GRAW2 PC News

[Wolfsong]

Everyone sleeping here?

Got a few GRAW2 news items for you.

First own page finally got some GRAW2 PC news.

Then has made an article on GRAW2 PC.

And UBI Soft has announced that they had the wrong released date for GRAW2 PC on their pages. It should be 30th of March, like they said on 18th of December last year, not 9th of Arch as their pages say.

I guess that's it for now.

Thanks for the links. I'm very jazzed up for GRAW 2.

I'd like to know what kind of rig those screen shots were taken on.  And why is there no HUD or CrossCom stuff on screen.

What _is_ CrossCom2, anyway?  Did they just finally get the full textured view working in the viewport?  I'm very leery of anything UBI says about Graw2.  They have done so much dishonest advertising about GRAW PC that I will only believe it when I see it with my own eyes.

Those screen shots look like they might be from the 360 version rather than the PC.  Just like with GRAW 1.

All the pics in the articles are PC. I know that for sure from internal sources. But the other pictures that IGN has in the GRAW2 PC screens folder are from the 360. So only those two added on 25th of January are actually from the PC version.

Also, all the pictures you see, even on the UBI site, are photoshoped. Except the first picture in the IGN article with the M8 in view. They're not even well photoshoped... Look at shadows, mussel flashes, parallax on objects and so on... oh well. The one I said is real is the only good picture anyhow as it shows what the player would see in first person and not some free flight cam view, and that one actually has the HUD (but it's small as they have been capturing in really high res).

Are you sure those pics on the IGN page are from the PC?  I noticed on some images the status bar said it was loading "xbox360images.ign.com" or something similar to that.  That doesn't instill any confidence.

It looks like the coloration is much closer to that of GRAW 1 PC than what's on UBISoft's page.  The UBISoft page looks more like an XBox 360 image from GRAW 1. (WOW, GREEN uniforms...)

Also, something funny my wife said this evening.  I was playing a coop single player multiplayer (just me on a multi-player OGR coop map :roll:) map and my wife looked at the screen and asked:  "Is that game supposed to be on Venus?  The colors sure look like it."  I said, no, that it was on the PC planet "French-Fry" where everything is golden brown.  :tongue:

I'm very sure is PC. I'm also sure is from the PC, even though it's photoshoped... look at the muzzle flames, the shadow of the Stryker and the scale down on the back of the pickup in the upper left corner... I can say that GRiN ain't to happy with the screens UBI Soft has captured and arranged, because I know a few people at GRiN, DiCE, Starbreeze, Massive and Avalanche. The gaming world ain't to big in Sweden. Those are all the major actors.

Yeah, the wheels are in shadow, but they CAST shadows...

Took me a minute to figure out what you meant. Yeah, that shadow on the APC is messed up. It's like a mirror image instead of being generated from a true light source.

Like Wolfsong said, it's pretty obvious the picture was Photoshopped.
