Discuss: Farcry / Crysis as platform and online gaming

[iosoft]

Friends,

I was tracking Farcry and Crysis for a long long time.

Both games are almost 'state-of-art' at their ages.
I mean, Farcry at the age of P4HT vs AMD64 battle, and
Crysis at the time of 'nexgen gaming' era (though not yet released).

Both the games are 100% successful as GAMES. Went to or going to clam the 'hall of fame' position.

But, I feel, specially Farcry and hopefully not true for Crysis, as a gaming engine/platform Farcry didn't at all success in terms of engine/platform nor online gaming.

Though Farcry do support MOD and huge open maps for online gaming which could kick-out Call Of Duty 1 (Multilayer) and Call Of Duty 2 (Multilayer).

But it actually FAILED in these 2 fields.
What do you think about these problems ??

It was the net code of the game which was the problem for farcry... hopefully crysis will not have that issue... in the meantime go and check out crysis multiplayer footage...

Farcry was supposed to be an eye candy demo for the Nvidia higher end 6 series cards remember the early 2005 when the 6 series cards were launched it was then Farcry was launched.
Anyways Farcry achieved 1 thing awsome water renders for its time.
And Crysis is still yet to be commented since the games isnt out and i feel i wont run on lowerend PC no matter how much to try to suck the mhz outa the CPU and the GPU& RAM
