Far Cry Set to Get Xbox 360 and PS3 HD Reboot

Far Cry 3 was a huge success, bringing new gamers into the franchise, some of which haven’t played the previous titles. Well, those people are in luck because the first installment in the Far Cry series is getting revitalized in HD.

Cool beans. I was tempted to pick up Instincts Predator but often saw others claim it was lackluster. To those who've played all the main ones: where does Far Cry rank iyo?

BiggCMan3982d ago

It's a REALLY different game from what people know of 2 and 3, but in a good way. It aged well also, meaning it still looks nice for 2004, and plays just as good as anything today. I can't remember much of the story though.

Far Cry Instincts is better than the original. The only thing the original had going for it was open ended levels.

"Far Cry Instincts is better than the original."

First time I've seen (or heard) that statement.

You kidding right? the first Far Cry for PC is pretty amazing, even with the tech back then.

Plagasx3982d ago (Edited 3982d ago )

Lol I remember trying to run it with an nvidia FX5200 back in 2004..

hulk_bash19873982d ago

I think Servbot has encountered an error.

Muffins12233982d ago

Cant you already get it in HD for pc?

BiggCMan3982d ago

Basically, I imagine this will look about the same as the PC version on high settings since it's from 2004. Sad thing is it may not even be in 1080p at 60 frames, something really old PC hardware is capable of doing.

ginsunuva3982d ago

probably updated textures too

DarkBlood3982d ago

nice that was the only far cry i played back then, was pretty awesome with the create your own levels and playing with my cousins back then

Skate-AK3982d ago

You learn something new every day. I thought Far Cry Instincts was the first Far Cry.

spicelicka3982d ago

Nope it was a much different game. Original Far cry was more like Crysis 1 with an open world, I think some of the developers were the same too. Instincts was more like crysis 2, not open world but still nice big levels.

Skate-AK3982d ago

Sounds like a purchase to me.

Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."

Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

At this point, only dummies have any hope left for Ubi-junk games.

Far Cry Villains To Appear In A New Comic

This is interesting news for comic and Far Cry fans as something new in the universe for the game is always welcome. Villains from popular Far Cry games are transported into prehistoric times by the priestess Batari, who has pulled them from their lives before they've committed their most heinous crimes.

Why do they make every f****** thing goofier and goofier

Watch Dogs become whacky, Assassins Creed jumped the shark, Ghost Recon become less serious now this

I think it is the trend. They look around and say ok; what can be done that will not infringe upon the next game and this is what happens. I heard rumors of the next Far Cry offering may be in Alaska and there was also an Online offering coming. So we get this to tide us over.
