@Quazimojo:

Blue Man Group would be offended.

Pezdispenser

Am I aloud to get mad at the fact that they are only shooting white people?! Really it's just a travesty seeing my people depicted as targets of violence. Where are the black, asians, hispanics, and kittens?!?!. Where's my congressman?!?!

Seriously, this looks great makes me wish I had $500 to drop on a video card. Here's a hint, NOT going to happen!.

SAKY

Awesome song, awesome trailer.

sammfreak

Yep, amazing. Did anyone else see the youtube video explaining the fire system??? Evidently, fire works like real fire...you can burn fields and even buildings down and it spreads naturally, pretty cool if you ask me.

Also, after the video played theres a link to other videos, where I saw a great Force Unleashed clip of the Apprentice destroying some imperial faces.

dkrefft

Nope. "Barra Barra" was the coolest shit ever in Black Hawk Down, but somehow it just doesn't fit in this trailer. North African music in Sub-Saharan Africa?

Perhaps we can put South American music in the FPS in Canada.

jfm3

That's pretty intense.. I can only imagine what they'll be able to do once they figure out how to use colors other than brown.

MeanMF

Gorgeous looking game. Love the feel of the imagery. Music was awesome, too.

Trailer: you did your job.

Fortyseven

Wow. I never got into Far Cry, but I will buy this on Steam.

Solid_hedgehog

There are black people getting shot there...

Once again, my opinion is the same as it was with Resident Evil, there are WAY more games where the enemies are White or Middle-Eastern, so why is this horrible? Bad guys are BAD guys, whatever color they are, I don't care if there's a polka-dotted man and he is the last of his kind, if he shoots at you, you'll shoot back.

JimmyPageJun1or

@Quazimojo: Except for the Blue Man Group that is.

pEdso

@Quazimojo: The Blue Man Group would like to have a word with you. As would the members of Eiffel 65. :p

But anyhoo, this game has a pretty. Still don't know if it has a fun, though.

ShaggE

Lmao at shooting white people , i think all people in video games from now on should be Blue that way no group from the planet earth can ever complain that there race are being picked on .

Quazimojo

I don;'t think I'll be happy with this game until I see some genetically-altered Gorillas.

UberGoat

Since my experiences with Far Cry One were bad, no matter how cool these trailers remain, I won't be getting it.

Ad-hominem

That is one purdy game.

Tycoonalex1337

Not enuff black people dying.

ChronicLogic

Oh my gosh, that looks so great! The bandaging part intrigues me to no end.

JimmyPageJun1or

i like how you can get wounded. I just hope theres no regenerating health bar, the trend that halo started to pertain to the casual gamer crowd, and dumbed down the FPS genre

I guess it made sense in Halo. But NOT in Call of Duty, or Rainbow Six, or Uncharted, or any other game that includes that.

And there needs to be monsters. Where did they go? ;[

wahrugene

Looks absolutely amazing. Visually and in gameplay. If I ever get around to fixing up the junker of a computer I have right now, I'll pick it up the PC version.

Though I do have to say, the music in the trailer is really neat. Anybody have an idea as to who the artist or song title is?

Reule

It's pretty inconsiderate that the developers can't be asked to set the game in a specific nation in Africa, or even a fake one. They just bunched the entire continent up, all 1billion people with their diverse cultures and ways of life, into a single homogeneous state.

Pretty lazy if you ask me.

Lord Bowser

Oh, for the love of god. Can we drop the "Hur hur people were mad at Resident Evil 5 'cause they were only shooting black people!" stuff, which ignores the -actual- arguments that people were making?

As for the game itself, I have to admit that I'm cautiously optimistic. On the one hand, I was initially wary, since none of the creators of the original Far Cry had anything to do with the game's development.

On the other hand...no more stupid mutants that shoot rockets at you from a mile away (presumably).

EmpressInYellow

@ChronicLogic: I know that you're joking (I hope) but I don't think that's very funny, regardless of the ethnicity you used.

This trailer got me hyped for this game again. I'll be picking it up for 360.

@jfm3:

It seems that EVERY single soundtrack to anything happening remotely close to Africa/North Africa has to be by an Algerian singer (mami; Khaled; Taha...)

