You say you don't have a PC that will be capable of running Far Cry 2, but you do have a new, current generation console you can play it on? You also say that you're wondering how big of a graphical hit the console versions will receive compared to the PC version? Well, I say you talk way too much and should listen up.
CVG sat down with FC2's art director, Alex Amancio. This man braved the actual South African wilderness so that you can enjoy it virtually in Far Cry 2.

And how have you found managing these assets to work on both consoles and PC?So worry not console fans, the game is going to look stunning no matter where or how you play it.
Amancio: [...][W]e do have a very limited memory on console so instead of taking that as a negative we redesigned our graphical pipeline and memory's no longer an issue. We can have the open world, we can have the crispness... everything.
For you as the art director, it must be more satisfying to see it up and running on PC though?
Amancio: As you can see the game is the same. Obviously the resolution is much higher but I'm extremely proud to have this game up and running on Xbox and PS3 unchanged. To have this open world, this level of dynamic elements and this level of crispness, actually running on a console.
