|
 |
Far Cry seems to be one of the first available games for the new Windows 64bit. The developers claim higher frame rates and better textures for the 64bit version. Plus you get some new areas for single player and some new maps for multiplayer. You can download the 64bit version for free at the above link, the 32bit version is required too (the download is about 1GB)

(P.S: I did search but found nothing)

The performance is no better and the supposed improvements to visual quality are hardly noticable. Shame really.

Ho hum. Maybe I'm stupid here, but I actually like the 32 version more. O.o

The 64 bit version certainly does have more detail. Which you prefer is really a matter of taste. Some of the changes I prefer the old.

Actually i've played it, you don't even notice the changes unless you're looking for them. On top of that, the pebble texture you posted in the second pic is in loads of areas and it looks completely out of place.
I was going to install windows 64 and then get the patch but since seeing it being played it's not worth the download.
Differences are huge? Please don't talk out of your ass.

Apart from that stone texture you see in the water, I didn't notice any other differences in the singleplayer. Sure, there are differences, but you don't really notice them without them being pointed out in direct comparisons like that.
If the differences were huge it should be obvious.
I was expecting something more. Ah well, at least they've made the effort I suppose.

A huge difference is when you go from something like : Wolfenstein 3D to Half Life 2, thats a big difference.
Here i see several tweaks and stuff, and on occasion the 32 bit looks nicer, imho.
For the Motherland!

That's how you interpetrate the word huge.
In my world, huge can mean alot of things, and in this case it means that you can easily see the differences.

Sure areas with less cliffs wont change much, but most outdoor maps in farcry do have a crapload of cliffs, so how anyone can miss the change on them is beyond me?  |
Well incredible as it might seem, I hadn't been playing farcry 5 minutes before I was shown the 64bit version. You're only noticing these differences because you have direct comparisons, but I hadn't played farcry for a while and when I saw the 64bit version the only thing I noticed different was that pebble(?) texture.
Really, these changes are far from huge, unless you're now making up your own definitions for words.

Waste of time. Not even worth upgrading to 64 bit chips. The review clearly states on last page "This can be run on a 32-bit system" as well if needed. Just another scam to make users by technology that is useless right now.

i downloaded the video yesterday. Pretty nice. But I'm sure a 32 bit system nowadays can handle the view distance.
and wtf is everyone talking about the new textures or HDR lightning?
This has absolutely nothing to do with a 64bit processor. These are just graphics.
The only thing where you need a stronger CPU are the physics.
The rest will be handled by the graphic card and you really can't compare a expensive radeon 9800 pro which was a ub0r card when Far Cry came out with a 6600gt. Surely the 6600gt will handle more.
It's just a good marketing trick.
When people look at the video and see the empty room with a desk and a shelf and then the 64bit version, I bet they think: Wow a A64 can add all this stuff automatically??
P.S.: the new cliff und beach texture looks really shitty!
even the older one looked more realistic.
P.P.S: the new offset mapping really looks great!

iam really looking forward to the time that the games look REAL cause u dont have update your pc than.................. cause it cant look more real than real !
