From the preview by Xbox World 360:
"Although the game's a giant sandbox it's not all open from the start. The second half of the map is unlocked after twelve missions, and will be much darker than the first half. Once open, you'll be able to hop between the two worlds at will. The malaria hallucinations and combat 'freak out' sections both hint towards the protagonists' decent into madness, and having seen some concept artwork we're quietly confident that the latter part of the game is going to be genuinely creepy and full of scares, without resorting to the old 'trapped in a dark cellar with a mad zombie' ruse."
"We've admittedly only got down and dirty with the PC version so far, but after questioning the producer about the 360 conversion he said something quite magical: 'It's the same game. It will be the same.' Superb."
If you’re new to this long-running franchise, we’ve got you covered.
2 and 3, pretty much the only ones i really enjoyed. 1 was amazing for the time but aged quite poorly. 4 has the elephant gun, all i can praise from any entry after 3 lol
Ummmm 3 than stop.
Okay maybe two as well. But yeah probably 3 and then move on.
Far Cry 2. People constantly rant about games now being too easy, holding your hand, having too many unnecessary RPG-lite leveling features, etc. People specifically complain about open world games being too focused on tons of collectibles and "checkmarks" that just waste time.
Far Cry 2 is an answer to all of those complaints. It was made by Ubisoft before they fell into all the traps discussed above (and before they started inserting towers into their games to defog the map). It has respawning enemies, weapons that degrade, and the collectible diamonds are very useful in the game (which you find in a similar way to the way you find shrines in BOTW with a radar system). The map you have is an in game item you pull out while playing, not a pause menu that is unnecessarily detailed. Also the enemy AI and physics are much better than later entries in the series.
It has a mixed reputation because people at the time said it was too hard, the weapon degradation was annoying, and then respawning enemies were annoying. FC2 came out in 2008, so this was before games like Dark Souls and BOTW had come out and made it cool to like these types of features.
GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
The Far Cry series’ best game – not Far Cry 6 – just got more brutal and realistic thanks a mod than revamps and remakes the classic Ubisoft open-world FPS
Far Cry 2 where your guns never ever jammed until you got into a gunfight is their best? I disagree.
Far Cry 2 may certainly not be the most "fun" game in the series but from a narrative standpoint it definitely is the most interesting of the bunch. FC2 couldn't be further away from the pointless fragfests that the following episodes turned out to be.
"Everything about all-new Far Cry screams quality, and the team is so passionate about their product that it simply cannot fail. Our only concern is whether or not the 360 can handle it. We don't want a scaled down version; we want the same load-free eye-porn"
exactly my concern (but with PS3), think im gonna have to go with the PC version.
Never was able to fully enjoy the PC version , well because my PC had sucked, but I'll save money and get the 360 version. Shooters always feel right with the 360 controller.
PC = Xbox 360 in terms or architecture/ported code so no worries. Not sure about PS3 tho.
As far as some getting PC versions of games, it's kinda ludacris since we all know PC versions of games (given you have the capability to run them Max) will always give the better Quality experience. Consoles will always be Consoles, as well as cheaper.
to above...
keyboard and mouse is far superior to the controller for shooters. ill be getting the PC version...and probably a dx10 video card to see this game in all its beauty. it sounds like a lot of fun.
sounds awesome, that really long demo video that didnt have good quality resolution looked insane. hopefully they can say the same about the ps3 version cuz thats the one ill probly end up buyin
Awesome, looking forward 2 some gameplay footage