Mr. Tambourine Man

I might actually give a flying fuck about these games (Far Cry, Crysis) if they fixed the two biggest problems.

1. Vision. The way the soldiers see you 10 miles away.
2. Damage. When I shoot some one I want them to die realistically, not with a billion bullets. Especially when the whole team is flanking me.

Other than that, it sure looks nice.

Griev3r

I'll be getting the PC version off of Steam as well.

Yay, for having a job and no wife and kids to feed! :D

@Kickers:

Yeah man. I don't know why people are complaining that building a gaming PC is really expensive. It only is if the person wants to max out everything at a resolution higher than 1080p with 3 monitors.

450-500 should be the least anyone can spend on a gaming pc, and it could last them for 4-5 years with max'd settings on resolution as high as 1400x1050.

And if someone plays on a 720p monitor, there should be no problem at all either

wahrugene

Amazing trailer, nothing else to say.

sailingtonorway

@wahrugene: Health doesn't regnerate- instead, you carry around 4 or 5 syringes that you jab into your wrist vein whenever you get too injured. Other injuries (like the bandage wrapping) fix being crippled, etc. but do not heal health.

That's what I've been told. Don't quote me (officially).

Jayge

All I can say is, thank God they're shooting at white people.

LOL! Isn't it the truth? Isn't it the truth? So sick of hearing the shit about RE5.

Juthan

@Lord Bowser:

yeah, but they have to make the game interesting, which means they're gonna need more then just one country in Africa. The place is mostly one big depressing nightmare, in depserate need of help so I don't think the devs want to send any specific messages to certain Countries. Although, the devs did mention the country's they used in their docs they put out by I could be mistaken. I also don't think they sent out to make a political statement, just a new "generic environment".

What I would call lazy is the fact that they are piggy backing on the FarCry name, a very successful PC franchise, instead of having the ballz to call it it's own name, which is what should happen. This is more UBI corporate playing their cards safe, which is ridiculous. This game has nothing to do with FC1.

dozerking

@Kickers: Oh, it is too expensive when you consider you are building that for about 2 games, so a $500 set up (At lowest cost.) to play Crysis and Far Cry 2 or an Xbox 360 for $300 and the massive library of games that includes most PC games except for Crysis (The game that Far Cry 2 will make irrelevant.).

JimmyPageJun1or

Mmmmm, 'splodey....

jmb8504

A 9600 GSO cost less than the 8600 on newegg, and performs like 3 times better. You can build a crysis rig now for less than $500 if you know what you're doing. This "pc gaming is too expensive" crap is a load of BS.

Kickers

Looks good but Crysis Warhead looks way better

SatanicBoomBoomHead

More riff

Looking great, finally a game worth putting my 9xxx in the line of fire.

PsycheE

This game is so ridiculously high on my list of anticipated games it has a very real chance of dying of an overdose.

Gunhaver

See Kotaku, if you'd given Farcry 2 some awards your name could've been there at the start!

thewisestfool

@EmpressInYellow: What was the arguement then?

londonlad

@Ad-hominem: It's not the same developers.

wicko

@Lord Bowser:

Considering what fraction of players would actually appreciate it if they did what you suggest, I wouldn't call them lazy, just smart about where they allocate their effort.

Pantsman

Well, for those that didn't like the first FarCry, remember that this is FarCry in name only. The original dev team, Crytek, went on to make Crysis, but Ubisoft got to keep the name "FarCry" when they parted ways. FarCy 2 then is being made by Ubisoft's Montreal team.

hammerhand

@EmpressInYellow: Dear god, PREACH brotha!

DavionV

@JimmyPageJun1or: Why would you say there are only 2 games to play on a PC? That's absurd.

What about Red Faction, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, Fallout 3, Dragon Age, any MMOs, any previously released games that might interest you - all at higher resolutions than console counterparts.

That's not even taking into account that faster hardware will increase the performance of productivity software or any other application used on a PC.

The prices of PCs are far lower than they've been in the last 4 years, and you might find that building a decently performing PC will get you pretty far.
In fact, I've been using the same PC for the last 4 years and it's still capable of playing many games. My videocard doesn't support Sharder Model 3.0, and that's my biggest holdup.

