Boss of Far Cry developer Crytek has told CVG that he's not only keen to play Far Cry 2 but that he applauds Ubisoft's design goals for the sequel.
"I'm happy with the direction it [Far Cry 2] took, with Africa and the scenario and the gameplay choices they want to make.. So it allows the concept to co-exist and differentiates itself from Crysis and Far Cry. Which is good", Cevat Yerli told us during an interview earlier this week.
"I'm looking forward to playing Far Cry 2 for that matter", Yerli added.
Continuing, he said he applauds the innovations Ubisoft is including in the game, because "it's a very big challenge". In fact, some of the ideas the publisher has for the sequel are ones Crytek investigated for Crysis - in particular the non-linear, threaded storylines.

"It sounds good on paper and we tested out a couple of things, but it didn't work for us", Yerli explained.
He also said he has no regrets about leaving Far Cry behind.
"I'm completely happy with Crysis. Crysis for us is the chance to do the first thing right and not to fix it in a sequel. For me, the first thing, effectively to set a base which we can expand upon in the future, is a lot stronger."
