OT: but ^^^^ he did it first.

No he didn't...

Back on topic:
You can let us know stuff like the FC2 budget, whether or not anyone in the Team worked on FC1 material, if yes then what. Prolly should do a short bio of each team member for the 2nd installment. Make sure you show the CM's also just incase I have to come lookn for the guy who's in charge in person. lol

Uh oh Rizno I wouldn't make such threats...back in Rainbow Six Lockdown some of the community members got a bit overzealous and it did not end well.

Good thing this is FC2... Those Tom Clancy noobs don't have anything on the FC community ... as a general rule.. Internet posting should be read in a sarcastic context.

I myself liked Vegas, thought it was a cool game and liked it much better than Graw.

And Cuz tainted my post.. I guess I am headed for a time out then....

I still think bios and formal introductions would be a cool idea :P

LOL Riz, tainted is a bit strong, Im just keeping you and Ice out of hot water, dont want him melting do we

Actually I had to read the above post 3 times b4 I readlised you didnt mean PC BIOS...

Ahahaha flash your BIOS at me CuZ!

Rizno, you're in luck, we've got a few bios coming. Not all the team though, as that would take up pages and pages of the blog. Just a few to start off with.

I heard/read in an interview somewhere, think it was the man, the myth, Pharrand himself.. That there is some Crytek guys working on this game as well as the UBI Montreal guys.. Is there any truth in this Kimi? must admit i would like it to be true..

Also, the idea of a short Bios on the guys and gals working on this is a good 1!

Hey Kimi,

Any chance of a FC2 dev team Web Cam, that we all can view?

A video of the Devs playing Assault Mode and making us excited that you kept that game mode in FC2 Then you will have a lot of ready made clans bursting to play this game

I Want to see Jack carver,Jade,and of course Doyle(make him mutated if you guys have to,his death was sad). please make the game revolutionary and you guys and girls on the staff must make the game for the xbox 360! I have far cry instincts preatator and love itif possible release alot of concept art for the characters and some of levels. in your dev blog you should ask us what achievements could be cool if far cry 2 becomes a 360 title and please...So us some familiar faces(carver,jade,doyle) thanks for hearing me out keep up the good work and make sure far cry 2 comes out on the 360. good for everyone!!!

Nice to see a foosball table!

You'all need a better one though...

Veg

As an aspiring game developer myself I would love to see you guys working with the software (sandbox? and what ever you use for models) and showing what the different departments do and how it all comes together into a great game.

Thanks,

Only one of the leads worked at UBI before 2004, none picked Far Cry as their favorite game, several did not even pick a shooter as their game of choice. I wonder if any of them actually played Far Cry on a PC. Two of the four are console geeks and LP hasn't played a video game in 13 years.

This does not bode well.

Edit: Please see further explanation below.

Not just me who thought that?
If so was it as a gamer or just for research?
Kimi?

I'll still reserve judgement on the end product, but can understand Coops trepidation...

To the [im]poster above me, who are you and what have you done with Riz?

Of course LP played a game recently. Why, only yesterday I saw him playing at lunch time... he was having a blast playing Barbie Horse Adventures!

p.s. Let's use this thread solely for future blog suggestions rather than feedback of specific blogs. That's what blog comments are for...

Let me clarify, modify and soften my above statements. Obviously I do not believe that LP has not played a game since Duke Nukem (I was assuming he meant the 3D version). But his favorite games are over 10 years old. My statement was hyperbole meant to question the path that the leads have taken to get to FC2 with respect to what they themselves play. I have never met these people and my remarks were a bit coldhearted.

I first played Far Cry a few months after it came out and I still play often. I can say without reservation that it is my favorite game of all time (From the days of the Radio Shack Color Computer). I wanted to see that kind of passion in the dev team. And I am sure they are passionate about their work, but the brief bios do not convey the impression that the leads are fanatical about capturing the essence of the original Far Cry. This is advertising for the next great PC shooter game and the released info on the main players says they are fans of consoles, Civ IV and NHL 1994. My immediate reaction was disappointment. Again, I am sure these are highly competent people who are enthusiastic about their work. Maybe they just need better PR agents.

Let me also state that I am in no way compensated by or employed by Ubisoft. My presence here is voluntary and the powers of moderation I have been granted are at the pleasure of Ubisoft. Anything I say is my own personal opinion and does not reflect the opinion of Ubisoft in any way.

Maybe you could take a lot of questions that we could submit and pick some at random out of a hat and answer them.

another idea could be film random stuff for a while and edit the best stuff together

How about some blogs that are geared towards certain jobs. like show what the level designers are doing or the audio guys, modelers, programmers, directors, producers

You could show us what a typical meeting is like that you guys have.

You guys could show us what kind of problems you run into while designing the game.

maybe blogs about what you guys do while not working on the game.

Tours of the workplace

like others have said your trip to Africa.

And everything else that i missed...
