Far Cry 3: New details, New Trailer, Release Date: Sep 4, 2012 (N.A)

I'm still yet to finish Far Cry 2

I get the feeling the Jackal is Jack Carver.

"There was one tester who found a hang-glider and approached the radio tower this way, which allowed him to avoid battle"

Sold. The ability to avoid battles completely is pretty cool

What a terible acrticle. I can barely read the info. Would it have killed him to brack some of that up?

I didn't like far cry 2 so i pray far cry 3 isn't anything like far cry 2.

I don't want to avoid them as such but the option to do it set off bells in my head. You can kind of know what the gameplay will be like if it allows this sort of stuff. You know now that guys can't see you from half the continent away and hit you with blinding accuracy. Far Cry 2 to me felt like it took most of the power away from the player but this seems to give it back to you and make you feel like a badass killing machine which is what a game like this should be. It's not a realistic military FPS game so don't treat it that way.

Black_Knight knows what I mean :P

With a big open sandbox like this that is exactly how you should feel though.Just Like making Just Cause 2 realistic would ruin that too. Im looking forward to this game now a lot more. Seems they have fixed some of the issues I was having with FC2, which was a huge shame because I really really wanted to love that game. It had the potential to really wow me. Still a lot of fun though

Sounds more like Far Cry Instincts that Far Cry 2 which is a GREAT thing!

I LOVED Instincts so much. One of the best shooters I have ever played. The online was just superb and the campaign was fun.

Far Cry 2 on the other hand was boring and totally lost my interest. One of the biggest disappointments ever...

If they turn out to have predator powers in this game I would be sooooo happy. The Predator gametype in Instincts was such an awesome and unique game mode.

Also, they best have the epic mapmaker in this game!

May I direct your attention to the rear view mirror? Not many games have that.

Instincts was one of the best games of last generation. But Far Cry 2 was pretty cool.

Also, this:

First thing I've read:

"- When you pause Far Cry 3, you'll see regular menu options."

...

lol?

I'll wait for the video, not reading that.

I'm still yet to finish Far Cry 2

Ilovegames1992

Close, it turns out the Jackal was just your alter ego and doesn't exist, and also you were dead the whole time.

Yeah its full of twists.

Sounded more like a novel than game details.

I think that's entirely dependent on difficulty though. Far Cry 2 on Normal could be played like a one many army type shooter, while Just Cause 2 on the hardest difficulty becomes insanely difficult. Hopefully its the same here, since I like being able to find a comfy difficulty level that suits my playstyle, and while I LOVE being able to play stealthy and free, I would hate for the game to limit others because its too hard.

I barely played much of it. Tried to love it but just couldn't. I thought it was pretty awfu;, especially when compared to how great Instincts was....

God that multi-player, having to level your **** up EVERY ROOM you went into....

The single player was just bad too...

Yeah its full of twists.

Did you read the first sentence?

You fuking bastardo.

Wait, so is this game open world like The elder Scrolls and Just Cause 2? Or is it open world like Crysis which had a set beginning and end point in a level but allowed for objectives to be tackled from many different directions?

[QUOTE="sukraj"]

i totally agree i'm really excited that its an open world fps.

Black_Knight_00

You didn't need to direct anything, I'm pretty damn impressed as it is.

AH back to Far Cry 1's roots. This game looks pretty amazing

Looks like a big improvement on Farcry 2 and looks more like the first games of the series. Really looking forward to it.

Did you read the first sentence?

You fuking bastardo.

Yeah I was, but for that insult I will for real spoil it:

At the end of Far Cry 2, you go to arrest The Jackal on top of some building and you call your chubby black buddy to help you arrest him. Unfortunately on the elevator ride down you get shot in the head by the other Jackal (Jackal 2), who then shoots your chubby black buddy. Jackal shoots him, then makes it look like he was the arms dealer all along while he was innocent, but then Mark Wahlberg shoots him in the face in his apartment, then the game ends.

That is what you get for calling me a bastardo.

[QUOTE="Gibsonsg527"]

[QUOTE="Zensword"] Why you want to avoid battle in a ... shooting game ? :DBlack_Knight_00

Its shaping up really good. FC2 was a major letdown but this seems to be the game that i wanted FC2 to be. I just hope i can do some scuba diving & some shark hunting :D

Im hoping they also work on the stealth as well, & not have every single enemy alerted to your presence, know where you are at all times, & have deadly accuracy from 20 miles away. I also think something like the last Known Position feature from Splinter Cell Conviction would work great for a game like this.

Having finally played conviction this week I will say that's a good feature. At least it let's you know what's going on and you're not guessing all the time. It will allow for fast tactile combat. I'm sure higher difficulties will have it removed though

Also those pics look insane. I'm almost having a hard time believing they're all 100% in game. But they seem to be legit. looks great

^Looking forward to the new SC! :D

Is Far Cry 3 going to be a PC-release only or is it possible that it will be coming to consoles? Were any of the previous two games made for console as well or were those also PC-exclusives?

No its coming to all the consoles.

Cool!

I want to see some gameplay footage. That trailer didn't get me going, since it didn't offer anything new for the game. I'll have to wait.

The first Far Cry is technically a PC exclusive. There was an indirect port that followed the same basic premise while giving the player some abilities that released on the consoles (Xbox, PS2, maybe Gamecube, I forget). Instincts itself had a sequel called Evolution for the Xbox and they also put both Instincts and Evolution on the 360 under the title Predator.

Then there was a crappy one made for the Wii, I forget the subtitle.

Far Cry 2 was then released on the 360, PS3, and PC.
