FarCry 2 modded PS3 belongs in a museum

by Andrew Yoon { Oct 24th 2008 at 9:00AM }

It's hard to tell at first, but there's a real PS3 hidden in there, thoroughly modded to capture the feel of Ubisoft's FarCry 2. Seeing every step in the elaborate transformation process is truly remarkable. The pictures show truly how much dedication went into this impressive mod.

Of course, you're wondering how you can get one, right? Well, bit-tech.net is giving one away. Find out more details here. (Unfortunately, for UK residents only!) Should you happen to win the system, we urge you to take good care of it. This one-of-a-kind item deserves the best attention possible.

Far Cry 2: console video walkthrough

Ubisoft made quite an impression with its latest console footage of Far Cry 2. While we'd like to say that it's simply the gameplay that caught our attention, we'll admit that this is purely for the eye candy. We're impressed to see that the console version looks just as good as the PC. Word to Ubisoft, though: can we please have a little bit of color into this unusually bleak representation of Africa?

Far Cry 2 video interview discusses day/night system

by Nick Doerr { Jul 11th 2008 at 6:30PM }

In this video interview with the developers of Far Cry 2, Ubisoft gives you a brief rundown of the story: track down an arms dealer supplying goods to both sides of some warring factions. There's also a lot of different ways to approach the game: there's a night and day system in place and depending on your actions during the day or night, the game will play out differently. Of course, the time of day will have coinciding strategies that will work to your advantage, whether you want to sneak Metal Gear Solid style or run in with guns blazing. It sounds interesting and we hope to hear more as the game nears completion.

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.
