According to the resume of Ubisoft’s Philippe Baude, there was a version of Far Cry 2 in the works for the PSP and the Wii in late 2006 and early 2007, but the games were cancelled.
Far Cry 2 was the sequel to Far Cry, which was developed by Crytek. There was a Far Cry title released for the Wii, 2006′s Far Cry: Vengeance (above). It looked like a dog’s breakfast.
Ubisoft is currently working on a new Far Cry for 2012, which is cleverly titled Far Cry 3.

Thursday, August 4, 2011 at 1:06 PMYES. FC3 looks awesome, my only complaint is about how it made one of my mates start quoting that ‘definition of insanity’ dude. Seriously – it’s getting worse than his Halo babble and thats been known to last for up to 5 hours only pausing for breath.
