New FarCry Demo (You could say its a fix for the first one)

[MultiVaC]

Pvt Ryan just wants to play soldier, ... I think your expecting too much sir, perhaps you should start making your own game, with brilliantly realistic AI, ... Doom III doesnt have as much freedom WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT, ? its clear that your defending your beliefs on what the other games will provide,, but one second, ... have you played Stalker.? have you played HL2, (not the beta), You sound like your delusional about what this game was going to provide. Its beautiful. and you are a fool for slagging off this effort Eidos have put into this, not too mention everything will be fully editable when finished, (great for mod makers)

P.S the atmosphere from outdoors to indoors is awsome, I agree. and the water reflections in the cave, ,

Lol, and you look worse getting the publisher/developer wrong. It's a Ubisoft/Crytek game, no Eidos. But the A.I. really is just... eh. I mean, the guys can do some cool squad-based stuff, but when it comes down to thier actual goal (killing me) they choke. They spaz out and run back and forth. They blow eachother up with grenades. They try to swim to me when I'm picking them off with a sniper rifle. I mean, if you're being sniped, the last thing you want to do is slowly move towards him across open water. These are the kind of flaws I would expect from the 5-year-old HL1 engine, not a brand new game.

Anyway, Far Cry is gonna be cool. I just want the bodies to not vannish though :|

If you want the bodies to stay forever, just type "\p_deathtime 9999" in the console without the quotes. The bodies will never go away.

You can also squeeze a little more fps out of it if you type "\r_glare 0"

Unless you didn't download an illegal copy of the new demo from some guy who ripped it off a PC gamer CD, there will be bugs and missing textures.

And I also said:

- The presentation of the demo was horrible, a parade of missing textures and models (although I doubt that this is CryTek's fault)

I didn't blame Crytek, and I do know this won't be present in the final game.

As for the A.I., um...a platoon of mercs running over to investigate where they heard the sniper shots and calling in reinforcements via helicopters and boats isn't bad A.I. to me, don't know how high your standards are when it comes to A.I.

They must have some DAMN good hearing then, since they're able to locate me in about... well 1 second after I've made the shot, from 200 meters away....
Good AI is something different than cheating AI. Calling in reinforcements isn't brilliant AI either, it doesn't require much co-ordination just: 'if shot is "heard", then send chopper and soldiers that are present within radius x of soldier who "heard" the shot.'
Nothing brilliant this far. There's good stuff about the AI too, like co-ordination between soldiers within a squad, and their ability to seek cover, but all that is gone in the tunnel complex of the map.

The guy forgot to decompile and extract some files which made the level buggy and missing textures. He fixed the links to get rid of the grey balls. Also I think the monsters add a sense of mystery and horror to the game, maybe some people just aren't into that kinda stuff.

I loved Half-Life, I loved the Doom 3 leak, and I'm gonna love S.T.A.L.K.E.R. so I'm in monsters and stuff. But monsters just don't belong in this game. They don't create a horror atmosphere, they just make me laugh. Creating a horror atmosphere on a tropical island with the sun shining and waving palm trees is like creating a horror atmosphere in Teletubbie land.
I could have forgiven the monsters if they were well designed, but they are plain ridiculous.

Whatever though, you are entitled to your opinion but I think the demo rocks. I mean, I've seen the A.I. do some stupid things like running around trees, but it more than makes up for it by calling in reinforcements via chopper, land, and boats. I was VERY surprised when I saw the guys swimming over to my sniper spot to investigate because they had no boat.

I think the demo was awesome and I can't wait for the game to come out.[/QUOTE]

oops sorry, yeh Ubi soft . dunno what I was thinking. (its not a simulation its a game. its not real. its a game, ITS A GAME. and a good one at that. unless your a stiff realisim luver)

 

[ray_MAN]

I just got it on my PCG disc and I didn't get into the tunnel yet. I was having too much fun playing uber hunter!
/me likes the game and the fishies!

 

[clarky003]

lol, swim with the fishies

 

[A2597]

So...whos gone fishing....MP5 style? :E

 

[Letters]

Well, I finally played the new demo today... and it runs! Wow! And with good settings!

I must say... awesome. I've never had so much fun dying before!
Seriously, it was hard as Hell to get in that damn cave...

 

[ray_MAN]

I just beat it on Hard today. Pretty short. Only two rants:
1) The AI seemed to have taken a dumb pill in the cave.
2) When you get to the top of the hill on the beach, it slows down like I am playing onlie with a 28K modem.

That whole beach was a physics test. Not there is anything wrong with that. I am just pointing it out.

 

[thenerdguy]

I let my older brother (The marine) play last night. And he had a blast, (He likes rainbow six and thats about it) He thought it was cool that the Ai would user cover and cover fire for each other. He liked it so well he played for severial hours.

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

I've played the MP beta and both demos, I preordered the DVD yesterday.

Although the demos had rough edges, imho they still were able to bring a unique atmosphere and gameplay. the gorgeous graphics and attention for detail, the setting of a tropical island, the water effects (drool) , can't wait to have the full game!

 

[theneb]

Far Cry quite simply rocks, I've already begun tweaking elements in the game, I've got friggin sharks roaming the land, don't ask me how. When you leave boats I've set it so that the gradually drift out to sea. I've got the buggy driving underwater, I'm invisible to AI.
It's quite simply some of the best fun I've had in adges.
In regard to the research map, I started by using the sniper rifle to hit the two beach radio's, then the two beach explosive canaster's, this wiped out a few guys, I then advanced hiding behind rocks until I could get in position to take out the mortar.

 

[A2597]

I got on the far island, and used the SR to take out one radio.

this got numerous guys heading my way, once they rounded the bend and started swimming...killed em.

total of five kills, 2 others still on way. used my hand gun to get them. dumped hand gun, dumped machetee, picked up P38 and MP5.

I mentally heard the UT2k4 announcer "RAMPAGE" after that.

 

[thenerdguy]

Has anyone gotten together a list of all the console commands? I know that i can open the console and hit tab and go trough soime but im not sure what they all do.

 

[theneb]

There was a great site at http://personal.inet.fi/atk/kjh2348fs/fc_demo_info.html and it had all the commands and tweaks, but today's it's gone.

 

[csmighty1]

I stil don't know what to think of Far Cry. The first demo I got didn't have the buggy in it and the AI was retarted. They didn't call in reinforcments or anything. It's kinda wierd, I've talked to other people and their demos are slightly different than mine. Oh well, I get PC gamer so I'll install it off the disk. By the way, my Steam is gone. It won't even start up anymore. Need to delete it and install the new copy

 

[hokai]

Can any1 plz post a link 2 where I can download the original demo?
Cheers :thumbs:

 

[SubKamran]

I loaded up my saved game and I saw...AA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I have Cat 4.2.

Too bad I have to uninstall the fricking game because I have so many mods it dies when starting a new game.

Hokai: Downloading @ 120KB/sec, 3dgamers.com Torrent file.

 

[csmighty1]

does anybody know a store in the UK that I can get the DVD version from? I am in the US and their against DVD's =(

 

[Munro]

csmighty1- I think the best place for you would be to shop at www.gameplay.com. You can buy the game for £24.99 and ship it to you for just £4.95 which is a pretty good deal. You can view the product here
