Seems a waste that they've built this really nice looking game and graphics engine, and all you do is walk around shooting people. Why can't some of the FPS producers take their lead from other games to be a bit more inventive. Although it's probably aimed at a demographic that only want to do shoot bad AI. Dying from a single bullet like the Rainbow Six days would be good.

The little details of this game, where the enemy slaps a bug on his neck at around the 0.45 mark, is what gets me so excited.

Was that Afrikaans at 2:13 onto the video?

It sounded like "Hoe smaak jy daai poepol" in Afrikaans, translated as "How do you like that, arsehole".

Or what!?

Isn't this being primarily developed for consoles now? Is that going to affect the PC graphics? I hope it's not scaled back to any degree (graphically) because of this :(

wow... way to kill hype before releasing the game...

Dumb AI - Running around doing nothing and the ones that did shoot I don’t think they even hit the player

Old Far Cry problems - Enemy shot when you would think he was hidden

Guns - They don’t sound very good and have almost no recoil

We can only hope that they have dumbed the game down for consoles and not for PC. Also looking the map that shows it doesn’t look like a massive area and that location look pretty linear.

The art direction for this game is just terrible to say the least... this video shows a Jungle in the middle of the day and yet i see not a sinlge shade a colour ANYWHERE except for the muzzle flash, since when did colour become such a tabboo in the games industry?!?!

What's with the omnipotent AI? They saw him before he even did anything, crouched in the foliage, behind a tree.

Around 2:35 when the player is shooting into the dark side of the container thing and you can barely tell where the enemy is pisses me off to no end. Super-ultra realistic graphics do nothing when you can't properly recognize and assess the situation!

Looks great, but I wonder how much more the framerate would drop with a nice explosion or propagating fire.
