Far Cry 2 skipping the PS3?

Official websites of game titles are important. Not only do they serve as a smart marketing tool, it also allows fans to check on updates on the forthcoming title. That’s why it is alarming to find that one of the most anticipated shooters of the year, Far Cry 2, is only listed to the platforms of PC and Xbox 360 when it is also supposed to be on the PlayStation 3. A simple typo error, or is something bigger lurking underneath it all?

Is something going amiss with the development of Ubisoft‘s Far Cry 2? Dutch website PSOnly has taken note of the fact that the publisher’s official website lists the first-person shooter only for the platforms PC and Xbox 360.

A few months back, Ubisoft had said that they are still in the process of completing the development team for the title. Could this have resulted to a change of plans in the process, thereby resulting to the PlayStation 3 version being left out?

Of course, we’d have to consider all angles, so we’re thinking it could be possible that it’s just a matter of a web content error. Probably the site is just not updated? But when the blog for another multiplatformer was checked out, Brothers In Arms: Hell’s Highway, it did sport the complete platforms it was going to be in (Xbox 360, PC, PS3).

We’ve also checked out the British site for the game, and this one does include the PS3 version – Wii included. So Ubisoft, what’s the deal with Far Cry 2 on the PS3? Is it a go or not? We’re still waiting for an official word from them, and hopefully they will release a clarification as to this confusion.
