I'm pretty sure the guy actually says at the end of the video that it's the PC version, but that it's "no different" than the 360 or PS3 versions of the game. I suspect that the only differences will be in image quality, and maybe better texture assets (oh no, I'm gonna get grilled!).. otherwise I'm sure they'll be mostly identical.

Can't wait to see the system requirements. It's quite framey in this video and I can only imagine that they're running on a pretty high end rig.

Yea. :)

Gamespot Hands-On with the 360 Version:

With so much advanced technology at work in Far Cry 2, we were uncertain as to how the team would get everything working on consoles. Would the PS3 and the Xbox 360 be able to replicate the weather effects, the complex physics and enemy AI all while rendering the incredibly detailed African vistas? The answer is yes--and with relatively few sacrifices. Every single feature of the PC version will make it into the console versions intact, and while it won't be rendered in 1080p on either console, it will support 720p display. Seeing the game running, that resolution looks more than sufficient to render the absolutely stunning African environment.

You know which version of the game this is? It looks like it's being controlled with a gamepad, but it doesn't have the 360 buttons appearing on usable item contexts like that gametrailers user video posted in the other FC2 post.

Prolly turned most of the hud off.

Hmmm i was expecting that wooden building to be blown to bits by that rocket launcher, but that didnt happen. But in terms of gameplay and features the console versions will be identical to the PC?

Do they also have the PS3 version demo running? I'd like to see that in action as well.

There's an official video of it and the 360 version up on a few sites, looks identical in the videos.

On snoopers' video, the mirador is not destroyed after being hit by a rocket, whereas it is on pc versions...
I wonder whether we'll really enjoy all the advance physics on the console versions...

Where the hell is the 20 minute demo the developers promised us on Wednesday? And where's some Brothers in Arms footage? This Ubidays event has been shit. :(

The 20 minute demo was promised to the media, not to gamers.

Check out the console version videos on other sites. There's way more destruction physics in this videos than any others...

Eh, I guess so. I sort of assumed they'd be releasing videos as well.

I'm extremely disappointed with Ubidays this year. Last year there was a wealth of footage from their upcoming high profile titles, and this year we've seen a few minutes of gameplay along with a couple trailers. Totally lame. I wanted to see more of Hell's Highway, it's one of their biggest games of the year and all we get is one $%@#ing trailer? Poor move, very poor.

Okay, so what's the deal with finding a way to randomly wipe out some villages? I'm sorry, but it looks and sounds pretty boring to me.
