Sounds like we will be hearing tons more info concerning Far Cry on September 14th at New York, when Nintendo reveals most if not all of the Wii info left to ponder. I'm curious to see how the aiming system will handle after hearing about the new options Ubisoft is giving for the game. Online sounds like it has a really strong chance of happening right out of the gate as well and that just makes the game more worth buying if you ask me. Excited?

I wonder, how long did Ubi-Soft worked on this game? I mean, I feel like this game was in development for a month less than Red Steel.

They must have been working on it in secret for a while alongside Red Steel. The guy makes it sound like they have been developing it for a while. It sounds like they are trying to make it a really good game and not just an Xbox port.

September 14th can't come soon enough.

I hope they took their sweet time on it because I thought Ubi-Soft's first interest with the Wii started with Red Steel and Rayman Raving Rabbids.

I know what you mean, but maybe the easy of development on the Wii has something to do with it? We will see just how polished it is soon. I want to see Red Steel looking better too to go with the better control. This game "sounds" better than Red Steel to me so far though.
