Far Cry 3's map editor has been updated with assets from the PSN spin-off, Blood Dragon.

You can grab the retro-futuristic 80’s content now for free over PSN. It’s called ‘Mark IV Style’ and carries the description, “The year is 2007, it is the future. Create your own homage to the VHS-era with new themes and items in this expanded map editor pack.”

Meanwhile, a listing for Far Cry HD on PS3 and Xbox 360 has turned up on the Brazilian Ratings Board, suggesting that the first game in the series is set for a polish up and re-release.

Released in 2004 for PC, Far Cry is the only game in the main, numbered series to be developed by Crysis devs Crytek. It follows former U.S. Army Special Forces operative Jack Carver, who gets stranded on a mysterious tropical archipelago and shoots lots of things.

Expect an announcement for this one sooner rather than later.

  • Holy shit, Far Cry HD?! I LOVED the original Far Cry! Awesome news, I'll almost certainly be picking that up, hope it has some trophies with it! The map editor update's nice too. Just one more reason this game is so great.
  • The original PC Far Cry is shit hot. loved that game
  • Lets hope its indeed the Far Cry from PC and not the lackluster console version.
  • I hope Ubisoft release DLC for Blood Dragon. Cause I want some more crazy 80's Action.
  • @3: Agreed! The console versions of FC1 were awful so hopefully this will be the PC original.
  • Currently playing Far Cry 3 85% completed. Plan to play ‘Blood Dragon’ next and most definitely I would love to play this original Far Cry. Far Cry 3 is my first introduction to the series. Never did play Far Cry 2. But as far as Far Cry 3 goes…I just have to say... amazing, no outstanding.
  • Only played the console version, hated it. Played FC2, loved it. FC3, greatest first person shooter I've ever played. Maybe I'll get the original if it's the pc port, thanks to the previous comments talking about how great the pc was
  • I have to play Far Cry 2 still... but Far Cry HD? I haven't even played the game, but I'm already interested in it as Far Cry 3 has been a blast to play most of the time. Will want to play it for sure.
  • Why do some people not like the 3rd game? I understand that it may have changed over the years but Far Cry is at it's best now, the game has gotten popular.
  • I loved Far Cry 2 Single Player, but the multiplayer is an awful, awful mess. One of Ubisoft's worst mistakes on the PS3, as they had no idea how to manage server support and grossly overestimated how much time gamers had to play multiplayer (over 200 hours non-boosting for multiplayer trophies, due in large part to servers resetting your stats every night). The FC2 single player though - drool. Loved it! Morality choices, diamonds to find, animals to kill, people to run over.
