E308: Far Cry 2 trailer proves Africa is the hottest new setting for games

by Xav de Matos { Jul 15th 2008 at 8:00AM }

Resident Evil 5 and Far Cry 2 are both Africa bound! Coming soon from Ubisoft Montreal is Far Cry 2. A sequel of sorts, Far Cry 2 takes the name from the original title developed by Crytek and features a new story and world. Taking place in an unnamed part of Africa players can expect a more realistic shooter than the original. If that guarantees we won't be shooting up aliens in the boiling heat then sign us up! Also, check out the briefly flashed-URL that points to the blog of Reuben Monday-Oluwagembi, the personal blog of the journalist narrator from the trailer. Yay! More Alternate Reality Games! Far Cry 2 is set to release this October, the trailer is now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Meh, tbh the game doesn't look that good. I mean it has a nice weather system, but the gunplay looks very clunky..Oh and I love faccry being in nice jungle enviorments, now it's dull africa :'(
No demo too? I'll probably save my money on this one, and save up for "other games" *cough gears of war 2 cough* Unless the game gets fantastic reviews I'm probably going to sadly skip over this title =/
