Xenus 2 , You knew it?

Hello guys,


While surfing the web for any new I noticed great game or " looks great" but I didn't have any review in English or more details except for some screenshots and gameplay video

It looks like combination of FarCry , GTA

If any one has more details post it.



The video
YouTube - Xenus 2 White Gold

Re: Xenus 2 , You knew it?

Is it just me or it looks suspiciously a lot like Far Cry?

Re: Xenus 2 , You knew it?

This is the follow up to "Boiling Point: Road to Hell". which Aside from a huge number of game crippling bug (I mean huge), there was some potential with the game.

PS. it does look like Far Cry.

This is a blatant case of someone using the CryEngine 2 engine (And assets) illegally to make a game on the cheap, it doesn't so much look like Crysis but more like a mod for it, which would be acceptable if it wasn't being sold as a retail title.

I don't know what is worse, this, or games that cannot even make their own graphics, instead stealing them from other games, like Limbo of the lost which stolen its material from nearly every source imaginable.

This isn't just some startup developer, like I said in my earlier post, they created the Boiling Point game. I uses the Vital Engine 3, an in-house engine developed by Deep Shadows, and it's not a totally unknown title (check the gaming news section, there are previews and interviews going back as far as 2007).

BTW, it looks nothing like Crysis.

Re: Xenus 2 , You knew it?

Any idea if it will be released in the UK? I have (had?) Boiling Point and although I liked it, there were so many bugs in it that not even Indiana Jones would be able to handle it.

Perhaps this will be a better final product.

Re: Xenus 2 , You knew it?

I found and reinstalled the original Boiling Point. The game looks great even 5 years after release. Few 3D games age so graciously. I did managed to have the game crash 2 times in 20 min too. With the latest patch.
It looks like it has problem with any resolution over 1024x768. So much potential.
