Far Cry 2 to feature smoother graphics on PS3?

Utilizing a new game engine entitled "Dunia," Far Cry 2 features some of the most impressive console graphics seen to date, showcasing such technological highlights as global illumination, dynamic weather systems, and realistic growing vegetation Furthermore, according to a recent preview by Gamespot, the PlayStation 3 is able to outperform its rival, Xbox 360, when running anti-aliasing.

"The developer says that the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC versions have been developed from the same core build, so they'll all share the same features," wrote Gamespot's Guy Crocker. "While we didn't see the PS3 version, it's claimed that the aliasing on Sony's machine outperforms that of the 360, while on the PC it's all dependent on the specifications of your machine."


Of course, this could all change before the game’s release, as the title is still in development stages. However, if Ubisoft Montreal can unlock and utilize the power of the Cell processor, there is no doubt that they can provide better anti-aliasing and smoother graphics for Sony’s flagship gaming platform.

Far Cry 2 is set to release sometime this Fall. Stay tuned for more information as it breaks.

    OMG, this game is amazing, the first videos didn't really got me hyped, but da''mn, the fact that the guns get rusty and break, also vehicles can give up their function and then you actually repair it and the healing thing looks awesome especially relocating the dislocated arm, wow I'm utterly impressed :)

     Yeah i'm sure M$ will pay to have the PS3 version blurred and at 640p resolution, GTA4 anyone? This is just speculation but it just seems like the nature of their business tactics, IMMERSION rumble technology anyone?

    Interesting fact: "Dunia" means "World" in Arabic and in Urdu.  Fitting name for a game engine. This will be some game, eh!

    I've really been looking forward to this game for quite some time now, and I feel real optimistic, especially after seeing this video.

     That sounds good. Usually we have to wait till late in development for the PS3 version to out render the 360. My money is defiantly on the Sony machine here.
