Looks so eh. Yes, parachute into a bunch of enemies ALREADY SHOOTING AT YOU. The animals look to be a bore. The weapons have no recoil, what so ever. Let me guess, respawning enemies from inside buildings when you get to the guy's 'secret army'. Beh. I liked Far Cry 2 for what it was, but they pooped all over this one. Shame, the graphics look nice. Lots of colour too it.
it looks like it has a lot of content inside it, great that it doesn't look (that much) like a linear campaign anymore
Looks very cowadooty with the combat, but it could be pretty cool, especially if they've got some nice features. The fire in FC2 was amazing, for example. On the bright side, the sliding and stuff could be cool, and it's actually taking advantage of the fact we have a colour spectrum, not just shades of blue / brown.

[QUOTE=zeldar;37748731]GJ, Far Cry 2 had all of those features you're complaining about.[/QUOTE] For what it was, I hated the respawning enemies, and the endless amount of pinpoint accuracy they had, and had eyes on the back of their heads at day time and night time. I could say that both games look, and are horrible, but I've yet to play Far Cry 3. I don't plan too unless it's in the bargain bin.

[QUOTE=simkas;37749065]The fuck you talking about, this looks just like Far Cry 2 but better in every way a game can be good.[/QUOTE] All from what I can gather, they're only doing the 'action action flashy explosion' shit to appeal to little kids that want CoD. They could have made a better trailer, shit, people in a grade 10 commstech class could make better, provided they had the footage, either than just relentless bullshit, shooting here, shooting there. There is no survival in the Far Cry games, and there won't be in this one either. They could make mini-games as for hunting, and gathering supplies, making small amour out of hide. Could have added minor details like that, or you could steal armor from the guys secret armor, to help blend in, or sneak into a place, and silently kill people. How you obtained the armor is up to you. After awhile they'd gain suspicion of what you were doing. There is so much they could have done, and from what I see, all they want to do is appeal to the CoD audience. Disagree or call it dumb, that's what I'm seeing in these recent trailers for all shoot em up games.
Far Cry 3 is going to be an action game, not a survival game or whatever else. I thought we already knew this. Shooting lots of people and explosions and shit is what the second was about.
i REALLY like this new far cry becouse its more "explosive" and the ambients look rad as hell

[QUOTE=SatansSin;37749372]even in the video it shows him shooting animals I don't get it, are you trying to be blatantly ignorant?[/QUOTE] Uh, none of that implies anything about it being a survival focused game, what the hell are you talking about? Not being shot is still survival in a way.
[QUOTE=SatansSin;37749372]even in the video it shows him shooting animals I don't get it, are you trying to be blatantly ignorant?[/QUOTE] Killing animals as well as people doesn't change the genre
it has dubstep in the trailer, clearly bad game.
This definitely looks better than Far Cry 2, which I enjoyed playing anyway. Too bad it's going to cost a fuckton on release, wonder if the multiplayer playerbase will die in less than a month just like FC2
brek all da rulez!

Must be cock of dootie. No. This game is about playing an action movie through the protagonists eyes. No game in the far cry series has been about survival, it's been a shoot the natives and mercs up since the beginning. I mean hell, in 2, you fucking pull shrapnel and bullets and even re-bar out of your body to heal up. There's no need for mini-games, that shit is just arcady and doesn't fit in to the farcry world. COD is a shooty da bad guy up game that lets you play extremely exaggerated special forces encounters. The fact that it is exaggerated ties in with the blown out of proportion action that is in movies, which is the theme for farcry.
I just hope the multiplayer is good, and it doesn't look to be. Killstreaks, a variety of abilities and buffs, killcams. A shame really, I enjoyed LANing FC2 a lot.
Farcry has always been an action game guys and it looks like Ubi gathered all of the cool little features they picked up in the past and smashed em all into this lush green arcady pearly beach shooter. It'll be fun no doubt.
Oh god my worst fear has come true. Violent fucking sharks in open water.
[QUOTE=MetalGear;37775289]Oh god my worst fear has come true. Violent fucking sharks in open water.[/QUOTE] I can empathize with you there. Terrifying.
This looks really neat, although the combat does seem very COD-like. I hope there's a demo so I can try it out first. Perhaps the COD combat will work really well in this game.
God the voice over is so boring.
I'm getting tired of people deciding you can't do an action game because cawadoody. Far Cry has always been like that and quite frankly I prefer that kind of shooter to Crysis the bush hiding simulator.
