Action Adventure Veterans Typhoon Studios Form New Studio ‘Raccoon Logic’

Having collectively worked together on and off for many years, and after spending many more years at some of the biggest and most prolific developers on the planet, the core talent from Typhoon Studios have reformed and announced a brand new studio: Raccoon Logic.

Action Adventure Veterans Form New Studio ‘Raccoon Logic’

The Montreal-based outfit has secured a large initial investment and regained the IP for the acclaimed Journey to the Savage Planet, meaning they can hit the ground running on new adventures in the action adventure space.

Altogether, Raccoon Logic’s co-founders have held key positions at the likes of Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, and WB Games amongst others, with the studio backed by a pivotal investment from Chinese tech firm Tencent. Combined, it should ensure Raccoon Logic’s as-of-yet unannounced debut project will have both the tools and talent it needs.

Far Cry 2 Getting Patched Up

Far Cry 2 Getting Patched Up
Published by: Dartht33bagger on Thursday, May 14, 2009
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

This is great news for all Far Cry 2 gamers. My friends have been complaining about some of these problems for a while now, and Ubisoft has the answer.


Today Ubisoft is pleased to announce the release of a Farcry 2 title update for Xbox 360 version of the game. This patch will include a lot of improvements for both single player and multiplayer modes; with better browsing features, more multiplayer game options, and other new additions in order to let you play the game, the way you want. Information on a similar update for PS3 and PC will be announced soon." Here is a list of the fixes and additions:

Single Player:

* Fix some random crash occurring during specific Malaria attacks
* Fix health damage not following the difficulty level when switching difficulty during player’s walkthrough
* Fix some camera issue when using a mortar near a rock
* Reduce significantly the probability of having a corrupted save game*

Multiplayer:

* Add Respawning time in Host - Advanced options - player match
* Add Starting rank in Host - Advanced options - player match
* Add min players in the host option
* Add deaths in scoreboard
* Balance current damage model
* Show VIP on Scoreboard (for your team only)
* Players can stay on the same host for consecutive matches in Ranked match
* Add a Quick match button when selecting a map in the Map community
* Fix vehicles spawning on their initial position immediately after being destroyed by an explosion
* Fix client being disconnected from the host randomly and not being able to see it after that
* Fix death message does not appear randomly
* Fix some issues when interacting with objects
* Fix bandolier doesn’t always unlock extra ammo
* Fix some bug when healing another player and getting wounded at the same time
* Fix diamond gain in rank mode
* Fix players don’t get a request to keep a map after playing on a IGE map DLC Fix some issues when using the crossbow

Extra features:

* Add a “hardcore mode” that will provide a new damage model where all weapons do much more damage to increase realism.
* Add the possibility to play Rank matches on a selection of user maps**

Many of the new features were requested by members of the community and we would like to thanks everyone for taking the time to communicate with us, we hope you will enjoy the improvements.

* We are very aware of the problems some people have been experiencing and have been doing everything within our powers to resolve these issues as quickly as possible. We found out during our testing that several elements could cause an issue with the same consequences and therefore prevent certain players to finish the game. We have been able to provide solutions that prevent those corruption problems in most cases and we haven’t encountered any problems now. We apologize wholeheartedly for the inconvenience that this matter has caused to some owners of the game.

Far Cry 2 to get HARDCORE

Far Cry 2 to get HARDCORE
Published by: Mattster on Sunday, February 08, 2009
Tagged: Gaming, Live Marketplace, Xbox 360, Xbox Live,

On the FAR CRY 2 community forums, Community Developer ATMON posted about a new patch for FAR CRY 2 multiplayer

Far Cry 2 Screenshot 3656
A lot of questions have been raised on the forums about a hardcore mode feature. Today we are happy to confirm that you will be able to enjoy this new mode on all platforms with our next wave of patches.

The hardcore mode has been designed as an answer to a community request. When designing the multiplayer game our team wanted to provide a balanced experience for most gamers. However some players were seeking and expecting a more realistic experience.

The addition of a “hardcore” setting, available in every game mode, will have many consequences:
A new damage model will be applied with increased damage for all weapons.

All weapons have been rebalanced on normal mode, and on hardcore mode.

Enemy names will disappear after the spawning invincibility period is over (A shield is displayed above a player’s head for a few second to show that he is invincible).

A new option will allow you to tweak spawning time (but not spawning rate).

A new search option will be available in multiplayer to allow you to find games that are playing on hardcore mode.


We hope that you will like the changes our team has implemented to let you enjoy the game, and play it the way you want.


Good news for all of you FARCRY 2 players who found the multiplayer unrealistic

With Ubisoft Confirming an October 24th Release Date for Far Cry 2 i was thinking we should have a peek at what all the guys will be getting if they decide to spend the extra cash for the collectors edition of this game, i must admit that this is not a bad looking set considering some games are just including the DLC and calling it the collectors edition.


The following information is the press release from Ubisoft: Ubisoft announced that Far Cry® 2 will be released on October 24th throughout all EMEA territories on the 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows® PC.

“Far Cry® 2 is an amazing journey that will take you to the darkest places of Africa where each player will choose how they play. This will provide gamers with an unprecedented experience in the FPS genre”. John Parkes, EMEA Marketing Director.

To celebrate the release of Far Cry® 2, Ubisoft is happy to unveil the Far Cry® 2 Collectors’ Edition that will include:

  • Exclusive wooden box

  • Original Far Cry® 2 Game

  • Limited edition Far Cry® 2 t-shirt

  • “The Art of Far Cry® 2” Art book

  • Collector 50km² map

  • Making-of DVD

    Far Cry 2 Collectors’ Edition is now available for pre-order at GameStop and game.co.uk

    Things The Far Cry 2 Dev Team Wants You To Know.

    Things The Far Cry 2 Dev Team Wants You To Know.
    Published by: wes213 on Friday, July 11, 2008
    Tagged: Xbox 360,

    Due out some time in 2009 the Far Cry 2 game will not be what you have come to know as a Far Cry game, it would seem the game Dev team has removed one of the key features that made up a Far Cry game experience.


    First thing the Dev team would like to fill you in on is this little fact: “There are no f**king mutants in this game,” said producer Louis-Pierre Pharand,

    “No mutants, no monsters, no magic, no psychic powers,” added director Clint Hocking.

    OK so now that that is out of the way we can start to see why no videos of claws and scent trails have shown up, with all that aside this still looks to be a real top notch game and i wouldn't over look it when it comes time for this game to launch..
