It si DVD more trouble than worth, it installs at 3gig then refuses to run on DVD drive, it installed so wgats the problem.
Shit protection and poor programming thats what. Typical of us in UK to get screwed over again.

Nin, you evil bitch, leave poor The_Truth alone. He's getting his degree so he can become a corporate wageslave like the rest of us. Let the boy fit in.

I just don't want him to have any (gaming) regrets in life...

I must be a damn picky gamers. I haven't seen anything I would consider "good" come out yet this year. Far Cry is ok, but the demos were kinda boring.

Still waiting for the good stuff to drop.

I am sure that I read somewhere that it’s CD’s for the US and DVD for Europe.

...for Half-Life 2 and Doom 3, it will be nice to finally play a "Wow" game.

Almost done with Gothic 2 :(,

I love you, mom.

As far as I know the german version will be DVD only, and most likely also the UK version. No info on U.S. versions though. BTW I'm pretty impressed that one of our few german studios managed to create such a cool shooter.

AFAIK, there will be CD and DVD versions, maybe DVD-only in Europe.

Hmm, then why is there only one version for sale on EB and Ubi's website? And why doesn't it mention that the game is shipping on DVD since it is listed as a requirement? Something is weird about that.

Also, why does the bonus include: "Pre-order Far Cry and receive the Far Cry "Trip Planner" CD along with the massive 500MB Far Cry Demo Disc." Who wants the demo with the full game? Or does that mean they will send the demo disc as soon as you preorder?

"Bet it plays like shiat on 64k ISDN too :/"

After being on the MP Beta, I can assure you it plays like shiat regardless of the bandwidth! Just hope they fixed it in the past month.

Uberzip: Do you use FSAA and anisotropic?

Ant: If you read the provided docs, I believe they recommend the cat 3.9s and nothing else. The latest DNA drivers work for me, and I run an AIW 9700pro. I also found I had major problems with the first demo if the out of game settings for D3D (which I used as the renderer) had any FSAA or AA set; these settings in game made no difference (except minor performance hits). However, I was in the MP beta, and both out of application and in applications settings worked fine with no corruption whatsoever, and it seems that the out of game settings were used rather than in game settings when the game was running. On top of that, the framerate was WAY better, and much much more stable.

They said Far Cry would be DVD only. As someone else said the AI was left somewhat to be desired. After all the beauty they created with lush tropical islands I'm suddenly jarred out of the immersivness by a damn mercenary trapped behind a palm tree spinning round like he's caught in a whirlwind. Argh!.

FarCry, UT2004, Painkiller, BF:Vietnam and Pandora Tommorow

With all these great games coming out within a month of one another I really hope they do not cancel one another out. Can just about afford it... Maybe.

Why did they have to all appear at the same time, oh Lord? Why??? Are you punishing us for wanting Half Life 2 too much???

This is going to be a DVD only release, right?

I really liked the demo, but I really wish I had a less crappy computer.


Oh well i'm a bitch so i'll buy it and play it on low details.

Moog: I am using the newest Catalyst drivers (v4.2). I had these problems in v4.1 as well with the first demo.

Ant @ The Ant Farm: http://antfarm.ma.cx

Looking forward to this one!!

What problems? What Catalysts? I bet I can help you fix that crap, I had a lot of it myself. Anyway
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!
sooo many good games

gamers' pants get sticky all over
