Far Cry 2 is coming in April, and here is the screenshots taken from Next-Gen website. You can read their preview article about Far Cry 2.
Graphics in Far Cry 2 look very realistic and it maybe able to comparable to Crysis. Far Cry 2 is not using the CryTek’s CryENGINE, which Far Cry used, or CryENGINE 2, which Crysis is using. Far Cry 2 is developed by Ubisoft, rather than the original developer of Far Cry, CryTek. Far Cry 2 makes use of a new graphics engine called Dunia.
Here is the video of the Far Cry 2 environment showcasing the new graphics engine.
Before any words to be said. Watch this trailer first.
Crysis, published by EA Games has been one of the most anticipated First Person Shooting game to date. The ultra-realistic graphics and gameplay, make this game one of the best games of the year 2007.
From the makers of Far Cry, using the new CryENGINE 2 graphics technology that runs on the advanced DirectX 10 platform. Crysis, is the most advanced graphical game made in the year 2007. The sad thing is, DirectX 10 only runs on Windows Vista, which is often ignored by gamers. Microsoft has announced that DirectX 10 is exclusively on Windows Vista, therefore, Windows XP gamers will have to play with DirectX 9.
Due to the graphical intensity of this game, Gamespot Review has gave this hilarious ‘negative’ comment: ” Will laugh at every CPU and GPU thrown at it”
It’s true to the present supply of graphics card and processors. The recommended specification for the game is as follows:
OS – Windows XP / Vista
Processor – Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.2GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+
Memory – 2.0 GB RAM
GPU – NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS/640 or similar
From IGN.
Even with the recommended specification, at ‘Very High Quality’, the game is beyond playable at 15 FPS, on a GeForce 8800 GTX and Intel Core 2 x6800.
As you can see, at ‘Medium’ Setting, the latest graphics card from AMD, barely make through the acceptable 30FPS with HD3870.
What can we expect from games in 2008?
Not all developers will make games that ordinary computers can’t run. What we can expect is, the next generation graphics and processors technology that will overcome the upcoming new graphic engine by whichever developers. With Phenom, Core 2 Duo E8000 series and the GeForce 9000 series impending, all we can do is to wait for them to come and thus play these games with more smoothness.
