X360 water effect and things looks kick ass  

but comparing the old pc version is wrong  

[tonloc79]

That looks great! Makes me want a jet ski game though, with those water effect!

Man, those waves look SO good.
What ever happenned to the retracted news that the 360 can't do physics effect (like wayer) well.  You guys remeber that?

[richie579]

you guys know that crytek is with ea now right?.....their next game is called crysis, that's what's gonna use the crytek engine 2...I hope they get the ai right with fci360....the old xbox version pissed me off, the difference between NPCs reacting to you was a footstep when you were in plain view of each other....old pc version?...guys would track across the island just to sneak up on me after I would shoot at them, that was awesome...I'm lookin forward to this new joint though.

Edit: here's the link to the EA/Crytek announcement http://www.gamersrep....com/news/1157/

In case you haven't seen the latest Crytek Engine 2 (I hadn't) look HERE.

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

  I can't imagine them releasing a game with white-caps on a calm sunny day.  

that made me chuckle

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.

[lostboyz]

right i think thats what the video is showing. Far Cry had some really kick ass graphics, came out 2 years ago (guessing i never played but my friend played a lot when it came out), and so in just that short amount of time, a kick ass game gets better by a lot. this had nothing to do with comparing PC to 360. but what else are they going to compare it with the far cry xbox title?

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

[KAGE360]

video looks great!  and for the record yes, this still uses the old crytek 1 engine.  yes maybe the PC can run this water but that is not the point the point is to show how far advancements have been made.  looks damn good and now i cant wait to see how good the rest of the game looks, even if they only rewrote the shaders for the water and the foilage then it will still be a damn fine looking game.

[Deftech]

The lack of jaggies would have been enough for me, with some better ai. I tried the xbox version and laughed at it and removed it from the tray. The facelift the 360 version is getting is more than welcomed

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.
