Looks incredible.

Of course it would, it almost looks as good as Petz (As SL would say bar all the BROWN!) I wonder where all the money came for this *ponders*

Meeeehhhh.

omg black ppl is razist. I'll probably get this provided it gets very good reviews. I had the first Xbox one which was ace but a little hard to get into. I'm praying for a map maker

omg black ppl is razist.

And Resi 5 has all black people too, are they becoming the new Natzi's?

I saw loads of live footage on both platforms via live feed from the Ubidays event in Paris last week, both versions looked amazing.

Looking and sounding great.

The first one was great. The best thing was the map-maker. I spent hours on that thing. The 360 version looks slightly better. To be expected, though.

I really cannot fucking wait for this game now, the wait has been unbearable.

How awesome?

I'm no pro-PS3 person, but banging this 360 > PS3 stuff is getting old.

this game looks awesome & i might get

Console or PC players will be able to dive right into it from the in-game menu, and all subsequent map publishing and sharing amongst users and such can be dealt with within the game. Also, all created maps will be for use in the game's four multiplayer modes, so don't expect to create some kind of elaborate map and tack it onto the single-player game world. There's certainly a wide variety of tweaks you can make to your map in the editor, but you'll need to keep in mind how many objects you're adding on consoles. Too much stuff will result in slowdown and the like, but there'll be handy gauges at the screen's top that update as you add and adjust content, letting you know how close to capacity you are. And at any time you can drop into the map and test it out for yourself, just to see how things look and perform.

The map editor lookes amazing, finally I can make those urban maps I always wanted to without the buildings looking identical like the first one.

Yeah it looks awesome, and in keeping with the quality of the last. It's looks easy to use, also it has a lot off options which should be great for the creativity we will see.

The map editor was immense on the FarCry Instincts. Some ridiculously talented kid made this awesome map called 'Bombs over Japan'. Anyone who played it on XBL will know what I'm on about, heh.

It has EVERYTHING I've ever wanted in an action game, from swapping out medkits with crazy injury fixing mini games (take abullet out of yuour body with pliers!) to fully day/night cycles (Crysis probably doesn't have that, not sure, could be wrong), 100% real time lighting everywhere, nothing static, amazing fire effects, freeform gameplay, AI behaves realistically in the game, when it's night time they sleep, when it's lunchhtime they eat, when you go in blast away half of them then jump in a car and drive off THEY ACTUALLY CHASE YOU IN ANOTHER VEHCILE!

But yeah, 3 years of hardwork gets this result. Amazing. Simply amazing.

Crysis had real-time night and day cycles also.

Sounds awesome, this MP is going to be bad ass

Have just got Crysis. My impressions are generally good. Very much like FarCry, which I've played a very small amount of, but it's almost like FarCry 1.5.

Short summation of Crysis impressions=

Anyway, have been keeping an eye on FarCry II, and will continue to do so. I think it should provide most of what Crysis brought to the table, and some other more interesting aspects besides.

Show Spoiler

Was a bit of a mare to set up, download the patches, configs, etc, but I got there in the end. Got it running comfortably in Very High, which is nice. The game itself is pretty good so far. The running and jumping and shooting-shit is all above-average fare, nothing spectacular, but good solid stuff. Storytelling is a bit clunky and the cutscene/cutaway bits where you lose control and it goes �widescreen� seems positively Jurrasic after Half-Life 2.

The graphics are undeniably good. That first sunrise is incredible, as is the detail on the enemy soldiers. Photo-real at a glance. I think more could have been made of their animation, specifically their deaths. A bit more authenticity perhaps � everything else looks so hyper-real that they look a bit too ragdollish. And bullet wounds would�ve been nice, but I�m picking. My first shark shit me right up!

The most impressive aspect of the game is what it indicates is on the horizon. For example, I�ve just been through a forest, an actual forest with individual trees and bushes, and it all looked� like a forest. It sounded like it, with rustling and flys. I could see my legs and my shadow. Dappled light flickered over the foliage and leaves tore away as bullets ripped through them. It�s a proper forest, and I didn�t realise they could do that yet. I thought that, despite advances in window-dressing, Jungle from Goldeneye was still the way it was being done for another generation or two.

So yeah, that was cool. I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone saving up for a 5 grand PC to play it, but it's worth a look if your specs permit. It is frightening just how quickly you take the graphics for granted though, and even start picking holes in them.

Anyway, have been keeping an eye on FarCry II, and will continue to do so. I think it should provide most of what Crysis brought to the table, and some other more interesting aspects besides.

I think you might be one to appreciate the "Core Level" when you get to it. I will not ruin it for you but what I will say is just enjoy it, so messa round when you can if you are in a safe area. You wont play anything of it's kind in any other shooter. The first time you get to it it will be like a Metroid experience, you will spend a while looking at things in detail, in awe and wonder, sometimes shooting at things just to see how objects react. Their are some MP maps that use the dynamic.

Start jumping on some roofs in maximum strength and kicking arse, that's what Crysis is all about, aggressive play, that apples to cloak also. Use it to sneak up behind enemies switch to strength and knock them out. Too many people I see playing use cloak as a defensive ability far more than a aggressive one, I just think it's a lame and dull way to play this game to shoot and then go into cloak immediately. You will have so much more fun with Crysis if you are bold in your use of abilities and not shy away from using strength, it's far more fun that way. Devising traps and creating scenarios where you can blow up a whole building so that tens will die is great (Petrol Station).

Far Cry 2 will have Predatory DLC, in that I mean you will be able to download Lions and Hyena's and other predators that can kill both NPCs and yourself.

It would be great if there are some Hippo's and Baboons as part of this.
