Farcry.. does it work for you?
« Reply #15 on: April 12, 2004, 11:38:45 AM »
This game has awsome graphics, sound and the AI makes it a challenge (eventhough I do not play in realistic mode :)).

I run it on AMD XP 2000+ with a GForce 4 Ti 4200. Settings are almost all low, but resolution is at 1280x960. I have a big monitor. :)

I can copy Kirin's review. Very accurate description of the game.  The levels are changing (inside/outside/dark/light). IMO the trigens (monsters) might be stupid and straight forward, but there always seems to be a mixture of mercs and Trigens and you never know when you get around the next corner if there isn't a trigen waiting for you, hiding or ready to jump on you or one of those with rocket launcher. Secondly, there seem to be trained trigens in this level now. OMG! :eek:

I'm at level 11 now and the fun factor is still getting higher. Quite uncommon for a FPS. ;)

Moot, the physics system is NOT from Max Payne 2 - we built it inhouse.

Glad you're liking the game guys! BTW I came up with the term 'TriGens' ;)

WTG Wilfrid, excellent game :)

My review gave it a 95 overall. The only downside was the less than inspired story :)

Great work! I spent 15 mins or so just shooting the shark and watching the results. Once I got bored with that I shot the chain.
Graphics overall are incredible. Would love to see a flight sim done to that level. I tried finding it locally earlier but everyone was sold out. Guess I'll play the demo a few more times. :aok

Cool!  Awesome job - I bought the retail copy this evening.  :D

Hopefully you guys will develop a strong mod following - that engine is far too good not to use.

PS:  Right before the handglider part, I had to satisfy my morbid curiosity to jump off the cliff.  I didnt make the water, but my bellybutton tighened up during the drop - the island just looks brilliant.  ;)

Two thumbs up!  

(PS:  Fix MP lag pls.)  :D

An excellent combo is the MP5+infrared goggles...single head shots taking out a patrol before they know what hits them

They are hard, for sure, but after you have killed the 100th, it becomes repetitive

Well...mutants are supposed to be dumb :D
