In the screenshots, Why do his hands make it look like he is a burn victim?

So what you're saying is, the graphics are a far cry from being awesome?

Yup. Everything has a price, and we're seeing the cost of Nintendo's decisions. Not that I think they were bad decisions at all, but it does mean a lot of ports will look deeply crappy.

I'm still going to wait until I see it in motion before I make any statement on its visuals, I've learned you cannot judge a game visuals based solely off a screenshot.

Well, they must be rushing this game to have it ready for launch - I mean, we hadn't even heard about this until about a week ago.. They probably aren't focusing as much on the visuals as on the gameplay. The games from E3 are much improved graphically - for E3 the developers focused on the controls and gameplay rather than the graphics, and now they're polishing the games.. Rightfully so, since it was the gameplay that made the Wii the winner at the Expo. Ubisoft should probably delay this to finish it up properly, but I wouldn't bet on them doing so.

Well, I don't think it looks too bad except for his hands. It's like he dipped them in boiling oil a few years back. I'll be able to get a better idea of the visuals once a video comes out. One of decent quality, that is.

Well, reading the interview over at IGN the Ubisoft guy says it will look at least as good as the Xbox version, so I'm not worried.

His hands need skin grafts in that trailer too, so apparently it's a "feature."

In-Dev Far Cry Wii screens leaked less than a month ago, probably running on a PC

Those screens look fine. The recent ones look terrible. We've seen that the Wii can do better.

Every screenshot of seen thus far looks awful. Textures are really low res, anything not immediately in front of you looks blurry, and everything looks like it has a really low polygon count. I guess I'll just wait until I see some gameplay videos to pass a final judgement.

So uh, no online?

Nope.

IGN Wii: Will there be an online component?

Fabrice Cuny: We are exploring the possibility to have an online multiplayer mode, so I can't talk too much about it.

IGN Wii: Are you planning to take advantage of WiiConnect24 to offer upgrades and other downloads to Wii Far Cry owners?

Fabrice Cuny: Like the online multiplayer, we are still exploring the possibilities.

the thing that bothers me most about the graphics are that for a game that features alot of trees and other plant life this version's trees are terrible. The leaves are completely composed of a single Plane (a flat one sided poly), im sure the GCN as well as the Wii can support higher poly trees. If it wasn't for the trees i think most of the game looks pretty good except a few low res textures here and there.

I swear i hope Ubisoft is listening to me when i say this, Ubisoft has a giant potential to come out of the Wii launch with some serious future backing by the Wii audience or be known forever as the port publishing company that give us old games that can be found for $15-$20 instead for $49.99.

It's obvious that Jack isn't the kind of man that washes his hands.

If the bullets don't kill you, his BAD HYGENE will.

Looks "meh".

Man has leporsy. Farcry: Escape from Leaper island. Snake pliskin, errr I mean Jack Carver must retrive the president's suitcase and return it in 72 hours before a NBC strikes vapourises him, the suitcase and a quater of continetal US in the new jihading cusade of scientology.

PHOTOSHOP THESE SCREENS PLEASE, UBI.
