With the new 4K texture pack and addition of Survival Mode, we would not be surprised if original critics considered revising their scores up a couple points to accommodate both of these often-suggested features. Aggregate reviews from Metacritic gave the game a 79 percent for the Xbox One, 76 percent for the PlayStation 4 and 75 percent for PC, with one reviewer calling the game’s pre-historic setting its greatest strength.
All we can say is that we look forward to seeing screenshots and video demonstrations of this anti-aliasing mod being used with the upcoming 4K textures next month.Ĭurrent sub-pixel morphological anti-aliasing (SMAA) mod by GDGE for Far Cry Primal (Larger image here.)įar Cry Primal is another single-player installment in the Far Cry series, but this time it is set in a pre-historic, fictional Central Europe in an open environment filled with many large, now-extinct creatures that contribute to the game’s survival difficulty. The following screenshots show the SMAA enhancement in Far Cry Primal running on a Core i7 5820K, Geforce GTX 980 GPU and 16GB of RAM at 1920x1080 resolution. For more information, here is a quick glossary of anti-aliasing terms. Early comparisons show it has similar performance to FXAA with noticeably higher quality and uses significantly less memory than modes like MSAA (Multi-Sample Anti-Aliasing), CSAA (Coverage Sampled Antialiasing), SGSSAA (Sparse Grid Super-Sampled Anti-Aliasing), and SSAA (Super-Sampled Anti-Aliasing). It is relatively easy to implement and configure. SMAA is a post-processing effect originally developed by Crytek and based on AMD’s MLAA.
