Thanks, Anubis. Very interesting article – and nice to know I’m not alone with my opinion.

“If I’m not mistaken, they don’t have the IP license for Far Cry but it’s still a spiritual successor to the game. Correct me if I’m wrong.”

Yeah, that sounds pretty reasonable.

Developers are beginning to realize they have to add some tech to reduce detail at certain levels to make CG more believable. Depth of field, motion blur, soft shadows — these are some first steps towards that goal.

Realistic shoulder-mounted camera movement would improve the immersion, but it can be detrimental to gameplay. But the more realistic, the more sick you’re going to get looking at it while sitting still. heh.

Dellen is completely right about games, the more realistic they get the less “real they seem, thats due to uncanny valley.

Would you honestly want to play this without DX10, though? It wouldn’t look as good and/or run as fast.
