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 <em>FarCry 2</em>. Seeing <a href="http://www.bit-tech.net/modding/2008/10/24/far-cry-2-playstation-3-mod/1">every step</a> in the elaborate transformation process is truly remarkable. The pictures show truly how much dedication went into this impressive mod.<br /><br />Of course, you're wondering how you can get one, right? Well, bit-tech.net is giving one away. Find out more details <a href="http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2008/10/24/far-cry-2-ps3-mod/1">here</a>. (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.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/24/farcry-2-modded-ps3-belongs-in-a-museum/">FarCry 2 modded PS3 belongs in a museum</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 24 Oct 2008 09:00:00 EST.

<p>Ubisoft made quite an impression with its latest console footage of <em>Far Cry 2</em>. 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?<br /></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/25/far-cry-2-console-video-walkthrough/">Far Cry 2: console video walkthrough</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 25 Aug 2008 08:00:00 EST.

There's also a <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/farcry2/media.html?sid=6193598&amp;autoplay=6193598">lot of different ways to approach the game</a>: 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 <em>Metal Gear Solid</em> style or run in with guns blazing. It sounds interesting and we hope to hear more as the game nears completion.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/11/far-cry-2-video-interview-discusses-day-night-system/">Far Cry 2 video interview discusses day/night system</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 11 Jul 2008 18:30:00 EST.

<p>The first <em>FarCry</em> 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 <a href="http://blog.ubi.com/farcry2/article.php?content_id=7251">debunked</a> some of the more popular <em>FarCry 2</em> rumors (mutant enemies, PS3 exclusive, et cetera) and basically debunked them, so be sure to check that out too.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/01/24/farcry-2-invites-you-for-a-scenic-view-of-mwanzo/">FarCry 2 invites you for a scenic view of Mwanzo</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 24 Jan 2008 20:00:00 EST.
