Loading ...Far Cry 2, woot
Chris
I’m a bit bored of alien invasions and having super human powers so I’m refusing to get excited by Crysis. Thankfully, Far Cry 2 sounds like everything Crysis isn’t (well at least as far as I can tell from the Crysis trailers). Ubisoft has bought the rights to the Far Cry name and decided to take the series in a different, less silly direction.
One comment in particular from PC Gamer’s sneak preview of Far Cry 2 caught my eye:
“Neither the player nor the enemy have any ‘powers’ other than those that any individual human can summon up in extreme circumstances”
Nothing to break the illusion, real guns, real tactics, real enemies and a beautiful, massive African savannah to explore - sounds like it’s going to be my sort of game. One thing to note, not bothered which engine Ubisoft use to be honest, but it’s unlikely to be CryEngine 2, as that’s owned by Crytek, and they do not share power…
Who knows though, maybe I’ll be eating my words about Crysis come Christmas.
Real?
What the cheese was real about far cry! I’m not expecting much from the next one. First one was rubbish, running through the jungle fighting giant super monkey thingys.
Also, whats tactical about a guy spotting you 3 miles away in a bush with a sniper rifle.
Precisely, which is why the developer’s focus on reality is promising 
These things aren’t games, they’re sims really, action film sims, but I just want it to be a good action film sim, rather than a crap one.
I can what your saying, have to see what the next Far Cry is like before I bad mouth it off into the Negaverse.
I don’t know about you mbut from the videos i’ve seen, I don’t think I would pull bullets out of my hand or legs with a pair of pliers *cringe*, or try and pop my own shoulder back in after a car accident, thats just stupid, I don’t think I could ever do that, even in ‘ extreme circumstances’. Joe
