A friend linked me to the promo video of Farcry3 this morning, and damn does it look good!

Yes, it looks like a pre-rendered video, but I am impressed nonetheless with the visual style and story hints. The shaky cam throughout the video puts me in mind of some of the scenes in dawn of the dead (the remake) and Cloverfield.

Hopefully it will live up to the hype, but as Farcry1 and Farcry2 have shown, Crytek have a great track history in pushing the boundaries of technology (they were one of the first software development companies to make good use of SSAO, etc).

Anyway, Video is here:

I have preordered already :F.