Arttemis

Wow, now that's a pretty awesome trailer.

Shrimp

@D17Ness: Lazy as hell? I would say just plain old lazy. Nothing special about that laziness. Trust me, I'm a console gamer.

@EmpressInYellow: I hear you there.

On Topic: This trailer is impressive to me, but the game still doesn't have that catch that makes it unique. Right now, it's just a really good looking FPS, which is what Crysis still feels like to me. Open worlds? Damage systems? Realistic graphics? These things are nice, but I need a unique vibe. I need a feeling of authorship.

Anarchist_Gamer

Was that co-op at the end? This game would be better with co-op. Man, I hope that's co-op.

Co-op.

Corion

PC gaming is too expensive and all of that crap.

Ness

@JimmyPageJun1or: You have fun with your umm 20 gig hard drive. I can build a dual core computer with a gig of ram and a 9500gt for about 300 dollars. Which will run this+Crysis+Any other game i decide to throw at it just fine. The only game that won't run maxed out is freakin crysis. The hard drive won't be a puny 20 gigs either. Games are 40 dollars for pc gaming by the way. Not 60 you know why? Because most pc gamers buy their stuff online.
[secure.newegg.com]
None of you have ANY reason to claim pc gaming is expensive or any of that crap. Anyone that does is just lazy as hell.

D17Ness

@TOCATL: That just furthers my point!
I was simply trying to prove that the game doesn't require a "$500" videocard to play!

Arttemis

@Lord Bowser: Yeah...

Those damn 'inconsiderate' and 'lazy' developers should spend a lot more time and resources on something that about 6 people would care about instead of focusing on the gameplay. Good call...

BigKidIcarus

@Arttemis: Its no longer smar to buy a 8600gts or a x1900, get the cheapest 9600gt, or if you save a little extra cash a Radeon4850, if you play at 1280x720 you will get more than 50fps minimun in all games with everything on high settings...

TOCATL

@wahrugene: regenerating health bar is one of the best additions to the fps genre in a long time. theres nothing worse than searching around looking for health packs, or deciding not to run into a room and do sum really cool shit, becuase ur too scared of your low health bar. Having a health bar completely ruined fear.

Bring it on! Ive just upgraded my pc for this baby!

@londonlad:
*sigh* Okay, I'll bite, though I'm sure once this derails into "RE 5 isn't racist! Some of my best friends are black!" vs. "Capcom is full of Klan members!", I'll regret it.

The problem with the original trailer wasn't that there were black people. It was that the way in which the trailer was framed (including lighting, editing, etc.) played on a lot of very nasty stereotypes and imagery with a long, unpleasant history (for instance, the "degenerate black men", the "angry black horde" of many slave-revolt nightmares, the black man as "other", etc.)

Yeah, I get it. It's horror. It's supposed to be horrifying. I also don't think the subtext was even remotely INTENDED. The sad fact is, though, that certain kinds of imagery have a history, regardless of the context, and they're going to evoke certain things.

(For instance: regardless of the plot and context, showing a white guy being hanged by a bunch of other white guys carries MUCH different connotations than showing that same group of white guys hanging a black man. Sad but true.)

EmpressInYellow

will it look like that on the console versions?

but since it's a FPS, this is best played on m&kb

the_answer

@Ness: Actually it's cheaper when you think about the games' prices. A PC game sells for $50 at launch... You can even get great games for $10-$15... Less even.

I have a PS3 and a PC set up in my room. I have my PC hooked up to both a monitor and my Bravia TV through my 8800GTS. Whenever I play PC games, I switch to my TV to play them. All I have to do is grab my 360 PC controller and turn 180 degrees to face my TV and I'm all set.

PC gaming can be great fun if you know what you're doing. If you prefer controllers then use a controller, if you prefer M&K then use a M&K. There are no restrictions.

PCs have had all the features both 360 and PS3 have for years. Cross-game chat? Check. In-game music? Check. What else? Music, Movie and picture storage? Um... Check. Video capture? Check. Remote play? Check. High Def gaming? ... Do I have to answer that?

