I was not expecting much from this sequel as it is not being made by Crytek who made the original, and thought it would just be a cashin, but after seeing the demo video I am looking forward to it.

Firstly and most importantly no Trigens or any other mutants.
The basic layout is a large African jungle/savanha and freedom to go anywhere and do missions in any order.
But it is the smaller things that are really promising, like there are no health packs, so if you are shot you must pull the bullet out or if you are burning you must put the flames out. On the subject of flames, it features a flame thrower weapon, which once you set fire to trees, foilage etc, the fire will spread in the direction the wind is blowing.

I now keeping an eye on this game.

looks impressive. let's hope they can pull off everything they say. not sure about the 24hr day/night cycle. he said if you wanted to take an enemy camp you could do it day or night. to be honest i don't fancy leaving my 360 on for 9 hours until the game cycles to night time.

i'd also like to see how freeform this missions are. there's a fine line between a game giving you lots of freedom to do missions etc, but at the expense of the storyline-if you can do any mission any time then how does the story progress?

nevertheless we'll hear more about it before it comes out spring next year.

please say that was a joke!

i'm sure they'll have an option to set up camp and "sleep" for a while anyway. re: the medpack thing, we'll see how real they get. they didn't mention anything about food, and that was done how long back with snake eater. maybe they'll let you hunt on the plains?

Right, I think we all need to recalibrate (and maybe dust off) our Irony-O-Meters(tm) and Sarcast-O-Detectors®.

We shouldn't need smilies to denote piss-takes.

thing is, there is a difference between obvious piss takes and people who generally only know one point of view. and one person's "i was obviously taking the piss" may not look the same way to other people.

i think we should all just keep arguing!

But seriously, I would say this the same if he were here, the way 4thie reacted to the way i posted with his self-righteous rhetoric about he intentionally posted like that to get a rise out of morons like me was really what pissed me off.

I don't think we're as biased as he says (how much anti-360 talk was there at launch/months and months after launch?!)- just because i don't have good words to say about an expensive bundle of technology that has fuck all good to show for your money at the moment doesn't mean i hate the console forever.

anyway, let's keep this from flowing into ALL the other threads!


On a side note, i've been playing FC Instincts Predator from the beginning again and i've got far more patience with it than i had before. Is the game quite long or am i just moving really slowly? I've only just stolen a jeep from the camp and crashed on the bridge, no mutants yet...
