If players have been keeping up with the Jason/Vass dynamic within Ubisoft Montreal’s Far Cry series, then they’ll know that playing side-by-side with someone is not typical. Occasionally there will be that person or persons to help in a mission, but for the most part, it’s a story of solidarity and revenge.
Yet during Sony’s Press Conference on Monday, the world got its first glimpse at what 4-player co-op will look like in the upcoming Far Cry 3. Sticking to its own tailored campaign, four players are tasked with certain objectives such as clearing out a camp, setting a bomb, or fixing a bridge. The purpose: to hunt down and exact revenge on a ship captain who left the four characters stranded.
There’s still little to be said about how this will play into the game’s story as a whole – or even if it will. The one clear piece of information is that it changes the dynamic of the game. It’s going to take some serious planning and execution to make it feel right, especially when there is such a clearly defined story already in place between Far Cry 2 and soon-to-be Far Cry 3.
Also during the conference, Ubisoft Producer Dan Hay let slip that there will be Sony “exclusive DLC” for Far Cry 3, yet no other details beside that. With the emphasis on the new cooperative side of things, it’s likely that the new DLC with cater to that part of the game, be it through new maps, customizable skins, or other goodies.
Unfortunately, it’s all speculation and theory now and we’ll just have to wait and see what Ubisoft has planned for its upcoming shooter. Do you think the new addition is worth it, or is it rather “fixing what isn’t broken?” As always, tell us what you’re thinking.
Far Cry 3 is set to release September 9th for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

i wonder if it will be strictly co-op only b/c what i really liked about vendettas in the darkness 2 is that you can play the vendetta story with or without other people, which was good b/c i cbf buying membership to play with a bunch of moronic kids that dont understand how to play strategically or to listen to others advice.
i guarantee that the captain is vaas and that he planned on hiring these 4 to help with his island take over b/c the live gameplay preview showed the 4 guys on the island blowing up bridges and taking out vaas’ men. i suppose we will find out in due time
Lol screw ps3, like seriously playstation, blows, why do they always get the good dlc for games?? Why is it sony takes away all of xboxs exclusives?? Because the games thuat sony make all suck! So they have to feed off of the games microsoft creates. PATHETIC.
Dude instead of flaming Sony for the great work they do.
Remeber that all CoD, Bethesda Games and more always gets a DLC exclusively like 2 months before Xbox does.
Besides PS3 is a more powerful console and it deserves so much better
One man Farcry is not a xbox exclusive it was first on PC then it worked its way to the xbox
Sony is easily worse then EA. These guys cant even get their security systems to work right. There are STILL accounts on psn that are being stolen by hackers and the top dogas at sony do NOTHING to help us gamers. All they do is sit b ack, laugh and steal more of microsofts games. Sony is such a failure.
Fanboy alert. Trolling has no place on GR. Go back to ign.
Your an idiot.
co-op red dead redemption undead nightmare was cool. hears an idea for you all at ubisoft. undead pirates from the 1700′s would bring a horror element of insanity to the tabble. People who like this game also play left for dead. The undead overrun mode was also co-op 4 player as well.
In far cry 3′s coop, please allow us to use user made maps for co op with basic regulations. It would be cool to have enemy wave spawn pionts that randumly exicute by location. undead pirates of the 1700′s would be very cool to add as a DLC of some kind, maybe created on the side after launch of far cry 3. I would pay for this. Imagine, you make a map and then place pirate horde spawn locations where human players can battle it out against waves of pirates zombies. Adding special pirates of the old ages that would appear as larger brut enemies to take down while conducting team play elements amung your teammates like reviveing an battle crys….pirates like Blackbeard or Davy jones and many others that would play a roll in the horror insanity, for an example. This is what i think would sell big time……trust me. The island of insanity can go back to that time in world history of brutal pirates making their way into the new age of open world shooter survival games. “UNDEAD PIRATES” with a far cry feel would be KILLER to add as a new mode in CO-OP. This is what i have been thinking. Thank you for reading this and I hope you all take this in consiteration. GamerTag…DeathBekomezYou-XBOX360player.
I like the concept of co-op. I like four buddies going at a common goal together. I like the more immediate and in-depth feel of multiplayer in console based games… But this doesn’t work. It really just doesn’t look compelling. Tacked on. Like COD’s Spec Ops Co-Op. Not that I should even worry about it; I’m a 360 gamer…
How about NO exclusive DLC guys?
Why… Why are you doing this? Why no bring it to everybody? It makes me so sad to see this happening to the industry, with no signs of slowing down.
Ikr, I’m a PC player and this really sux for me/us :/
microsoft beats EA on everything. this all cry is silly, when x360 gets exclusives i dont see anybody saying nothing about it, then it explodes on their faces and now its a problem. double standards? how sony is worse? maaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn microsoft spent time from country to country courts paying massive ammounts for their “exemplar bussiness behaviour” (if you got the sarcasm) so its sony that bad? or EA ? LMAOOOOO…….
