Nope Far Cry is actually going back to its roots in a sense whereas Crysis made the worst possible departure locale-wise.

Far Cry also garnered a lot more attention and got a better reception at E3 2011 than Crysis 2 did at E3 2010. Even the guy who presented Far Cry 3 (forgot his name) actually played into the lore well himself. The game has this brilliant mysterious feel to it. I personally think its going to be one of the best games we see this gen, along with others in 2012. It actually seems 2012 could finally be the generations peak

Although I agreed, I personally wouldn't call it a terrible game. It had some very serious flaws yes, and even a rather problematic (though easily fixable) game breaker. I personally thought the game was only a few codes from being fantastic.

1.No respawning guard camps
2.Wear and tear on cars/boats and guns reduced.
3.No malaria or a more bearable system like double the pills per go.
4.Dangerous animal AI including natural selection with increased animal spawn and variety
5.Enemy AI threat detection range decreased and threat direction detection improved

I admit its not exactly a short list, but such things are not that hard to achieve

I agreed with you, as i had alot of fun with the map editor. The free roaming in the african jungles was amazing. But hated it how enemies spawn from nowhere and give you chase and how do they spot me from a mile away, in dense vegetation and pin point me right after i fire one sniper shot lol

I gave up because the AI would be in the thick ass foliage and shoot you up without you being able to see them. Also, EVERY 5 SECONDS, a buggy with a gunner (usually two buggies with a gunner) will ambush you and blow up your car. I don't know how many times I'd have to run from the AI's pinpoint accuracy. Then have my gun die on me.... :(

Crytek need to worry about CryEngine 2 and 3. Don't get me wrong they look fantastic, But considering both are integral PC FPS games you would expect the engines to have been more stable.

Its rather sad that the amount of engines with stability problems has increased so drastically actually in one gen of consoles. I can't speak for too many PC games of old, but from what I remember, if you were getting 60FPS, you didn't drop to 15-20 just because of the game

Point taken.

I'm just going by Far Cry 2 which didn't have any monsters or aliens and I think if FC3 had any it might have been shown in the trailer.

Regardless, That trailer of Far Cry 3 was amazing and the best thing I've seen at E3.

Far Cry 3 looks like Far Cry 2 if that makes sense.

It doesn't. I mean it looks more like a proper sequel to the original.

Does that include Far Cry Instincts and Predator? I'm thinking of picking that game up for the 360 possibly. I like Far cry 2 a lot, but only for the open world. The campaign is pointless to me.
