Far Cry 2: 720p, but no 60 frames a second

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

You asked. We got it answered. Far Cry 2 is set at 720p, but the game can?t managed 60FPS because it has too much going on.

?No,? multiplayer producer Richard Gaetan told VG247 when asked if the title is locked at the magic 60.

?We wish it would be 60 frames a second, but no. With the world so big ? even in multiplayer the biggest maps are pretty huge ? the dynamic grass that can catch on fire, the trees that can be destroyed, the vehicles in there as well, there?s so much going on that no, we?re not at 60 frames per second.?

Gaetan did confirm, though, that you?re going to get 720p out of the game.

Whether or not it?s doing 60 frames, Far Cry 2 looks staggering, frankly, both in single-player and multiplayer. Read single-player impressions here.

Obviously, glad to see it's 720p though - Sick of all these upscaled non-HD games these days.

Didn't even cross my mind that it would be.

Can't wait for the game, like it isn't already obvious enough :p

Well you know what the COD4 crowd are like

"OMG EVERY FPS HAS TO BE 60FPS OR IT'S UNPLAYABLE"

KZ2 thread got torched with that a while back.

There's room for gorgeous 30 FPS games, and lighting fast less good looking 60 FPS games.

I myself can't really tell the difference nor care as long as it's 30 locked.

As long as it doesn't drop below 30 it should be fine :)

From the preview

Frame-rate very solid. Dynamic shadowing obvious. No visible stuttering so far.

Well, I'll be getting the PC version for "1080p" and 60fps+

mmmm ...

My PC can't handle that ****.

Consoles for me :p

60fps is only really important to me when it comes to racing games

[Typhon]

Ill have sli or crossfire by then. F the 360 lol.

I don't think it looks good on the PC, personally. Obvious port from consoles to PC. I'll find the screens and link to them later.

Doesn't bother me, as long as it looks great and runs well, and plays good, then it doesn't matter to me if its say only 30fps at 720p.
