Far Cry 3 Insane Edition Gets Crazy

​

The trailer for the Far Cry 3 Insane Edition is a beautiful sweetheart, but completely nuts.

It's no surprise that a special collector's edition of Far Cry 3 is in the works. What is a little surprising is the need for an age rating on the announcement video. I don't think I've ever seen a collector's edition reveal trailer quite like this one.

As awesome as it is, the video isn't entirely clear about what's on offer in the Far Cry 3 Insane Edition, so here's the full lowdown [http://far-cry.ubi.com/far-cry-3/en-GB/order-now/]. You get "Survival Kit" packaging, an island survival guide, nearly two hours of exclusive content including three single-player missions and the pièce de résistance, an "Insane Vaas Wahine," created by a "deranged mind who decapitated a beautiful wahine to put his own head on it."

I would absolutely pay extra for this, but the bad news [https://twitter.com/Ubisoft/statuses/205221296706039808] is that at this point, it's only slated for a European release. Ubisoft hasn't said anything about plans for a North American release [at least, not that I've noticed], but my fingers are crossed. I mean, look at her. Look how beautiful she looks.

What, you don't think she looks beautiful?

Far Cry 3 [http://www.amazon.com/Far-Cry-3-Playstation/dp/B0050SXX88/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337789852&sr=8-1] comes out on September 4 in North America and September 6 in Europe for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

So how many different collectors' editions are there going to be? Do you need to buy several different editions to get everything?

I still remember Assassin's Creed...

That sounds like Cartman doing his Jennifer Lopez impersonation.

I like tacos, and I like burritos.

... Did I just get shot by a reveal trailer?

Anyway... Somehow I think I'll be giving this particular special edition a miss...

If this gets a North American release and comes in at under 100 bucks, I am in.

I am ashamed, but I am in.

Just a thought, why do they spend more money promoting the promotion than the atcual promotion? I mean, I would rather have a shitty "trailer" or annoucement of the contents and then have a really brillaint game edtion. I don't know, just thought that they would've given something better.

It's only 10? (around 15$) more then normal edition, if you pre order the normal edition now you get the DLC free too, hmmmm.... Need to do some thinking.

I...what? I mean seriously, what on earth did I just watch? When did special editions start getting their own (bizarre) release trailers anyway?

Nice to see that Europe actually gets something that the US doesn't (for now), makes a nice change from other pre-order bonuses we've no chance of getting/competitions we can never enter. Hurrah!

Hah, that guy is such an awesome character Here's thinking he'll be generating his fair share of memes once the game comes out...

Memes? Yes, most likely. Good character? Not so sure yet....

On topic: Mmm, a trailer made especially to promote a special edition seems a bit excessive. Particularly when the "special" edition doesn't seem so remarkable.
