BullSHIT. It wouldn't be run into the ground if UE4 made every game look like this. It would just be mainstream. We're not anywhere near even that.
I know, I'm just saying these things are getting a little easier to predict. You know, hot pink text and shit, never seen that before. Harumph!

Why does the font (right down to the color) that Far Cry 3 is displayed in look so familiar? And why do I get the feeling that this cover (maybe even including the fonts used) are a reference to something I've already seen? This all just seems so familiar...

I so very much want this and the feeling it gives,just as much as I wanted the silly Saints Row over the serious Grand Theft Auto.

I wish it was real but this being April 1st...

It was leaked like 1-2 months ago in the XBL news thread. It had a generic boxart with only the title of the game back then. If it's an April fool joke, it must means it's also playable since the achievements are also on the XBL network.

The trailer says its Cryengine? Didnt Far Cry 3 have its own engine? I know the engine used for Far Cry 3 is based on cryengine but why would it not say powered by Dunia Engine (2)?

Damn it, beaten!

Yeah, that's the first thing that stuck out for me.

I think that might be referring to the first Far Cry, which was mentioned before the line saying it's powered by CryEngine.

They could have simply submitted it early cause, apparently, the submission process takes awhile.

It looks a lot like an april fools joke -- nothing about it makes it seem like a video game. The presentation is extremely unique, if it actually is a game.

The fact that there are lots of "Recommendations" from various made up establishments, and/or real establishments, also suggests it's highly unlikely it's actually a game. It's just extremely unlikely that a big game studio like Ubisoft uses that in the PR/advertisement for a game, even if it's supposed to be a joke.

If it's a real game, there's money on the line. Would a big company like Ubisoft really risk advertising a game like this?

Also, the trailer/website didn't go up until today. Doesn't matter when it appeared on Xbox Live I think, since they might have submitted it early to make sure it was up by the time they wanted it up.

if it was a joke they didn't have to get the game rated or have it submitted to Microsoft....

c'mon...

it's obviously a real game and covered as a joke.

I swear I've seen that chromed FARCRY3 font in another game, but I can't remember it. I thought it was from Turrican at first.

Obviously real but they want you to speculate and think it might not be by releasing that video on April fools day. Smart marketing.
Would have been much more effective if all that other stuff had not leaked.
 
I will actually buy this. It looks very real... and very much so incredibly cool

Also for those who are wondering why it mentions cry engine and Cevat Yerli...

It is because Far Cry 3s engine is not Dunia but rather a very heavy iteration on top of cry engine 1 (used int he orginal Far Cry from Crytek). Hence why it mentions it.
 
That is it.

I am team real.

The animated .gif convinced me.

Along with the fact that there is leaked box art which does not even appear on the webpage.

FUCKING HYPED. Please be stand alone

The Far Cry 3 trailers say the same thing:

It's just an admittedly somewhat unclear reference to the fact that Dunia is based upon CryEngine.
