So a few years ago Crytek (the developer for Far Cry) sold all rights and the engine to Ubisoft. So
Ubisoft Montreal is making Far Cry 2 which takes place in Africa now.
Preview here.And some magazine scans.The picture captions the magazine chose to put in there are terrible though.
e.g.
"KA-SPLOSION"
"Their crime? Selling counterfeit Pokemon cards on eBay."
So...this game might have a decent plot (not being made by Crytek). No Jack Carver. None of those big trigens. etc
In short, everything. Far Cry 2 is hugely, impossibly ambitious. It's Stalker gone on safari; it's Boiling Point with a budget.
