Far Cry 2

[Beezle_Boss]

I made this thread for everyone 2 talk about Far Cry 2. Whats your input on this next-gen game? Personally I think its gonna kick ass.

[hitchface]

The short trailer I saw didn't really give much away. As long as it looks gorgeous like the last one did and it doesn't feel like Crysis, I'll buy it.

Not that I don't like Crysis...but who wants two similar games with a different title?

[Beezle_Boss]

I like the idea that you can burn Africa to the ground.

*faced*

Same company that created Crysis and possibly same engine, I really cannot see how they are going to not colliding FC2 into Crysis.

I have not even play FC 1 yet; is it any good?

[Beezle_Boss]

I heard Far Cry one was really good in its days (graphics) just like Crysis. But Far cry 2 isnt Crytex, Far cry 2 is from Ubisoft.

Crytek develops the engine for a game like that, but yes, Ubisoft will be the publisher. I doubt that Crytek wouldn't be involved...otherwise they'd have to change the name of the game.

Far Cry 1 is pretty sweet. After playing a game like CoD4 or Crysis, it feels dated (as in not natural enough with character movement and the use of shaders) but is still a gorgeous and fun game. The AI is still really smart, and when they have a wide open environment to play with, things get ugly real fast.

From what I have heard FC2 is going to add some more inventive game play. for instance when you get shot you better hide and bandage or run the risk of death. There will be no conventional health meter.

Heck, this is the first I've heard about FC2 coming out... The first one was a blast, so I'll most likely get the second one, two

[Beezle_Boss]

Ive never played Far Cry 1 but I keep hearing it was a successful game. I've just recently seen the demo for Far Cry 2 and it looks really fun and interactive. If you haven't watched the demo highly recommend people to watch it to get an idea of what the game play will be like.

Just watched it. Looks pretty intense. Can't wait.

Wow. -1 respect unless this is some inside joke I'm missing out on.

The game does look incredible though. Very open (and huge) environments, unique and creative gameplay (like pulling bullets out of your thigh, torching fields to strategically hold your enemies off etc), gorgeous looking graphics...I personally can't wait

Hopefully he is just excited to burn anything down to the ground. I would be too. I don't however care if it is Africa, Canada, Russia, or especially the French region of Belgium where I live, it would do wonders for the trash and polution.

Far Cry, was made by Crytek, Far Cry 2, is being made by Ubisoft themselves. Crytek is not being involved in Far Cry 2, thus the CryEngine (what was being used on Far Cry) will not be used. Instead they've created their own engine. So you can't blame them if it end's up like Crysis.

[hitchface]

I stand corrected. I am amazed that Crytek let them get away with that. I just saw the gameplay demo...looks pretty darn nice. I'll probably not use the flamethrower a ton on guys though...it gets to a point where it is sick because your enemies are so human.

[The Village Idiot]

Well, there's not a lot Crytek can do, Ubisoft hold the license to the Far Cry name, just like the publisher held the name to Operation Flashpoint, making the developer unable to produce a sequel.

No no dude thats not what i meant, I meant to say I thought it was kwl how you can start a fire and it keeps spreading. Im not a African hater Im actually planning a to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro this summer.

[Beezle_Boss]

I think that Ubisoft is gonna pull through with it and bring out a kick ass game.

In their demo trailer they said it was a custom engine

i already have mine pre ordered it comes out on pc march 25th i had $50 still on a gamestop card and i usually dont buy pc games there cause their pc game selection sux... but i was picking up a few ps3 games and thought what the hell i will use my gc and reserve myself fc2 dunno when the console is supposed to come out.... guy at the store said q4 08 to q1 09.... but he wasnt too sure on those estimations either. the game it self is supposed to be amazing and supposably isnt going to be as demanding as crysis seeing how they are making it for consoles here in the near future
