Ubisoft forums is running a heated debate recently released Far Cry 3 PC game graphics, which support DirectX 11 API. Conversation started Nyadc-nickname has undertaken a thorough background research on the subject and compared the pictures and videos last summer's E3 presentation of the development phase of the game in finished commercially-available PC version.

E3 presented in details are really good, in the final game of the outlook is considerably simplified. In particular, the jungle vegetation and the amount of light can be seen in big differences.

Again translations are always bad but I couldn't find any other non forum source. Still thought that this might be interesting to discuss.

Wow. Super blatant, especially when he surfaces on that island and looks left to right. Vegetation density is less than half.

So they dumbed the veg down for console and decided not to leave it alone on PC. Really? how hard would it have been to leave the vegetation alone in PC version and decrease it in console and have everything else the same. Super lame mad.gif

If they had left it alone it would be a graphics card melter.... Exactly what I want. Dumb ubisoft, Tricks are for hookers

Wow, that's shocking. Can understand if it's demo'd on a PC and then graphically reduced for consoles maybe, but the other way around just doesn't make sense.

I felt FC3 ran very well and could have been a WHOLE lot more intense visually, like on Crysis 3 levels.

That's not really true, if you're bleeding edge, you might (just might) be able to get a smooth 2560/1440p/60fps out of FC3 without all of the XML tweaks thumb.gif

I enjoyed the game but it shouldn't have been nearly as hardware demanding as it is

lol overreacting. The game looks fantastic. And the retail product just looks different, it doesn't look worse imo. It could just as well have been a design decision because the vegetation was maybe limiting the vision more than they wanted.
Under water looks better on the E3 version, but the retail version is much more realistic with the lower viewing distance under water.
