Ubisoft talks Far Cry 3 and more |

Before even claiming our luggage at the airport in Africa, Ubisoft has hinted that Far Cry 3 is in the making. More satisfactorily than exciting though, since we don’t even know if Far Cry 2 is any good. We hope and believe it’s going to be shockingly awesome, but there’s simply no way to tell before it’s released.
In an interview with play.tm, Ubisoft producer Louis-Pierre Pharand gave some info about the sequel’s sequel. “There are two ways of development. Either you come out rapidly with another one, not adding a lot of features. Doing a “2.5″ type game. A lot of fans enjoy that - its been mocked-up in the same way as the sports game model,” he said.
“For me, its the Call of Duty model. Take numbers two and four, great. Number three however…. however, I hope number 5 will be good! You make a great game; if there’s a decision on Far Cry 3 - I’m sure there will be a Far Cry 3 - there’s no reason why there wouldn’t be. I’m not going to lie and say ‘I don’t know if there will be a Far Cry 3.’ There will be a Far Cry 3, I don’t when. Two or four years… I don’t know.” Pharand continued.
Seriously, we’re getting a bit tired of the “2,5″ games. If all you’re going to do is change the setting and story ,call it an expansion for god’s sake. Is an upgraded (or re-built) graphics engine too much to ask for?
The expectations for Far Cry 2 are currently enormous. The African setting is a forgotten chapter in the gaming history and something tells me Ubisoft is going to nail it perfectly. Here’s a quote for possible doubters out there: “I actually get messages on Facebook; guys from Africa saying the game looks exactly like my home. This is a great compliment.”
Yes, Pharand. Yes it is.

Yeah, it was a very good job. It has some imperfections but overall the quality is great.
Although I don’t envy the guys who’ve said the game looks like their home.

Love Far Cry 2 but the whole lobby system sux. can’t hook up with frends and play as a party. Wouldn’t hurt to borrow ideas from cod or R 2. Plz work on mutiplayer cuz thats where games get their longevity from. More game modes too. Other than these couple things, other games should be looking at what Far Cry has to offer; in terms as bettering their own games. Still love Far Cry.

I liked farcry2, but wish it had sum of the 1st farcry games “toy’s” like the powerboat with the duel guns for the driver to shoot…the ZIP lines from place to place…the hummer’s…the big truck that could haul more then 3 ppl… if there is a farcry 3, im hopeing it will have more upgraded weapons, better trucks/car’s…hope in the storyline of the game that when you clear a “post” that the gards wont come back…it gets kinda annoying when drive an u have to keep killing the same ppl over an over… add more things in the mulityplayer map editor… maybe a tank or two wouldnt hurt to place in there… maybe uping the amount of car’s/trucks that you can add to a map..large maps place like 20 car’s/trucks…med with like 12-15…an small with 6…just sum random idea’s here is all….and maybe it would be nice to keep your rank in the unranked matches….or letting ppl add an host there own maps in the “ranked” matches….wold make things alot more interresting……how ever…i love the farcry games…keep up the AWESOME work UBI….

The thing that completely destroyed Far Cry 2 is the story. I want to have the predator abilities again! Not some boring story about conflict APR and UFLL. I mean the game is excellent with the realism but the story is just plain boring. Where’s Jack Carver?

I love this game. I have never played anything like it. It is a setting that I have never played and its fun. It reminds me of grand theft auto or mercanaries. Hope that fc3 stays in africa. They should add more cars and if you park your car in front of your hous it should save and stay there intill yyou take it, like the gun cases.

i loved far cry 2. i didn’t like the game engine of instincts, but i definitely wanted feral abilities in this one; traps would have been cool too. but if they never bring feral abilities back, i really wouldn’t mind. i want to find a blog that with the developers and see what they have to say. there were several small things in fc2 that could have made gameplay better; simple things like when driving make me able to quick center forward by clicking the left stick, and when i click the right stick, to quick look over my shoulder while driving, let me look around slightly while holding the stick down. swimming needed some work. and the ability to sneak around just wasn’t there, and more than just the glitch that let the snipers see you crouched in heavy brush, behind a rock from 100 yards away. and i hated getting shot by a buy who was running up a hill away from me facing the other way.

Love the game, bring on FC3. Great multiplayer, where you can withstand a couple of shots to the body and recover if your’E quick. Headshot - your gone. As opposed to COD where you die before the bullet has left your opponents weapon.

Tell you the truth theres so much to explain about Far Cry 2, and what can be improved, and what a beutiful game, just gorgeous! What really disoppointed me, is that this is africa, where is all the animals?? yea.. yea.. so you see a few deers here and there theres a few others, but where’s the giraffs, elefants, lions, the essential animals that make up africa, i hope the next version will substitute to that!

Far Cry 2 is far superior to Fc1. It was a great game to play at all levels. I did not mind the often complained ‘driving parts’ it fitted in with the scope of the maps. Please! Do not go back to monsters, people as enemies offers so much credibility to the plot and game play - Super enemies are a pain in the neck [or any other part of the body you want to name]. The game needs to do a little more work on the ‘kite’ flying - it is no where near as good as in Fc1. Allover - Great! Great!

I’m South African living in United Kingdom and playing Far Cry 2, I have to say it is absolutely awesome it reminds me of home so much you guys and girls at Ubisoft hit the nail on the head with this, one the graphics the sounds and game play, I give it 100 out of 10. I really do look forward to a Far Cry 3 and hoping there will be more guns to choose from. Keep up the awesome work.

hope the new far cry has a multi-player split-screan option or anything close. to play with friends on your own maps. it`s useles to make a map on FC2 if you only can play alone

far cry 2 was pretty cool having a variety of weapons and the african setting. although not being able to have either the ufll or apr on your side was waste of working for them.for online it would be awesome if you got to choose 2 primary weapons.also assault weapons should have benn able to have scopes .and like tomas said their should have been co-op story mode making the game even better. the health system 4 the game was wack. also there were people shooting at me looking the other direction. i hated that the A.I were beastmode with mortars . but to give pros i love yhe fact that the enemy had instincts and made them seem human rather than a.i and how realistic the game was. for fc3 the setting should be middle east but with civillians in the mix and to have a military that favors yourself . very violent very gory very successful
