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.

the technology invested in FPS engines and games is amazing, but i wonder if all of it is worth it. i mean the way that map comes up, is that nessecary to the core gameplay of the game.

Hah. Vernon Kay presenting, haven't seen him in a while. Felt like he was a bit out of his element ;).
Game looks great, all stuff we've seen before though. I love the map being a real game object in front of you. Reminds me a bit of Alone in the Darks new system. Not sure which came first.

Fair play Vernon - I know that he is big on gaming, particularly the 360.
Though, I will never forgive him for not accepting my friend request on Xbox live! Damn you and your Bolton accent! :(
As for the game, looks 'tres' pretty. ;)

I love the fact that they've totally eliminated the UI and brought everything to an on-screen real-life representation, like the map feature. Great ideas, looking forward to this game. Instincts was absolutely killer on the Xbox and I can't wait to see what surprises are in store for us while playing. I really hope they keep some sort of the primal powers from Instincts in there, that was such a crazy unique thing the game had.

Instincts was okay, but it was a shell of the original Far Cry on PC (in terms of gameplay mechanics and complexity). Far Cry 2, as per its development philosophy, definitely looks to bring back the glory of the first game, and not in a dumbed-down, consolized or simplified format.

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.

Yes this looks better in gameplay optios vise the Crysis. Burn everybody or use the night to cut some ppl in stealth. Woulde be cool to get vids from each booth , PS3 , 360 and PC version , just to look at them.

GriftGFX is correct, it's the PC version.. The guy says in the end 'console versions are the same as you see on PC here right now'..
Game looks very impressive graphically..

I like the idea of an open world FPS and it looks like the tech is there. But it's so far and away from every version of FC I've ever played, I wonder why they even bother calling it that.
