One thing I've noticed in a lot of graphics engines since Crysis came on the market is the shadow aura every object and person in the game seems to emit. Pay especially close attention to the aura the old man emits on the background in the house in that german video.

This also heavily annoyed me in Battlefield 3. They are using so much shadowing that it's becoming highly unrealistic and flawed as objects are casting shadows onto background when there either is no light source, or the light source is coming from a completely different angle than the shadow seems to be giving an impression of.

That said, though. The game looked marvelous when the character was running outdoors.
 
Oh yeah, I bring good news.........,:D

WWF are going to love this..........:D

Think ill leave watching anymore vids untill I get the game now. Watched the animal one, but 2 hours video could spoil it a bit l think. Seems cvg is the place to go once the game drops, cheers Dd.
 
I saw another version of the same Animal Kills vid where the player teabagged the dog after stabbing it...something seriously wrong with that person...
 
Pre ordered the game already a while ago, same as Black Ops 2, Hitman and Assassin's Creed 3.
Stupid idea, now I have 3 started games, with number 4 in the pipeline.
Some long weekends ahead.
But the game looks just awesome.
I thought FC2 was genius and loved the open world, but FC3 is even better.

I kinda got bored with FC2 after a while since the massive map was pretty dull.
Haven't read much about FC3 so I don't know how large the map is compared to FC2, but I know the environment looks way more exciting in this one.
 
Yeah the map could have been a little bit more exciting, but the freedom was great.
What I read so far, is FC3 does everything what has been complained about in part 2, e.g. respawning checkpoints, fasttravel and also variety of the map, better.
 
Well I am actually interested in getting this, haven't played an fps game a long time, the roaming free is always a big plus. (which is why I enjoy playing Just Cause 2 from time to time)

Map Editor Trailer
 
I had lots of fun with the map editor in FC2 which is still alive and thriving...for now, as this looks like a lot more fun. I also like the addition of the single-player vs bots 'n' beasts idea.
 
Yeah finally a SP builder. Awesome.

Thursday's gonna rock!

Have the big edition preordered with the figurine. Can't wait. Customizable weapons are a nice touch too. A silenced .50 cal 👍

I'm not proud to say it but I spent nearly 6 whole hours nonstop LOL. couldn't pull myself away, It was like Vaas had me imprisoned in my own room LOL. Totally impressed so far. INSANE edition M700 sniper rifle, Hmm, So satisfying popping heads with that thing. After such a long anxious wait. Its truly lived up to my expectations. So happy. 👍

Haven't even tried CO-OP or MP yet: D

After game report : 9h36min

:lol::lol:

With a lots of pauses... but still

You can be proud, its a great purchase.

The game is awesome. Graphics are really good for a console port. Story seems cool so far.
Shooting and sound of weapons are good.
Wild life is awesome.

If you played Red dead Redemption. It's the same. You can spend hours just killing the fauna of the game 👍 I did it in RDR and still do it here.

All quirks about FC2 are gone, at least for me, the hillarious long travels to missions is gone 👍

This is the FC2 everybody hoped for.

Map seems huge. Terrain is good. And so much bullet food. And you can approch the way you want, customize weapons,...

My weapons of choice are an mp5sd, m700 sniperrife, m12 holo+sd, bow. Silent assassin.

Awesome game.

If anyone plays on PC and wants to try mp or co op, my name is iboniboxps (very old account when i had my dell xps)
Though Sp is were this game shines through. They should have spend that developpement time for more SP.
