Far Cry 3 fans looking forward to the launch of the new Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, which is apparently launching on May 1st, 2013, will be thrilled to know that this game transforms the jungles of Far Cry 3 into the style of an 80s sci-fi movie. This standalone expansion promises to deliver a unique and nostalgic experience, blending the open-world gameplay of Far Cry 3 with a retro-futuristic aesthetic.
Are sure to enjoy this first Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon gameplay footage which has leaked onto the internet ahead of the game’s official launch next month. The footage offers a tantalizing glimpse into the neon-soaked world of Blood Dragon, showcasing its distinctive visual style and over-the-top action sequences.
Gameplay and Features
The 30 minutes of Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon gameplay provides you with a good glimpse of what you can expect from the new standalone Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon game. The game is set in a dystopian future where players take on the role of Sergeant Rex “Power” Colt, a Mark IV Cyber Commando. The gameplay footage reveals a world filled with neon lights, cyborg enemies, and laser weapons, all set to a synth-heavy soundtrack that perfectly captures the essence of 80s sci-fi.
One of the standout features of Blood Dragon is its commitment to the 80s theme. From the VHS-style loading screens to the cheesy one-liners delivered by the protagonist, every aspect of the game is designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia. The game also introduces new mechanics, such as the ability to ride laser-firing dragons, adding a fresh twist to the familiar Far Cry formula.
Leaked Footage and Community Reaction
The leaked footage seems to be from a full version of the game and was first shown on YouTube earlier today. However, Ubisoft, the publisher for Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, has already removed that footage from YouTube. Fortunately, it still exists in the videos below from Daily Motion, but for how long, I am not sure. But enjoy it while you can.
The community reaction to the leaked footage has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans have praised the game’s unique art style, humorous dialogue, and innovative gameplay mechanics. Many have expressed excitement about the game’s departure from the more serious tone of Far Cry 3, appreciating the lighthearted and fun approach of Blood Dragon.
In addition to the gameplay, the leaked footage also provides a glimpse into the game’s story. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, players must battle against an army of cyborgs and mutants to save humanity. The game’s narrative is filled with references to classic 80s movies and TV shows, making it a treat for fans of the era.
Overall, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon looks to be a promising addition to the Far Cry series. Its unique blend of retro aesthetics, engaging gameplay, and humorous storytelling sets it apart from other games in the franchise. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Far Cry or simply looking for a fun and nostalgic gaming experience, Blood Dragon is sure to deliver.
