Far Cry: Vengeance
Far Cry: Vengeance is a video game developed and published by Ubisoft for the Wii console. It is a launch title for the Wii in Australia, and it will be released on December 12, 2006 in North America, and December 22, 2006 in Europe. It will be the second M-rated game for the Wii (after Ubisoft's own Splinter Cell: Double Agent).
Development
The game was scheduled to have been unveiled on September 14, 2006 during a Nintendo press conference, but was absent from the event. First details were instead revealed by the VGM Daily Podcast Episode 118 on September 5, 2006.
Gameplay
The game will take full advantage of the Wii Remote and its nunchuck attachment, for example, the player can make the character jump by lifting the latter. It has also been confirmed that aiming weapons will be controlled by pointing the Wii Remote at the screen, and that melee attacks will be carried out by making a slashing motion with it. The zoom on sniper rifles will similarly be controlled by moving the Wii Remote towards the television. Split screen Chaos mode (standard deathmatch) has been confirmed, and Ubisoft is looking into implementing online multiplayer and the use of WiiConnect24 for additional downloads. The popular MapMaker mode, however, has been confirmed to be absent from the Wii version of the game, but could be a possible download from WiiConnect24.
The Wii version will also include exclusive content, such as a new storyline, three new maps, including "Tourist Resort, an abandoned World War II base and a petrol refinery," as well as new weapons that include, among others, the Bull44 large-caliber revolver, the G18 automatic pistol, the MP5 sub-machine gun, the AK-47, and a shotgun.
Plot
The incident at Jacutan Archipelago changed Jack Carver’s life forever. Jack has had little choice but to embrace the disturbing talents unleashed by Krieger’s unique brand of folk medicine. Back at his home port in Micronesia, Jack thought he had finally found paradise. But when a gorgeous woman draws him in on a dangerous heist, their sun-drenched days take a chilling turn. Hunted for a murder he didn’t commit, Jack must draw on his most savage instincts to make his predators his prey for the mysterious Piere the french man is after him.
Far Cry Vengeance is said to be based on Far Cry Instincts: Evolution, but it is currently unknown whether it is the same game with a modified storyline and gameplay or if the storyline is completely different.
