A snippet of news, this time not coming out of Gamescom is that Far Cry 3, the successor to Far Cry 2 is in development. The project is in its infancy but word has it that the game is likely to remain in pseudo-Africa.
In an interview with a Offical Playstation Magazine, one of the Ubisoft scriptwriters said that the game is looking “pretty exciting.â€
It’s likely that the game will run off a modernised/modified version of the Dunia Engine which was specifically designed to handle the vast real-world physics within the sandbox envoronment.
This is pretty exciting news, if Ubistoft Montreal can learn and build off the shortcomings of Far Cry 2 then Far Cry 3 could land up being what Far Cry 2 was meant to be.
No official word but I’m sure it is safe to assume that Far Cry 3 will come to the PC, PS3 and 360.

OMG say hello to the Olympics of Africa! I’m still tired of all the running/driving through Africa with enemies respawning and roadblock!
I’ll skip this one!

far Cry 2 was a perfect example of how NOT to do a sandbox game. Tedious and boring don’t even begin to describe…

I am one of the few who enjoyed it. The respawning of enemies did not bother me. I would love it if they bring in hunting elements like RDR.

Lets hope they look at all the problems with Far Cry 2 and fix them for This game.
