Producer for
Far Cry 2 Louis-Pierre Pharand told
Eurogamer today that there would not be a demo for any version of
Far Cry 2. His reasoning behind forgoing a demo is fairly standard for open world games. He said that it “became too complex” and instead of eating up development time, he would rather put development efforts “into the game so everyone can enjoy a better, more polished experience.”
Pharand isn’t a heartbreaker though. After spilling the unfortunate demo news, he was quick to boast about
Far Cry 2:
I'm not too shy to say that no one else can deliver what we will in a few weeks on PC and consoles: 50 square kilometres of open-world, no loading and sick graphics.
Of course, the most important tidbit that came out of the chat was the fact that players will be able to run over animals in the game. It wasn’t specified what kind of animals, but I’m of the mind that running over any animal is better than nothing. I’ll cross my fingers and hope for zebra. I hate zebra.

I wanna explode a giraffe
Lulz. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for capybaras.
Doomed.
Mercs 2 and Star Wars: TFU also had People killing and STILL got a teen rating.
No boobies however...
Nope, Dexter's right. Fucked up rating system, eh? This would be M-rated anyway, I'm pretty sure. Seems pretty violent, not to mention that there's drug use.
Also, INTERNET GRAMMAR POLICE: The plural form of "zebra" is "zebras."
luckily the dtoid editors know what really counts
Ragdoll zebra off of a cliff from a grenade? Sign me up.
