Another one of the rare game I managed to film at the FDJV is Far Cry 2, and this one with no other than the game's lead level designer at the controls! He was very proud of this game, and if you guys have the patience to watch all the videos as I will add them to this news, you may understand why a bit better. All footage is from the Xbox 360 version, and of course there is no sound (stop asking).
Update 2 : Part 3 added, showing the interesting way to "change" the time of the day.

I tried Googling it also, and couldn't find anything.

Still, the game is looking really good but throwing in things like these just for the sake of throwing them in really annoys me in game design.
I preordered the 360 CE and hope it was the right decision ;)

Cant we leave the comparisons, they are completely unrelated games and can be appreciated on there on merit. Personally I think R2 looks better graphically, but this has a more impressive scale.
Shadowing looks pretty sterile here.
Cant you compare a ferrari to a lamborghini cuz they are different brands? Sure you can!
Though granted, Resistance 2 opts for the "realistic" (which turns out to be unrealistic) brown boring desaturated look. Im sure if we desaturated Farcry 2, and added a brown-filter to it, it would look pretty similar..

But Resistance at least the new one, is hardly the most lacking of games when it comes to color. Such as the black and white KZ2, which uses every trick in the book to cover up shoddy textures and poor models, even if it does have flashy effects and neat motionblur (lets be honest people, its hyperactive motionblur, standing still your gun blurs for christ's sake). Don't get me wrong, I think the game is sexy. But I hate people whining about slightly low color levels in Gears of War or what ever, when their fanboy ways prevent them from whining about a game which is pretty much literally BLACK AND FUCKING WHITE, with some green sun glare(incidently, wtf? looks cool but hurts my brain...) and garish orange effects.
Also, how many of the videos will there be? So I know when I can put em together and start watchin.

I think you're just looking at some low-quality camcorder footage of R2 and then making a premature assessment of its color pallette.
The graphics are simply not as good as I thought. Let's hope it looks far better on direct-feed footage. But based on what I seen here, the visuals look pretty drab.
I am still going to buy it because of the map editor and at least try to put some effort into pretending to be immersed, although I suspect I will regret it.
