I am lost... Farcry 2 just randomly appeared.

K... story line better not suxor... Voice acting better not suxor... Checkpoints better not suxor (I did beat the game on realistic but I ripped all my hair off my head)

Does anyone know information on farcry 2??? IS it following up on the console versions of Farcry or Farcry PC?

nvm this game from what I hear will be PC only. Now I want to know what engine will it use

It has to be a followup on the consoles, and PC already has Crysis which is basicly a future setting of Far Cry with the nano suit replacing Predator abilities.

Ubisoft isn't stupid, they know how much money they could make with an xbox 360 version. As far as playstation goes, PS3 is a P.O.S, and I could care less about it.

No I'm not wrong, if you see that there's a sequel version of FarCry Instincts on Xbox which is named with an addition name 'Evolution' at the end and FarCry Instincts has the same storyline as FarCry on PC, just that you're drugged. And you have the same abilities as the nano suit in which you can make a power punch, jump higher than an average human, and run really fast.
I know the nano suit will have camouflauge and the Predator abilities have night vision and sense of smell but I believe that both games are going to be the same if using the same CryEngine (Since FarCry was developed by CryTek on PC and Instincts on Xbox) but a different setting, characters and time era.

They should have checkpoints but also let use quick save. Voice acting wasn't that bad in Far Cry. Story could use a bit more work.

On the console versions, there were checkpoints. I'm sure that FarCry 2 would have checkpoints, sometimes saving just adds memory and a way to accidently get killed every time you load on that save.
Other than that, I believe that people would save if they were out of the map.

I would be very suprised if they used the same generation of the CryEngine.

When UBI acquired the remaining IPR for FC at GDC 2006, they also agreed a perpetual license for use of the Far Cry edition of CryEngine1 to develop their games.
From the wording of the press release it is unclear if they have the rights to modify the Engine itself.

UBISOFT ACQUIRES ALL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS FOR FAR CRY AND WILL TAKE THE FAR CRY EDITION OF THE CRY ENGINE TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Paris, FRANCE – March 9, 2006 – Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s leading video game publishers, announced that it acquired all the remaining intellectual property rights related to the Far Cry property as well as a perpetual license to use the CryENGINE Far Cry Edition.

Under the terms of the agreement Ubisoft is granted an exclusive worldwide perpetual assignment of all property and Intellectual Property rights of the Far Cry brand, including characters, likenesses, copyrights and environmental settings. Ubisoft is thus free to develop and publish sequels, add-ons, derivative and merchandising products on any format for its full benefit.

In addition to the brand in itself, Ubisoft, its subsidiaries and affiliated companies have the license to use the Far Cry Edition of CryENGINE to develop, sell and distribute an unlimited number of video games. This provides another own production pipeline for the company. Ubisoft’s internationally renowned development teams look forward to taking this engine to the next level.

“Far Cry is one of Ubisoft’s most successful brands and this agreement is one further step in our strategy to constantly enrich our catalogue of fully owned brands. With Far Cry, we look forward to further consolidating our leading position in the first person shooters genre” said Yves Guillemot, President & CEO of Ubisoft Entertainment.

So whether they use CryEngine1 or a modified version of it, it seems unlikly that they are using the CryEngine2...

Still wrong, because Far Cry and Far Cry instincts doesn't have the same storyline, because in farcry Doyle dies and in farcry instincts not.
By the way you also get drugged in far cry but it didn't effect the gameplay.

I'm almost sure they're using CryEngine 2. After all, since Epic Games is selling their product Unreal Engine 3.0 to a lot of game developers, I'm pretty sure that CryTek did the same but not as profitable as Epic Games since they were much more early.
But if Ubisoft is going to modify the game, it's going to end up a lot like Splinter Cell that uses Unreal Engine 2.0, preferably going to end up like Chaos Theory and Double Agent.

But remember, that quote was set a year ago, which means the rights they owned of FarCry to develop Evolution, Predator and Vengeance. But Vengeance just went the wrong way on graphics and glitches. I have doubts on the sequel.

Let's just wait and see, since Ubisoft have a lot of titles on their hands (Especially as publisher).

No I'm NOT wrong. Doyle dies on FarCry Instincts Evolution, in which also Jack gets his hands on a different girl. There's a different villian, more of a Native. But on Instincts, the villian is "Richard Crowe" and at the end, he's onfoot and more powerful than you think.
It has a SIMILAR storyline between Instincts and the PC version, Instincts should be a port but this time you were experimented and the drugs was active. Don't jump the gun and say I'm wrong in a splitsecond. And the console version is more latest...

HEY, I totally agree good call on the ps3, now only if sony would see that.

FARCRY ON PSP

Is not Crytek in sole ownership of CryEngine2, which is the Crysis engine? I could see maybe Ubi tweaking CryEngine1 a bit, but I seriously doubt they could wind up anywhere near the state of CryEngine2 by it.

Are there even any decent screenshots or trailers of any Far Cry 2 content yet? I assume we'll have to wait until at least the October issue of PC Gamer for that.

hahaha funny not!!!!
ps3 is way better then the 360.
it is just taking time for the developers to get the technology down pat for the ps3.
the game for the ps3 are only running at 40% of the reall power.
so they have another 60% left to discover their true talents.
it is going to be at 100% with in 2 years.
that is the information i got from g4.
so now the 360 has been and always will be at 100 % power.
that leaves no room for improvement.
so you are getting what you get with the 360.
and the 360 sux anyway's
so did the first one.
i don't know anyone who owns an xbox or a 360.
they used to until they bought a ps3.
then they just threw the 360 in the garbage.
because they seen it sucked.
so don't be knocking on the ps3 because you can't afford one.

Riiight.

Please guys no console fanboy flaming, cause we all know PC's own both of them

-=F&B=- Achilles

Atari 2600 was better than Colecovision
Spectrum was better than a Commodore 64 but not as good as Oric
MSX ruled over the Amstrad/Atari 8bits
NES was better than the SegaMaster System.
SNES was better than Sega Megadrive
Gameboy was better than the Game Gear
Amiga was better then a Atari ST
PS1 was better than Sega Saturn but not as good as the Dreamcast
PS2 was better than the Xbox
Xbox360 vs PS3 who really cares
Macs never ruled over PCs
Therefore PCs rule everything

Anything I missed was worth not metioning, just like my post

There we go, history of X vs Y all read in 60 seconds, NOW BACK TO FARCRY 2!!!!!!!!!

actually there are some leaked images of FC2 scanned from a German magazine...a little small...but AWESOME GRAPHICS!!!!!

well i must agree with you about the pc being better. but for people who do not know how to upgrade nor do they have the money to.
console is a better choice.
and i was just expressing my thought to him about his worthless remarks about the ps3 because he cannot afford one.
so in that note i will say i am done talking about it.
now as for the farcry2 game i wish they would put out screenies.
there is nothing on this game, i didn't even know about it until i seen the farcry site has been shut down.
so when are we going to see some more about this game?
