Far Cry SDK released

[Turin_Turambar]

I read the news a few minutes ago.

So.... let´s wait for Beppo´s impressions.

Wow a few month late but still better than never. I'm very curious about the teams judgement!

BTW Crytech, the makers of FarCry moved from Ubi to EA. (hard to say if this is good news on the support side of FarCry...)

 

[geogob]

Sad. Ubi is a company in part based in Montreal... got a few people I know who work there.

It's a loss IMO.

 

[Arethusa]

Hah. Ubi's rather craptacular community involvement record looks pretty good compared to EA's policy of active malevolence and misanthropy towards its customers. Great news indeed.

 

[ecale3]

if the INF team switched to the FarCry engine i'll cry.

 

[})FA|Snake]

Switching to some guy named ted who lives in a shack in the middle of a Florida swamp would be an improvement over UBI

 

[(SDS)benmcl]

Same here. Hope they stay with tried and proven U2K4.

 

[Arethusa]

Ugh. Doom 3 or Half-Life 2 or nothing, baby.

 

[(SDS)benmcl]

If they go Half Life that is the day I delete Infiltration from my system forever. I can except Doom 3, not completely happy but I can except it. Half Life, not a chance.

Edit: Just read, but not verified, that Carmack tried Doom 3 with 8 people on a lan and it started to lag. If this is the case than no Infiltration on Doom 3.

 

[geogob]

god! what's with you people and Half-Life... Never understood why so many here were so angry about Half-Life or Valve or what ever.

 

[yurch]

Nothing is any good if other people like it.

 

[Arethusa]

Ooh, logic.

 

[Keganator]

If it doesn't go to Far Cry I'll cry.

ha...beat that!

 

[mat69]

If it doesn't stick to UT99 I'll cry.

 

[ecale3]

If it doesn't go to Far Cry I'll cry.

ha...beat that!

If it goes to farcry i'll show up at your house and kill you. I may kill your neighbors and possibly their pets as well.

Okeydokey, it's simple. The next Inf will be multiplatform with hacked in network support for interoperatibility so everyone can play it on the engine he wants (I'll choose the Monkey Island engine with Inf written in scumm. "Shoot" "3rd burst" "guy with CD". Can't miss.). Problem solved, noone has to die and the first one who crys has to eat 20 pounds of donoughts in a single hour as punishment.

SCUMM would be nice, then i can play INF everywhere on my PocketPC
What about INF on the DOOM³-Engine for the XBOX? serious! I'd love it

Well just finished reading the forums for Far Cry. It seems the discussions are leading to the following conclusion: "We now have a 2 year old model exporter and importer." -not a direct qoute but sums it up pretty well.

Downloading it myself now and will look at later today.

What's the punishment in getting half a breakfast for free?

Concerning Crytec, Ubi, EA: As far as I understood FarCry itself is sticking with Ubi. That could mean that Crytec isn't so keen on supporting a product of their former publisher...

 

[jayhova]

I would like to see a proof of concept. It would be nice to see Far Cry with iron sights, realistic balistics, and realistic damage.
