Far Cry 2 (Video of 360 and PS3 versions)

[StrainedEyes]

I loved the first Far Cry (By first Far Cry I mean the one for the xbox and 360, with the predator powers, I never played the real first FC) and am excited for this.

I guess the big deal right now is just how awesome both versions look. Really pushing things graphically for both consoles.

From watching the interview, it kinda sounds it will have little to do with the previous console or pc versions.

It's definitely more a sequel to the PC game and has nothing to do with the console version. Which is fine, though I will miss slashing people and sending them flying through the air.

Far Cry Instincts : Predator, had a nice free roam section where you had to go through to a bunch of islands and take out 3 different depos. This game seems to be more in line with that style of gameplay, which is great because that little island hopping mission is really fun.

Less linear gameplay can have it's problems. But if done right it can be much more immersive.

Looks simply amazing, but i´ll probably get it for the PC

I thought FC: Instincts was absolute trash, so im not sure what to make of this one.

I actually had the pleasure of sitting down and seeing (twice) a 10 minute demonstration of Far Cry 2 at play.com live, presented by one of the games producers, and the results were stunning. Quality, open ended gameplay, a clever AI system, good game mechanics (i.e. aiming, movement, driving) and overall was very impressed and will definately be purchasing this come its release. Plus, the producer was incredibly nice, answering my questions with good constructive answers, and not minding when I made a massive faux pas which still haunts me to this day. (I wont reveal the details)

I haven't played the console version, but It's sounds like they took that idea and tacked it on to crysis, it's like your predator as well changing from stealth to strength etc...

I wouldn't be so sure of that, They were crying about crysis getting pirated until EA announced released the 3 mil sales, which is good for a high end pc game on a niche market, they seem to have retracted there multiplatform from now on stance. This however is multiplatform, ps3/xbox360/pc, take diffrent loads and consoles make more money, it wouldn't be surprising if they adopted it more for console users, take alook at Epic, they have practically gave the pc the finger. Scrapping the previous incarnations allow them to make a more unified version. Far Cry Instincs got good ratings, so as a pc user, probably wont be complaining. The pc version had a cornball story and campy monsters, getting rid of that is defiantly a good thing.
