New Far Cry 2 Trailer is Mighty Pretty

Looks Like My PC Might Need a Lobotomy

by Coop

The new trailer for Far Cry 2, entitled “Jackal,” was released today. I loved the original; it was one of my favorite shooters on the PC until Crytek screwed it up royally by introducing mutants and spinning around the non-plot until it felt like I was riding in a tilt-a-whirl. You know, almost exactly like what happened with Crysis. This game might have some of the same elements that drove me crazy about the original (rumors of the main character getting malaria makes me fear that they might introduce some superpowers by the end of the game), but the game’s innovative additions such as the amazing looking UI and the day/night cycle have me excited, optimistic, and ready to dump a few hundred dollars into my PC. If the game plays as good as it looks Spore has a definite contender on its hands for single-player game of the year, and I hope to god that Crytek has hired a new script writer since Crysis, because that game made Epic Movie look like Othello.

Oh, and can anyone tell me what song is playing during the video? It kicks some major ass.

    good trailer, good song, game is looking very good. But with so many shooters out before the end of this year, this will probably never see the light of day on my console.

    @Voyou - Have you tried any of the previous Far Cry games?

    yea i have but it all comes down to picking 1 or 2 shooters to buy for the rest of the year and with so many hitting the market, i just don't think this will find a place in my wallet.

    I hear you.

    Just wondering, becuase I've found all of the Far Cry games to be stellar shooters, and it would be a shame to pass up on them for their...less savory brethren.
