Look, I’m not gonna lie: this is just a trailer for a collector’s edition of Ubisoft’s tropical first-person-shooter. By rights, it should be an incredibly dull piece of marketing hype. But damn if it isn’t pretty brilliant.
Because of the size and position of the Australian ratings classification for video games (CTC here is a placeholder), Ubisoft had to mirror the image of the Far Cry 3 box art, in order for us to see that poor bastard buried up to his nostrils by that psychopath, posing like a dual-wielding Le Penseur.
Yesterday we showed you what will surely be 2012′s worst example of box art. So it’s only fair that today we cleanse the palette with what could easily be 2012′s best.
We already know that there’s going to be guns and violence and binge-drinking in Far Cry 3. In this new trailer for Ubisoft’s open-island shooter, you meet Dr Earnhardt, who’ll be supplying you with a variety of nature’s finest mood enhancers. Appropriately creepy, no?
The latest instalment of Ubisoft’s open-world FPS series comes into focus in this new trailer, where we see that it’s never a good idea to get blackout drunk on an uncharted island. You’ll watch regular guy Jason Brody — bro is even part of his name! — just trying to get away from civilisation for a few relaxing days with his girlfriend.
A leaked Polish Far Cry 3 dates the game for a September 6 release. The trailer is CG and a longer version of a previously released teaser. If real, it’s unclear whether the release is worldwide or Europe-only.
