Game Engine:
Far Cry 2 will not use CryTek's CryENGINE (from the original game) or CryENGINE2 (which is used in Crysis). Instead, Ubisoft has developed a new engine called Dunia, meaning "world" or "earth" in Arabic, Greek, Persian, Hindi, Urdu, Swahili and Malay languages. The engine will take advantage of multi-core processors and support DirectX 9 as well as DirectX 10. Only 2 or 3 percent of the original CryENGINE code is being re-used, according to Michiel Verheijdt, Senior Product Manager for Ubisoft Netherlands.
Edit : That said, no wonder the Xbox 360 can handle it...


News:
Ubisoft has unsurprisingly decided that Far Cry 2 will not be PC exclusive, but be available on PS3 and Xbox 360 as well.

The game is being put together by its Montreal studio and will run on a fancy new engine built especially for it.

Action this time takes place in Africa, and all three versions are lurking in fiscal 2008 - any time after April this year.

We had previously expected the first-person shooter sequel in the early stretch of 2008, but apparently the success of Assassin's Creed has taken some pressure of the publisher, a little like a chubby person no longer sitting on you.

The original Far Cry was developed by Crysis mastermind Crytek, but the two companies parted ways leaving Ubisoft to acquire full rights to the series in 2006.

No more made by Crytek , ughhh ...

Still , nanosuits FTW

so will crysis come to the xbox? lol

Yes. But a "different" version... one that will take advantage of whatever hardware power is left in the Xbox 360...

Dig it here : http://www.xboxic.com/news/2227

The big news first is the PC game Crysis is coming to the 360. However, that PC game won't be the same game as what we will see on the home console. Because Crysis will be running at DirectX10, the game would look inferior since the 360 can only do DirectX9 (as mentioned before). So, the developers are using the same universe that the PC game is set in, with some similar story elements, but the gameplay will be entirely different. The developers told the 1UP guys that they weren't even going to try and replicate Crysis. This would be because the PC version will be running so much more stuff that the 360 couldn't handle, and would be disappointing. They stated that the game needs to run deeper, with the physics and world needing to be constructed differently.

So there you go... Crysis Xbox 360 does not equal Crysis PC. It's simply a new game set in the Crysis universe.

i wanna wait for this and just cause 2..which it has a klcc look alike but casino..lol..

Enjoy. Imagine the Xbox 360 able to do this.

I think Far Cry was never exclusive for any consoles, PC, u-name-it.
The 1st Far Cry was there for the Xbox360, so i am pretty not surprise that this game will be coming to the 360 and definitely not a PC-Exclusive

R U sure ? Far Cry Xbox 360's quality is nowhere close to the PC version. Far Cry 2 Xbox 360 seem to know how to push the console properly since Far Cry 1 Xbox 360 was merely "an update of the Xbox version".

cryrsis game damn a good game


ops!!!far cry thread

Keep your eyes wide open and your fingers running on the keyboard coz' what I heard there will be a game for the Xbox 360 "set" in the Crysis universe.

woohooo

This is farcry 2. Let's wait for Crysis 2 then we see who out perform.

Far Cry 2 Environmental Teaser

Hmmm....i wonder is there any Malaysian working in this project. The engine name is actually call DUNIA and i don't think it's coincidence, like the Halo 3 acheivement "Askar".

I am looking forward to this, love the first one on pc (xbox version too). Luckily they listen to their fan and take out the monster in the game.

Dunia FTW!

Askar = soldier.. whats the achievement for?

speak malay in an online game

Far Cry 2, Alan Wake and GTA4 are the titles that will break records in 2008 on the Xbox 360...

this is gonna be hot

From the screenshots I can "smell" the fire...

The Far Cry 2 Ubidays 2008 trailer.


Gametrailers

Its coming....

OMG... watch this... looks so damn fun



Dude gets shot, and then another comes over to carry him to safety only to be shot again.

Then, plant an explosive onto a vehicle, cause some ruckus, drive away, then while being chased.... KABOOM !!

Dunia itself isnt a true malay word anyhow, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_Cry_2#Engine

I can't believe it. Isn't anyone excited about this game? Pre-ordered at GH a month ago!

Its among my Top 5 MOST awaited games ever (GTA IV, Alan Wake, etc.)...

