Ubisoft Releases Far Cry Pack for Minecraft PC
Get your Far Cry on with this new Minecraft map and texture pack from Ubisoft.
Ubisoft said on Friday that it has released the Far Cry 3-inspired map and texture pack for Mojang's hit first-person sandbox PC game, Minecraft. The zipped bundle weighs in at 851 MB, and can be downloaded directly from Ubisoft here.
"This pack allows users to explore and survive the Minecraft experience through the warped lens of Far Cry 3, with modifications to all aspects of the original game, including environments, weapons and tools," the company said. "Discover key Far Cry 3 locations and characters, including Vaas, Jason and Citra, all completely redesigned in Minecraft style. The map also features over 50 Easter Eggs, hidden throughout the Islands."
The Far Cry map was created by popular Minecraft modder Michael "Sacr3" Lambert who previously built the impressive Newcraft City map. Artists Axel Janssen and Yohann Delcourt provided the textures that are used throughout this new "Farcraft" mod.
Minecraft players looking for other popular PC gaming-based realms can look no further than Crafting Azeroth, a massive unofficial project that aims to bring the entire landscape of World of Warcraft into Minecraft. The first beta has been released, weighing 2.17 GB as a zip file and 24 GB unzipped. Minecraft modder Rumsey said the map was created using custom software that can convert Blizzard's MMORPG into blocks.
As for Ubisoft's Far Cry 3, the shooter is scheduled to release for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC on November 29, 2012 across EMEA and on December 4, 2012 in North America.
You still have hope in UBISOFT?!
Oh my, you must certainly not read into them a lot. Enjoy the DRM.

it was about a week ago and it was article was about ubisoft just showing it off. this article is saying they released it.
It's not so bad.
After the 3rd patch since I bought FarCry2, UbiSoft completely removed the DRM from the game. Now I can play it the way I want to. Even before the 3rd patch, there was a way to remove installs, so you don't go over the 5 install limit and it was possible to do it all offline.
That's true. Although Ubisoft does make some good games, what kills the experience is the DRM...
DRM is becoming less of an issue now with most gamers having access to the internet 24/7 and the industry understanding that a little DRM is fine but if you push us, we give you the finger and go isohunt
At any rate, DRM aside, this is still a nice gesture on their behalf, even if it is a way to promote Far Cry 3.
That's what minecraft is... the whole concept of the game is to be able express creativity using simple means.
