Multiplat Far Cry 3

[HBK619]

Bucket loads of new details for this damn hard to find thread...

Picking out the interesting tidbits below.

Source: http://gamingeverything.com/15192/tons-of-new-far-cry-3-details/

- Open-ended combat
- Plan bouts with enemies well before you face off
- You may decide to charge in for a frontal attack, hang back and snipe enemies from a distance, or place C4 on the side of a jeep and send it to an enemy encampment
- Freedom is tied to the story
- Unlike Far Cry 2′s “hard-edged political cynicism”, Far Cry 3 is “a focus on the personal, charting one man’s spiral into violence, and quite possibly madness, on an archipelago where everyone else seems to have a head start”
- Players will have to contend with native fauna and domesticated animals
- Ubisoft is making the game with a “360 degree” design approach
- Each scenario will contain “stealthy, action-focused and creative approaches”
- There are sharks circling floating bodies after there is an explosion in the ship mission
- No weapon degradation

So it looks like the game will be more open than Far Cry 2. FC2 definitely tried to be open in it's strategy designs but was let down by the 'instant found' AI...you could kind of cheat it at times, but eventually the battles would just turn into firefights.

No weapon degradation is interesting. I don't know if I like that or not. I liked having to upgrade the weapons and making sure they were always perfect. But it was a hassle when they would jam or break mid-fire fight.

Also it's been confirmed that the game engine will be an upgraded version of Far Cry 2's Dunia engine. So hopefully that means plenty more messing with fire.

The flame thrower was fantastic

Travelling in Far Cry 2 was the worst thing about the game (irritated me more than enemies respawning!).

Worst part is trying to find the Far Cry 2 thread to see what it was like as I got the game again and had a go. Spending time searching keywords, etc. only to realise I made the original thread.

Dubstep is the COD of the trailer world.

For mine Syndicate did it best, can't link through phone but they definitely worked it best. I believe they re-mixed the original Syndicate theme with the dub so it kept up with the original stylings and updated gameplay.

Was funny when watching the NFL Blitz dev diaries about how they got a dubstep 'composer' in to do their soundtrack.

 

[Mancey]

Yeah i had the same issue finding the far cry 2 thread.

Think i searched something like "outposts respawn" to eventually nail it down lol

Probably get blocked soon though - looks good - no gameplay, but a good intro movie/backstory

Edit: Seems it's already been taken down haha

Just search for "Far Cry 3" in youtube and sort newest to oldest

Also: September 6 release date

Looks epic.

This one from machinima should stay up

Hey look someone left an AK laying around, lets pose with it. I'm sure whoever owns it on this uncharted island won't mind

 

[Mancey]

Also, i wonder what incredibly subtle plot device they use to explain why this random dude pounding shots in a bar with some friends, is actually a highly trained killer who can throw a knife into your jugular from 30meters away

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

They ended up releasing the trailer like 36 hours early because it got leaked and people kept uploading it haha

Yeah the whole picking up the AK made me lol though, stupid thing to do - and then call the guy a dick/dick-head when walking away

It's obvious Jason Brody is Jack Carver/The Jackal - hence his overly comfortable nature on a tropical island and handling guns

 

[Covvy]

Thought it was a trailer to the new Hangover movie for the start. Even had a Doug in it! Could potentially be an epic story.

I wanted mid-year.

Waiting this long is a crime.

Now that I've seen this CGI trailer and the quality involved, I want this to be the games cutscenes. But I doubt that based on the E3 gameplay.

Guess there won't be another batch of gameplay for a little while yet now. Will be nice to see what they've added/taken away since the E3 showing.

 

[pantskyle]

I feel the same HBK. Massive anticipation for this. I ****ing loved FC2.

IGN Preview:

[Mancey]

Bad guys always make the error of leaving too many explosive barrels laying around.

Bad Guy #1: Hey Hans, i need some materials to form a barricade for my men to use as cover

Bad Guy #2: No worries Sven, here take these red 44 gallon drums filled with highly explosive liquid

Bad Guy #1: Cool!

Only worry about that IGN preview was the comment that they responded to criticism about the vast open spaces in FC2. If they removed too much of the open world feel they will severely kill a lot of the games character imo

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Yeah I'm with you - loved the huge, open spaces in Far Cry 2, but the relentless and constantly respawning enemy really put a damper on it

If the enemy couldn't detect you as well as it could and they didn't respawn as often it wouldn't have been so bad haha

Still, looks damn good (FC3)

They've said before that the world is either 5 times or double the size of FC2 (I can't remember which one). So I doubt that the open-ness will be gone.

Will likely just be more things to do in between the open areas.

Hopefully a territory system similar to an inFAMOUS can be utilised to stop that constant respawning of enemy outposts (which by the sounds of the interview on IGN that will be used).

Also, this is looking ****en amazing graphically. Got a really nice vibrant art style. And glad they've taken that XP points popping up over their head out and moved it off to the side, was a terrible choice in the first place.

 

[Premiers04]

Games looking nice, loved the 1st Far Cry couldnt get into the 2nd (will give it another go seeing as its free on PSN)

and i ****ing loathe Dubstep, what a ******ed genre of music, ruined the teaser trailer for me

What a weird video. Not a fan of the voice of the main character, nor his tattoos...

A lot of burning buildings in gaming nowadays...

I like the idea of using your gun in other ways than putting bullets into people.

Graphics look fantastic still.

Interesting, game looks really good thus far.

Why does every game these days have to be so scripted? So many times in that footage your relegated to sitting back and watching.
