Low quality video but very interesting

+ Engine, physic engine

- the character is Terminator/Rambo

I prefer a system of damage as the Deus ex or Boilint Point, if they shoot you in a leg, you were walking limping, and if they shoot you in a hand you were shooting worse. It would do more credibly the animations of the healing of the wounds.

Terminator and Rambo? Is sure that the character is not a mutant?

My english is very bad, and scarcely I understand the commentaries of the video, and maybe I am wrong

SICK
Still not sure about this heal yourself system and the actions when the car runs over the little bushes I think does not look so good (if it was real life the bushes would not fly up like that, just be squished ;D)
But the rest... OMG amazing!
Can not WAIT to see more of this stuff

[Silecom]

breathtaking =)

[topeira]

NOW the hype will start rolling.

this is finally something to hold on to besides some promisses and guesses.

this looks like everything stalker was supposed to be plus crysis like graphics.
well, actually i do not allow myself to be impressed with the graphics as this is a really low quality video, but we can hope.

as this is a pre-alpha stage i am optimistic that a lot of things will be fixed (like the bouncing bushes).

this is probably the most ambitious game in years...

[Jack-Myers]

Oh god! that looks fantastico! I never thought it would look that good! Ubisoft is doing good job, please release a demo gameplay video with high resolution. Or I will eat your head.
EDIT: Burning trees and burning ground? MY GOD IM A PYROMANIC MYSELF! *wet dreams* buuuurrnn beibeh..
I got to agree that the bushes getting off that easily is unrealistic, but it was pre-alpha footage. The game just reminds me so much of the place I spend my summer holiday. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Awesome footage of gameplay.

[UBW_Clivey]

Now what should happen is that as this footage has been leaked with a camcorder and the quality isnt that great, UBI should release the HD version of it, to stop any concerns from shareholders that they are wasting investment capital.

So come on Kimi, give us a good version plzzzzz.. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/88.gif

This looks to be the exact same demo someone here said they saw at Leipzig. I agree that Ubi should do a hi res version of this. It looked like that display was showing a Ubi logo through it repeatedly, and the image quality was pretty bad.

Some of the gameplay seems a bit weird like lots of slugs being pulled out of the hand and it looked like motion blur was added just for sprinting, which I don't like. Looks fun though, I like the way they agressively attack once they see you and try to run you off the road with the vehicles.

Theres an animal here, apparently a flesh eating slug. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/88.gif Sry, couldnt resist that one. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/351.gif

Sweet. I loved the way the big trees reacted when he threw the grenades at them. The fire and use of vehicles is great too.

The main problem I can see is the way the vehicles behave. The steering looks very twitchy and not smooth at all. Otherwise, fantastic potential. Can't wait to see some decent quality footage.

Remember those in Stand By Me? Leeches!

A few thoughts
1) I understand that the game world is huge and since a vehicle will not always be available to you, sprinting is a key mode of transportation, but the current sprinting speed seemed too fast and gave the player too much mobility in a firefight.
2) Just as the OP said, I was a little disappointed of the players Rambo-like endurance and threshold for pain...
3) The amount of damage the player can sustain borders on superhuman. While I know this is for balance, I am kind of disappointed the "realism" idea did not carry over into the health system.
4) Recoil? Nah, if you hold the gun tight enough you can keep it perfectly still http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif
5) Graphically well done and well presented.
6) Ragdoll/animation blending is awesome!
7) This was stated before, but...The vehicle physics looked a little stiff.
8) Keep it up, it looks like a lot of fun!

sprinting speed looks fine to me.. but if you notice they made the gun pull back like in bf2 when u sprint so no sprinting and shooting. As far as the health system goes, most fps are starting to adopt this system, it makes for a smoother running game for me. I find I usually end the game easier when I die rather than play on for hours and hours.. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Vid looks great and I cant help but notice this vids demo map looks vaguely familiar to a competitors first sp demos lol NICE!!

[tu34]

Very very impressive! <3

[Six_Gun]

Well here in the great "northwet" we have many of the creepy crawly kind of slug, but if you truly thought I meant them vs a bullet slug you are more stupid than "with" stupid Clivey! LOL

Anyways, if you see slugs on the trail put a pie tin near your tent with a bit o' beer in it and the slugs will drink themselves into a coma. Seriously, it really works, and no sticky slug trails on your tent. Too bad it doesn't work for bullet slugs.

Oh, and the animals supposedly do show at the end of that demo as a herd of herbivores running below the glider, but the video quality is so crappy you can't see them.

LOL, that's hilarious, and the ironic thing is Rambo 4, titled simply "John Rambo", will be out about the same time FC2 is. He's still living in Thailand though, a "far cry" from Africa.

[bongomast3r]

I have to add, the animation system is looking really good and the whole ragdoll/animation melding sounds promising, even though it was hard to see it in this video. I like how you don't automatically snap into a vehicle, he actually climbs into the back of the truck and has to swing in and out of the cockpit if he wants to man the gun/drive. Awesome.

Realistic and dynamic animations are a must if a game is going to be taken seriously. You can have realistically smart AI, but if they move around like an upright stiff and clip into objects it takes all that believability away.

[thissucks1946]

doesn't look like farcry with out the zoom down the side of the weapons from farcry 1

[FinalxDeath]

This looks to be showing some promise... Still ahvnt heard much about the Online Multi Player Features yet.

[heyfunboy]

So if you get shot point blank in the head can you take the bullet out?

What if you are near the gasoline explosions and gasoline spills on you and you catch on fire.... would you have enough time to pat yourself out?

I expect flaws from this game.

It does seem far fetched doesnt it, but you have to realise nabs need to play the game too http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
