Is set on a tropical island, this time found somewhere at the intersection of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and the story involves rescuing your kidnapped friends from the island's unhinged inhabitants. Having passed four years since Far Cry 2's arrival, Ubisoft has revisited the franchise this holiday season with a third entry that more closely resembles the franchise's 2004 debut. Some gamers heavily criticized those changes, but Far Cry 2 was still positively received and sold well. The title also featured new characters, a fresh setting, a more open world and new gameplay mechanics. Among the most notable changes was the use of a heavily modified version of CryEngine called Dunia. Having been developed by a different studio, Far Cry 2 was considerably different from its predecessor. Nonetheless, Ubisoft (Far Cry's publisher) had no intentions of letting the property fizzle out, and its Montreal outfit released a multi-platform sequel in October 2008.
Designed exclusively for PC, the original Far Cry sold 730,000 copies in the first four months following its March 2004 release and was hailed as one of the best shooters, combining an adventurous plot that followed ex-Army operative Jack Carver's heroic exploits on a mysterious Micronesian archipelago with engaging sandbox combat and some of the period's most advanced graphics courtesy of CryEngine.ĭespite Far Cry's success, Crytek shifted gears to a fresh IP, Crysis, instead of focusing on a follow up to its previous hit - a decision that came at least partly because the studio felt Far Cry's fiction was too restrictive.
