That's not this gen graphics...lol. Far Cry 2 had some of the best graphics this gen. That looks like Far Cry 1. Who would bother with that old engine???

Far Cry 2 is one of my favorite games this gen...Here's why...

In terms of graphics, FarCry 2 was quite impressive (on PC), however the repetitive gameplay was pretty horrible. IMO, FarCry (The pc verison, not the console "instincts" spin off) was a much better game, however I feel crysis was the true successor to farcry, and farcry 2 should have carries a different name altogether.

Mastodon5008d ago

I agree as well. It was by far the longest and one of the most engaging FPS I've ever played.

-Gespenst-5008d ago

Just is all just correct.

BattleAxe5008d ago (Edited 5008d ago )

Far Cry 2 IMO was a far better game. Better graphics, better voice acting, better story, better physics and a REAL open world game. I've got this game for PS3.

Far Cry 1 PC was ok, but the AI was not realisic by being able to see you through tents and buildings. Also the mutants looked stupid. The music in the game sucked also. Far Cry 2 was a much longer game.

mastershredder5007d ago

Right there with you. There were things about Farcry 2 that just stunk and others that were spot on.
Crysis in my mind is the true "Farcry 2". I did not really need a sequel anyway and why the hell not bring Jack back if you did? It would have been a hell of a lot better than a mute random pick mercenary.
Farcry 2 had so many shallow ends and the character development was one of them. Hell the Jackal was the main target yet you are so displaced from him you don't feel like you efforts are really leading up to tracing him down, but more like just invisible BS barriers blocking you from getting to the goal. I don't know why but I kept thinking of Mickey Rourke every time I encountered the Jackle or listened to those over the top "they're not gonna get me..seee? Meeeeh seee?" voice recordings.

hm i think the only good thing about far cry 2 are the graphics..
the gameplay sucked.. the always respawning enemies.. the stupid health system.. no splitscreen multiplayer.. online problems..

hiredhelp5008d ago

cez of rage
kid you obviously no nothing. if i was you go back to the xbox world of games. leave this to the big boys. for your info this is the old first engine with a MOD a MOD . this looks freaking awsome. if you benchmarked this game to xbox 360 far cry 2 you find this won hands down.
by the way ive owned all farcrys on pc and
xbox 1 instincs
360 preditor
360 farcry 2
ps3 farcry 2

as well as crysis and crysis warhead.
i used to make map and host and known in the world of farcry back in days try www.fcmaps.net run along.

Sidewinder-5008d ago

That trailer falsely advertised the game in terms of the story.

Far Cry 2 was poor. Graphically sound, but in most ways, it was just very poor.

Far Cry(PC) was better. Far Cry Instincts was better.

BattleAxe5008d ago (Edited 5008d ago )

So you liked the terrible voice acting, the poor AI and the stupid looking mutants in the first one? lol

sh0ryuu5007d ago

I mean... you act as if Far Cry 2 had good voice acting. That was all terrible as well and ran far too fast with no breaks between sentences.
There's also nothing great about the AI in FC2. Regardless of where you are, if you fire your weapon, they instantly know EXACTLY where you are. It really added to the camouflage mechanic that simply didn't work... at all.

Johandevries5007d ago

Far Cry is WAY better than Crysis. Why?

Because Far Cry is like 20 hours of gameplay and Crysis 7....

Simple reason

The pretty trees and flowers. Oooh. Aaah. Look at that awesome looking *SSSSSWIISH-THUB* - bullet through the chest.

MGRogue20175008d ago (Edited 5008d ago )

The people responsible for this should be hired as professional game developers.. Aye, I'm being serious. I see huge potential. :P

BloodyNapkin5008d ago

For being a revamped 6 year old engine, it looks pretty good.

Far Cry Villains To Appear In A New Comic

This is interesting news for comic and Far Cry fans as something new in the universe for the game is always welcome. Villains from popular Far Cry games are transported into prehistoric times by the priestess Batari, who has pulled them from their lives before they've committed their most heinous crimes.

"Villains from popular Far Cry games are transported into prehistoric times by the priestess Batari"

Why do they make every f****** thing goofier and goofier

Watch Dogs become whacky, Assassins Creed jumped the shark, Ghost Recon become less serious now this

Garethvk43d ago

I think it is the trend. They look around and say ok; what can be done that will not infringe upon the next game and this is what happens. I heard rumors of the next Far Cry offering may be in Alaska and there was also an Online offering coming. So we get this to tide us over.

Farcry 3 and literally thats it! lol

GamingSinceForever426d ago (Edited 426d ago )

I recently tried 3 for the first time but the frame rate was a turnoff.

I liked 5 and 6 though.

banger88426d ago

If you have a Series X or S, the Xbox 360 version runs at 60 fps with fps boost. It's a shame the remaster doesn't.

isarai428d ago

2 and 3, pretty much the only ones i really enjoyed. 1 was amazing for the time but aged quite poorly. 4 has the elephant gun, all i can praise from any entry after 3 lol

cooperdnizzle426d ago

Ummmm 3 than stop.

Okay maybe two as well. But yeah probably 3 and then move on.

JEECE426d ago (Edited 426d ago )

Far Cry 2. People constantly rant about games now being too easy, holding your hand, having too many unnecessary RPG-lite leveling features, etc. People specifically complain about open world games being too focused on tons of collectibles and "checkmarks" that just waste time.

Far Cry 2 is an answer to all of those complaints. It was made by Ubisoft before they fell into all the traps discussed above (and before they started inserting towers into their games to defog the map). It has respawning enemies, weapons that degrade, and the collectible diamonds are very useful in the game (which you find in a similar way to the way you find shrines in BOTW with a radar system). The map you have is an in game item you pull out while playing, not a pause menu that is unnecessarily detailed. Also the enemy AI and physics are much better than later entries in the series.

It has a mixed reputation because people at the time said it was too hard, the weapon degradation was annoying, and then respawning enemies were annoying. FC2 came out in 2008, so this was before games like Dark Souls and BOTW had come out and made it cool to like these types of features.

XbladeTeddy425d ago

Far Cry 2, the one with the AI that find you through walls and trees, can one shot you from a mile away and have 100% accuracy? That was frustrating not fun because cheap AI.

JEECE425d ago (Edited 425d ago )

Uhh, I mean, it isn't one of these games where once the enemies have detected you they will magically forget you exist because you walked behind a wall or went into a bush. And yeah the AI isn't stormtrooper level accuracy. Again, these are positives, not negatives to me.

To be fair, I'm really directing this at the people most critical of "Modern Ubisoft" or "Modern Open World" design elements. Like the type of people who fawned all over Elden Ring because it had a clean UI because they are so burnt out by the "checkbox" type of open world design.

If you like those types of games, then a later FC game like 3 and especially 4-5 would be more your style.
