FarCry 2 invites you for a scenic view of Mwanzo

by Nick Doerr { Jan 24th 2008 at 8:00PM }

The first FarCry was alright. The sequel, though, is looking pretty gorgeous. It'll probably play a bit differently from other shooters on the PS3, so long as it tweaks the first game's mechanics a bit. We don't get to see too much in this video, named Mwanzo, but we get the idea there will be a safari in Africa, a trip to some mud/clay houses, and fire. Lots of fire. The scenery is nice, but we don't know how it'll look when in motion and much killing is to be had. The developers recently debunked some of the more popular FarCry 2 rumors (mutant enemies, PS3 exclusive, et cetera) and basically debunked them, so be sure to check that out too.

Seriously? i think it runs way better than Youtube or GameTrailers. Maybe you just have a slow computer

Actually i think its just an Opera thing, everything else works fine

The Dunia Engine looks very impressive. This looks like a great game, but I'll have to wait for more gameplay before I judge it.
Unfortunately the great team behind FarCry 1 (Crytek) has parted with the franchise, so this is pretty much a new IP right now. We'll have to wait to see how this turns out, but the graphics truly are amazing.

huh. you cant seriously think this will be the same engine for the console ports. Especially not for the 360. if they really wanted too, this game could run like it does in the video for the PS3. However, this would take lots of time, dedication, and possibly a large sum of money. Who honestly (besides Infinity Ward) put that much time into a PS3 game this year? (i forgot Insomniac) Our version is likely to be a crappy port just like Far Cry for the 360. if i were Nick Doerr, i wouldn't post videos with graphics for the PC version, because it will only get our hopes up, and we will all be crushed when we get some sub-standard port that looks like 2 years ago.
