Far Cry 3 alternate demo playthrough video (sniping, more action)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0oZ5V3eXbQ&feature=feedu

Ubisoft released an alternate playthrough for their FarCry 3 E3 2011 demo. Not extremely different from what we've seen before, but there's enough new details to make it interesting: some sweet sniping action with an SVD (a great thing is sniper aim is unsteady, like in CoD), he uses a zip line to cross the encampment, he loots up an SD card from a body, he chucks a few grenades around, he blows up a bridge wiith an explosive barrel, he slides around (like in FC2) and you can see an on-screen message saying he leveled up and has 1 skill point ready to be spent.

Pretty sweet video, definitely check it out if yu're hyped about this game

i watched this on ign earlier it looks good

Looks awesome.

I'm actually playing Farcry 2 right now, it's one of the most addictive and open games I've ever played.

You can be a guerilla, moving around, living off the land, kill militia, cause havok.

Think "Just Cause 2" but in first person without the grappling hook.

If any of you decide to try it out just remember the 1 thing that is the key to having fun in this game : Get out and walk.

Alot of people don't have fun because they are stuck to the idea of using cars, then they run into patrols every 10 seconds and it gets goddamn annoying.

Car is a temporary thing you use, for a few seconds here and there. %90 of the time I am on foot, and the game opened up and went from tedious to awesome.

Holy s***! That was freaking awesome. So many options.... the zipline sealed it for me.

When is this game coming out? i wanna play it now.

I might even give Far Cry 2 another chance. I got bored to death playing just the first hour.

I agree. I only use the car in Far Cry 2 when it tactically makes sense or I want to mix things up. With enough patience and a good loadout I can sneak from one end of the map to the other, completely bypassing patrols and sneaking strait through outposts. Driving is just a surefire way to attract attention to yourself. Cars are useful when you use them for plowing through defenses, getting away from hotspots, or making car bombs to ambush convoys, but if you just drive your way from point a to point b, taking head on every enemy you see, of course it'll get repetetive. The game gives you incredible freedom, you're supposed to use it.

I didn't really like FC2, but that looked really good. The only thing that I didn't like is the XP popping up when you killed someone.

It looks awesome i'm defintly going to buy it when it comes out next year.

Was playing some FC2 last night, game rocks so hard.

I was on one of the weapon shop missions where you have to kill a truck.

Snuck into militia camp, stole their diamond, turned around there was a guy there...shot him in the face, then I hear the truck.

Pull out RPG, nailed the truck, it set off a chain reaction that blew up barrels and killed another couple of guys.

Then I ran out of the camp with 2 jeeps chasing me and snuck away.

I took zero damage, nailed the truck, got the diamond, and spent 3 bullets.

Had this big smile on my face like "yeah I'm bad, I'm bad."

Sniper loadout : Dragunov, Uzi, RPG

Commando loadout : Silent MP5, IED, Dart Rifle

It sounds great when you say it like that sure. But everyone who has played Far Cry 2 knows that its actually pretty awful. The gameplay mechanics are so messed up. Its like they built a gorgeous game and then the gameplay was just slapped on at the end. Awful AI and very repetitive. And it also has the problem of "if you shoot one guy suddenly they all know where you are". But I still had lots of fun just running around setting things on fire

[QUOTE="Black_Knight_00"] I SO agree. Listening to the trees rustling in the wind, hiding in the tall grass while spying on militias with your sniper scope, watching thousands of leaves dancing in a storm, jumping in the river from the tallest rock... that's what makes FarCry2 amazing. Cars are a nuisanceBlack_Knight_00

I hope Far Cry 3 addresses these problems though. Nothing worse than having a gorgeous game with horrible fundamentals. Fix AI and repitition and it will have me hooked

Only two things I don't like too much about FarCry3 are the XP numbers popping up after every kill and the enemy awareness arrows. I hope they let us turn that stuff off. FarCry needs no HUD or indicatorsBlack_Knight_00

Definitely agree. It makes things too arcadey and easy with that BS. Needs to be immersive.

Agreed, on and off would be nice too though.
