This is certainly a....FAR CRY....from what I was expecting

I don't understand why it's an arcade game. OK there's a lot of things about this that I don't understand, but maybe that's OK.

If I had to guess, I'd say it was originally DLC like Undead Nightmare for RDR, but took on a life of its own and they decided to turn it into a standalone game.

Just a wild and random guess though.

In any case, the achievement list for those who haven't seen it.

Welcome to the Party, Pal - Finished Helicopter Entry (20)
One Small Step - Finished First Garrison (20)
Way to Go, Garri-Son - Finish all the Garrisons (20)
Kill Them All - Finish all the Predator's Path Quests (50)
End Game - Finished Final Showdown (5)
Nice Like Jesus - Finish all the Hostages Situations (30)
Murder Nature - Kill all the Animal Types (5)
Set Them Free - Destroy 5 Braincages (15)
Just the Tip - Kill a Dragon with the Bow (20)
Blood Dragon Down - Kill Your First Dragon (20)
Dragon Slayer - Kill 25 Dragons (20)
What are You Reading For? - Find all of Dr. Carlyle's Notes (20)
The Greatest Format of all Time - Find all VHS Tapes (40)
Hail to the King - Reach Maximum Level and Become the Ultimate Badass (30)
Running man - After saving Darling, enter Combat Mode with a Dragon and Return to Stealth (20)
Tooled Up - Own all Weapons Attachments (20)
Derp - Jump Down from 50 Meters (20)
The Drug of the Nation - Find all TV SETS to Decrypt the Hidden Message (15)
The Only True Stopper - Headshot Every Type of Enemy (50)

Lots of retro references.
 
Sooo... has this been officially announced or what?

Not yet. We have the leaked box art, the achievement list, the rating from the AUS classification list and the lead writer of FC3 talking about working on "surprising" new content. I think it's safe to say it's happening, but they aren't ready to reveal yet.

In related news, EG is reporting that Far Cry Classic has been listed by the Korean ratings board.

HD release of Fary Cry 1?
 
Well its possible but I would have thought it might be more likely to be PC/PS3 ports of Instincts and (Instincts) Predator games rather than the Crytek original.

I haven't played those, are they any good? I've always wanted to play the original FC, but never really got around to it.

Maybe its the Far Cry 3 campaign through the eyes of an insane person. Everything on the island switched out for a more awesome and insane version.

the original far cry on pc was amazing for the time, aliens were kinda dumb, ymmv cause its an older game. the far crys instinct were different beast altogether, smaller, dumber i faintly remember there being like an energy sword halo style or something, i enjoyed the second version of instincts, first was pretty shit.

Well if it is a joke, then so what. I can't imagine either M$ or Ubisoft would make fake stuff to fool willing customers, that seems both like an awful business decision, and a really bad joke.

If it's just the cover that is the joke. Then that wouldn't be too smart either. You'll just end up with angry customers.

If the joke is: "Wow this piece of DLC is batshit. Lasers! Dragons! Cool dudes!" Then who cars, that would just mean new and possibly great DLC. Who would be the fooled one?

This better not turn into an April Fool's joke cause I'm gonna knock down all racks in sight. This shit needs to become a reality!
 
This can't be real right? This is something Volition would do for Saints Row. If Far Cry 3 is truly embracing over-the-top ridiculousness then take my money because holy shit this is incredible!!!

Is this game a riff on Hotline Miami? Like, a score-based isometric assassination type deal? Getting those sorts of vibes from the box art.
