The latest trailer for Far Cry 2 gives us a little insight to the game's storyline. There's an arms dealer named the Jackal and it looks like you're trying to hunt him down. The trailer shows off a variety of guns that you'll be using to take on enemies and set things on fire. The big selling point of this game seems to be the burnable environments and lots of fire is shown off in this trailer.

Starting today at 10PM Pacific, Ubidays 2008 in Paris will be sharing tons of new information on their upcoming games. Ubisoft actually held Ubidays in America a couple of weeks back and I was at this event to try out a bunch of their games, including Far Cry 2. Be on the lookout, as I'll have several hands-on pieces going up starting at 10PM mixed in with any new info coming out from Ubidays Paris.

I can't wait to share with you all the new diary game for the Nintendo DS!!! 

[Thanks, Madninja!]

This looks like the game I'm hoping Resident Evil 5 will be. More Djimon Hounsou and less Leonardo DiCaprio. I can't wait for Afrika, too. I'm so glad African settings are "in" these days.

How unimpressive.

Cutting back from Crysis are they?

The game looks bad, I guess that is the first thing they cut with a lower budget Crysis level graphic engines and if they are using crysis engine that is bad.

I heard the big selling point was the 50km squared world the game takes place in. That's 50km SQUARED!!!

Ubisoft is sorta confused at what a "True Sequel" means. According to their website FAQ about Far Cry 2, soon after claiming it's the True Sequel to Far Cry 1, they say:

No Trigens or mad scientist.

No feral abilities

No Jack Carver

So, basically everything that made Far Cry - Far Cry.
I think game companies have really gone completely retarded as to what people want out of a sequel, this is just like FEAR 2.
What if Bioshock 2 left out any mention of Rapture, Plasmids, and Big Daddies?

This game sounds more like Boiling Point than Far Cry.

teh raccisms

Sorry couldn't resist, what with the game looking similar to RE5, but notice how there were no Africans except for that one brief shot. No one died in the explosions (for all we know the enemy is Asian.)

I don't know how I feel about this game. I didn't see anything other than pretty visuals, but I'll see about hype once more details are released.

I hated the first FarCry, I don't think I'll be touching this one.

I'm interested... in the 360 port. (I relish your groans, PC fags!) I have a huge soft spot for Africa, so I love the idea of playing games set there. Hopefully it'll be good.
