Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we turn to a second bonus interview with Patrick Redding, credited as Story Designer on Far Cry 2, though we would tend to call that a Narrative Designer today. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Podcast breakdown: 0:45 Interview 1:16:50 Break 1:17:20 Outro Issues covered: happening to start listening at the right time, a background in physics, avoiding computer programming, applying problem-solving skills, hearing about new media, exploring story and design through tabletop, thinking about how to incorporate story into existing games, coming on to an existing team, getting thrown into the deep end, why you'd drop the PS2, string of pearls, wanting to reinvent the wheel, tearing apart the macro structure of the game and piecing it back together, moving from camera designer to narrative designer as a field promotion, shipping another retail game while joining a second, not designing the story but tightening the linkage between authored content and player-driven play, waterfall vs iterative and maintaining consistency, making a shooter and not an rpg, systemically reflecting the choices of PCs and growing out that modularity to the whole game, hitting thresholds and dealing with levels of chaos to expose the Jackal, freedom being required in time *and* space, anteing up your buddies, counterpressure and infamy, analog parameters becoming indistinguishable from random, the main wager of putting your buddy in play, a real deal-breaker for the PC, carrying through everything to achieve a pressure dynamic, having far more underlying variables to affect, the simulation of sensibility, offloading computation to the player brain for narrative meaning, creating a narrative from a sports team, the difficulty of getting parseable human interactions in games, thinking about the approach and where the tension is coming from, pie-slice approach and shells of interaction, the emotional whiplash of going from closing mode and tempo to passivity, the big switch, enjoying the camaraderie, narrative design vs writing, the emergence of narrative design in the industry, changing expectations when you ship.

Podcast breakdown: 0:43 Interview with Clint Hocking 1:07:12 Break 1:07:37 Outro Issues covered: starting out in writing, taking a terrible pay cut, good fortune, taking on many jobs, tough development cycles, making a perfect version of the first game, making the game in the last six months, reacquiring a brand, finding something fresh in the prototypes, open worlds and RPGs, taking new ground, fertile ground, "of course there's a game here," what you do when you don't have a corridor, playing on a harder difficulty, a world that's hostile wherever you go, forward pressure, enjoying playing your own game, making the better movie in the game than what's in your head, surfing the wave, the anecdote factory, playing at concert speed, the PC version vs the console versions, committing to the game, punctuating the sentence or the musical phrase, going all the way as developers, everything working together to create a physical bond that works towards just one or two moments in the game, holistic design, picking the place, reading up on colonial issues, not knowing if you'd make the game again, the exigencies of the medium, the difficulty of approaching some topics, a game that sparks different sorts of questions, bringing topics and concepts to an audience who might not encounter them, an actually mature game, the future creeds.

Venez jaser de tout ça avec nous sur Discord : https://discord.gg/SEEN6Fk2dhou Instagram : instagram.com/le_grand_rattrapage/Plongez dans un conflit entre deux factions armés jusqu'aux dents des guns les moins fiables de l'histoire des jeux vidéos avec Far Cry 2! Au menu : une bonne balance de malaria, chars fait en dentelle, de choix douteux, le tout nappé d'une bonne couche de détails impressionnants. Mais au final... c'est tu bon? On en discute.

Nate, Sebastian, Jordan, and Ryan gather to discuss FAR CRY 2, Ubisoft's 2008 first-person shooter set in a mercenary playground somewhere in Africa. We discuss the game's emergent systems, how its politics compare to its contemporaries in the genre, and "engaging friction." Sebastian promises to get worse in the new year, Jordan nearly kills his PC, and Ryan extols the virtues of the Jeep Liberty.

Bonjour. Cela fait quelques années maintenant que la licence Far Cry sort des épisodes à la pelle en essayant toujours de recréer la petite étincelle qui avait fait de Far Cry 3 le jeu au succès qu'on connait. Oui mais, saviez-vous qu'avant Far Cry 3, il y a eu Far Cry 2? L'épisode qu'on a tendance à oublier nous plonge dans un conflit armé en plein coeur de l'Afrique noire et surtout, est là pour nous en faire voir de toutes les couleurs. Entre partis pris risqués, solitude permanente, armes qui s'enraient et malaria, Far Cry 2 est clairement un Far Cry pas comme les autres, symbole de ce que pouvait accomplir l'Ubisoft d'avant. Mais c'est surtout un jeu qui a une toute autre saveur aujourd'hui qu'au moment de sa sortie. On va donc en discuter pendant plus d'une heure et on vous souhaite une très bonne écoute!

