Although Far Cry for the PC was one of the most punctual titles to grace our screens, the console version is continually troubled by delays. Ubisoft announced that Far Cry Instincts will ship for consoles in September 2005. Based on the original PC game, released in 2004, Far Cry Instincts is a technically advanced gaming experience built from the ground up using similar technology to that used for the creation of the PC title. A hands-on demo of Far Cry Instincts will be present at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 18th May - 20th May in Los Angeles, California.
Just as Far Cry redefined the First-Person Shooter genre for the PC, Far Cry Instincts will take things a step further with its wide open environments and unique immersive gameplay elements. Developed by Ubisoft's renowned Montreal studio, Far Cry Instincts takes the PC version's signature locations, Full-Action Response A.I. (F.A.R. concept), and unprecedented view-distance, and combines them with improved gameplay scenarios that will challenge players to utilise an even broader range of strategies and survival tactics to uncover the many secrets within the beautiful, but deadly islands.