And for those that argue that you have to sit on a desk to play PC games, you're wrong. I sit on a bean bag and enjoy the experience as much as I enjoy playing my console games.

Indeed this game looks amazing, I like far cry a lot even if it wasn't the best game ever...but this looks much better wow

GodKiller0

@Lord Bowser:

Lol it's a game, think about San Andreas

Skin color of enemies? Bah...I don't see why we should still make any deal about this. It just sucks that it's sadly mostly black people that are offended and try to point the finger saying some are racist...I might have just made a racist comment but that's what I generally see and those individuals don't help their "color".

I hope I can kill some white dudes too, blood looks more red then hehe ;)

GodKiller0

This game looks amazing, my only concern is that the art style of the game might hurt my eyes after a few hours.

gamecrazychris

By 2042 I think that the Caucasians will be able to bitch about how the are being killed. US Census Bureau.

Alot of scenes reminded me of CoD4.

KingTuckerman

Sick song lol

Honestly, I want to get this game, but when this comes out, I'll be getting SOCOM: Confrontation and LittleBigPlanet. I think those are enough for me. SOCOM is enough for a shooter. Hell, for me, I lasted 2 years in SOCOM II without buying another game except GTA and some Winning Eleven (ah, back in the day when it actually had a good name instead of Pro Evolution Soccer). I'll maybe pick it up later, but when I see the shooter library, I can't see myself buying this. I also have to focus on life too you know :P

tironabardheblu

@Griev3r: From what I gathered from previous trailers, they are going for realism in this game. When you shoot from far away with a sniper rifle, they don't know where you are, but may send troops in your general area to investigate.

Also, in one of their videos, when you shoot one of the guys in the leg, he'll be crippled, causing one of his nearby buddies to come and pick him up and try to carry him off to safety.

Although, I can't judge how difficult it is to take people down, their injury system still looks interesting.

I like how the people were burning to death, though. lol

Mikolai

Ha there was a glitch and gametrailers was showing me this vid ranked at a 2.1, then I watched it and thought all I know is lost. Looks like a solid atmosphere, Far Cry was a great jaunt from the every day shooter at least in the opening bits. I'm intrigued to check this one out.

Pornosaur

I can't see anything about this game and not have it remind me of the movie "The Hunting Party." Considering the movie was inspired by a "true story" told by four jounalists who actually make a cameo in the movie, I'm willing to bet the game is loosely inspired by the same story.

Bluecell

I can't wait to use the map editor. It's the 360 Far Cry only excellent feature.

Norrin_Radd

DAMN! This looks so freaking awesome! I'm deff. gunna get this for ma PS3....everything just looks stunning...Awesome!

xMatt

Some people could really embarrass my race (black). But sure doesn't add up to the ridiculous amount of people who embarrass whites. Not to be rude, just you can't deny it.

On a related note, what platforms is the game going to be on?

Shockadin

@Owen Good

How do you know those aren't GAY white men they're victimizing? Hell those could be innocent gun carrying transgendered people they're shooting. We're talking worlds above the fascist intentions of Resident Evil 5. Doesn't Kotaku take social justice seriously? Where's your corporate compassion?

THAT'S IT. Where's my sharpie and protest sign?!?! I'm going to open your mind to tolerance by camping out in front of your house and yelling at you with megaphone every time you leave or return.

...well...right after I finish listening to this crunchie Fish tune...yea....

LanciePants

@JimmyPageJun1or: The xbox 360 does in no way include "most" PC games. lol

And you can play more than two games, what were you even talking about?

OmegaRed59

It looks awesome. I'd love to see an MMO use this incredible-looking engine.

psychobaka

Doesn't matter if no black people are being shot... radicalists will only be satisfied when there's a triple A fps with black character shooting white people/ white zombies/ whit furry animals...

Oh yeah, that would be appeasing. :P

Anyways, the game looks beautiful... but from it, I can tell it won't run on my PC. So... I'll just sit in a corner and cry a little.

I'm black and I was hoping this game would have a black main character shooting white people. Oh well, the trailer still looks pretty cool.
