Far Cry3 on the way 2011?

[Kwod]

I get the feeling it's a q4 release, but could be wrong.
FC2 had so much potential, it didn't need much to be one of the best games of 08 and maybe of all time{FPS}, but was a huge letdown with the feel and movement of the weapons plus a few other things.

Certainly from a GFX and physx POV, it was very good.
FC3 is back to tropical waters, and if they get the quality of the water wrong, then that'll be a major drawback right there.

Great video, Far Cry 2 sucked I wasted $50 on it and played 2 hours max. This however looks fantastic, as long as it plays like the series should none of that respawn crap.

[RejZoR]

Despire carrying the name of some other game franchise i found it intesresting. Might be good unless they fuck up driving again. Or shall i say too much of it. Some made fun of it (FC2) to be a driving simulator lol...

I also felt like the weapons travel path was boxed, almost like it got stuck within a small range when you were firing it.....whatever it was, it annoyed the hell out of me.

Can't say I had a problem with the driving......

[Funtoss]

I really wonder how the gameplay and graphics are gonna be like O.o

[erixx]

easy question: same, just slightly better graphics, new weapons, same old enemy AI (JUST AS ALL OTHER GAMES, ZZZ) If you like it, it is ok

Well he is probably refering to the fact that you had to drive 20 mins to one location just to kill 2 guys then drive 20 mins back, all while having to kill 200 respawned enemies along the way.

It was annoying and it soon became a game breaker for me at about 45% of game progress. Never finished it and that's something I can only say about 2 games (FC2, Wolfenstein, the last one) out of dozens if not hundreds that I've played and maybe a 3rd if I can't gather enough wishdom to sit and play Crysis 2 again.

oh I C, I thought he meant driving mechanics.
Yep....that aspect definitely sucked, and it's a shame as they had so much in place that a great game was only a few corrections away.

[RejZoR]

Yeah, ppl were all complaining about driving 50 kilometers just to get killed in some stupid way and repeat the whole thing. Or driving kilometers away just to kill someone and get the whole distance back.

I loved walking or riding the horse in TES Oblivion but sometimes there are just moments when you just want to get over with the mission. Usually when you fail few times and it becomes frustrating.
It should really autosave when you get close to the mission location. This way you sort of enjoy the driving while it doesn't get frustrating when you get killed.

I didn't like to walk or ride everywhere, although I didn't like the fast-travel thing either. It was so much better and realistic in Morrowind: striders, boats, etc. Having to walk and find places was nice, but having a shortcut that you pay for was also a nice touch.

Though my favourite travel method in Morrowind was a huge ammount of fortify strengh + fortify jump + fortify speed >> jump to the other side of the island >> levitate for 1 sec just before touching the floor. That really made you feel like a legendary figure in Nirn.

As for horses, I never really used them in Oblivion. I didn't like the fact that you have to dismount in order to fight. It was so much better and faster to drink or cast a fortify speed/athletics spell on yourself... (or several, 255 speed+athletics ftw)
Shame on bethesda for not including the jump spell in Olivion.

It should really autosave when you get close to the mission location. This way you sort of enjoy the driving while it doesn't get frustrating when you get killed.

Yeah that's true, I stopped playing but I always thought that would have been fixed in some patch later on? That is not the case even today?

EDIT: I realised I didn't comment on OP. Well I think I like the game a lot. Of all the announcements and trailers/demos it's probably the one that looked more interesting to me. I didn't like the scripted thing about the knife tho, too much scripting, no skills, consolitis. It would be Ok if you had to at least control the man by holing some key while having to aim in order to throw the knife to the second one or something. I suppose you know what I'm talking about.

EDIT2: btw in relation to FC2 gameplay and the guy in FC3 video... Did I tell you the definition of insanity? Insanity is to keep playing FC2.

Hope its better than riding around getting shot by random Africans that do not know who you are but really want to kill you

[boise49ers]

I enjoyed the crap out of FC2 so I'm really looking forward to this. I loved the size of the map.
I found using the bus was a lot safer then driving thru the jungle.

[horik]

I loved exploring the world of Far Cry,hope this game will give the freedom to move all over the place.I see you can use stealth and take out enemies from distance without stupid alarm being triggered.

'least all they want is to tear you a new one, not eat your brains like the ones in Resident Evil 5

[erixx]

Player made maps in Fc1 and Fc2 also were many times big fun times!!! Very easy for a noob to make maps, also.

[Bjorn_Of_Iceland]

If farcry 2 didnt respawn enemies everytime after 3 minutes, and hunt you down in every checkpoint (which are conveniently placed in every friggin street corner), It shouldve been a good game imo.

[Mindweaver]

Do you know the definition of crazy??? hehehe It's not wanting to get this game! hehehe That trailor is awesome! The website is up here!

[erocker]

It should be clear what Far Cry 2's shortcomings were. If they can improve on those, it should be a good game. I liked Far Cry 2.. other than the issues that have been covered here already.

Will the GFX go backwards?.....this time we may have better environments, but they're gonna suck if they drop the gfx quality, also, will they omit propagating fire...

If that gameplay trailer was played on an xbox, I believe the PC version will be at least 2x better. Doubt they'de drop the fire effects. It added much realism the game. Nothing beats a molotov in the middle of the jungle

Hi

Looks like another generic consoltard port is on the way; looking at the footage having to press "A" fifty times to break the ropes that bind your hands; well is this game play and the introduction of xp points whenever you shoot someone is a spoiler for me, explicit language to boot; Why; is this just for ratings or getting a 18 cert.

Let's hope so, as FoVegas went back to 2006 on us graphically.

Most likely, but if they get the shooting part right{the most important part of a strict FPS}, and the gfx are decent, then it could make for some fun, but I'd be very surprised if this was one of the better games of the yr.

Tried using the free public transport (buses that go to the edges and center of the maps, from where a buggy will take you to your destination in a couple of minutes)?

[Kwod]

I'm playing FONewVegas atm, and if the weapons could be basically as good as those with some hires textures, I'd be happy with the shooting.
