I didn't see it coming and I found it entirely by accident... but the demo of Far Cry is out.
I downloaded it, installed it (it's 500+ megs... a friking CD for a demo). A lot of people are raving about the graphics. Personally I don't find the graphics all that "wow" as an engine- I see more artist work here in that sense.
Now the level design/AI... does definitively feel (so far) very good. It really makes me believe I am out there against some guys that are looking for me or something.
I am running this on my laptop and it does chug but you can scale the graphics back and it doesn't chug. At 640x480x32 I can still keep up all effects and it nearly doesn't chug but it does ocassionally.. I see a hardisk access also... Damn windows memory management environment & development.
