Here is a very interesting video comparing the water in Far Cry PC version (maximum detail) versus the Xbox 360 Far Cry Instincts Predator version. I have no idea where this video comes from, so take it with a grain of salt.
Update : I've just been told that this video was released by one of the FCI predator developers, originally only for internal usage at Ubisoft.

Download the video.

But it is still building up to be almost as good as its PC predecessor.

yes it is good looking though

I dont think anyone here is disputing that its not possible on a PC, I mean thats kind of obvious. I think most people are stoked that a console is finally getting the level of detail that weve been wanting since the Amiga days.
Also wasnt it stated somewhere that FarCry 2 wasnt in development (PC of course) anymore or something similiar? If so tis a sad day filled with sad sauce. FarCry (despite its age) is easily my 2nd favorite PC game both single and multiplayer. Just rock solid in so many aspects.
Also Do what deftech says and watch the video. Watching the waves lap the boat is almost hypnotic.

how did this become a "a pc can't do FarCry Predator like the 360 can" thread? lol
and I know we heard about the crytech 2 engine(or whatever its called), but I'd like to see it in writing that this 360 version of far cry uses it(I doubt it is). Last I heard that engine was being used on a undisclosed title.
@ the complaining about the waves. Good lord ya just cant please some people. Post by: Stravos on February 11, 2006, 04:09:00 PM

What ever happenned to the retracted news that the 360 can't do physics effect (like wayer) well. You guys remeber that?

I can only say that it's amazing.
The download isn't the fastest, but it's well worth it.

uh, farcry 1 will never have the DX10 crytek engine. Farcry 2, on the other hand, will. It would be rather difficult to compare farcry 360 with farcry 2 PC; not only is farcry 2 not even remotely close to being finished, but it is an entirely different game. That would be like comparing halo 2 to halo 3.

I was just about the say the same thing, but you saved me the trouble.
Point: Far Cry on PC was beautiful, now you're getting that and much more on your x360.
Precisely.
Like I said a few posts earlier, ya just can't please some people.
A comparison always has to be made and things go awry after that

I'd like to know where those waves are coming from. The trees aren't moving so there shouldn't be any wind. The waves are coming from the direction of a small cove it would appear.
good point.but they do look amazing

I hope whoever posted that this version is using the new engine, sees this. I knew it wasnt. Glad someone else could verify it was not.
