Far Cry 3 not just about cheap thrills

Far Cry 3 will be a game focused on more than just cheap thrills.

Ubisoft caused a stir at E3 when they released a trailer for the game featuring controversial aspects such as swearing, nudity and drugs.

Far Cry 3 level design director Mark Thompson explained that the game would just be exploring adult themes that have been seen in films and TV for years.

Thompson told NowGamer: “We have a lot of respect for our subject matter. We approach it with maturity and honesty. Moreover, we respect gamers, and we know that they will treat the material with the same respect, after all we are adults making a game for adults.

“It’s not about cheap thrills and titillation, it’s about exploring mature themes in ways that other entertainment media have been doing for years.”

He added: “We aren’t doing anything that hasn’t been seen on post-watershed television, but the reaction has been that we are taking a risk, or being bold, because those areas of life are often left unexplored in games, especially in the FPS genre, where Far Cry 3 will really stand out as a different experience.”

It was recently announced that Far Cry 3 had been delayed until November.
