Far Cry 2 - Console gameplay

Published 26 August, 2008 Duration 3:20

No, we don't know which console. You'll have to admit, however, that it all looks rather nice.

    Am presuming this is the PS3 version as the colours are all drab and the graphics blurry.

  • Triggerhappytel #2 4 years ago

    Even if it is the PS3 version (i.e. the weakest of the three, no doubt), it is still years ahead of other shooters both technically and artistically.

    Really looking forward to this. I hope it lives up to its potential.

  • Cadence #3 4 years ago

    Where's the colour?!

  • henry9 #4 4 years ago

    Nice ;* I hope the edit mode will be to ps3 to, but if not i just bay it to ps3 and pc

  • HolyJebus #5 4 years ago

    I predict the enemy AI lets this game down.

  • kangarootoo #6 4 years ago

    Hmmmm. And there was me thinking he was doing an ok job of creeping up, when in fact he got spotted from miles away through shadow and trees. Typical FarCry gameplay in that respect then.

    Actually, its looking more than a bit good.

    As for the colours. It could just be the video rather than the gameplay it recorded.

  • DUFFKING #7 4 years ago

    I think it's the Wii version tbh.

  • Der_tolle_Emil #8 4 years ago

    I guess that takes brown and grey to a whole new level. I think I saw a bit of color when he pulled out the map though.

  • MrWonderstuff #9 4 years ago

    So looking forward to this...think I'll have to by an HD ready tv now.

  • nedgip #10 4 years ago

    That looks awsome!

  • butler` #11 4 years ago

    More likely to be ps3 actually, the screen didn't go black and display "ERROR79" after two minutes of play.

  • ps3owner #12 4 years ago

    It's not jerky at all and since the PS3 is the worst of the 3 with regard to Hardware I reckon it's Xbox footage. Maybe even Wii footage, could explain the dreadfull aiming...

  • AJUK #13 4 years ago

    Looks nice, good to see a different lighting set-up instead of the usual bright daylight show so far. As for which console, it's probably the 360 as that is the lead platform (judging from previous videos) and who cares anyway? We know it's going to look exactly the same on both, just like usual. :)

  • dr_faulk #14 4 years ago

    Cannot wait.

  • Law07 #15 4 years ago

    Wow that was boring...

  • Scimarad #16 4 years ago

    Wow, the 'informed opinions' in this comments thread are truly hilarious:-)

  • Spooke #17 4 years ago

    Irrespective of what console it is, there is nothing new here.

  • Bagpuss #18 4 years ago

    ahhh, the old 'cross the bridge' level.....

    Anyone remember that in 'Black'.....on hard difficulty it was a bitch.

  • BigE0n #19 4 years ago

    How come theres never any wind blowing the trees
    :oP
    And yes the AI looks a bit dodgy i.e one enemy stands still watching the other die without taking cover!....?
    Also how come the Enemy never seem to own scopes for their rifles...?

  • Beats12 #20 4 years ago

    Maybe the time of day and the subsequent lighting make it look a bit saturated?

    Technically, it looks awesome but with regards to AI, I guess we'll just have to wait for a demo or the views of some trusted reviewers (the difficulty could be on easy - not sure if that would affect the AI behaviour, though).

  • BonzoBanana #21 4 years ago

    Looks ok, I'm neither impressed or disappointed.

  • bodypopper #22 4 years ago

    Demo videos are invariably on lower skill settings otherwise with some games we'd get two minutes of a player dying and respawning. I hope the AI is half decent though. Far Cry was hit and miss in that area.

  • BlackKraken #23 4 years ago

    mostly miss, lets be frank. And the aiming of the original far cry was pretty piss poor, nowhere near as precise as other FPS's of the time. I hope this isnt the case with far cry 2, oh, and the billion bullets required to kill anyone.

  • cymro #24 4 years ago

    looks very tunnely, he looks over a fence into a very standard looking FPS deep misty valley.

    not the free roaming environment I thought it was going to have.

  • septimus #25 4 years ago

    360: Anti-aliasing with feck all particle effects.

  • UncleLou #26 4 years ago

    Incredible conclusions people are jumping to based on a 3-minutes clip. No free roaming environments? How the heck do you tell from this trailer that it is linear, or there aren't free-roaming environments?

  • #27 4 years ago

    Looks crap no matter which console its on. Same old Same old.

