Far Cry® 3 Blood Dragon is THE Kick-Ass Cyber Shooter taking place on a bizarre open-world island crawling with evil. Welcome to an 80’s VHS vision of the future. The year is 2007 and you are Sargent Rex Colt, a Mark IV Cyber Commando who’s fighting against a cyborg army gone rogue. Your mission: get the girl, kill the baddies, and save the world. Experience every cliché of a VHS era vision of a nuclear future, where cyborgs, blood dragons, mutants, and Michael Biehn (Terminator, Aliens, Navy Seals) collide. Playing Far Cry® 3 Blood Dragon doesn't require a copy of Far Cry® 3.

MICHAEL BIEHN?! GAME OF THE FOREVER!

 

[AlphaTwo00]

So this is a game that decided to bypass focus testing would look like? May 1st? Sign me up!

 

[thetrin]

I seriously think it's physically impossible for me to be more excited for this game. I have never played a Far Cry game (nor do I have any interest), but this standalone DLC looks amazing.

 

[jwk94]

Is this an XBLA exclusive?

 

[Derrick01]

Sooo is it just another shooter but with a different color scheme/art style? I can't really tell the difference in the screens.

Worth noting it has been rated for all three:

 

[HyperBitHero]

...What am I looking at here?

 

[Dizzy-4U]

And when I thought it couldn't get any better, Michael fucking Biehn!! Game of the Forever.

 

[FastRedPonyCar]

Well I guess this means I'll be buying farcry 3 at last.

 

[DukeBobby]

I hated Far Cry 3, but this looks wonderful. Day 1.

 

[duckroll]

No, added info to OP.

 

[jediyoshi]

PC!

I'll take two.

 

[campfireweekend]

Well I guess this means I'll be buying farcry 3 at last.

But you don't need to! Standalone! Yay!

 

[jwk94]

No, added info to OP.

Thanks for the info.

Is this odd or not? I can't tell.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

This looks...insane

 

[SavagePlanet]

So is it still an open world design or is it linear? I'm guessing since it's an XBLA downloadable game, it will be linear and pretty short. But I hope I'm wrong, because this concept is amazing and has the potential to be severely awesome.

 

[kittens]

I don't care if it ends up being some generic shooter. It is pretty and 80s and I want it.

 

[iavi]

I can't believe this is real. I'm so glad this is real.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

MICHAEL BIEHN?! GAME OF THE FOREVER!

..that was Randy Pitchdford's thoughts once upon a time.

 

[Snuggles]

I'm guessing this content is accessed by interacting with the mushrooms in Dr. Earnhardt's cave.

Still open world, I have bolded more things in the OP so people might notice.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Man, it's like every thread I go into now has you shitting on the game either directly or passive-agressively. Is there anything you like? It's based on Far CRy 3, of course it's a shooter.

Anywho, this looks cool. Glad Ubi is trying some weird, alternate universe stuff with their DLC of late.

 

[Papercuts]

Awww yiss, my birthday will be glorious.

 

[Four_Chamber]

Alright Debbie Downer

My money, this game has it already.

 

[The Jason]

80's nostalgic futuristic awesomeness

so rad

 

[Stillmatic]

This hits every nerve of awesome. That dragon's gonna get blood, all of it.

 

[The Hermit]

holy shit its real... this is amazing!

 

[Canon]

Come on Ubisoft, show the U some love.

 

[legacyzero]

I called Michael Beihn in the other thread! I thought that looked like him.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

lol wow

 

[PinkCrayon]

 

[Zia]

I hope that they went all the way in with the concept. Balls deep or bust.

 

[Kuroyume]

Map editor?

 

[SloaneRisette]

With each little bit more I read about this, the more I want to play it.

 

[Tobor]

As a fan of bad 80's movies, this is beyond radical.

I can't even process how amazing this looks.

 

[Gbraga]

Shit, I need to play Far Cry 3 already

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

This looks amazing. I cannot wait to see a trailer or footage. So weird that officially nothing has been announced.

It was a legit question as I don't know anything about it except what I see in those screens. My question was serious, if it's just the same old but with a different style then I don't get the point.

 

[Liquid_Bike]

Day One it looks incredible.

 

[Squire]

GiantBomb will love it.

I will love it.

Spoiler

I still haven't played FC3.

 

[Extra Sauce]

What? The assets aren't even the same, only thing I recognized was a jeep.

 

[SavagePlanet]

Still open world, I have bolded more things in the OP so people might notice.

That's awesome! I'm sure the island will be much smaller than the FC3 world, but that also means there could be more awesomeness packed into each and every square foot! I wonder if there will be wildlife (besides blood dragons)?

 

[Draconian]

Sounds awesome.

 

[kuYuri]

This makes me wonder why it's even called Far Cry 3. Why not just Blood Dragon? There has to be a story behind this.

I am saying this not having played FC3 yet.
