Far CryPC vs Far Cry:Instincts360

PhysX chips FTW!

Indeed. I can't wait to see if the PPUs will be all they are cracked up to be, especially in terms of real fluid dynamics....

PhysX chips FTW!

For maybe enough water to fill a bathtub, certainly not an ocean.

Its not like it would really add anything to the game anyway. Making the environment destructible is a far better use of power.

torso boy, are you high?
How can one not love to launch a million tons of rocks into the ocean to create a tsunami!!

Wow, the water in that video looks pretty cool. But my PC could easily handle those graphics if the Far Cry frachise hadn't been stolen from PC gamers :|

;(

Good thing Crysis will pwn all

Wow, the water in that video looks pretty cool.

Sure it does...if boat just passed by. If that is how water will look even in a calm bay or inlet, then this is the worst example of trying to do way too much for no apparent reason other than to look cool in comparison videos :|. If there's not a good reason for the water to ripple so much (i.e. a storm or vessel), then its only included why? The answer from the devs would be, "Because we can." Idiotic.

It looks like their water is completely relief mapped rather than geometric. I wonder how the game handles boat wake and splashes?

Either way, it definitely looks pretty

EDIT: Actually, I take that back, it's geometry blended with normal mapping as the water recedes into the background. ****in' sweet, very clever.
