Far Cry has a curious history. It’s a series on the cutting edge, on the cusp of technology. But With Far Cry 3 Ubisoft hopes to go beyond that technology, beyond the camera. Far Cry 3 has aspirations, it wants to be a video game that’s about something, but what? We spoke to Lead Writer Jeffrey Yohalem to find out.
OK, let’s put aside the fact that the Far Cry 3 gameplay we’ve seen thus far has more in common with Uncharted than it does with the misunderstood-by-many, beloved-by-me Far Cry 2.
The first official trailer for Ubisoft first-person shooter Shootmania has arrived. ShootMania: Storm comes from French team Nadeo, who were behind the TrackMania games. They share a premise of heavy player modification, letting players design levels and maps.
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.
Eric Chahi’s distinctive god-game From Dust is now available through the Google Chrome store for a discounted price of $US9.99. The game was one of the more pleasant surprises of last year.
Ubisoft’s Ghost Recon franchise has always occupied the “tactical military shooter” space a bit uneasily. The series initially focused on brutally lethal engagements in long, outdoor spaces, but with the Advanced Warfighter games of the mid-2000s evolved to cast the player as a technologically enhanced one-man army, pitting him against tanks, helicopters and platoons of enemy soldiers.
Over the weekend, some new screenshots of Beyond Good & Evil 2 – or at least BG&E2′s tech demo – look to have turned up. Interestingly, while they share the same setting as the last screens (and the tech demo video), these actually have star Jade front and centre, and show sequences not depicted in prior looks.
We haven’t heard much out of Brothers in Arms: Furious 4, a game announced a year ago at E3, one that is quite a departure from the tone of other games preceding it. That, coupled with the lapsed trademarks surrounding the game, sent out the rumour that the game was cancelled.