“These militia, they come into our country, steal everything, and leave us nothing.” Darren and James buddy up to tackle the notoriously-hostile Far Cry 2. When the diamonds are down, their guns are jammed, and […] The post Far Cry 2 – Cane and Rinse No.339 appeared first on Cane and Rinse.

Far Cry 2 is an interesting, hard, and serious game that in all intents and purposes started the Far Cry series down the path it's gone and away from the Crysis series of games it all started from.

Welcome to the Link to The Cast Halloween Spooktacular! ....except, we kinda forgot it was Halloween til we were already recording, so we got nothing..... Join us this week as Brian gives us a quick rundown of Wasteland 2: Electric Boogaloo, Dave celebrates beating The Witcher 3, and also had time to play WWE 2K16 and indie darling The Beginner's Guide. On top of that we have a metric ton of news from Sony at Paris Games Week, a few non-PGW news notes, and Brian takes the reigns of the Book Club this week (for which there was a false start too funny to edit out), as he makes a case for the significance of Far Cry 2. Listen, like, share, hit the iTunes button on our channel page (rate us there too to be extra nice), and enjoy!

Get carried away on our balloon of delight as we dive into Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, a game that stirs up memories of something we loved dearly, long ago. Then, we'll let you in on the "Sad Space Dads" craze that has taken the gaming world by storm. If that isn't enough, stick with us for the time Chris and Nick chatted with Jeff Goldblum about Thomas Pynchon novels.

It's what all Idle Thumbs readers have been waiting for: a personal appearance by none other than the man behind that legend of legends, FAR CRY 2. Roll this pod down a hill into your ears and observe as a procedural conversation emerges in your brain. This is what video games are all about.

[Digital Cowboys 2011] This was only our second Game Club, and it was a format I really wish mwe'd explored more before parting ways. Far Cry 2 remains my second-favourite in the series, despite its mountainous flaws, outmatched by the often extraordinary Far Cry Primal. 

Confidential informants collide and megatons are dropped in this week's high-speed episode. We talk about gaming narrative as a pastiche of tone and suggestion, but you just want your damn cutscenes. Plus: Wired's Chris Kohler joins us to dismember your naked form with a samurai sword. Replayability: 3.7.

Concluding our trio of podcasts recorded two weeks ago due to holiday issues, the crew remains joined by 2K Marin's Steve Gaynor to discuss psychopathic murderer Gordon Freeman, John Madden getting a government bailout, classic network sitcom Coach, and the love affair between the Japanese people and Wizardry.

Your old Xbox is about to become your new Xbox, but that might mean you just start using your Netflix account again. Special guest Brad Shoemaker of Giant Bomb gently guides us through the minefield of this week's industry scandals, helps us finally close the book on Far Cry 2, and rekindles our love of J. Allard.

On this edition of The Gamer and Movie Goer Show, we review Far Cry 2 on the Xbox 360, My Sims Kingdom on the Wii, Tom Clancy's End War on the Xbox 360 and The Chronological Donald Volume 4 on DVD. We also have a Pop Culture Parable about the power of words based on Tom Clancy's End War.

This week, Nick was left for dead at Valve's offices where he played some kind of video game, Chris and Jake have experienced what's so amazing about LittleBigPlanet, and we keep attempting to cajole you into playing Far Cry 2. Plus: Will Gears of War 2 blow you away? We investigate. There may be a wizard.

We're a day early and possibly still a dollar short. Weeks of Fallout 3 coverage culminate with Nick's full completion-informed opinions. (Mutants allowed.) Chris and Jake dive into the polarizing world of Far Cry 2, and Fable 2's bizarre romances are set to heart-wrenching song. Join us, for this relatively subdued cast. To your face.

The games you want to know about this week are covered! Hear about Fable 2, Wii Music, Far Cry 2, and Spider-Man: Web of Shadows! Don’t miss the new segment Boom or Bust, where we mention our top and bottom choices of the week. In the news we discuss some hot topics like the Fallout 3 controversy in India, piracy and Microsoft’s potential answer, E3 2009 details, and this week’s Star Wars: The Old Republic announcement. Download now for all this and more!

Did you hear BioWare is working on a Star Wars MMO set in the KOTOR universe? Oh, you did? Nick and Chris talk about their day at the Old Republic reveal event, Thumbs alum and BioShock 2 designer Steve Gaynor of 2K Marin joins us as a special guest, Jake turns into an old man, and more. Listen in!
