The newest Uwe Boll game to movie title will be released only in German cinemas (on October 2nd). So those in the US who have been looking forward to seeing this movie in the cinemas are out of luck. For those who don’t know Far Cry it’s a game from a few years ago with a second game sequel coming out this year. The first was set on a tropical island so naturally Boll’s movie was filmed in Vancouver. If you can’t see the similarities between Vancouver and a tropical island you need help, seriously, take a pill or something.
The good things that might bring in some cash is that the film stars the extremely talented Emmanuelle Vaugier from Need for Speed: Carbon, Smallville, CSI: NY, Two and a Half Men. The other great thing is the fantastic television host Anthony Bourdain who did a quick cameo in the movie as a scientist being shot while filming his show No Reservations when it visited Vancouver. These two plus points alone make the movie worth watching so if it’s not a buy when it comes out on DVD it should be at least a rent for fans of the two. A link to the Bourdain clip’s making-of video can be found below.

Wow, it seems like only yesterday I brought you the news of Ubisoft Montreal announcing Far Cry 2. With that game coming close to release now, Ubisoft Montreal goes further to announce another addition to the franchise. No, it’s not the Far Cry: Africa Pet Zoo for the DS, it’s a full-fledged Far Cry 3.
Announced at Leipzig, it has been confirmed that the game will be set in Africa. Ubisoft Montreal seems to be keen on boosting African tourism industries with their repeated interest in African wildlife and the promise it holds. I agree with that, too: you can only fight so much in Normandy! Still, I was expecting a Far Cry set in, say, an East European urban setting, or maybe the Great Wall of China or someplace equally exotic.
The team has made a commitment to Africa, supposedly, but shows interest in the Antarctic setting as well, which would be totally cool in my opinion, no pun intended. They also admit that the Africa setting will save time. Hmm.
The game will use the same engine as Far Cry 2 and we don’t have any more details on it, as usual. Suffice to say, it’ll involve lots of exotic, open-world, instinct-based action. Crytek is, as usual, out of the picture, probably too busy working on Crysis 2 or some such.
