@Peter Yeah you need to get FarCry2 since the game developers were in Kenya for a month that was in 2007 to research on Kenyas Landascape and used all that stuff to build the game. other than the language i think think they did a stunning job in get the landscape to look realistic.

@Aki That game uses an engine based on the original crytek Engine developed by the guys who did FarCry. Now the Far Cry guys came up with a complete remake of FarCry now FarCry2 using their New Dunia Engine. I think its based on the swahili word Dunia. The setting of this game is East Africa (although the black enemies speak with South African Accents.. and at times language, i think they should have used Swahili). The graphics here are more stunning than the 1st Farcry. This Engine takes into consideration Day and Night cycles, weather such as wind rain, cloudy sunny days, bush fires spread and behave according to weather, wild animals on the scene, savannahs, deserts, forest, rivers, lakes and the physics is awesome. To experience all this of course you need Seriouos graphic accelerators and RAM otherwise it defaults to lower quality terrain and shadows. You need to try it out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_Cry_2 Steve Obbayi, _____ From: skunkworks-bounces@lists.my.co.ke [mailto:skunkworks-bounces@lists.my.co.ke] On Behalf Of aki Sent: Thursday, July 02, 2009 2:27 PM To: Skunkworks forum Subject: [Skunkworks] OT: gamers : CRYSIS and directx 10 ( Pls note some may find the games preview disturbing. ignore links below if you have not played First person Shooter games ) Believe this is the ultimate in graphics and a good benchmark?
