Ahhh the obligatory escape from the sinking ship....as far as I can tell pretty much every triple-A game since Modern Warfare has had this as part of their game. Uncharted 3 being the most recent example

Does anyone know if it was infinty ward who started this?

Is it sinking? Looks beached to be.

Remove the red jelly and damn it, I'm sold. And honestly, the dubstep is fine with me if it means I don't have to hear another cheesy orchestral soundtrack.

Honestly, the game itself looks a whole lot more open than any Call of Duty game has ever dreamed of being. Closer to Crysis than CoD.

EDIT: Aaaaaand the protagonist has voice. Aaaaand there's some crazy shit going on. Aaaaaand I am definitely interested now, red jelly or not.

I'm sorry, but is it Nolan North doing a voice-over for the main protagonist?

I love that the map is on the screen now. Holding up the map while driving was terrible in Far Cry 2. I also hope they have fixed the problem of AI constantly spawning at checkpoints and have allowed the vehicles to travel faster than 55 km/h. A better fast travel system would be nice.

Also this is just wishful thinking but I'd love some motor-based flying vehicles instead of just hang gliders.

Can't wait for September, I hope this game is much better than Far cry 2 and that it has a greater variety of missions and a large Island. Also pleeeease Ubisoft don't bog down this game with silly pre-order stuff or lock out game content as DLC.

@believer258: Your comparisons are funny. For two reasons:

1. Crysis was an extension of Far Cry

and

2. Fry Cry as a franchise has always been about its open world. This gunplay, I'll admit, does bear resemblence to Call of Duty. Kind of bummed at that actually. I like my differentiation.

@Masha2932: I liked holding the map. it felt organic..although it also meant I'd swerve off the road and into a tree, or get stuck on a rock. Far Cry 2 had some great ideas and a unique atmosphere but some truly game-breaking mechanics. I'm about 60% finished on my playthrough and may never go back, just b/c of the pain in the ass checkpoint spawns and how annoying it is to get around the map.

0___o he's right

id also like to add to that escaping from a ship being boarded. starwars/ halo.

i hope this game fixes what far cry 2 did wrong and improves on the things it did right.

characters seem very interesting and action seems good aswell

It's not really in the process of sinking though.

And wow, looking at the youtube comments, I had no idea there were hardcore Far Cry fans.

He... I knew these but wasn't thinking about them when I said that. I've beaten Crysis and went halfway through Far Cry 1.

Meanwhile, Call of Duty's gunplay itself feels great to me, so I have no issue with the game using that. FC3 also seems to have a lot more health since the character was out in the open a lot, moving and shooting dudes like mad instead of staying crouched behind cover like CoD often does. I can see the resemblances but I've played enough Call of Duty to know when something is doing things a little differently...

...and then we get to the ship part, where all that gets thrown out. Granted, a ship's insides are quite close quarters, but still. I hope that segment doesn't last too long.

And, on a final note, I wish the knife-throwing mechanic (where he stabs a guy and then tosses the knife into the next enemy) had been left once in that recent trailer and never shown again, or even shown before at E3.. It's already been shown enough to start getting mundane when it was awesome before, and that's not what the developers want.

Oh no. No no no no no! Not more Nolan North. Dammit.

Theres A LOT of hate for tht game on that video... dont understand looks a whole lot of fun to me.

I've never played CoD. Could someone explain how this is similar to its gunplay?

This is a game I will play without music .... this dubstep (or brostep) fad has to die off

That gameplay is so fucking shit compared to Far Cry 1. Every single moment there's a cutscene happening even as you're PLAYING, the camera goes out of control into a cinematic view as you move, your character panic-lunges at the enemies into a scripted animation when you hit a stealth button, there's a mission marker on the radar and a meter counter and the objectives glow in the world, etc.. 
 
Man I'm installing Far Cry right now, fuck this on-rails consolized noise.

Looks cool, but I'm waiting to see how this turns out. Far Cry 2 is probably worst game I've played on this generation of consoles.

Yeah man this new CryHarder 4 is shit compared to the first CryHarder. I wish they would remake the same game over and over every time.

He does have a point though. This part just shows that Far Cry 3 is a just a prettier CoD. This game looks like it's going to have a PR that revolves around the action and not on the stealth that the first one had. I don't remember getting shot this much on FC1 and making it through like the guy in the demo did. I remember careful planning and sneaking because I couldn't take that many shots. One thing about evolving the game but another to completely ignore where the magic of the game comes from. I really hope this is just a PR stunt.

You also have to remember that evolution is not always a good thing. Games don't have to evolve in order to be good.

I really really hope you're being sarcastic, man.

does anyone have any confirmation that that is indeed Nolan North? i need to know its actually him before i put in my pre-order.

other than that, the game looks pretty awesome.

Nothing about the game mechanics are on rails, if you are talking about camera animation and flourishes as you take someone down, welcome to 2010+ where that matters to most gamers (immersion etc). Using takedown features (stealth melee approach) are also not mandatory as the player is given access to dozens of other encounter possibilities including classic stealth weapon use. Every single part of the gameplay mechanic throughout the game is systematic and nothing is scripted.

Freak out some more.

Far Cry 2 is pretty awesome, I think. That said, Far Cry 3 looks uninteresting.

The original Far Cry was pretty great, until they introduced the bullshit monsters. Far Cry 2 was a marked improvement on the Far Cry formula that offered a thought provoking look at how mercenaries effect destabilized regions (specifically in Africa), and this looks like a better Far Cry 2. I was sold before, but now? Man. I can't wait for this.
