Awesome FarCry pic!

Found this on the GD forums and the graphics blew me away! What level is this?

hmmm... i wonder if that is really the game. i mean, i heard st.a.l.k.e.r. was supposed to have more realistic graphics than far cry, but that makes the screenshots i've seen of stalker look like a kindergartners drawing.

Had the Graphic Design team at my company take a look at this.....
It's a screen shot pasted over a real pic.

You can see the thin line around the weapon where they cut it from the original screen shot and super-imposed it over this picture. Didn't even use good photo-editing software either for Pete's sake!

Its a fake. The game is set in the tropics, wrong trees.
Look at the pics at the official website for comparision.

It's real. It's one of nVidia's pics "showing off" what their shader 3.0 can do.

[edit]: I take it back, after some digging while the forums died, I found this: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthre...eadid=33755492

IT IS FAKE!

Yeah, it's definately fake. There's no way Far Cry could look like.

It is obviously fake. Graphics on the personal computer aren't that photo-realistic... yet.

Looks like hardOCP was one of the places that had it posted. I just took a look at their recent news additions.

Yup, it's definitely not part of the game... the lighting is all wrong for one
Plus the game uses lakes/ponds rather than rivers

I wasn't trying to trick anybody. I just found the pic and thought it would be cool to dream about how games will look in the future. I wish that pic was of a real game that was out right now. *drool*
