Play Far Cry. It's free now, albeit ad-supported.

Well the reason I never played Far Cry in the first place is because I have a computer that is well... not for gaming. I haven't been a PC gamer for years, so when Far Cry 2 does come out on the 360, that is what I will be playing it on.

yea the first time i played Far Cry was that Wii version.....that was one of the worst games i have ever played. i immediately assumed that it was just a lazy Wii port and sold it. im going to go ahead and assume that the normal Far Cry games are much better. i will probably at least rent this for my PS3 depending on how the multiplayer is (also assuming it has multiplayer).

April to March? Other way round, mate.
Otherwise, this is great news. Im a big farcry fan, but my pc doesnt have a chance at running FC2, i was hoping it would come out for 360...

now all we need is crysis.

As long as the PC version is the lead version and isn't held back by the console versions I don't mind at all.

Good new for everybody especially UBISOFT who knows that the real cash is in game consoles !! There's too many hackers on PCs, just take a look at Crysis sales ...

Piracy is a biggie on pc's but console gaming is just more mainstream and is a must for companies if they want to make a buck. Plus relaxing on a couch, playing on a big hdtv, and a nice soundsystem with a wireless controller and not worrying about drivers and upgrading hardware was reason enough for me to give up pc gaming forever.

I think the reason that Crysis isn't selling that well is because theres only like 6 people able to run it.

Thats a common misconception about crysis. I nearly meet all requirements on my cheapo $400 desktop I bought this year. A lot more people can run it than you think.

Nothing beats the immersion from playing a good PC game. Being close to the monitor with Mouse/KB controls, puts you in the action in a way that siting on a couch with a joystick cannot.

"He elaborated, 'The engine is not alien to a console environment just because we have the expertise.' So now, Ubi is taking advantage of said experience to bring the game to consoles."

I think you read "expertise" as "experience".

Spiritually yes, but Crytek left the rights for the Far Cry name when they left from under Ubisoft's wings.

It would be interesting to compare this versus Crsis, which itself looks a bit like Far Cry next-gen in its gameplay.
And regarding piracy being only on PCs - well ask Sega, was the Dreamcast the most pirated gaming platform ever?

yeah, so long as the PC version stays the lead platform, more power to 'em. The large Draw Distances, ala Crysis, should make this game that much better.

Check out that video, they've been workin' hard on the PC version for quite some time.

Great news. I just hope it doesn't turn out like Farcry 1 on the Xbox.. That was one piece of low-res garbage.

Hahaha, what the fuck are you talking about?

One of the best online games for the original Xbox. Had a great map-maker and better online than it's PC counterpart. It's incredible they even got the game running on the Xbox. I can remember loggin countless hours with the game. The 360 port though was just a shameless cash-in.

Yeah, my comment was a bit confused.. I was talking about the Farcry:Instincts Predator for the 360.

Farcry on the Original Xbox I didn't play much of it but still was ugly as hell compared to the PC version.

Hopefully this game has a decent story and a plot with an actual ending.


...unlike Crysis which was just mainly pretty.

So Crysis fits into your cliche of a game that looks pretty but lacks depth? STFU with that bullshit.

Most people bashing the game only repeat what other said, or pirated the game with a preset opinion.

Crysis is a fantastic game. It would help if you actually played the game before forming an opinion.

And no, pirating it for your Pentium 2 doesn't mean you played it.

Crysis is an amazing game with the most highly evolved shooter gameplay available, beautiful graphics, a solid story, and a complex, fun multiplayer.

I replayed the game recently using my 360 controller and it was a wonderful experience. When it comes out for 360, hopefully with full Live integration for multiplayer, it will be the favorite game for a lot of you. =)

Before people go crazy with misunderstanding: Crysis is the spiritual successor to Far Cry, made by the original developers: Crytek. Far Cry 2 is made by another company, as Ubisoft retained the rights to Far Cry when Crytek split. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, as they are clearly making a great game out of the IP.

As a PC gamer, you might think I'd consider this bad news... but that's not the case at all. I understand that for games to be financially viable, as long as it's not an MMO or something, it pretty much needs to be available on consoles. As long as developers optimize properly for PC, making use of our great hardware (generally by including higher-res textures, antialiasing options and other special effects), redo the UI and fonts to suit a PC, and make sure the game plays well with keyboard and mouse.... then I'm still happy. I'll be playing it at a high-resolution, with keyboard and mouse, at higher FPS, with the potential for mods. That's all I really require of PC gaming.

As long as it doesn't suffer from 'consolization', which generally is just slang for developer laziness, I'm fine with multiplatform versions. But when developers leave a UI meant to be used on a TV, with a controller... not on monitor with a keyboard... things get annoying.

If Crysis comes to XBOX 360 i will trash away my crapy PC and buy a 360, i dont think FC2 and Crysis will suffer from consolization i havent seen a game that was PC ported to 360 that suffer consolization, and if that happens you dont see much diference, but yes last generation consoles had very bad ported games.....
