PS3 - Far Cry 2 - IGN @ GDC 2008: Far Cry 2's Dynamic Story IGN writes: "According to narrative designer Patrick Redding, gameplay revolves around a player walking into towns or environmental spaces and playing two factions against each other. As the 50 square kilometer world is explored, you'll wind up taking on missions for each faction, killing NPCs, and generally affecting the game world, all of which impacts your infamy rating."

PS3 - Far Cry 2 - GDC 2008: Far Cry 2 Gives You Malaria, Deal With It During a lecture on narrative design today, Ubisoft Montreal's Patrick Redding revealed that Far Cry 2's health system is tied to infection. Upon arriving in the game's fictitious African country, the player's character -- the strong, silent type -- is immediately stricken with malaria.

Ubisoft's Patrick Redding called this device the "ultimate mechanical drawback." The disease creates a dependence on medicine ('health packs'), but the pills aren't scattered throughout the plains or hidden inside crates. Instead, medicine can only be obtained from civilians. The developers use this device as one of the game's few "push" designs; otherwise, players control the order and scope of Far Cry 2.

PS3 - Far Cry 2 - Ubi: PS3 Blu-ray And Hard Drive Big Help In Far Cry 2 Development "Far Cry 2 is an upcoming first person shooter that will be put out by Ubisoft on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC next month.

In a recent interview with CVG, Tech Director Dominic Guay talked about the process of developing for PlayStation 3, and he admitted that the Blu-ray was a big perk.

"The hard drive and Blu-ray are making our life easy considering FC2 is an open world continuously streamed around the player," said Guay."

PS3 - Far Cry 2 - Far Cry 2 Devs 'Worried' by PS3... Sony's complex PS3 hardware is a 'nice fit' for Ubisoft's ambitious Far Cry 2 - but developers Ubisoft Montreal admit that compromises have been made. "We were somewhat worried by some of the reported high complexity of developing for the PS3", reveals Tech Director Dominic Guay, "but the raw processing power is impressive".

After a slew of delays, and some unfavourable comparisons between 'identical' Xbox 360 and PS3 ports, it seems developers are finally getting to grips with Sony's machine. "We made sure we had a group of programmers that were not scared by complexity and had a large console programming experience to work on the initial PS3 R&D of Dunia (Far Cry 2's graphics engine). At that point, we didn't know what to expect."

PS3 - Far Cry 2 - Far Cry 2 Details Get Hazy Kotaku reports:

While video games often present a clean and polished atmosphere, Far Cry 2 presents a world that "isn't this clean, sterile, digital representation of Africa." Guns jam and wounds that are left untreated become fatal. As for leveling up your character, that plotline begins to sound a but like Haze.
