Far Cry 3 - New trailer gets extra trippy (but still has explosions and stabbing)

Be careful eating strange island mushrooms when you're killing people

Words: Henry Gilbert on March 21, 2012

Far Cry 3 looks better and better every time we see it. This most recent one delves into the trippier side of the tropical island, as we meet Dr Earnhardt and his colorful pills. But just because the hero takes some psychedelic drugs in the video doesn't mean the game becomes a hippie love-in. Instead you'll notice that FC3's bodycount keeps growing after our protagonist takes his special medicine from Dr Earnhardt:

Far Cry 3 comes out on 360, PS3 and PC September 4 and September 7 in Europe.

The doctor seems pretty cool, just hope he doesn't die during the game

Flamethrower AND hang-glider? HELL YEH! This game looks better every time. I like the Lord of the Flies references too, they seem apt.

Oh god please let there be a decent multiplayer so we can put that freaking amazing map maker from 2 to good use.

Very good trailer but what is up with the water? It looks horrible quite frankly which is strange because it was sexy in the last trailer. What happened?

Just as long as I don't have to keep poppin' these things (like those damn malaria pills), I'm fine with it.

This has what I always thought was missing in previous Far Cry installments: lots and lots of hallucinogens.

I'm 100% sure I heard the death screams somewhere else... Does anyone know?

Looks like this is Ubisoft's way of bringing "Predator" back into Far Cry

Nice looking water, chances are I'm never going to go swimming in that game now due to sharks though.

As a PC player I worry about Ubisoft DRM, if the DRM isnt insane to the max, I'm so buying this day one.

You have to hand it to Ubisoft though, their heavy DRM which so penalises legitimate users means their games are not available for illegal download. I'm pretty sure about that. Give me a moment and I'll check with Google. OH. Oh dear. Once again the pirates get the very best version of the game....
