Far Cry 3 - Why it's Ubisoft's dark horse of E3 2011

During their E3 press conference yesterday, Ubisoft unveiled Far Cry 3 with a mammoth seven-minute gameplay trailer. Here's why we reckon it might just steal the show | FPS Tribe

Yeah, I liked the demo, got a real "FC-feeling" that FC2 didn't have.

PrimordialSoupBase4733d ago

It seems like they're stripping away a bit too much of Far Cry 2's ambitious design.

RedDeadLB4733d ago

That's a good thing because that game was BORING, unlike the first Far Cry, which this looks more alike to.

BRING ON FC3!

PrimordialSoupBase4733d ago

Boring for Ritalin popping Call of Duty gamers.

RedDeadLB4733d ago

I do not belong in that class of gamers, and I still found the game boring.

It aches when I remember the 15 minute drives, only to be run over by them savages when inches away, then having to do the whole drive, AGAIN.

PrimordialSoupBase4733d ago

Then don't get run over? It certainly bothered me the first time too, but you have to learn from mistakes.

The reason why so many people did not like Far Cry 2 is that, unlike most games, it does very little to endear itself to the player. It's brutal, unforgiving, but success is that much more sweet when it's hard earned. And to me the "Far Drive" aspect wasn't annoying seeing as the random firefights that crop up between destinations are among the most wild and dynamic of any shooter out there.

RedDeadLB4732d ago

Well, to each his own. I don't like it when a game leads my hand, but I just couldn't get into FC2 as others did.

A hell lot better than FC2! Looks like the shooting is good this time,and the guns don't rust after bit.I hope we can fly helicopters by ourselves.This game was one of the best games at E3.

zero_cool4733d ago

Ubisoft to Focus on "Return to Leadership" in Open World Genre, Expand Live Service Experiences

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.

enkiduxiv7d ago

Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.

excaliburps7d ago

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.

shinoff21837d ago

What though? I can't think of one game they had where I liked anything about it. Atleast since the ps3/360 Gen

Kornholic7d ago

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.

Aphrodia6d ago

YO dont' talk bad about the General. There'll be problems...

You were never the leader bro 🤣

shinoff21837d ago (Edited 7d ago )

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

Ubisoft's Recent Antics Have Me Fearful For The Sands of Time Remake

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*

Chocoburger35d ago

At this point, only dummies have any hope left for Ubi-junk games.
