I really like the game, that's for sure... Revolutionary... Yeah, I've seen that term used before with this game, but I don't really agree... It doesn't offer anything really new. Everything in the game is above average, and the graphics are definetely groundbreaking... But revolutionary? Nah.. Doom, and Duke Nukem.. Those games were revolutionary.. The FPS industry is growing like mad, but because there's a new game on the shelves every week, the improvements are small, and steady.. Maybe if we stop making FPS for about a year or two, and then release something new.. Yeah, then we'll have something revolutionary... Great.. Now I'm confused too.
EDIT: Hm.. maybe the graphics WERE revolutionary... Isn't really my forte, so I don't know all the specifics, but I've never seen a game with so much eye for detail and atmosphere, graphic-wise..
Not to say that Farcry isn't special.. I'm still amazed by how the way the water looks and the panoramas...
Hm.. Maybe Serious Sam was revolutionary.. I've never seen such large terrains filled with so much baddies, without ANY decrease in frame rate whatsoever.. And not only the scenery was HUGE, but some of the enemies too..
