The new ship date will ensure that both the Xbox and PS2 versions have the same impressive graphics and unique immersive gameplay elements as the highly-regarded Far Cry PC version.

The console versions will take the best of the top selling tropical PC shooter adapting it to the consoles specificities and using the technology Far Cry fans have come to expect.

The game will be pushed back to Q1 2005 instead of a holiday release for both Xbox and PS2. This game will definatly push the full limits of the consoles.

Not to sound fanboyish, but how is the PS2 going to handle this game? It couldn' t handle Splinter Cell with all the lighting effects and such along with the massive amounts of bumpmapping(the Far Cry engine revolves around bump maps. everything in the game starts as a highly detailed 3d model and then goes through a polypump which greatly decreases the poly count speeding up the game. It bump maps everything though so it still looks just as good). If it can handle it that would be awesome. I' m just a bit skeptical about it right now.

Ya I been questioning that ever since I read the news. Thats a lot of power for the PS2 to hold. Would that hard drive thing help? If nething the game is gonna have to sacrafice soming in the PS2, and maybe a little bit on the Xbox. However, they said they added things that would make up for nething excluded.

That trailer I watched a few weeks ago looked real nice. If that' s what it' s going to look like on Xbox then I' ll be happy, lol.
