
"passé" box! (1.2ghz, 640 sdr + gf4 ti4600)

p4 2.0 ghz
1024 DDR pc2100
G4 4200 Ti 128DDR

p4 2.4 ghz
256 DDR
geforce 4 MX (yeah maybe thats the problem)

Yep Merlin, I bet thats it.
I'll try to d/l this. 500 MB for a SP demo? My ISP sucks, and it'll have a hard time with that. oOo:
This game has leet graphics, I'm going to try it with my AMD Althon 2400 2.0 Ghz, GF4 Ti4600 128, 1024 MB PC2100 RAM...

Alright i just ran throught the thing again. I updated my vid card drviers just to be sure i was current. I maxed out settings that are important to me, ie environment, models, so forth, leaving the rest at medium to high. Running at 1024x768x32 with medium antialiasing, my vid card forces 2x on all programs, which is probably what medium would have been. Also i heard from a beta tester that if your not using the "Very High" setting on lighting than you may acctually degrade proformance because it will not be using the DX9 renderer.

The biggest tweak i did was something i hadnt thought about until i rememberd playing VC for the first time. I upped the mouse sensetivity to about 3/4. That tends to fix the "sluggish" response people complained about in the controls. Worked in VC, worked in FarCry as well. This made for a great game, and i have a totally differant view of the game after doing these small things.

Also finding out that the binoculars can pick out enemy's at great range made the map far easier. Also hiding under the docks and making noise so they would look for you made it easy to kill that entire group.

The scenry is incredible

that game looks soo seckse happy: happy: happy:

yah Ok those are fucking sweet. ed: happy:

Can't wait to max the settings out, when the game comes out.

your computer, no matter how power...on full settings with this game.... would EXPLODE

Thanks for the SSs, I guess I'll download this tongiht and give it a shot. I so hate SP but it will give me somthing to try before they release the MP part or the game itself. Hell I have not even touched the sp part of COD

I forgot to mention, that when you've got the binocks up it has a microphone. You can hear the chater of the troops your looking at, motors running in the distance, footsteps, and so forth. There are alot of items to make your sneaking succesful and generally alot of information coming back to you via hud, that is very well done.

I hear you Rude, i cant wait to see what they have in store for MP. Im drooling over the potential. With all that foliage i can see snipers being good for controling sections of map. IE making people not want to travel through sections for fear of being sniped from nowhere, and therefore moving into other sectors where some heavy weapons could be.

Just gotta sit and wait, MP demo is slated for early march, with full version mid to end of march.

Makes me want to buy a new vid card, just for this game.

i need one for the 04-05 games

AMD XP 3200-Water Cooled
Geforce FX 5900 128mb
1024 DDR DIMM Hyper X RAMM


I don't think so man, and I think in multiplayer the whole island is in use which is great, Like misguy said I can't wait to see what else Far Cry has in store.

i want to buy a house on that island

I've played a bit and I really enjoy the physics and AI. The graphics, of course, are excellent. I can imagine a Counter-Strike clone for this engine easily...

The game would be less laggy on the full verison right?

downloading now on kazza @ 65kb/s. the wait on some servers was 30 hours

I have an Asus A7V133 motherboard using an AMD 1.2ghz Thunderbird,
640 megs of SD (yes, single datarate) RAM and a 128Meg GF4Ti4600.

The game runs VERY WELL at 1024x768 @ 32bit and all original settings.

Hopefully, I hear the developers are actually paying attention to community feedback, let's hope they don't pull an IW on us.

fuck this when soldner comes out u may never see me post here again.

with soldner i dont give a shit what it looks like. its all about the game play happy: Im not sure what stock soldner will be like. Im guessing its gonna bull a bf1942 & have a ton of mods released.

Soldner is looking fucking mint as well.

it will be my dream game. it will have customizable skins, bf1942 scale battles. great AI. and too many weapons to name, not to mention your basic classes and other things like ironsights (i think it might not be true, im not sure). ITS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!!! sub par graphics is the only bad things

Its like a flight sim. Its more of a fighting sim. more about gameplay than looks which will hopefully stop some noobs from getting th game.

im buying it the day it comes out. *preorders it *

I'm curious about soldner...it says its multiplayer...is there an online fee?
damn i'm going to run out of cash...too many good games coming out this year.

lol, there wont be an online fee. the game is already out in germany i think and the bugs should be well worked out :)

lol thats why i got CoD...for SP...
the MP is good, but its pretty similar to RTCW

Get a job.....

I have a P4 1.8 a gig of ram GF4 4200 128 ram.

I have to run it 800x600 or its unplayable. Graphics are nice though and its a blast trying to drive the various boats, cars etc.

I found the sniper rifle rather hard to use and found it somewhat surprizing that the M16 wont kill with less then half the clip unless its a headshot.

I found it effective to go prone when firing on them.

I've have to get used to that open map thing kept getting lost looking for the objectives.

*lol*

I hear you merlin, I'm also looking forward to soldner as well as DF-JO My roots are in DF, I'm use to the no map boundaries. Hell I would laugh at people saying maps in MOH where too big biggrin:

im gonna download farcry and try it again.. then maybe go shopping for new hardware

FOR THA LOVE OF GAD!
 

P4 1.5GHZ
GEFORCE FX5200 128MB
1023MB SDRAM

How well do you think it will run on this set-up??
