Ubisoft has unveiled Far Cry 3 during its press conference. First screens of the game inside. Update: E3 walkthrough (LQ) added. Update2: HQ demo added.
Love that they're sticking with the heart of darkness vibe from Far Cry 2, but bringing back the jungle from Far Cry 1. Blew me away more than Battlefield 3.
Wow, this is the best news of E3 yet! I loved the original FC, but wasn't a fan of the second. This almost looks like a remake of the orginal. Brutal and gorgeous, and looks to keep the hand-holding to a minimum. Cannot wait!!
BTW, just noticed something, WTF is up with showing points after you kill enemies? I hope that is toggle-able. Nothing kills the immersion of sneaking up and taking out an enemy in the fog like a giant flashing +15!!!! over his head. Is this a score based game or something.
I hope the console version has a map editor included like FC2. That is what made that game for me. Awesome map editor!! hopefully FC3 will have one. (improved)

highly doubtful when you look at the profitering aspects ther FPS's have flourished in.
ZOMFG FINALLY totally loved second game, it's realism, it's freedom, destruction everywhere, unlike this shit crysis-2. FC3 definitely one of top 3 of my waiting list if they make it more like second than first.
And its the Xbox360 version... wait for enhaced pc graphics... :) (if you're asking why about I say that it's 360, during gameplay appears the image of the "A" button... unless its a button from Wii2, it seems to be a xbox gameplay)
(Talking about gameplay, I doubt that the pictures are taken from a console version...)

I wonder why the A button was grey and not green like it should be if it was the 360 version.
far cry 2 looked awsome when they demo's that too, and look how that turned out (most boring FPS in existence) so i'll reserve judgement on this one atm. footage looked good tho. just hope there is no maleria mechanics, or driving for 5 hours between locations mechanics, or any weapon degrading mechanics, or any repetative missions, or any samey environments with nothing to do...well, you get the picture. i just dont want it to be like far cry 2.

Looks more like Far Cry 1 than 2 to me.
looks wise, yes, it's set on a tropical island, that's kinda obvious, but it's developed by ubisoft, so it has a far higher chance of failure. again, just look what they did with far cry 2.
