Far Cry 3 Confirmed

[KissofKetchup]

Mmmmm, hopefully FC3 will be on the new CryEngine. Hawt. Can't wait to put my PC through the paces!

Unlikely, it's not going to be developed by CryTek

Does the Escapist get all its news from CVG? I see half the articles on that site a few days beofore the Escapist publishes them then links abck to CVG.

On topic, if its anything like FC2 then no thanks.

Get rid of the annoying ass driving everywhere, ditch the faction system where BOTH factions want to kill you all the time, get rid of the respawning checkpoints, get rid of the repetitive missions, bring in other creatures than just zebras and it will be a great game.

I actually really liked FC2, so I've got high hopes!

Same here, I just hope they fix the flaws of it's predecessor.

What flaws would that be?

I love it, its in my top 3 games ever, I hated the respawning guard sites but after a while if you work around them I found it great fun traipsing cross country!.

Maybe with a little luck they'll go back to the original Farcry format, with all the awesome badass-ery and super powers.

If they have a gorgeous open world, tense gunplay, and strong writing like in Far Cry 2, and add a better story with more dynamic AI (and maybe co-op play), I'm sold.

That was one of the things I was saying. "If Far Cry 2 had online co-op and improve the AI a bit, it would be so much more interesting"

Well if they improve on Far Cry 2 as much as they improved on Assassin's Creed, this could warrant for quite an awesome sequel. FC2 had pretty much the same problems as AC, and AC2 fixed pretty much all major gameplay problems, so I hope Ubisoft will do the same with the Far Cry franchise.

Ya know, I never quite thought of it like that. Now I see. And have very high hopes

ya know, neither did i. couldnt stand far cry 2 so if they do fix the problems it had (the MANY problems it had), then it could be an awesome game. thankfully this is the same studio that made as1 and 2 if im not mistaken so thats a good sign. still, im not getting my hopes up.

It's in my top 3 as well.

Here would be the things I'd fix:

-Better story, the Jackal was a cool character but they barely used him at all. They could also expand more on the immorality of mercenaries and war and the people who get caught in the middle like they tried to do in FC2, but fell short on. This also means giving the factions (If there are any in FC3) more defined personalities and goals.

-More diverse mission types, I want more missions than "Blow 'dis shit up." or "Kill dat dude." I'd like to have missions that can be solved mulitple ways also.

-Fix the "Stealth kills" with the machete, everytime I did one of those the guy would just fall to the floor screaming and alert his buddies in the area, instant and silent kills please.

-Friendly AI, if you are working for one faction they should help you, not try to blow you to Oblivion and back.

-Weapon jamming, make it less frequent.

-Take out the malaria thing, seriously I'm all for giving your character weaknesses to make things challenging but that was just annoying.

-Being saved by buddies, I thought it made things too easy. You should be able to tell them "Come with me." and they could get in the gunner seat of your Jeep or something but if you die you die.

-Doing missions for buddies, what was the point? I really didn't see why I should do mission for them, I did them regardless for the fun.

Thoughts? Anything to add?

Far Cry 2 was utter crap. If they are making a third installment, they could at least listen to the community first and see what they have to say.

Couldn't agree more.

I'm against this, I love the machete, if I want stealth I adapt and use a silenced weaponed, the whole knify knify stealthy types are rubbish since they make a game too easy... I expect a guy to scream when I garotte him

AI, yes please, change and upgrade

Malaria was balls, especially when in a hectic mission and the game over screen comes up.

Buddies, what? they were the greatest thing about that game! (apart from vicious impromptu gun battles), and doing missions for buddies kits out your safe houses, so all round a good point.

the community that isn't going to buy the game?.

How about they listen to whale songs instead?

So that's where that stuff came from!

How about Ubisoft listens to people who don't want to buy the game and see what they have to say, hmm? Maybe, just maybe, the people who don't want to buy another Far Cry know what they're talking about and might actually bring incredibly good improvements.

Like making objectives that are not halfway accross the map, or not make trucks that appear every single fucking second and stop you in your tracks, or boring missions. You know, things like that.

Tho I must say, they did a great job with the editor.

Oh right, yeah when you fulfill a buddy mission you get your safe house stocked up with stuff for you to play with like cars and grenades and bullets, you know the meat of the shooty whizz bang fun.

What? please explain yourself ?

Listen to people who don't want to buy the game?, its not on their list of games to buy, so no.

I agree'd with the stupid mission objective across the map when I first started playing, but it made sense in the long run ... why should a game be easy?, I started planning a mission ahead using the map looking out for guard posts and I had great fun, I admit when I was trying to get a mission over as quickly as I could it sucked .... but that was my fault in trying to rush the thing

 

[ZippyDSMlee]

FC1 was awesome FC2 was generic wank..... lets go back to FC1 plz I want mutants damnit!

I agree to a certain degree. I enjoyed far cry a hell of a lot more then fc2. I just hope they impliment a propper multiplayer on the pc =/ i loved far cry's multiplayer back in the day

FC2 didnt have enough weapons and items and the story tend to repeat itself with filler..... the primis is not bad but without any sci fi elements to lift it up out of the gutter it became stale fast for me 0-o

FC1 was great and even cryisis is a bit better than FC2....

True, then again, CryEngine 3 is middleware, and available for licensing to any and all. So who knows....fingers crossed, imo.

I would guess that it will be on the Dunia engine like FC2, doubt they would put all that effort into making an engine they only use once.

I guarantee that by the time that engine comes out, your computer will be light years out of date.

Okay, with FC2, they definately got the gunplay and basic mechanics of the character down pat (if not the AI and the mission structure). What would be nice is if there was a little bit more in terms of story other then "kill this guy; said guy saves you; everyone else decides to kill you except the leaders who want you to work for them while their respective lackies decide to kill you"
