Official Statement

In Far Cry, players find themselves abducted and taken to a group of beautiful islands in Polynesia complete with sun, sea, sand and... sub-machineguns! The game's unlikely hero soon finds himself fighting for survival against highly trained and heavily armed opponents, while becoming ever more embroiled in a deeper conspiracy.

"With Far Cry, Crytek will enter into a new dimension of the FPS Genre. With more tactical elements and far advanced AI, Far Cry will give players a completely new feeling of gameplay," said Faruk Yerli, chief marketing officer, Crytek.

General Information
Utilizing the new CryENGINE, Far Cry is hoping to make a name for itself with its lush visuals and action-packed gameplay. Taking advantage of the engine's 'polybump' technology, expansive and highly-detailed areas will be the standard, rather than the exception.

Developed by Crytek, Far Cry is looking to take the first-person shooter into a whole new realm with advanced A.I. and the inclusion of the ever-so-popular tactical elements. Taking place in more tropical locales, the new engine looks to do more than just pump out luscious screenshots by providing the rich detail needed to bring such environments to life. It's this enriching atmosphere that Crytek is banking on to keep this title from becoming a flash in the pan. While the graphics are being emphasized, it will be more interesting to see how the tactical elements evolve and just how well they are implemented.

Set around 2020, there seems to be plenty of room for the developers' imaginations to run wild. As our lone hero fights his way across islands, he faces the evil menace of a man trying to play God. Getting to the bottom of things won't be easy though; mercenaries, secret government projects, and renegade scientists will all have their hands in what's going down. Set to come out on PC, Xbox, PlayStation 2, and the GameCube, Far Cry should entice action fans to lock and load in late 2003.
