Bring back PREDATOR MODE.

 

[Junie12]

This reminds me I need to play Far Cry 2. But my backlog is so huge I don't think I'll have time to play it

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Please get this released on PC, and don't fuck it up Ubisoft.

Don't worry. It's coming for PC.

From the official site:

Not releasing a FarCry game on PC would have been pure insanity.

 

[legacyzero]

Bring back PREDATOR MODE.

THIS.

and this game BETTER keep the map editor!

 

[Willkiller]

Looks beautiful. Shame I wont have the hardware to run it for many years.

Spoiler

SAVE ME NEXT-GEN!!!

 

[RebornYeti]

THIS.

and this game BETTER keep the map editor!

The map editor is one of the Far Cry's signature features, and has been in every title so far, so I'm pretty sure it'll be kept in.

Highly anticipating the PC delay.

Also, copious amounts of DRM will be great.

And don't lend the game to your friends, you thief.

 

[Gordon0Freeman]

Fuck, I cannot wait for this and Prey 2. Open world shooters all up in my wallet!

 

[snoopeasystreet]

the guy who did Red Steel 2.

Really? Can't get his credits for many things. Hopefully he comes from a more hardcore background. One of the things I liked about the previous far cry games was that you felt like an ordinary dude in a world, you're rules of play were very much similar to those of your enemies. Modern games make you feel too much like you're the dude in a world and assume that the player character is the most badass person ever.

A map/mission editor on console would make this the game of the forever. I know that won't happen though.

I'd trade the map maker on consoles for mod support on the PC. As cool as the user made maps are, if Far Cry 2 was easily modifiable, the community would have turned that into something

amazing.

Why, wasn't there a map editor in FC2?

 

[-BLITZ-]

I would play anytime, ANYTIME the other console versions of FC, if Ubisoft will release them for PC in the near future.

 

[Neuromancer]

There was and it was great except it was tied to a shitty MP game. If they had opened it up to allow SP or co-op missions it would have been incredible.

I see what you mean, yes that would be rather nice.

 

[injurai]

Lets hope the aiming doesn't feel like vaseline has been smeared onto my mouse pad. This trend of PC FPS ports is getting tiring.

 

[legacyzero]

It's the only thing I care about. I lost MONTHS of my life in that editor. Oh, and By the way, I made this on the Xbox 360 verion

am I blind? I looked at the site and I dont see anything about a trailer on Feb 16

Funny, that was almost my reaction to Far Cry Instincts Predator on 360:

"Great map editor but tied to a shitty SP/MP game".


My friend/roommate and I never played more than lvl 1 of the SP and maybe one match of online MP. We spent our 50-60 hours in-game just making maps and fighting each other on the maps. I remember the excitement of coming home and finding a note saying "try my new map out". It was like Christmas.

I'm not seeing it either.

 

[Reckless Onion]

I'm not seeing it either.

Scroll to the left under where the trailer plays

I'm not seeing it either.

It's basically during GDC time next week.

 

[Neuromancer]

Hmm OK I'll take you guy's word for it.

 

[Dennis]

The best part is the reintroduction of the color blue into the FarCary universe.

FarCry was stunning and ahead of its time.

FarCry 2 was one of the most hideous games of all time.

FarCry 3 looks great so far.

 

[dLMN8R]

Let's hope Far Cry 3 is to the shitty Far Cry 2 what Assassin's Creed 2 was to the shitty Assassin's Creed.

Assassin's Creed 1 and Far Cry 2 were both terrible for essentially identical reasons. Huge, gorgeous world with absolutely nothing interesting to do in it beyond the first few hours.



More worried about the DRM story, though. And simultaneous PC release. Ubisoft is probably just *ITCHING* to fuck this up in as many ways as possible.

no


Far Cry 2 was awesome out side of all the respawning assholes on jeeps chasing you every five minutes.

 

[strafer]

My computer couldn't run Farcry.

 

[EatChildren]

Will your bad taste ever end?

 

[iNvid02]

i got far cry 2 for next to nothing in the steam sale, never really got into it though.

this looks awesome though

You haven't posted much for the last few days. Still reading those Mass Effect novels, aren't you? There is a comic now. You should check it out......

 

[V_Ben]

It's Ubisoft, so it will be delayed at least 1-3 years and get at least one reboot.

The thing is, this is probably the reboot. Remember the leaked Far Cry 3 artwork from a while back, when FC2 was either out or just coming out? That was probably the first version, and when they lost Hocking, they rebooted it. There, the curse remains!

lol

 

[Derrick01]

FarCry 2 was one of the most hideous games of all time.

The fuck? It was probably the best looking game of 2008 since Gears 2 didn't get a PC release. The fire and wind effects were great.

DENNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSS

 

[robin2]

I think the African setting was more fascinating on paper.

I hope this have wild animals, like crocodiles and other nasty things you have to watch out for, between a human slaughter and the next.

Also I hope it has a realistic illumination, instead of the usual a cinematic/dramatic/over-charged/artificial-staged.

And FOV setting too.

And of course no Ubi DRM of nightmare.

Thanks.

 

[RedSwirl]

Please get this released on PC, and don't fuck it up Ubisoft.

 

[Grieves]

I loved Far Cry 2.

Can't wait for this.

 

[Clevinger]

I can't wait for this. Far Cry 2 could have been a great game if not for a few gigantic flaws, which it sounds like they've fixed with this.

 

[Dennis]

Its hard to believe they made a place with as much potential as Africa look terrible but they did. The plastic foliage still haunts my dreams.

And who knew Africa had no colors besides desaturated brown.

And they completely missed the boat with the wildlife.

 

[burgerdog]

I absolutely hated fc2 and yet I still want to give this one a chance.

 

[DarknessTear]

Ohay, trailer on my birthday.

As is Ubi's custom!

They'll find a way, their history says so!

 

[legacyzero]

I dont think that's realtime gameplay... right?

 

[SketchTheArtist]

CG.

 

[subversus]

it's in the next Edge

the dude is Michael Mando. I think it is sort of sad that I'm looking forward to watching his perfomance more than playing the game.

gay-gaf might want to have a look at his site. he is hot I think even though I can't judge as a straight person.

Can't argue with this one.
