Hi everyone, I'm trying to adapt the E3 Pre-Alpha demo of Far Cry that was leaked a while ago by the BRP Team using dg Voodo 2 (or anything really that might make it run), BRP is a Far Cry fan project that goes trought various articles showcasing the game development history of the original 2004 Far Cry game, with the ultimate goal to restore as much cut content as it can be possible, giving a glimpse at the original Far Cry intended experience, you can find more info about the project here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/brp

The E3 2002 Demo article can be found here, if anyone is curious about it or wants to try it out himself (do note that right now it only works on nVidia cards and it requires a hot fix, also the download instructions/links are at the bottom of the article): https://www.moddb.com/mods/brp/features/explo … ry-e3-2002-demo

Any help or input is valuable, the thanks in advance !

Interesting. How much original content is estimated to have been cut?

Quite a lot actually, Far Cry is the spiritual succesor of X Isle, a game Crytek have been working on from 1999 up untill 2001-2002, it's hard to extimate correctly, if I'm being honest it's nearly 100% of the game since the game was "repurposed" as a spiritual succesor internally, realistically however, after X Isle was canceled and they decided to make the Far Cry its own game, I would say about 50-60% of the game previous ideeas and concepts were cut from final, so it's about half of the game.

Out of curiosity, what are your sources for all this info?

Like with all Restoration Projects, sources come from a variety of things such as old gaming magazines, old promotional videos and trailers, leaked builds (such as the Multiplayer and the E3 Pre Alpha Demo etc) and so on.
