I've been keeping a lazy eye on FC2 until I saw this video: http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14226061/far-cry-2-/videos/farcry2livewire_072308.html

This may be old news but I was absolutely blown away by the footage shown and the surprisingly informative Q&A Jason was having with the spokespersons. One of the most interesting revelations was that this was actually 360 footage, as made rather obvious by the Xbox 360 controller being used to play the game.

Anyway, I should shut up now. But seriously, watch this. Dude......

I want this game so bad...

wasnt jason o campo from gamespot?..???

Holy shit this looks amazing!

I am really looking forward to this game...everything about it seems so well thought out. They are taking a lot of great aspects from other games and making an uber awesome game :P

"wasnt jason o campo from gamespot?..???"

"Wow, if that's the 360 version, I cant imagine what the PC version looks like! Props Ubisoft for their awesome optimization work to make it run so well.

Yeah he was... I guess he left."

O'Campo was one of my favorite Gamespot reviewers

I normally do not buy into the whole "equal across all platforms" crap, but I wouldn't be surprised if that turned out to be true with this game."

It doesn't need to be reported of that in the first place lol, everyone who isn't ignorant should know a PC version of the game, if you can run it well will of course look better. Regardless it still looks amazing on consoles.... thats the difference though, Ubisoft taking over the license in the best thing to happen to Farcry, all crytek ever want to do is make a pretty tech demo in their games, Ubisoft can make a great looking game , get it great looking on all platforms, and make it play awesome.

It's not. Has been reported that the PC version looks quite a bit better."

I can't wait to hang guide and start tons of fires lol

I might be dreaming this up, but I think I heard somewhere that you could actually drop molotov cocktails like bombs while you are hang gliding. That would be bad-fuckin'-ass.

Yeah I love the fire propagation it has... and the full day/night cycles aren't just gimmicks, they add plenty to how you can go about your choice of playing... they'll have normal times when patrols outside will go in to eat, change shift with others, and sleep too, not like other games where they stand in one spot or walk forward and back and nothing else.Just asking for a stealth attack when some are caught sleeping :P

I'm going to switch it up between sneaking around at night with a trusty sniper rifle and AK'in foolz in the face.

I've seen how fun sniping is in this game man, its awesome with the way the AI behaves combined with the constantly changing day/night.... also the machete makes a return... I can't wait to sneak up on some dude and lay him out with it .

On top of the fact that we have yet to see a single bit of how the multiplayer will be..only  hint on that so far has  been the quote that there will be a "map editor for all versions, that will be better than any map editor you've ever used" or something along that line... can't wait to finally see how it turns out, wondering if it will be parts of the place in an open world setting, or just individual maps(assuming maps) and just how in depth this map editor is..and how people can get their maps around the game,  something people have only been able to do on PC's as far as shooters go for the longest time.

everyone has their opinions, although I never liked R6 to begin with until vegas.. it appears they've done a great job with FarCry though.. I've seen plenty of it and it appears to be looking great.

Yeah, let me rephrase what I said - Vegas + Vegas 2 are good games. But it's kind of obvious they are using the reputation of these franchises just to make money off of them (Far Cry 2 has very little to do with the original Far Cry, its just for marketing, like Vegas has nothing to do with the original series, its just for marketing). I'd respect Ubisoft more if they stayed true to the franchise."

Im excited to get this and gears 2 their my games of this fall

I'm downloading the original Far Cry demo now, if I like that then screw GOW2 I'm getting this.

Its not really a similar comparison DARK, I mean..they are similar in a way, but the new Farcry is leaps and bounds better looking, even from a simple 5 minute video than the original farcry ever was. Farcry 1 was like Crysis was, a 'open ended game' supposedly, but truthfully very linear, leading you downa path you had no choice of taking but that one, Farcry 2 is completely open and you play it how you want to.

He left to go to IGN at the beginning of 08 I believe, its been a while now. Good choice on his part.

Embedded for the lazy who haven't watched it yet

Very true but it will get my feet wet, and yes I did like it. I'm probably going to this up and get Gears of War 2 latter, becuase I like to try new things first. For some reason I end up liking them more. I.E. Orange Box, Shadowrun, F.E.A.R."

can' freggin wait!

I can't wait, my most anticipated PC game of the year!
