W00t!

Love/d Far Cry... THis should be awesome.

 

[FarFarAway]

Nah it'll be a Ubisoft rehash of Farcry - no Crytech

 

[PP Mguire]

I thought Crysis was Farcry2?

 

[Ham]

I thought Crysis was Farcry2?

Me 2...

I might give the original another whirl im that board...

 

[Toxcity]

Far cry without Crytech.. is evil!

 

[FarFarAway]

Crysis is Crytek's version of Farcry

Farcry 2 is Ubisoft's version of Farcry 2 as they own the intellectual rights to the game/characters/names

 

[Toxcity]

EA brought CryTek... and CryTek make better games than Ubisoft!

 

[PP Mguire]

But EA games are usualy teh sux0r (where patches and whatnot are concernd).

Crysis is Crytek's version of Farcry

When you say this you mean Farcry 2 right? Just forgot the 2?

 

[FarFarAway]

Aye I did

 

[PP Mguire]

Ah ok, wee bit confused there for a second but i gotcha

 

[NickS]

This is all confusing...

 

[!TIMMY!]

Well no doubt it will run badly on my machine tbh lol

The long and the short of it:

Crytek made Farcry using the CryEngine.

Ubisoft bought the rights to Farcry, including (I think) the engine, charactors, title and the rest.

Crytek then decided it wanted to make Farcry 2, but couldn't name it that so they are making Crysis

Ubisoft see a big fat cash cow and made loads of cr@p Farcry games and now are working on Farcry 2. Hopefully it won't be so bad without CryTek

 

[PP Mguire]

Aye i see. So that means, BUY CRYSIS!!! Cause i dont really like ANY Ubisoft games.

 

[SuB]

is the teaser site supposed to be anything other than 3 clickable flash objects and a bit of a wierd voice?

or am i missing something

Well no doubt it will run badly on my machine tbh lol

If they have a DX9 verison of the game it should be fine.
