What Makes Far Cry 3 One Of The Year's Most Exciting Releases

In the latest issue of Game Informer (that you can read digitally here) senior associate editor Jeff Cork wrote a massive feature on the upcoming release of Far Cry 3 from Ubisoft. As a newcomer to the series, all that associate editor Tim Turi knew was that Jeff was incredibly excited for the game's December release. In  the video below, Tim tries to figure out why.

  • already pre-ordered. My body is ready for this game...
  • I don't know, you tell me.

  • Far Cry 2 was amazing, hopefully 3 will be just as good, or even surpass 2. Cant wait for December 4!
  • GOTY...for me!
  • yea, i'm definitely most excited about this game out of the other ones coming out this year (2012 not going into 2013) i didn't buy halo 4 because i wouldn't have had the money for this, and i'm a pretty big halo fan

  • I've been debating for a while now on whether this is going to be a day 1 purchase. Really excited for this game.
  • Time will tell. My first impression was that this looked pretty mediocre. I like some of the things I see here. I was still so shocked when the devs of Far Cry 2 ditched what I felt was the core concept in the original Far Cry - the animal inside. To me, that's what made the game fun. I understand that FC3 largely keeps with the "standard human" concept. Yeah, you can make the game look all pretty and everything, but if the gameplay isn't there, what's the point? As I said, time will tell.
  • Local multiplayer? Local Co-op?
  • I wanna see a video about the map editor.
  • Staff
    Far Cry 3 is really an amazing game. I hope gamers don't overlook it!
  • Honestly, and surprisingly enough- I do believe Far Cry 3 is now my most anticipated game of the year. I'll purchase it regardless of score, but if it doesn't at least get a 9.0- I'll be semi disappointed that Ubi didn't take full advantage of the colossal world they're creating... ;-)

  • Day one purchase for me

  • Just finished pre-ordering it. Someone call an asylum 'cuz I'm about to go insane.

  • Passed on Black Ops 2 for this game... I think it was a wise choice.
  • Pre-ordered the insanity edition of it, can't wait to get it. Out of all the games this year, this one caught my eye the most.

  • Jazzed for Far Cry 3! loved all the Far crys....yes even Far Cry 2

  • This game looks simply amazing, I really enjoyed Far Cry 2, and this one looks trounce it in every way

  • couple more weeks kids!

  • Looks a lot better than Far Cry 2.
