I recently had the opportunity to duck over to the USA and preview the anticipated Far Cry, currently being developed by German studio
Crytek. The press event consisted of some hands-on time, which gave me an opportunity to check out both the single player and multiplayer facets of the game. I also got the chance to chat to some of the developers, which was great - they're all extremely into their game and were really fun to talk to.
Check out the first part of the two-part preview now
on GameArena, along with some
new screenshots that were released for the event. The second part of the preview (looking at multiplayer, the editor and more) will be up later in the week.
Update: Part 2 is now up, featuring information about vehicles, multiplayer, and more.

And believe me, it plays as good as it looks - the only thing missing is Catorina Rowntree in a skimpy bikini!! ;)

I can forsee a sort of hobbyist modding industry coming up soon for plants and scenery. Considering how complex the games are getting I reckon you won't just have modders who do levels or player models, you'll have people who do a nice palm tree, or the dude who modelled the orchids and staghorns for the Daintree Rainforest level...
