Far Cry 2: no downloadable demo, will get four multiplayers

Far Cry 2 - Image 1Let’s get it out straight. There won’t be any downloadable demo coming out for Ubisoft‘s Far Cry 2 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) before its October release. But before you scream in agony, here first what the producer has to say about their decision not to release one. Besides, there’s a bit of good news to balance out the bad.

Far Cry 2 - Image 1Unfortunately, you won’t be getting your hands on a downloadable demo for Ubisoft‘s Far Cry 2. Yes, it’s a sad bit of news, it is. But this is what Louis-Pierre Pharand, producer, revealed in a LiveText chat with Eurogamer.

Said he, “It became too complex to do a demo of an open world game. We decided to put those efforts into the game so everyone can enjoy a better, more polished experience.” However, the good news is that he confirmed the inclusion of four multiplayer modes for the game.

Apart from the obligatory Deathmatch and Team Deatmatch modes, they’ve also added in Capture the Diamond, and Uprising, which Pharand describes as “a modified version of a VIP.”
In these modes, you’ll be able to upgrade within classes, and “will allow you to be more tactical in your progression, depending of the type maps you play.”

See, it’s not so bad after all. While there’s no demo, there will be more multiplayer modes for you to enjoy. Besides, you won’t have to wait long for the release, anyway. Far Cry 2 arrives for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC next month, October 24th.

Just hang in there.
