20 Minutes of Far Cry 2 Gameplay
godkow | 2:03 PM on 06.26.2008 10 comments


Actually, more like 23 minutes and 37 seconds of gameplay. Also, a note about the below list. I didn't write it as I was watching like a smart person would so I could have missed some stuff. Still, you get the idea.

Things of interest:
-Completely open world.
-50 square kilometers
-No loading, it's all seamless.
-Dynamic day/night cycle
-Dynamic wind/weather cycles
-1 minute in real time is 5 minutes in game time
-There are 9 playable characters. Whichever characters you don't play with become NPCs and can help you on your mission.
-There are over 100 missions.
-Their first estimate was 50 hours of gameplay.
-Africa is dirty so your guns will jam.
-You can fix your vehicles so you don't get stranded
-There is a sort of weapon shop so you can pick what weapons you use for what mission.
-Some animations look a little stiff, but they still have time to change them before the game gets released.
-Intelligent roadside system (road signs telling you where to go). Presenter adds "But it's an open world so you do what the fuck you want."
-Fire. Freaking. Propagation.


"Louis-Pierre Pharand from Ubisoft showing for the first time in the world Far Cry 2, at DreamHack Summer 2008."

Im not very impressed... that video doesnt really have anything that stands out to me
Clockwork's Destructoid Blog
Yeah I agree with King3vbo. It's sort of strange. All of those things you highlighted sound awesome but while I'm watching this, I'm not intrigued. I'm sure I'd be happier if I played it it.

The open world intrigues me, as far as being a FPS is concerned.

Off topic, but directed toward godkow. Is your banner an artist render from a game, something you created, or just some zombie pwnage you found? I likey.

Giraffywaffy:

I wish I could say I made it, but I just found it somewhere on the internets and thought it'd make a sweet banner.
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
Same. Very "meh" worthy. Also, "YOU DO THE FUCK YOU WANT!"

Lol.

So it's like Oblivion, but with more blowing of shit up...
JonDarkwood's Destructoid Blog
The dude talking while this video is playing sounds obnoxious as shit.
AKK's Destructoid Blog
Real time crashing!

Not impressed. The guy talking is, as said, fucking obnoxious.
RonBurgandy2010's Destructoid Blog
Looks pretty damned good. Not amazing and revolutionary, but at least fun as shit. Pull a Crackdown with the multiplayer and then I'll really be impressed.

 about me

Other Aliases: Oswoc, Ozwok, Zice, god.kow (plus any/all of those with '325' after them)

Steam ID: god_kow

Clan Affiliation: [SSNF] and our radical right wing [kssnf]

My favorite genre is generally shooters. RPGs are ok too (especially if they're free). I'm too dumb to figure out RTS games. Racing/Sports games are meh, unless something creative is done with them to make them awesome. If I wanted to play soccer, I would just go outside and do it. If I'm gonna game, I'm gonna blow people's heads off and cleanse the world of demons (things I can't/would never do in real life).

Consoles I Own (in no particular order): Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, Playstation 2, Gamecube, Xbox, Wii, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, mah shweet PC

Oh and I'm part Japanese. My friends seem to think that's awesome so maybe if you guys read this you'll think I'm awesome too. Seems like solid logic to me.

Main Games I'm Playing:
Team Fortress 2 (PC)
Left 4 Dead (PC)
I've also got the random urge to play Morrowind again as well.