  • Beats12 #28 4 years ago

    "Looks crap no matter which console its on. Same old Same old. "

    I take you're basing this opinion on the above video (which is probably on there to show what it looks like on consoles) as from what I've read, Far Cry 2 is anything but "same old same old"...

  • shotgun44 #29 4 years ago

    The sound is awesome!

  • Chufty #30 4 years ago

    Seems very de-saturated, maybe it's the time of day.

    I'd guess 360, as he's using a gamepad!

  • stoopidgreg #31 4 years ago

    oh... this was on gametrailers like, last week...

  • IneptPercy #32 4 years ago

    Look impressive for the consoles, I will just go straight for the PC version, will be the better eitherway.

  • lost_soul #33 4 years ago

    Nice sun effect, but the gameplay looked pretty generic.

  • kangarootoo #34 4 years ago

    "looks very tunnely, he looks over a fence into a very standard looking FPS deep misty valley.

    not the free roaming environment I thought it was going to have."

    We can't form final opinions based on one single video. And its not like there isn't already plenty of other videos out there showing us sprawling deserts and tundra scapes.

  • MajorStone #35 4 years ago

    ITS real time lighting. No magic bright lights like what get the X.box witch is on is knees world wide as sales of ps3 KICK ASS.

  • doctorgonzo #36 4 years ago

    It's ... like ... none more brown.

    Seriously, though, what IS it with modern games? Half the time it's so dark you cannot see what the SHAG is going on unless you turn off all the lights in the room and crank the gamma all the way up.

  • illusiondance #37 4 years ago

    Yeh, i was playing Black last week. Got stuck!
    Fantastic debut shooter and im convinced it informed everything about call of duty 4.
    Really wish e.a had sanctioned another.

    "ITS real time lighting. No magic bright lights like what get the X.box witch is on is knees world wide as sales of ps3 KICK ASS. "

    Love the way you ps3 guys big it up... latest worldwide stats as of 16th August 08 are as follows

    1. Wii - 31.12 Million
    2. Xbox 360 - 20.35 Million
    3. PS3 - 14.89 Million

    Doesn't look like it's kicking ass to me

  • ptgamer82 #39 4 years ago

    amazing game no doubt... and with the map editor and xlive joy...
    bye bye cruel world!-)

  • ptgamer82 #40 4 years ago

    amazing game no doubt... and with the map editor and xlive joy...
    bye bye cruel world!-) just thinking if there will be good online support here in Europe...

  • Alatair #41 4 years ago

    It's probably the weather that makes it look drab as it is very cloudy.

  • butler` #42 4 years ago

    tangerinemenace, when you factor in the 360's failure rate your awesome sales stats don't seem so awesome.

  • guernican #43 4 years ago

    I'm so desperate to be reassured about my choice of console that I'll spend 5 minutes Googling sales stats too. Or... wait... I could just have a wank instead.

  • tangerinemenace #44 4 years ago

    butler

    "when you factor in the 360's failure rate your awesome sales stats don't seem so awesome. "

    i'm pretty sure when one fails they don't go out and buy a new one, besides, if they fail that often why do people appear to still buy the xbox rather then the ps3?

  • huxathon #45 4 years ago

    hey they've taken the tagging binoculars out of the game. now how am i gonna wipe out 15 people from a mile away?

    also does the character have crazy mutant powers?

  • Moxyz1 #46 4 years ago

    The lack of colour in this game has worried me for a while as it made the first games island setting for me a great place to explore .I hope its just this vid and the AI is not too aware as it spoiled BF Bad company for me .Map editor look great though more colour please ..its supposed to be Africa UBISOFT ..

  • xboxsucks #47 4 years ago

    Wtf are you on about ps3 is the weakest hardware wise, no infact it is the strongest.
    I guess your talking about old games. Newer ones have already started to look better on ps3, and i've no doubt the ps3 version of this game will look better.

    Superior processor by far - I code for a living nubs. and cell kicks some major aSS

    Superior shader speed, faster texture throughput.

    And the free aa you 360 fans go on about, has to be done with tiling.

    sd you get x4aa.

    720p you can just manage x2 aa.

    Why do you think they put a upscaler in the 360.,lol

    Newer ps3 games have x4aa, KILLZONE 2 has this. It's all done on cell.

    So as the newer games come out, you'll see the better versions on ps3, same as burnout paradise. 60fps ps3, 45fps 360.

    Dirt is another. They just keep growing.

    Word to MS. Try calibrating your 360, way to much red, ati may give you a hand in this.lmfao.
