Which game do you think will be more playable by the supposed release of farcry 2, which is fall of 2008. What graphics cards are we going to need to play them...three 9800 gx2's four 9800gtx's???

Worse graphics, bigger hardware needed to run it. We're not talking about a reputable publisher here, we're talking about Ubisoft, so expect the worst.

Crytek are the ones that pushed the beauty limit in farcry and in crysis. I suspect farcry 2 will not push hardware quite as much, but I hope I am wrong. I actually like having games that go beyond what current hardware can do. People complain about crysis, but Farcry and Oblivion did the same to some degree. I say bring it on Ubi; make our jaws drop.

Yeah, that's a scary possibility.

Mehehehe... possibility? More like a reality... As much as I liked Far Cry, I am already prepared for the worst, so I won't be disappointed when it comes out.

"Farcry 2 is made by ubisoft not crytek." ....When did I ever say anything about that?
Anyway, back to the topic.
I was reading that farcry will be based in Africa, which hopefully means there is no water or alien spacecraft around. The water and the aliens always seemed to give me the most trouble.
dude have u not seen the videos yet? check youtube for some gameplay footage from the developer. Looks sweet I say, pitty we have to wait 8 more months for it.

It's not going to be a system killer if it's coming from ubisoft subdivision who made 007 series.
Who cares about those two, Starcraft II and Fallout 3 are coming
Looking forward to those (even though I never like fallout, I did try to play them all..) And Crysis sequel won't be out till late next year anyway. Screw FC2 lol.. never really liked Ubisoft games, except for far cry.

I've bought a few games in the past from Ubisoft. Great visuals, but buggy, slow, unrealistic. I mean, in Silent Hunter 3, it could take 4 torpedoes to sink a PT boat, and up to 7 to sink a small freighter. I've read enough accounts from real u-boat action to know that one torpedo was usually enough to sink a freighter, never mind a flimsy PT boat. And then there were the times when you got sunk the moment a mission started, before leaving port or anything. Like you say, its Ubisoft, so expect the worst. I've learned my lessons and won't repeat the mistake.

Evil lurks in the databanks as it lurked in the streets of yesteryear. But it was never the streets that were evil.
Appearantly you guys haven't checked out any trailers for the game. It has some pretty impressive technology. The world also progresses like it should. There is day and night cycle, which seems pretty cool, and the graphics look nice as well. I like the locale of the game, much more original than anything I'v
