[edit] Game Information
An accidental hero finds himself on a remote tropical paradise, where a madman plays God; engineering various species of enhanced creatures to replace what he believes is a genetic dead-end... mankind.
The game is set around 2020 on a set of tropical islands in the pacific. And has a strong tropical-paradise feel, scenic in its beauty, but, harbors a terrible threat. It is a mix of jungle / primal / and next-gen technology.
As the player you find yourself drawn into a secretive plot involving secret research facilities with scientists involved in military genetic-research, a secret "security" force of mercenaries, and, advanced net-generation weaponry and equipment.
[edit] Widescreen Support
Far Cry has native widescreen support, select your desired resolution from the options menu.
While you can select widescreen resolutions by default in Far Cry, it is not true widescreen as it is cropped vertically rather than expanded horizontally. The following link details a rough hack to fix this, though the effect is a little less than elegant. The site suggests using a 112 FOV, but by my calculation, 108 and 120 are the correct FOVs for 16:10 and 16:9 aspect ratios, respectively. By "correct," I mean the same amount of vertical space is visible as in standard 4:3 aspect.
