A lot of fantastic video games are coming this fall, among them Far Cry 2. As a confessed map editor freak-of-nature with the last Far Cry, I can in all seriousness tell you that after seeing what Far Cry 2’s map editor looks like, I am going to lose sleep, get in big trouble with Wifey, and set a bad example for my kids when this game drops this Fall.
Just watch… (video and more after the jump.)
HOLY….. peanut butter…… crackers.
Over 1000 objects? Weather controls? Texture editors? This isn’t a video game… It’s a GOD simulator!
If you think I’m kidding, just wait until this Fall when I disappear for weeks at a time, popping up only here and there to get people to come and play my maps. I spent a huge chunk of my 32nd year on Earth in the original Far Cry editor stacking cargo containers in water until I’d built a freighter, or recreating 2fort from the original Team Fortress using walkways. Given this amount of control, I just might hurt myself and the ones I love.
Wifey has learned to be pretty tolerant of my gaming. I sure hope it holds up.
Wifey or Far Cry 2….. Far Cry 2 or Wifey.
Let’s just cross that bridge when we get to it.

OMG…THATS the reason why they replace the 20GB HDD with a 60GB unit
I think I personally would pay 60bucks just for that editor

Wow..that looks truely amazing.
I cant wait for this to come out.
Had a question though, is it possible to add NPCs to the maps you create and play them out?
i never played Far Cry, so not really sure on what is possible.

Damn, now I want this just for the editor. Why’d I have to watch that video?
Also, why are games that let you create your own content all of a sudden being compared to Little Big Planet? What’d we compare them to before LBP? LEGO?

Wow, thats amazing that it works on the 360. I wonder how easy it will be to bring in your own 3d objects on the PC side.
19 teh dude // Aug 25, 2008 at 12:05 am
web design, if that were possible, this game would literally make BILLIONS of dollars just from people wanting the map editor. One feature I hope there is is rotating on a z scale, like up and down, so you can put a crate upside down if you want. That would give so many more possibilities.
