Sunday Comics: Dead Island 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?
A five-minute promotional reel of gameplay from Far Cry 3 hit YouTube late on Friday, and appears to be cut to show you all the game’s set pieces as much as the game’s luxurious visuals.
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.
Ubisoft’s E3 2011 demonstration of Far Cry 3 was—obviously—not the only way to run through the jungle and get to the chopper. Flexibility and player choice are key in Far Cry games, which Ubisoft illustrates in the above gameplay demo.
It’s the other way to skin the cat that was Far Cry 3‘s E3 showcase, plus some commentary from Ubisoft Montreal on next year’s game. You can revisit the other way to complete this same objective, with commentary, afterward.
Far Cry 3 is on the books for a 2012 release on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
