Quote from: neXusWhen you not playing it to the full potential - yeah it wont look right and this and farcry make no bones about it - top end dogs bollux pc or it will look crap and it is not aimed at low spec pcs at all

Indeed. My point however is more that some less "chart" games have managed to look good maxed out on top spec machines, whilst still looking ok on much more basic settings too. Maybe its just not possible with this kind of game, as obviously losing the vegetation would change things dramatically.

QuotePhysics - good, though I noticed that it seemed when shooting out to sea at boats, the "splashes" were about 30 further away than the boat was, not sure what was up with that.

Objects have thickness and if you shoot through something it will go through it

If we presumed the shot went where the crosshair was (were talking single shot whilst prone etc, not automatic with me firing constantly) the splash would appear in the area where the crosshair was, not 1cm above it is what i mean! And this is easily reproducable and not a case of accuracy of the gun, as if it was, surely the splashes would also appear in front or to the sides. Or have they factored in different materials in crysis so the physics calculates ricochets through the front of the hull and the back, angling the bullets off totally in random areas...

I noticed the petrol cans are really bouncy when you throw them at the com-thing youre supposed to disable.

Theres a delay in firing and the bullet hitting the target if you shoot long-distance. I aint noticed bullets landing in odd places though. Ill try shooting like youre saying later.

The AI is well tardy sometimes, theyll shoot each other and throw kamikazi grenades. If you shoot them in the back sometimes theyll aim their guns 180 degrees from you. They cant aim for sh*t in general, I let a bloke with a pistol have a go and it took him 10 shots to hit me (lying on a rock & visible).

The bit where you dl stuff from the Internet theres a fence around that outpost - get the other side of it along the rocks and you can shoot them and they cant even see you lol.

Gonna try on hard later.


Those warships shoot missiles btw

are there any other weapons apart from the pistol, 2 rifles and shotgun in the demo?

Ive seen a few videos of the demo. The suit seems a very powerfull tools.  

Some chap was switching between stealth and super stregnth to stay hidden and on top of rooftops.  AI seems very easy to confuse if you take advatage of these tools and create distractions.

I will have to get around to playing the demo some time.

I have to say I was not impressed with the AI, halo 3 has better AI but it is the same with many games it depends on where the focus of development goes

just played it for the first time... not the kind of game id normally play... but pretty good :-)

edd... those were the only guns i found :-o

ive seen screenies of a minigun and the obligatory sniper rifle

/me needs a sniper rifle !

Quote from: Eddare there any other weapons apart from the pistol, 2 rifles and shotgun in the demo?

grenades, duel wielding the pistols, mounted guns, the trucks, trees, the suit, a rocket launcher

wheres the rocket launcher?

I cant believe you can pick up a tree but you cant hit people with them. cloak + tree bat would be sweet as.

you can shoot big ones they fall and land on people and kill them

u can use the editor to use all the weapons, ace

I played it again today in windowed mode, having tweaked some settings. Put a few things on high and a few things on low, everything else on med.

Ran much smoother and looked better. In Vista no less.

Though right at the end where the demo ends, it BSODd me haha. Whether this is due to vista, or the nvidia driver, or my RAM I dunno (Long saga with ram, ended up being a case of the timings not being autoconfigured by the BIOS. Previously anything memory intensive would crash the computer. Has been crash free until now...)
