Talk:Far Cry 3

Yaay, Frank and his amazing collection of exploding rust will ride again. :D Evil Tim 07:42, 7 June 2011 (CDT)

From what I saw in the demo at E3 (I watched Microsoft's press conference live yesterday), it looks like this game will be set on an island like the earlier games in the series. Frankly I'm surprised no one had beat me to the punch and made a page for the game already. Orca1 9904 07:59, 7 June 2011 (CDT)

I'd heard of it being in development, but I wasn't aware there was any actual footage of weapons in it yet. I guess I'll have to start saving for another PC and set aside 40 or so hours to screencap it like last time. Evil Tim 08:05, 7 June 2011 (CDT)

Here's an "insane" walkthrough video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lXHmWRziHA Orca1 9904 09:26, 7 June 2011 (CDT)

Waaaaaaiiiit a minute...I see a crashed Zero, ancient ruins, and they're talking about this island's "dark secret." Looks like this is going to be an actual sequel to Far Cry. Evil Tim 07:39, 8 June 2011 (CDT)

Loved the first game, so I hope it will awesome. :) - Mr. Wolf 12:47, 11 June 2011 (CDT)

AK

The AK has a muzzlebrake, but the mag looks like a 7.62mm mag instead of the straighter 5.45mm mag. --Funkychinaman 10:32, 7 June 2011 (CDT)

If you watch the video, you'll notice that all the features of the weapon except the magazine match the AK-74 (handguard & stock, receiver cover, muzzle brake, front sight assembly), with the magazine being the only part that doesn't match. Orca1 9904 10:42, 7 June 2011 (CDT)

Dang DinoHunter2! You did EXACTLY what I was going to do, I was considering changing it to a AK-103 like half a hour ago and the description change is the same as I was thinking, good job! :D - Mr. Wolf 21:23, 16 June 2011 (CDT)

You're welcome Mr. Wolf :D - DinoHunter2 18:18, 28 June 2011 (CDT)

Pistol

It's a modern 1911 with a under-barrel rail. - Mr. Wolf 12:21, 7 June 2011 (CDT)

Never mind, I was too slow. :P - Mr. Wolf 12:23, 7 June 2011 (CDT)

YEY! Finally a Kimber in a game! I'm looking forward to this game regardless now :D --cool-breeze 20:47, 7 June 2011 (CDT)

SVD?

An alternate demo walkthrough features what looks to be an SVD or one of its derivatives. Anyone care to give this video a look? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_9fsXPNs34

On a side note, the same video confirms the M67 in game. The throwing animation is actually kinda cool, as you see the spoon being released before the grenade is thrown.

• Looks like an actual Dragunov, it's got that bend in the safety lever that the Romak doesn't have, and it looks like they've given it the right handguard and no X stamping on the magazine this time. Of course it's a lefty Dragonuv, but I think that's to be expected. Evil Tim 02:20, 11 June 2011 (CDT)

Maybe it's the Far Cry 2 model with a new texture, that might explain why it's a lefty gun, hope that changes in the final game, the other guns are righty guns. :( - Mr. Wolf 12:51, 11 June 2011 (CDT)

Also, in both that video and the one I posted above, the Blackhawk helicopter the player hijacks is shot down by what appears to be some kind of rocket launcher. You can't see the guy firing it clearly, and I only saw a split-second glimpse of the rocket milliseconds before it strikes the aircraft, but I think it's possibly an RPG-7 or Type 69. I don't want to add it to the page until more concrete proof is found though. Orca1 9904 09:32, 11 June 2011 (CDT)

Here is a image of the rocket launcher:

Definitely a RPG-7/Type 69, most likely a RPG-7. - Mr. Wolf 15:42, 11 June 2011 (CDT)

Will brass fly left still?

I'm wondering if these guns will be like the previous game and have the brass eject left Excalibur01 23:49, 11 June 2011 (CDT)

• Well, so far the AK and Kimber look like they're right-handed and only the SVD looks like it's a lefty model. Now, interestingly, I'd heard that the developers had seen our Far Cry 2 page (some podcast or other had a guy saying some guy on the team, I think the director, had pointed him to it) and it's actually looking like they took note: for example, they've fixed the handguard of the SVD, the magazine, the scope now fills the screen to avoid that issue where the area outside the scope was zoomed in too, the reticle now has the numbers on it (though it's missing the lower line of the rangefinder and the 1.7, and has one too many chevrons), and he holds it at the hip like the stock's under his arm rather than inserted partway into his shoulder.

Recent news

I've heard from the UK Official PS3 Magazine that the game world is supposedly going to be ten times the size of the world in Far Cry 2. To be honest, this doesn't exactly fill me with confidence; one of the biggest problems with FC2 was the size of the world seemed to have been decided in some board meeting before they had a single idea down as to what they were going to put in all that space. The result was a game that had you going five miles from A to B simply because they wanted you to see all the effort they'd put into the huge map. It can be done (see Just Cause 2) but it makes me nervous hearing they're on "look at how big our map is" rather than "we have so many great ideas the map has to be at least this big."
