FarCry Instincts (Review)

Dec 21, 2006

While still clearly a big success, a lot of folks would probably agree that the PC version of the first-person shooter FarCry was less a great game and more a great tech demo. This was thanks mostly to lush visuals and massive, go-virtually-anywhere levels that often far overshadowed the gameplay itself. It's no surprise then that this console-only, enhanced port actually feels like the better game, thanks to a number of tweaks that remind players that you're not here to gawk at the scenery - ...

Far Cry Instincts (Review)

Sep 30, 2005

It's claimed that whatever you say to a Frenchman, he will translate it into his own language, and forthwith into something entirely different. Ubisoft Montreal's artistic, novel and moving interpretation of Far Cry is a particularly French, suitably transformed experience. Even if its technical handicaps are clear, what it achieves with the palette at its disposal is astounding. Instincts' lower resolution textures, sporadic pop-up, cruder characters and jagged shadows are all clearly defined ...

Far Cry Instincts (Preview)

Jul 22, 2005

In development for over 90 years, the good news is it's looking more and more likely that the long wait for Far Cry Instincts is going to be worthwhile. An extensive hands-on with the game at E3 proved once and for all that this is no mere PC conversion. Ubisoft has virtually created a new game from the ground up, retaining the basics that made the PC original so brilliant but adding a shiny freshness to every aspect of the experience.Far Cry Instincts gives us new moves (including a sneaky ...

Far Cry Instincts Xbox only (News)

Jun 29, 2005

French publisher Ubisoft has today announced that Far Cry Instincts will be exclusive to Xbox. The console spin-off of the PC-only original was expected to make its way on to both Xbox and PS2, however today's news flatly confirms otherwise. Problems in getting the game to run on the ill-equipped PS2 hardware is the most likely reason for the version being canned, however Ubisoft is currently unavailable for comment. Far Cry Instincts is due for release on Xbox this ...

Far Cry Instincts hands-on (News)

May 12, 2005

There's always a worry when something is ported from PC to console. Tailoring a PC game to a format that is limited by its inability to be upgraded with new graphics cards and memory invariably means things will either be scaled-down or removed entirely. But, from our test, Far Cry seems to be fairing very well indeed. Anyone who's been enviously eyeing high-spec PC owners over this game can rest assured everything's almost as bright and smooth as the PC version. It really is quite impressive ...

Far Cry Instincts surprises (News)

Dec 8, 2004

The original Far Cry was so beautiful it could make you sob - and your PC weep. For a whole atoll of islands stretched across the shining blue sea, from the screen of your monitor to beyond the limits of your graphics card. It was the perfect holiday destination, so long as you packed an AMD 64 with the AK47 and factor 25. So to make Instincts fit on the consoles, Ubisoft have been forced to rebuild Crytek's masterwork from the ground up. But, instead of just replicating and reducing the code ...

Far Cry Instincts coming to PS2 (News)

Ubi Soft have shifted the tentative release date for Far Cry Instincts from the end of 2004 to the first quarter of 2005 while the bigger and better news is that the game will now also make it on to PS2 in addition to Xbox. Far Cry impressed on PC and we expect this reworked console adaptation to perform just as well, if not better.The game isn't a simple port of Far Cry but includes major new gameplay mechanics, among other changes. Our when we saw it in action recently were very favourable ...

Far Cry: Instincts - Far Cry on your Xbox and more... (News)

May 12, 2004

We managed to get up close and personal with art director Christian Bedard and his new baby Far Cry: Instincts for Xbox. The recently released Far Cry is a top class PC first-person shooter miles ahead of what you could hope to see running on Xbox. Yet, seeing Instincts doing its thing on Xbox, even at this early code stage, is a real treat.Two facts underscore that this isn't a quickly knocked-out Far Cry mark II. For one, it's not a straight port (memory constraints wouldn't allow for that, ...
