New screenshots for Far Cry 2 have turned up on the internet today and while I was definitely not a fan of the first game, they still managed to look pretty nice to my skeptical, skeptical eyes.
The one thing that strikes me, is the screen that shows an enemy character carrying his wounded comrade out of the field of fire. Or at least attempting to (and judging from the way that sniper rifle is keyed in on them, they won’t get far).
Still, this seems to represent at least a small step forward in terms of enemy AI. If the AI is going to go beyond just working together to kill you, but is now working to keep the other AI enemy alive, (so they can later kill you), then Far Cry 2 may just tread on some interesting new ground. I’ll be keeping an eye out for this game to see if it will tickle my fancy into buying it.