Not related, but I 'heard' that PC Gamer UK (PC version, but rest assured similar to Xbox 360) gave the game 94%

Wow.

i hope the pc version wont be so heavy like the crysis

The game looks and plays great. I just can't wait for October 21 ! Finally !!

Will this game be in Malaysia by 21st? Orrrr will i gotta wait a week?

BTW whats the multiplayer on this?

Yes there is multiplayer. I just don't understand why Xbox gamers aren't excited. Its like the video game highlight of 2008...

There are just too many games this year, some of them will slip under the radar...like farcry 2.

Anything Goes Trailer



Money, Diamonds, and Blood Trailer


Very cool indeed, GTA farcry?
I might just get it together with Fable 2 next week...but then no time to play both!

Because it doesn't look that special ? I prefer Crytek who did Far Cry 1 , especially the island setting .

Wow... that's a first. Far Cry 2 will be 'better' than Crysis and WAY BETTER than Far Cry. In fact, I hated the alien shooting part of Far Cry. Far Cry 2 is set in a 'real-world locale' Africa... it is going to be incredible.

And I'm not a big fan of Crytek + Crysis, if you know what I mean.

Yea , alot of gamers complaint about the alien part in Far Cry , I myself thought it was quite ridiculous also .

However , I don't know , I really liked beaches and beautiful waters instead of safari-like lush world , maybe that's just preference .

Although I said that it's wouldn't be that special , but I believe it could easily land on the good shooter region .

fuyohhh damn tempting. I hope it's very realistic that i dont have to shoot the enemy with 10 bullets before he die.

Eric like to blow water, that's why like far cry/crysis


Seems realistic enough, the ai also looks pretty smart

That said, still cant decide wether to get this for PC or 360

Wow! Near perfect scores from magazine and Official Xbox Magazine !

I heard that the game "surpassed expectations!"...

Jackal Trailer


An old trailer with awesome music (which was used in Black Hawk Down too)



Buy next week or later?

Cevat will not having a nice sleep after this huhuhuhu
Crysis a lot of bug anyway..hope Farcry II will not
Anyway I'm goin for PC wagon for this.Keyboard and Mouse freak here

Aww... just get the 360 version! Pop the disc and play! No worries... Forget PC...

I can't wait !!! The early reception reminds me of GTA IV !

btw, Cevat can kiss my ***

will the console version release first or the pc version 1st if my pc can handle superb even crysis also just so so the frame rate,the developers make game ahead of the hardware capability.

this month i will cry far too.... no money, too many games.

hope my 4870 can keep descent frame rates for far cry2 if not i cry also huhuhuhuhu

Heard that FC2 will benefit from dual or quad-core processor

lol offtopic abit

darn ... dunno which one to play first....my wife is going to be pissed off on the next 2 months..haih

Xbox 360 gamers don't have to worry one bit. The game developers have assured console gamers the performance/graphics are comparably the same to the PC. And that's why I love them and not Crytek.

Pop disc. Play.



Whatever... the Xbox 360 console is the platform for gaming.


add: Alan Wake will have same PC vs 360 rants, but I tell you, they will be comparably the same.

Someone in my list already playing hmmm?

sure ahem version or DL version...=.=

since 18 oct got pplz upload the game at blablabla forum...

wtf sial...=.=

buy the box set better..can hug them while sleeping huhuhu
Download can only hug the thin cd..fake sum more hahaha...no good

... OMG... its October 21... perhaps in the next few days... I will get the call...

the call from Gamer's Hideout... that the game...

has arrived!

it's 22nd already...

While watching ed1001, playing far cry 2. It looks great for me.

infact much better then far cry 1 I can say

but too bad I haven't really try it out yet.

all took back and play..

graphic is superb.. i havent played a mission yet, only finished training. driving around with car,looking for african animal..but got nothin lar..only ppl shoot at me. LOL.

Its funny isn't it. I waited for such a long time for this game, it arrives, and I can't get it - - too busy to get to GH. End of the week perhaps.

"...I am going to kick The Jackal's a** hard..."

Every single review gives this game an insanely high score...

So I guess the wait is worthwhile. Those playing already... come on, write a short review of the experience thus far...
