REVIEW: FarCry Demo in PC Gamer
Just finished the demo I got w/ the latest issue of PC Gamer.
Graphics are stunning. Crawling through individual blades of grass,very cool.
The NPCs details are what you would expect of a Year 2004 FPS game. Did notice some NPCs getting caught behind objects, doing the eternal crouch/stand routine. Also, NPCs are VERY accurate shots ( :Pwned: Ouch! that hurts), even at long distances.
Movement is somewhere between the "glide/float" of Wolfenstein and the rocking gate of CoD. Bad Point: you must hold the crouch key to stay in a crouched position Got tore up pretty bad by the NPCs because I fell back into the CoD rutt, thinking I was in crouched position, when i was actually standing.
Weapons are very realistic looking, both in visual and sound representations. the M4 is a very accurate representation.
I think the full game version of Far Cry should be a very intersting game to play. Will definately be adding this to my FPS library.
