Far Cry 3!

Scar Symmetry · 06-11-2011, 01:37 AM

This game looks amazing, looks infinitely better than 2, which while great was a deeply, deeply flawed game. Looks like they've kicked up the voice acting and script a fair few notches and invested in proper character development as well as better action scenes.

Colour me extremely excited :3

spattergrind · 06-11-2011, 01:44 AM

Yes!
I love me some Far Cry...
The ending of 2 was pretty lame considering how long the game was. Hopefully they dont do that in this one.

100% man, such a ridiculously weak ending to the game. It looks like with 3 they're adding somewhat of an RPG element which would benefit the game greatly.

Looks interesting...

Stealthdjentstic · 06-11-2011, 06:31 PM

I hope they fix the gameplay. Far Cry has always had cool graphics and cool ideas like the fire spread in the last one...its just the gameplay usually hinders them.

ittoa666 · 06-11-2011, 08:43 PM

Glad to see you can loot bodies now.

Origin · 06-11-2011, 10:25 PM

I loved 2, and this looks way better haha.

harkonnen8 · 06-12-2011, 07:32 AM

I hate those ....ing +10 elements. This isn't multiplayer. There is no need for that.

It would be nice if they had a leveling system that those points go towards.

If you watch the second video, the producer explains that this is the case.

Don't mention it

This game is going to rule so hard, my spidey senses are going crazy.

Prydogga · 06-13-2011, 07:07 AM

Same. The FPS cover system actually looks really fluid and effective, much more than anything I've ever seen in an FPS before.

I hope there's no more of the 'Jeep pulls up, sounds like a cougar, scares the .... out of you, guys get out 5 ft away and pump AK 47 in your face while you're still recovering from the scary ass jeep sound' shit. Seriously, that sound was death!

But really though, this looks so good. I've seen that opening scene been tackled in a number of ways, and none were the way I'd choose. I love how diverse it looks like scenarios can be completed! DO ....ING WANT

Definitely. The realistic RPG elements can stay and I'm glad that you can now loot bodies, but the ridiculous AI has hopefully been fine tuned.

As for the cover system, I still haven't figured out why Activision haven't forced either COD company to implement it yet. FPS is a genre where a cover system could be the player's most powerful defence tool.

Can't wait to climb up a friggin' volcano and then jump in.

Prydogga · 06-13-2011, 07:24 AM

Yeah, I remember there were little youtube clips on FarCry 2 focusing on various elements of the game, one featured someone playing 'cat and mouse' with a silenced sniper/other scoped gun that was silenced from FarCry 2 to attract more targets, I never had the opportunity to do anything like that in game.

Also, if I have to do missions to unlock a new set of guns from a damn gun store again, and bloody hunt for every bloody diamond again I'm going to be annoyed. The financial and mission mechanic for Far Cry 2 was very realistic, but very distracting and hindered trying to enjoy the overall game. I hope there's a revamp of all that here.

Daemoniac · 06-13-2011, 07:26 AM

I won't lie - I never played the earlier games despite hearing excellent things - but this looks awesome

I will buy.

Prydogga · 06-13-2011, 07:30 AM

Here we go. THIS NEVER WORKS, STUPID AI

Fix this for the next game, and I'll be a ....ing happy camper. Insanely smart AI (Halo on Heroic+/CoD on Veteran/Crysis 1 and 2) really pisses me off, especially when stealth is supposed to be a viable option.

Tomo009 · 06-13-2011, 07:34 AM

I am liking that there is an excuse that every goddamn person in the world wants you dead this time. I found it kind of strange in 2 that every single freaking person outside wanted you dead, but as soon as you were indoors, you were all cool.

... Dumb AI is the bane of good video games

Prydogga · 06-13-2011, 09:15 AM

I wonder if they'll keep a map editor that usable on consoles. That was an amazing and underrated feature. Better than forge, that's for sure.

Daemoniac · 06-13-2011, 05:44 PM

Not enough games give you a map editor... It's one of those awesome and unexpectedly fun things to do, then perfect, then play on.

Yeah dude seriously. I remember being all excited to try and be stealthy in FC2 and it just really didn't work. They better not do things all half assed this time around.

I also kind of want the original crazy powers you got like in Far Cry 1. IMO, they made the game.

Origin · 06-13-2011, 06:21 PM

I do remember Far Cry 2 vids of all these amazing ways to play and having it turn out to be bullshit, but I was too immersed into the game by then to care.

The core gameplay wowed me, I loved the feel and ballistics of the guns and the forced off crosshair in the hardest mode, made it that much more visceral. It helped me look past the (very) numerous flaws the game had. That and chasing zebras in a dune buggy and having an antelope or whatever accidentally run directly in my path and arc into the horizon after the most abrupt and sickening smack. I jumped but .... I laughed.

I hope 3's got that intense, immersive feel too. By the trailer it looks like it does, though the needless XP system will probably nerf it to hell.

Prydogga · 06-15-2011, 02:37 AM

IMO FarCry 1 originally had that levele of realism and tension that wasn't hindered by a gimmick like aliens/mutants and powers.... Until I reached the mutants and powers.

FarCry should stay real
