I heard rumours that the AI is pretty simple compared to the PC version.

That's probably a consequence of the controller more than anything, ie you're not as responsive and accurate with a controller compared to mouse/keyboard, hence the ai needs to be toned down for that slower response. I've noticed that in general in a lot of FPS for consoles.

Or perhaps by setting the ai to the highest lvl my athlon xp 2500+ quickly hides in a corner and waits for death to come for it ?

By raising the ai my framerates drop.

I don't think a 700mhz celeron is going to be able to handle the graphics and the ai which is among the best i've ever seen in a game .

Hell, Farcry is one hell of a hard game.... I'm sure the millions of teenagers with an Xbox will be ok with a dumbed down Farcry. They're only gonna buy it to look at the pretty graphics anyway, so...

Really? Is that what makes even my A64-powered system cry? Far...cry? And i thought it was the masochistic stubborness of keeping the settings to VERY HIGH....

it has to be the cpu. I can turn all the graphics up and put 6xfsaa and 16 aniso on my x800xt and get the same frame rates. I put on the highest ai and my frame rates drop

You might need a new card

Yeah, let me run and spend 300 quid on a new card!!! Hold on i'll be back in 10 mins!! :?

It's true, the only way i see a big drop in framerate is when enabling VERY HIGH Shadows, or when going 8xAA (which looks gorgeous but it's useless at ~10fps...
Anything else, the framerate is the same, i can put all the settings on LOW, and after i go blind from the ugliness, i notice that the framerate is prety much the same as it was before, when using VERY HIGH settings for everything but the shadows......

I'm sure they've had to make many concessions to fit it in, and with all likelihood we'll get more stuttering from the game than with others, but so far it still looks encouraging. Let's just hope it STAYS encouraging.

What graphics card do you have?

A 256MB GFFX 5900U.

*ducks*

Look, i know, let's not get into the whole "the GFFXs suck" discussion. I know. I only got it because i work with Maya at home and as everyone knows, ATI+Maya=Disaster. Nvidia was the best option. And it's good enough for games at the moment so i'm happy.

London boy I figured out why you don't have problems with the ai sucking cpu cycles . You set it auto configure so the ai gets smarter or dumber depending on how well u play. So the cpu has tons of cycles left over considering how much u suck at life !!!
