So, the trailer for the sequel to Far Cry (read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_Cry) has been released.

You can watch it here:

It looks pretty interesting. The world looks pretty vibrant, even more so than Crysis, and thats interesting because generally for the genre the world is always so....dead?

I wonder if the specs will be higher than Crysis tho.

I did find it ironic they have all this fancy word shit and yet a flamethrower still can't light grass on fire. (realistically, it takes like, what, 30 seconds in that video?)

wtf? :/

I just hope the AI isn't as repulsively broken as it was in Far Cry.

Wh... what? Did you watch the full trailer?

EDIT: oh I somehow looked right over those parenthesis (and the containing text) yeah I guess you have a point, it didn't look that realistic.

The game looks alright. I hate how they're hyping the game by saying "Heh you can travel 50 miles in this game". Far Cry and Crysis are more known for their engine than the actual game though, so this kind of thing is expected.
I probably won't be impressed with the actual game, but it will be interesting to see what they've done to improve Far Cry.

Apparently from what I read they're trying to take on the GTA genre except in FPS.

I can't say I care too much for this game though.

I thought the game looked pretty good and I really liked Far Cry Instincts, even bought the game at launch(which I never really do unless it's something I already like, like when Jak3 came out)so I think this could be pretty good.

HL you really think their gonna make you wait what 30mins for the fire to start, especially since it seems to be like some feature of escaping or stopping your enemies from getting you?
