too bad that guy will get sniped also, awwww!!!!

freespeech

I'll only buy this if I can snuggle him back to health.

Isn't there enough gay jokes going around the FPS scene without adding to it?

I look forward to the day when "U R GHEY" is the new "Gnarly totally radical". Maybe parents need to start saying it to make it uncool.

Kuromimi

Cripes on toast, didn't you people play Crysis? Those screens aren't doctored.

Every preview, I get more excited about the possibilities in Far Cry 2. Loved the first one, but this one will undoubtedly change the genre for good.

unmarkedone

uhh.. these screeshots are really old , they were in edge two months ago

stull lulzworthy though

Uzilover

@TheDollHouse: Yes. Yes, you are evil if that was your first thought.

NKato

I and the entire readership of GayGamer are, no doubt, waiting for this game, so that we can all gently tend to his wounds and slowly, every so slowly, nurse him back to health.

Again, and again, and again.

gblock

Those railroad tracks are huge.

Still, if this means you can actually use people as sniper bait, this game will rock

Legba33

yumyum now this will be a game that I want :D

infi

needs more brown

Violater

I think its a nice gameplay mechanic. Simply wounding someone and then walking on, maybe to save ammunition could be interesting. You could just pop one in his head though.

Sniper_Zegai

That lead screen was in in Edge about 2 months ago. It paints a little moral question, you've wounded a guy, and his ally is trying to move him to safety. Do you kill the guy who is of no threat to you whatsoever? It's a small touch, but quite clever nonetheless.

hahnchen

Skynet will be required to run this game.

And the enslavery of humanity.

;D

Will be looking foward to some real gameplay footage for this game though on a more serious note.

Witzbold

Wow heavily "touched up"

MyLittlePwny

@Fyren: Ever play 'JFK: Reloaded'?

brieeyeball

@Marlor: This was shown on Intel's new Octo-core.

Its insane, I thought my AMD x2 dual core was the shiznet just two years ago.

Fyren

@shadow_judge:

My bet would be that they are in-game, but on some super-high-end PC.

Marlor

@Fyren: A cross between the simulation of Silent Scope and the realism of Sniper Elite without the run and gun segments? I would buy that.

Erwin

@Guild_Navigator: I really wish there will be a AAA sniping game. I am not talking about Sniper Elite Garbage.

Fyren

@Duphman2: Kinda think he was going for a sarcastic tone...since the big uproar over RE5 / Biohazard and the whole people getting killed in Africa. Have a sense of humor.

painuser

Hope they don't focus only on graphics and forget the game play.

Pyro Jack

So....does this mean I can wound someone out in the open and use his cries for help as bait? Nothing like picking off heroes from a cowardly vantage point.

Guild_Navigator

Those screens... they are all pre-rendered, aren't they?

shadow_judge

@NfoRcErX: This is all true, but then what if this fellow in question has the persistence of that one knight in monty python? He would find that sniper...and bite him to death. Not exactly a warrior's death. But then again, I'm also getting completely off topic. Sorry.

mackincheese

@ ShawnC++: super white is now activated for this generation :-)

InEffectMode

I still can't figure out why people in 'next generation' games are so god damned shiny. Do they all gather together in the rendering room and pour copious amounts of oil on each other? Seriously, what the hell?

ShawnC++

Sigh. Novices.
@TheDollHouse: "Finishing the job" is mercy killing. Better to let him suffer with the least amount of force so that by the end he'll be begging to die, but you won't let him have his release.
@Rockwallaby: That seems like a game or pastime. You could do that anytime you want to with anybody and a field. This is an opportunity to really dig into their mind and slowly break it.
@NfoRcErX: The more gunshot wounds they have, the better chance they have of bleeding out. You don't want that. Plus, what's fair in murder?
*note: this is just a lighthearted talk on homicide. This in no way is meant to represent the commenters or the editors Kotaku. None of us would hopefully actually ever commit these acts on any person living or dead (for practice). Should this be used against us in any court of law, we'll just blame it on videogames and get away scott free anyway. Oh, and hello Mr. Thompson.

Erwin

@Agies:
Wait ... what? The trees grow at all in the time frame of the game, what is it like going to take place over several hundred years.

boxofthegods

@InEffectMode: Pygmies.

Yuki

with this game and crysis, it might be enough for me to build a new pc.

BohlBERG

@Erwin: Itagaki approves. This is violence.

Yuki

@Duphman2:
Certainly, most definitely I couldn't be satirizing the people like the lady who made the deranged comments about Resident Evil 5, no that would be well outside the realm of logic.

Coldbrand

@Erwin:

That's not fair... you should shoot the guy carrying someone in the knee... then his other knee... then both elbows... so they are stuck there with no where to go and no way to move. Then set up a video and timelapse it for the next planet earth :D.

NfoRcErX

how is there a scope focused on the tracks but the people are multiple times smaller

InEffectMode

@Erwin: or you could shoot the carrier in the leg so they both have to crawl to safety & you can take pot shots at them.

Rockwallaby

lovely screens, but certainly not new.

mescalineeyes

@Erwin: Better yet shoot him in the kneecaps. Watch his virtual suffering then finish the job...Okay, I'll leave now.>_>

TheDollHouse

@TheDollHouse: No! I think it's far more cruel to take out the carrier, that way the guy on his shoulders will think he just might make it out, but oh no, bam, he drops to the ground with nowhere to go. I would probably then leave him to fend for himself with no way to move or defend himself while I watch from a distance.
Too far?

Erwin

Nice to see Ubi are at least trying some different things assassins creed was OK & if some of the ideas they have planned for this pan out it could be interesting.

Have any other shooters been set in the savannas of Africa? I'm guessing there will be no cover system.

Rockwallaby

@mackincheese, TheDollHouse: I would take out the guy carrying him first because we know the carried isn't going anywhere, unless they like to give each other limp piggyback rides. I've had help. It doesn't work.

Erwin

@Duphman2: SO glad you caught on to the humor...

Taco Bell™

@mackincheese: Personally, I would go for the one on the back first. Then all his efforts to save his friend would be for nothing. Then out total evilness, when He realizes that his buddy isn't responding I'll shoot him in the heart.

TheDollHouse

@TheDollHouse: Glad to see I wasn't the only one (whew). But the first thing in my head was worse. go for a...two..for one..kill. Yeah, I need help.

mackincheese

As always, treat any screenshots coming out of Ubisoft as though they were heavily Photoshopped, because they undoubtedly are. The final game will likely look nowhere near as good.

MeanMF

I like that the location feels so... limitless? I wonder how far players can explore?

meandering_drivel

@Coldbrand: Uh....

Am I an evil person if the first thing I thought when I saw this screen was to snipe the guy on his shoulders in the head?

TheDollHouse

Well, it sure LOOKS purdy. Now lets hope they stay away from the corridor shooter bullshit that ruined the second half of the first FC...

Raidei

@Coldbrand: Sounding kind of butthurt there. Obviously your CAPS LOCK will make people care. /v/ is your friend.....stay there.

Duphman2

@shivmoo: Are you idiots still going on about the tree tech demo? It was clearly labled as timelapsed.

Agies

THESE SCENES IS RACUST CUS THEY SHOW BLACK PEEPLE BEIN KILLUD

Coldbrand

Sometimes manly men need love too.

SandsOfTime

Condsidering how fast the trees regrow i think a medic could run riot healing the mercs faster than you can kill em!...
not to mention the villages pouring out babby's..
Its gonna be 1 tough fight!..
perhaps thats why he lights the fields on fire, so the little yappers dont nip at his legs.

shivmoo

He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
