VGM Fusion sat down with Andre Vu of Ubisoft recently to talk about the upcoming version of Far Cry for the Wii. Far Cry Vengeance is on schedule for a release during the Wii's "launch window," and will include new story elements, new characters and maps.
The bad news, I think, is that the game will use motion controls. They didn't find out what all of the controls would be, but managed to get three examples:
Quickly tilting the Nunchaku up will cause you to jump
Making a slashing motion with the Wiimote takes you into feral mode
Motioning the Wiimote forward will activate the sniper riffle
The developer said the game pushed the Wii to its limits, graphically and that it runs in 480p at 30fps. Unfortunately, there is no online multiplayer yet, just a split screen variety. Vu did say that the could always add online multiplayer as a patch through WiiConnect24. They also said they might make downloadable content available for the game.
