In the case of Far Cry 2, here's a basic introductory comparison video: Forget the murky scaled-down comparison videos seen almost everywhere else - one pixel in the player is one pixel on your HDTV. More than that, we can crop down the video output, slow it down and encode it into precision h.264 video. Simply access the screenshot you want, and then press the 360, PS3 or PC tabs to see the same scene from the selected version of the game. For a start, you can compare the same scenes across all three formats via the 720p comparison gallery. The HD captures allow us to perform all manner of unholy acts upon the software in question. From there, the games are compared and the differences judged - technical details are revealed and impact on the game experience is also judged.
Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the game are played simultaneously, hooked up via their digital outputs to a state-of-the-art capture system.Įvery single pixel rendered is stored in a completely lossless manner. Oh, and it in case this is relevant, my resolution is 1680 by 1050.One of the most eagerly awaited shooters of the year, Far Cry 2 boasts a cutting edge new game engine which, combined with its very strong 8/10 Eurogamer score, makes it a more than worthy candidate for Eurogamer triple-format bonus round comparison coverage.įor the sake of the one person out there who hasn't read one of these features yet, the aims and methods are fairly straightforward.
I hope this trick works for you too… I use it every time I want to run the game. Annoying, yes, but I’m not sure that UbiSoft is to blame – I think it might be my fault for using beta NVIDIA drivers (195.55 for Windows 7) rather than the lame Dell drivers I should be using.
If your timing is right, you should see Far Cry 2 appear in a window.ģ) Press ALT+ ENTER again, and then game should switch to full screen mode, allowing you to play.

Kind of a disappointing experience for a newly purchased game, but it wasn’t the first time I encountered a game that refused to start. The splash screen appeared, and the game did momentarily appear in the task bar – but after that, the screen turns black for about 2 seconds, and then everything disappears. Unfortunately, when I went to run the game, it never launched successfully. I was pretty happy when I managed to snag Far Cry 2 for a low price on Steam, a month or so ago.
