Far Cry 3 gets ‘Insane Edition’. Now available to pre-order.
In the grand tradition of fleecing the gullable and financially senseless, comes along this latest collectors edition for Ubisoft’s forthcoming Far Cry 3.
Just look at that bobble head for heaven’s sake.
The ‘Insane Edition’ for Far Cry 3 includes the following tat:
Exclusive Survival Kit Packaging: It’s supposed to look like a survival kit. It doesn’t.
An Insane Vaas Wahine: A 12cm Wahine with Vaas bobble head that looks totally fucking hideous.
A survival guide: Discover unique artwork and inside information to help you survive the insanity of the island: Does anyone actually look at ‘unique artwork’ as a selling point these days for collectors editions?
Monkey Business: Discover Hurk, a new memorable character and quest giver, and his 4 unique missions. An extra hour of gameplay exclusive to this collector’s edition! A WHOLE EXTRA HOUR! He’s memorable too!
The Lost Expeditions: 2 Suspenseful Action Missions and an exclusive World War II Flare Gun. An extra 40min of gameplay! FORTY MINUTES (Count em’) of extra gameplay!
- The Hunter Pack: The M700 hunting rifle and its three collector’s skins.
- The Warrior Pack: A handcrafted dagger and two exclusive tribal tattoos
- The Predator Pack: 4 exclusive rare predators and a multiplayer bow.
Really, the allure of the multiplayer tidbits listed above will depend completely on the strength of the multiplayer – a bit of an unknown quantity at this point. Still, you get all of that tat for £49.99, so it’s not like they’ve violated you for the usual £69.99 price point that so many collectors editions seem to be set at these days.
The Insane Edition of the game is available to pre-order at Zavvi.com. Linkage here: http://www.zavvi.com/elysium.search?search=Far+Cry+3%3A+The+Insane+Edition
There’s also a ‘reveal’ trailer for the Insane Edition that i’m sure you probably couldn’t care about.
Here it is anyway. It looks awful.
Far Cry 3 is due to release on 360, PS3 and PC on 7th September 2012.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 confirmed to release on 360 & PS3 platforms on September 14th, 2012. GAME gets a swanky collectors edition.
The latest addition to the ‘King of the Iron Fist’ franchise now has an official date.
Publisher Namco Bandai has today confirmed that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will unleash it’s unique brand of fistic action on September 14th this year, for both 360 and PS3 consoles.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is the first sequel to the Tekken Tag Tournament spin-off series that began way back in July 1999 when the original Tekken Tag Tournament hit the arcades. Just over a year later, Tekken Tag Tournament would find it’s way onto the PS2 as a crucial part of the machine’s launch line-up way back in the mists of the year 2000.
Now that the history lesson is done, you might also like to know that some retailers are being slaves to fashion and are packing DLC with pre-orders of the game.
First up is Zavvi, who are tossing in two DLC characters for free – Kunimitsu (a watered-down Yoshimitsu clone last seen in the original Tekken Tag) and Ancient Ogre (the final bad dude in Tekken 3).
Linkage to the Zavvi deal can be seen below. Meanwhile, other retailers will likely follow with other free DLC characters given that Angel and Michelle Chang were both announced as Day One DLC characters a few days ago.

Furthermore to this, GAME are apparently hosting the only collectors edition available for the game. The ‘We Are Tekken Edition’, comes in a steelcase, has a 200 page artbook, soundtrack and a DVD with hints and tips from various expert Tekken players – including Harada-san himself. All this tat will probably go for £69.99 and i’ll certainly preorder it. Because i’m a moron. Pre-orders for the collectors edition have yet to go live on GAME’s website.
And you want a trailer I suppose too don’t you? Fine, cast your eyes downward you bunch of pushy bastards.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is due to release on Septmeber 14th 2012, on both 360 & PS3 consoles.
