    Well I came here to be all cynical, but actually that little fire sequence is extremely impressive. If that is an indication of the general attention to detail in the game, maybe it's worth keeping an eye out for after all...

  • Rodney #2 5 years ago

    I like the style.

    The washed out colours in the landscape shots make it look like a painting. I think this gives it a bit of a distinctive look.

    The dynamic weather/physics sound good as well.

  • Grom #3 5 years ago

    so is this using a modded FarCry engine? Cos Ubisoft bought the engine didn't they? Or is it cryengine2?

  • stoopidgreg #4 5 years ago

    the fire looks cool. that is all.

    >so is this using a modded FarCry engine?

    yes.

  • Grom #6 5 years ago

    Does look very nice, well done to the team on establishing a unique look and bringing such great new tech in.

  • KraftWerk #7 5 years ago

    Hardly as visually impressive as Crysis, but they do seem to have found an environment that suits the gameplay of the most successful missions from Far Cry, a goal I believe that they were hoping to move towards. Less apes, more rifle. Crysis seems to be far more close quarters and disorienting forest skirmish. And could someone please shut up the looping audio in that Loki-ad?

  • Snooz #8 5 years ago

    Oh, this is not Crysis? Jeez, talk about confusing. It's like coca cola launching a light product under a new na... oh wait!

  • dadrester #9 5 years ago

    deserts are the new jungles

  • Nikanoru #10 5 years ago

    I didn't expect them to be able differentiate it from Crysis so well. Definitely looks nice. This actually seems to feel like an environment I haven't yet fought a hundred FPS battles in.

  • lost_soul #11 5 years ago

    Doesn't look as good as Crysis, but it does look interesting - particularly the setting.

  • Verwandlung #12 5 years ago

    I hope there wont be aliens in this.

  • BurningR #13 4 years ago

    It's a savannah, not a dessert.... :P

    Nice to see a good looking game set in Africa. I grew up there, and I must say that they seem to have captured the look of a savannah, which is reassuring. I'll probably buy it just for that (and because although I grew up there, I never had the chance to fight hundreds of bad guys with an AK47)

  • db3 #14 4 years ago

    Looking very nice indeed...particularly the spread of fire :)

  • Scimarad #15 4 years ago

    That looks unfeasibly pretty!

  • Mudo #16 4 years ago

    This games looks absolutely brilliant. The setting is fantastic.

  • Skurmedel #17 4 years ago

    They are proud of that fire FX, and for good reasons.

  • hiddenranbir #18 4 years ago

    Bah, my poor 8800 is already worked like a dog on CryEngine 2.0 now Dunia seems it isn't going to give much rest.

    >>>so is this using a modded FarCry engine?

    Really, it is a brand new engine by themselves. "Only 2 or 3 percent of the original CryENGINE code is being re-used, according to Michiel Verheijdt, Senior Product Manager for Ubisoft Netherlands."

    @Burningr - its an arid Afrikan tundra, not a delicious after dinner sweet... :P

    What I am really looking forward to is the sandbox style game play.

    I will mostly be going on Safari and seeing which exotic animals I can hunt and kill, tracking them through the trodden grass to their lairs, and then setting them on fire.

    On a side note, how come Resident Evil 5 is supposed to be racist because its stars a white man, is set in Afrika and naturally features a predominantly black populous to shoot at and kill even though they are zombies, but no one has mentioned diddly squat about the clearly abundant racism portrayed in this game, starring a white man (according to the machete screen shot) is also set in Afrika, with an equally black populous to shoot, stab, explode and set aflame, who are very much alive? double standards I say.

    RazorObsession - Get off the white liberal guilt trip.

    You'll feel better about yourself and sound less like an arse.

    A potentially great game.

  • AphoticCosmos #21 4 years ago

    Holy sh1t.

    I rest my case.

  • brockenheimer #22 4 years ago

    RazorObsession, you're right, he meant desert not dessert. However I think you meant populace, not populous (and what's with the k in Africa?)

  • peppergomez #23 4 years ago

    ubisoft is gonna beat crytek at their own game
