melmer Posted April 1, 2013 The year is 2007. It is the future. Earth has been ravaged by a nuclear war and new paths for peace must be found. A U.S. cyborg army may have found a solution: a powerful bioweapon on a distant island. A Mark IV Cyber Commando, Sergeant Rex Power Colt has been sent over to gather information and figure out what the hell is going on. Trailer on the website http://fc3blooddragon.uk.ubi.com/index.php So unexpected, so awesome. I believe it's going to be an XBLA title. This better not be a damned April fools Achievement list http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2013/13/1364394742-far-cry-3-blood-dragon.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik Posted April 1, 2013 Of course it's a bloody April Fools. No game announcements can be trusted on this day! It is nonetheless awesome. Love the 90s-style website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youmeyou Posted April 1, 2013 Oh true. I should probably just quit the internet for today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drath Posted April 1, 2013 There was also a document leaked that showed it also being rated by the Australian Classification Board - "High impact sex scene", YES! There's also achievements/cover art physically in the Microsoft/Live system. I'm pretty sure it is a joke game, but I think it actually IS coming out.

TychoCelchuuu Posted April 1, 2013 This is the second game in a few months (or faux-game), after Double Fine's Automata, to basically be Steve Gaynor's tumblr come to life and I really hope it's real. I really like the quote they have for the player character, Rex Colt, the fallen soldier who rose to be a hero: "Elite army dudes are elite." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feelthedarkness Posted April 1, 2013 If it's a joke, it's a bad joke, because I want it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted April 1, 2013 I'm with everyone else. I want this to be real. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geremy Tibbles Posted April 1, 2013 If this game doesn't have a New Retro Wave soundtrack I will be sorely disappointed 0D1uCzzrLI After Cyberpunk 2077's trailer having a severe lack of synth, this will be a supreme letdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted April 2, 2013 Smart money says it's an incredibly elaborate joke. Getting Australia to actually rate it is an amazing touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colinp Posted April 2, 2013 The flag counter and view counter are pretty fantastic. Brings back memories- what a funny place the Internet is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twmac Posted April 2, 2013 Are you sure there are achievements and game listings? Because if it does and it isn't coming out, I am not sure how much this April Fools would be appreciated by Microsoft's Biz Ops team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted April 2, 2013 I remember seeing things about this before April 1, so if it's an april fools joke it's a poorly managed one. Odds are (thankfully) it's real. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted April 2, 2013 Yeah the classification stuff popped up almost a whole month ago (oh and cover art) http://www.vg247.com/2013/03/06/far-cry-3-blood-dragon-hints-surface-online/ I bet it'll be a xbox summer of arcade title Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted April 3, 2013 Apparently there was a thing where if you entered the Konami code on the website it removed all the awesome 90's stuff and just showed a blurry screenshot from an unoriginal looking expansion. Name and game: probably real. All the things you want that name and game to be associated with from their April fool's joke: probably false. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geremy Tibbles Posted April 3, 2013 So, it exists, and it probably is what we think it is. http://4playernetwork.com/blog/2013/04/the-music-of-far-cry-3-blood-dragon/ All of the music is done by Powerglove and is super 80s NRW type business. Hype as fuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted April 4, 2013 That is fantastic. I'm super hyped. I expect to be let down but hope not to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted April 4, 2013 I would like nothing more than to eat the words contained in my previous post and have this to be a ridiculous 90's themed romp through shark-infested jungles. Until more details are announced though, I'll hold off on celebrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geremy Tibbles Posted April 5, 2013 I guess this means I'm getting Far Cry 3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TychoCelchuuu Posted April 5, 2013 It might be standalone. It might also suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LazerBeast Posted April 5, 2013 I'd rather have DLC that looks like this instead of some tacked on island added to the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted April 5, 2013 Same. This has me way more interested in actually doing something in FC3 at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geremy Tibbles Posted April 5, 2013 Even if this DLC is shitty, I will be able to gun down a generic looking 80s goon, watching his laser bullet ridden corpse fall to the ground through a degraded filter as my body is wracked with soothing waves of synth and bass.

Drath Posted April 5, 2013 Are we seeing a new level of April Fool's marketing? April Fool's, Fools? What a twist! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
