Far Cry Wii

[Massive Invisible Dog]

Better graphics than this? Perhaps Xbox level?

So you've seen the final game running then? How was it?

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Frankly I think the Xbox version didn't look very good either.

Only a matter of time before someone said this

So you've seen the final game running then? How was it?

You've got a point there. In motion, the game actually has fifteen times as many polygons on that shed, for a total of 60 polygons. And texture detail comparable to the PS2. Ubisoft just released screens for their game that made it look like an N64 title for PR purposes.

Edit - In fact, that's their plan. Far Cry Wii is in fact going on virtual console for N64. You read it here first.

Oh, ffs, I'm perfectly aware the game might look better by the time it comes out. But i'm looking at these photos now and they look like utter shit.

Don't be ridiculous. Clearly the game has every chance of looking far, far better and you should take that into account. Why, as far as I'm concerned, Metroid Prime 3 looks like Halo 3 because of the remote possibility that it will end up looking that good.

If you laminate that, you get what the finished version of the game looked like.

[Smitty]

Don't be ridiculous.

I am so ashamed.

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

I can't believe people are actually defending this game which clearly looks like poop and comes from a franchise which hasn't delivered anything remotely beyond average in it's previous guises.

If it was on PS3 or 360 people wouldn't even have second thoughts about ripping 'generic shit shooter #4368368' to pieces.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

Who's defending the game? Far Cry is terrible. I just don't think it looks that bad, it's certainly not on a par with Rampage anyway. It just looks like a shoddy port,and when it's actually running will probably look about the same as the Xbox version.

[Alex W.]

Nothing looks bad compared to Rampage, MID.

Far Cry Instincts on Xbox, for comparison:

[Rsdio]

The Xbox game must look like the Killzone 2 trailer when it's in motion then, judging by that shot.

I can't remember reading that it was a port of the Xbox game before anyway... That Eurogamer article says it 'tells a new tale about protagonist Jack Carver'?

[merge]

Amazing

[murray]

Ok, so the graphics weren't all that. But the control system interests me. And as someone who hasn't played Wii yet. It looks good.

[Smitty]

Amazing

It doesn't look much better in motion?

I AM SHOCKED.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

Amazing

Yeah, that looks fine. The controls look better than Red Steel, at least.

[scottcr]

erm - look alright to me, and seems to control in the same way as Red Steel. What are you expecting 360/PS3 type graphics?

[murray]

Yeah, that looks fine. The controls look better than Red Steel, at least.

How do they differ?

[Massive Invisible Dog]

How do they differ?

The gun didn't look as ridiculous as they were aiming. It's probably more or less identical, really, but that video definitely didn't look as silly as the Red Steel ones. That might change when we see some longer videos though.

[lampkin]

Looks good to me, can't wait.

If you're talking about the fact that the gun doesn't swing around like a fucking fishing rope then you're probably right.

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Looks better than those screens at least, but it still looks like a mediocre game to me.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

It's Far Cry, I'd be amazed if it even reaches the heady heights of mediocrity.

[PopeSmokesDope]

I liked the 1st one on the pc, right up until it started going mental with weird hybid monsters.. up to that point is was quite good fun.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

I played the Xbox version for about twenty minutes then turned it off.

[pelago]

It looked ok to me. It's tricky to tell framerates and resolution issues from low-res/low-bitrate online videos anyway.

[djezz]

I played the Xbox version for about twenty minutes then turned it off.

I stuck with the thing right till the end, i cant believe that you gave up on it after twenty bloody minutes.

Its not fair that you got to be that much smarter than me.

The wii version doesnt look any worse than you'd expect a version of far cry to be though, whats the problem?

[Massive Invisible Dog]

Oh, and while it looks technically fine, it otherwise looks like a fucking mess. The enemies looks like shit and the environments look really dull, just like the other Far Cry games.

[scottcr]

I didn't see much wrong with it either - like the move forward to zoom in with sniper thing although I believe Red Steel does this as well.

It's hard to really tell from such a low quality video.
