"Ubisoft's Far Cry franchise is known for its epic scale and role-playing elements that delivers an open world first-person shooter unlike any other. It's been four years since the release of Far Cry 2, and the long wait for the sequel is justified greatly when examining the massive amount of content and gameplay experiences integrated within Far Cry 3."

Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.
Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.
Well, to be fair, they did pump out good open world games before. It was used as a template so much that people now know what it means when you say it's like an Ubi open world collectahon.
What though? I can't think of one game they had where I liked anything about it. Atleast since the ps3/360 Gen
If they have never been the leader in open world gaming, then explain me this: why does almost every open world game follow the same tired old Ubisoft open world formula?
Follow the Leader.
I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
Waiting to play the beta.
I'll see how this one goes. I hope the game controls better than FC2 did.
"Far Cry 3 Sets the Benchmark for Open World FPS Genre"
lol....that was and still is S.T.A.L.K.E.R., there is not in existance another fps better than the series, open world or otherwise, we'll see if this game is anything close....I'm doubtful
the 3 stalker games are the best open world fps's followed by arma 2, followed by crysis warhead, far cry 1, crysis 1, halo 1 and 2 then boiling point, then maybe far cry 2, maybe......
we'll see where far cry 3 fits in, i'm willing to bet it won't have shit on S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
I'd like to know why farcry 3 was delayed from its sept 4th release to dec 4th?
Im feeling worried since farcry 2 was kinda crap...except for the open world in jungle feel.
Loved fc2, preordered this
