Not sure how good it will be but its been confirmed as coming out on the PS3/360.

Rumours of console versions of Ubisoft's upcoming Far Cry sequel have been doing the rounds almost since the game was first announced for PC, and today the France-based publisher has confirmed that Far Cry 2 is on the way to Xbox 360 and PS3.

In development at Ubisoft Montreal, Far Cry 2 is a next generation first-person shooter which hopes to immerse the player in an entirely new kind of gameplay experience. The game utilises a custom-made engine which has been built from the ground up, making it possible to deliver real open-world gameplay.

Far Cry 2 is scheduled for release in Ubisoft's fiscal 2008-2009 (the 12-month period beginning April 2008).

Nice. Bought instincts on the XBOX and loved it, so much so I bought it again on the 360. Yet to play the predator expansion though yet.

Lots of people didn't like it though. I enjoyed this and PDZ (played them around the same time) so maybe people just have different tastes to me.
 
I expect it'll be severely gimped, simply because of the extremely limited memory on the consoles. The processesors and GPUs are more than up to the task, but the hardware manufacturers thought it'd be a good idea to put in pre-millenium era memory sizes.

Games like uncharted don't seem to be fazed by the small memory sizes. IIRC the console have a completely different way of allocating the memory when compared to a pc.

Not really that different.

1Gb of texture memory is 1Gb of texture memory regardless of how you look at it and what you do with it.

The only solution is to reduce texture resolution, reduce the number of textures, reduce sound quality, reduce geometry complexity, reduce particle counts and special effects, reduce draw distance, increase pop-up etc.

Sorry, what's that? Linear games like Uncharted? The butchered 360 version of Farcry Predator should show you the deal.
 
Judging from the crap ports of the original Far Cry I'll be giving this a miss.

Well to be fair I'd get it on PC anyway but if I wasn't I'd still be giving it a miss on the consoles.
