Speaking at Play.com Live, Far Cry 2 designer Peter Redding told us that the common expectation was that the PC version was going to be infinetely better than either the PS3 or 360. He also told us why thats a load of rubbish.
Were not changing any aspect of the game, says Peter, after running through Far Cry 2s 50km2 open environment in a 20 minute PC demonstration - more on that at a later date. All the same content will be in console versions that youve seen here; all the same systems and all the same mechanics.
But he dodged the bullet about how much better the PC version would be: The expectation is that for someone playing on a really good high-end PC, it is going to be amazing. But the console version is going to be fanastic.
Turns out the version we were watching was the still a November 2007 build. I played the 360 build last week and its already looking better than this.
He made no mention of the PS3 version, beyond confirming that Far Cry 2 would be released on all three platforms.
More of our impressions soon.

I can say from what I have seen the graphics on far cry are immense, really impressive!
I enjoyed far cry, and although the visuals are a leap forward, I’m desperately hoping the gameplay isn’t effected by this.
