Boo. Boooooo. I want another FC3 DLC
Will Farcry 1 PC version get a revamp as well? Or is it just for the console?
FC1 with HD textures would be sweet!![]()
Would be cool if they just ported 1 & 2 to the 3 Engine as well.
Great opportunity for those that haven't played the games... Great visuals!
Far Cry: The Wild Expedition compilation is cheaper on PC, out February 21 in the UK
It’s a grudgingly great deal: all four Far Crys to date, including a prettier version of the Crytek one, for £24.99. That’s a fiver less than on the consoles.
The only bad thing about The Wild Expedition is that it sounds like a new game, and isn’t. Move beyond that, and you’ll find four ace games: The One Made By Germans, The One With Malaria, The One With That Vaas, and The One That Was Purple.
Far Cry 1 is the most intriguing prospect of the lot, by merit of its new ‘Classic’ lick of paint. We can expect real-time day and night cycles, and new vehicles for underwater and air travel (beyond the existing brief encounter with a hang glider, presumably):
There’ll also be “stunningly realistic†foliage - which is a priority, as most of the parts of the game that aren’t indoor Doom are spent squinting through greenery. I played through Far Cry 1 again recently, and found it overlong - but its best, open-air environments are still (gallingly) a cut above most of those in contemporary games about shooting people. All in all, it stands up rather well.
Ubisoft reckon that the games have collectively left an “indelible mark†on video games, which seems fair. Far Cry 3 was the best shooter of 2012, we reckoned.
Yeah, would love to know what happened afterwardsI'd love a FarCry 3 DLC that actually follows up on the FC3 story - Love that game!
