A new Far Cry 3 trailer has confirmed that those pre-ordering Far Cry 3 will get the Lost Exhibitions Edition, which includes two exclusive missions for an extra 40 minutes of gameplay. And it shows a hang glider. And sharks.

The missions are called Forgotten Experiment and Ignition in the Deep, and will only be available for pre-ordering. Don’t be gigantically surprised if the levels are pushed out as DLC after launch, however.

Pre-orderers will also get an extra weapon for multiplayer: the Type 10 Japanese WWII Flare Gun. For flaring stuff.

The video itself features new gameplay, footage from the E3 and gamescom demos last year, and some old video from a recent demo.

Antagonist Vas talks about insanity again, just to be sure. And yep, the hang glider’s in there; it couldn’t be Far Cry without it. Bet you weren’t banking on having sharks in the water, though.

Get it below with new shots. Far Cry 3 releases on September 7 for PS3, 360 and PC. [PAL Date]

Trailer

Gamersyde has the 60fps video: http://www.gamersyde.com/news_far_cry_3_gameplay_trailer-12641_en.html

Does the game feature hunting? I guess yes.

The game cover art:

Do we get to run around and shoot people in this one?

 

[Neuromancer]

As if I needed any more reason to preorder it.

 

[TemplaerDude]

What an awesome trailer. Can't wait for this damn game.

 

[catapult37]

Spoiler

either not a dinosaur, or it's an in-game hallucination... either way AWESOME

oh boo, posted too soon, looks like a komodo. game needs dinosaurs

It's a komodo dragon.

 

[rikichi]

that is one shitty cover art design

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

Sweet. Withholding gameplay to force people to preorder it.

 

[RiverBed]

Sweet. Withholding gameplay to force people to preorder it.

I'll think they'll offer it for sale soon after release (a couple of months?).

 

[FLEABttn]

Sweet. Withholding gameplay to force people to preorder it.

They did the same with FC2 kinda. A step further and made it retailer specific.

And yes, that cover is awful.

 

[bengraven]

Have I ever told you the definition of insanity?

 

[rezuth]

Wow...

 

[Atruvius]

Going by cover art the main character is a diglet.

 

[callmedave]

They're keeping that terrible cover art? The bloody machete was much better.

 

[bigboss370]

inception horn all up in here

screw this preorder bullshit man wtf? taking stuff out of the game just for pre-order bonuses...so wrong. its worse than those other preorders bonuses that give you an extra weapon or two because this one is two entire missions.

 

[Decado]

Hmmm. Hard to tell from the trailer, but it looks like they've skipped implementing model/skin damage again. Wake me up when shooters start getting the shooting people/things part right. Will likely pass.

 

[Kaako]

You had me at psychedelics. I would play a game that did that for 20+ hours where no gun/fighting was involved to be honest. Just exploration whether mental or physical.

 

[legacyzero]

I want this game to do dirty things to me.

Seriously the only game I want this year!

 

[panty]

Seems like an awful lot of spoilers in that trailer. Stopped half-way through.

 

[TheNamelessOne]

Still looks shit compared to Crysis.

 

[specialguy]

I wish it was coming out in a couple weeks instead of Sep 7. I'll probably buy it either way, but I think it might do better if it was releasing now.

 

[specialguy]

Still looks shit compared to Crysis.

Crysis is a shitty, bug riddled game. Sure this will be better, but not much isn't.

 

[SupraDarky]

That cover makes me laugh, I'm not sure if it's intentional.

 

[Gileadxv]

That was a trailer done right. Looks exciting! I am, however, disappointed with the trend of exclusive missions being tied to pre-orders.

 

[Pctx]

My guess is that the first half of the game is a flashback and that he has been transported back to Mexico in which the last half of the game is set in. This would make most sense giving the player FC1 and FC2 type locales and diverse environments.

The drug aspect looks interesting.

 

[Nibel]

I really like that insane bad guy

 

[disappeared]

Interesting cover. Not necessarily good or bad, but interesting.

Why they felt the need to cartoon-ify/blur/alter it for the North American release... who knows.

 

[Barakov]

The more I see of this the more I want to play it. However, the more I look at that cover the more I think it's one of the worst covers of this gen.

 

[DTKT]

That's a pretty bad cover.

The drug mechanic could be interesting if it's well implemented.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

Looks frickin' awesome.

bad cover though =/

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

Pre-orderers will also get an extra weapon for multiplayer: the Type 10 Japanese WWII Flare Gun. For flaring stuff.

Woot I can relive one of my favorite movie scenes!

 

[Muzzy]

They did the same with FC2 kinda. A step further and made it retailer specific.

Yep, "The Lost Expeditions" is for Europe only I think. Here's what North America will get with GameStop.

EDIT: BesBuy also has the Lost Expeditions pre-order bonus.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Awesome trailer

 

[Goldrusher]

Weird how neither the PS3 nor the Xbox cover has the online logo (PSN and Live respectively).

 

[Randdalf]

What do you bet that the hallucination sequences are only a small portion of the game and that they're only emphasising it because of the good reaction to them in the previous trailers and previews.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

wow, i havent been excited for a new game/fps for a long time. Never even played any of the Crisis or Far Cry games but this one has me sold. Not to mention I just built a new PC, so I am ready...

 

[ColonialRaptor]

Oh my god! How good does that look!

I hope the R18 rating is in effect in Australia though because if it's not by then, this game is a PRIME candidate for BAN.

 

[CloakedPuppet]

I'm trying to see what's bad about the cover. Looks fairly bad-ass.

Very much looking forward to this one. Reminds me that I have to finish FC2 one of these days. Love the immersion in that game!

 

[TemplaerDude]

What do you bet that the hallucination sequences are only a small portion of the game and that they're only emphasising it because of the good reaction to them in the previous trailers and previews.

So? The rest of the game looks fucking bad ass too.

 

[legacyzero]

Weird how neither the PS3 nor the Xbox cover has the online logo (PSN and Live respectively).

hmmmm?

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

I dunno. This game seems to be more scripted? One of the reasons why I loved FC2 was because you can do anything you wanted.

P.S. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAWM

 

[Nizz]

I'm surprised they seem to be using Cryengine instead of their own Dunia engine. Not watching that trailer because I want to save it for the game itself. I really liked Far Cry 2, even with the irritating respawning enemies. Controls could be better, hope they're solid in FC3 (console).

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Comes out on a Friday? Or is that the EU date?

 

[Darklord]

This game will be banned in Australia for drug use. Just watch.

 

[SamuraiX-]

That was so bad it was good.

BBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

 

[Seda]

Comes out on a Friday? Or is that the EU date?

That's the EU date.

 

[Dennis]

I hate the way that guy fucking looks and he is on the fucking cover......

Moar Inception horn, plz

 

[Muzzy]

Comes out on a Friday? Or is that the EU date?

September 7th is for the UK. Other countries in Europe will get it on September 6th while it will be out in North America on September 4th.

 

[Darklord]

Moar Inception horn, plz

He looks awesome.
