New Far Cry 3 Story And Gameplay Details
Update: In addition to reading a description of Ubisoft's demo of Far Cry 3, you can now see screenshots and watch a trailer for the upcoming shooter.
Original Story: Far Cry 3’s trailer began from the first person perspective with a shirtless woman on top of the game’s protagonist, seducing him, and telling him that he is the warrior that will kill Vaas, the game’s terrifying, insane, goateed antagonist. What followed was a series of combat montages that included a bow and arrow, tigers, backstabbing, and lots of explosions.
As the player made his way through a series of enemies, Vaas suddenly appeared from a corner and stabbed the player in the chest. The knife must have contained some kind of hallucinogenic, because what came next was a bizarre drug-infused trip across a series of televisions. At the end of the trail of television, Vaas appeared. He asks the player if he has enjoyed spending time with his sister. Seeing how during the course of the trailer, we have only spent time with one woman, she must be Vaas’ sister. It appears you’re not the only one who wants to see him dead. Even his sister wants to see him dead.
After the trailer, it was revealed that Far Cry 3 will not be made up of one singular island, but rather an entire archipelago, all open for the player to explore. After that more gameplay demonstrated skydiving, hang gliding, and gigantic tornadoes.
