Haven't been to Africa?..Don worry here cause here comes Africa to your Desktop.......Here comes Far Cry 2........

Release Date :- October 31, 2008

The next installment in the ground breaking exotic-non linear FPS series..........

Far Cry released in 2003 was a huge technical & game play achievement for Crytek. It won numerous awards, critically acclaimed, won the hearts of many hard-core gamers world-wide..........

Now developed by Ubisoft studios, Far Cry 2 is set in Africa,........Crytek is however not involved in the development of Far Cry 2 ( I think they r busy with Crysis 2 ). To make Far Cry 2 as realistic & exotic as possible, the Ubisoft soft dev team went to africa and they lived in Camps with the wild animals, they came back with dozens of hours of HD Videos and photographs of Africa to create this wonderful game......

Far Cry 2 will use a newly built Engine called 'Dunia' Engine.........

-> Gameplay area will be 50sq kms
-> Completely non-linear
-> Complete Day/Night Cycle
-> U have a map and a timer in your hands that u can use to navigate to
-> Encounter African wild animals

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ or P4 3.2Ghz
IGB RAM

Nvidia 6800 or ATI 1650 or better

12GB HDD
Nvidia 8600GTS or ATI X1900 or better

that assures that FC2 will go flatout on ati hd 4850.
but at what resolution can similar setup play it at?

I think the Dunia Engine won't be resource hungry as CryEngine 2, so if Crysis runs @ medium settings, then Crysis Warhead will run @ high-settings, then FC2 will also run @ high settings but at possibly higher res than Crysis.......

I think a single HD4850 can run Far Cry 2 @ high settings @ 1280x1024

it will be resource hungry...! fpr sure..!

Environments in games like Crysis & S.T.A.L.K.E.R. pale in comparision to environments in Far Cry 2.............

check out this screenshot:-

A complete African setup of FC2 would never come close to a Island based levels in Crysis.Mainly because of the vegetation & the detailed involved in that dense jungle.I am anxiously awaiting this game to release & judging from the new factors which are involved in the gameplay, I'd say it's going to be one hell of a title.Especially after having a beast of an AI in the original Far Cry this should be atleast upto the mark (if not better).

EDIT: To the OP, please reduce the size of the screenshot.It's making it difficult to post, not mention scrolling towards the side.Resize it to an acceptable limit.

I am in love this game and cant wait for October 31st. Thank God its releasing on that date coz my b'day is on 1st November and I plan to get a C2Q + Good mobo + 4GB RAM + The most VFM GPU at that time .

Hope I will play it @ high.

From an artistic & designer's point of view, Far Cry 2 is better than Crysis,COD4,Bioshock & Gears Of War.

Only S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has better environments & level deisgn than in Far Cry 2

^^True. But FarCry 2 will beat STALKER : Clear Sky to Oblivion with its grafix as I have played STALKER : CS's Russian Version. Just finished the download today morning and played for 15mins. but quit bcoz of Russian.

PS:Ur config is ur signature right?

 

[Psychosocial]

^^Ya right. I ran it maxed (except AA) and it was fine @40FPS .

The gameplay is STALKER. Just played for 15mins.
Dunno much but looks impressive.
