I know many of you never got into FarCry but I suspect those that have thought it pwned. I thought it would be the BEST game to mod for Pirates - in a perfect world. Wink

Anyway 'Crysis" is coming (FarCry 2)... I am looking forward to this game more than I awaited HL2. Here is a review:

If anyone finds other good reviews please post. There are some sweet technology demo movies out there too. If you understand lighting and effects you will understand how cool this shit is...

its a preview not a review Razz

I posted a very early cam video a few months ago. If you search around enough you can find that and a higher res version of it.

the crytek engine is one of the most impressive ive seen in a long time, but i heard the mod tools arent as good as BF or HL2

i wonder if this is gonna be a new engine, or just an upgrade to the existing one... far cry is still quite impressive, i hope they dont totally scrap the engine

Yeah review, preview... eh, what's a 'P'? Wink I love the way everything will blow up (trees/buildings/runneded over bushes) put persist persist in game as wreckage. Thats the important part! Very Happy Holy shit man the RAM chips though... Between these graphics and a wholly interactive world remebering blown up stuff it is going to require a potent machine.

It is currently scheduled for release for 4th quarter 2006. Guess that means I'll be getting myself a new PC for Xmas. Cool

I had looked at the FarCry mod tools - and forums. Not many people involved in modding or much for depth of support either. Their AI stuff seemed really sweet though - good for coop/single player I guess...

I know they overhauled their engine when porting content to XBox. FarCry:Instincts (FarCry for XBox) was a changed game and accompanied an engine mod as well. I imagine they will be working up from the last Xbox version. Becasue of these changes and lackluster reception from mod community to FarCry I doubt their mod tools/support will be much better this time. I am pretty much convinced that Unreal is the way to go for mod support but I am pulling for spiffy Crysis support too...

Multi-threaded games here we come. Can't wait 3 years down the road.

Messy Recipe:  deleted all the last couple years worth of bots & managed to preserve the two real people that have posted since then xD

so many DELETED spam posts now tho that I think I'll need to automate cleaning those moreso than i already have

Messy Recipe:  sry about the bots :( been busy & havent gotten round to doing the usual cleanup

need to prolly stick this behind cloudflare or something

Drunken Monkey:  doing well, been building a hobby ranch of my own, got married, no kids, only dogs, sheep and a horse

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
Stealth:  Hello all! Head to the lounge and post a memory!
Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights
Messy Recipe:  oh gosh I really need to automate the spambot removal instead of making myself do it by hand don't I -.-
Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
