Far Cry 3

Far Cry 3's Jamie Keen Talks Crazy People, Freedom & Rook Island

Insanity, insanity, insanity... if you've been keeping up with the Far Cry 3 media to date, that's pretty much the central theme of the game and Ubisoft are doing everything in their power to drill that point home.

There's more to Far Cry 3 than that though, Jamie Keen, Lead Game Designer tells us, and it's not just in your face madness either, some of it's subtle. When we caught up with Keen, he told us how Ubisoft Montreal tackled the sequel to Far Cry 2, why they decided to go back to a tropical paradise, and the Lead Game Designer talks about how freedom was very much one of the design goals of the Christmas 2012 title.

If you've not done so already, check out our recent hands-on preview here... we fought a Komodo dragon with a knife, you know! Watch the interview first, of course, you may as well, you're here now... plus, there's plenty of sexy gameplay on offer too.

Far Cry 3 is out November 30th and December 4th in North America and Europe respectively.

Thank You Ubisoft! Finally fast travel and no annoying checkpoints you gotta do over and over and over.
Looking forward to go nuts with this, and a very small tiny bit of me is hoping that the Predator will return to us.
Cheers!

This is gonna be such a great game. I can't wait to play it and i'm very picky when it comes to games. I'm a HUGE RPG fan and i'm loving all the choice they give you. i'm probably going to travel via vehicle 80% of the time and only fast travel when i need ot get somewhere that's across the map.

My bad, i meant to say either "I thought the game was coming out December 4th" or "I thought it was coming out December 4th" I combined the two sentences by accident.

Im glad there is fast travel in this one i mean far cry 2 wasn't too bad with travel to begin with but it became the main part of the game I think trying to do the side missions and the main story meant that half of my time if not more was spent driving so a big thumbs up Ubisoft I really hope that the game turns out really well as i need a really good story compared to CoD's as the story in that isnt really the best

This is still nice and all, but you're still not giving any info on one of the only special points this game has. The mapmaker, and the multiplayer details, FarCry 2 was a massive waste of a great mapmaker, with it's horrible multiplayer, lack of modes and weapon pickups.

Why did they go back to island? Well, title of the game is FAR CRY LOL Still not sold, but sound like a fun way to pass on time if there is nothing else to do, which there is always for me...

Just an awesome game. Glad I didn't missed that :D
