The original Far Cry at it’s time was a monster of an open sandbox style game, with Far Cry 2 following suit, and upping the ante into a full-on open world event. Â Now in Far Cry 3, the developers claim that the game will feature ‘ ten times the scale of the previous games, which include more dense environments’. Â In a recent interview Jason VandenBerghe went on the record and divulged some of the first details of the game which was revealed just a short while ago at E3 2011.
“Look at the vistas and the scale of Far Cry 1 and 2, take that and multiply it by ten,” he said to Edge. “We want to take that even further — we’re focusing on taking that scale and making it dense, so that around every corner there’s something to find or see. We ask ourselves: if there wasn’t anyone to shoot in the game, could it still be fun?”
Being the narrative director for the game, VandenBerghe had a few other juicy tidbits about how the story will playout in Far Cry 3, touching on “moral choices” that the player will be forced to make throughout the game. Â Stating that ” I want to present the player with intense situations, then I don’t even want to watch what you do. Â That’s not the desiner’s business,” he said.
Far Cry 3 is due out in the first quarter of 2012.
