Farcry 64-bit

[Guyver]

AMD and Crytek announced that the 64-bit update to Crytek's and Ubisoft’s Far Cry, optimized for AMD Athlon 64 processor-based systems, is now available for download. This new version of Far Cry was designed on AMD64 technology and features exclusive 64-bit enhancements.

AMD also used the announcement to denounce the need for multi core processors for gaming by including the following short sentence; Because most games today are single-threaded, gamers’ performance needs will be best served with the single-core AMD Athlon 64 FX processor.

For the best possible performance AMD claims that the complete 64-bit set is required i.e. AMD64 processor, the recently released Microsoft Windows XP Pro x64 Edition operating system and 64-bit optimized Far Cry software. Gamers will notice larger and more detailed areas to explore, exclusive 64-bit maps, longer view distances, unique and exciting game object textures and a 64-bit exclusive barrel storage area that demonstrates impressive, life-like object physics movement.
Same shot from the 64-bit version of the game using an AMD Athlon 64 processor. The images demonstrate the enhanced textures. In the 64-bit image you can see the deeper textures on the beach in the Boat level.

Wasn't really that impressed with the graphics on half life 2 tbh. I expected more for all the hype that was generated before it came out. :(

are you mad at all?

[muchspl3]

if you look one is in the light and one isn't

not a whole lot of difference, would have been better if both shots were in the same place, facing the sun

Doesn't look any different tome except the ground. :unsure: You can prolly tell much more though if you're actually playing though I'm sure.

Also, I stopped playing this game because I got tired of having to re-play an hour worth of game every time I died. So many people have said that they loved this game but....meh.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. It seems that since I've been playing CoD:UO, everything else is sub-par. :(

btw Thanks ;)
