Far Cry Instincts: Predator
5 years ago

I have the physical copy „Far Cry Instincts: Predator“ which contains Instincts and Evolution. Since I'm considering doing a run of it, I was wondering if there are any differences between the Predator versions and the regular versions (with regards to content, story line, loading times, etc.). Is it ok to submit a run of the Predator version or are the leaderboards meant for the regular versions only?

Here is a picture of the copy that I'm talking about: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/farcry/images/1/14/326px-4_Far_Cry_Instincts_Predator_xbox_360.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20070721235826

As far as I can find it is only graphically enhanced. Does predator contain 2 games or does it paste both instincts and evolution after one another?

they are separated from each other. you can select "Instincts Story" and "Evolution Story" from the main menu and each has it's own save files. when you finish Instincts, the game puts you back to the main menu. so yeah, you can play through them individually.

Then I believe it to be OK to run Instincts using the Predator version. As far as I could find it is only graphically enhanced. Most likely the load times would be different but that is not a problem. As far as I can tell the story and the gameplay are the same as the original Instincts. Go ahead and run. If ever it turns out that the versions are completely different and uncompatible then we can always split the leaderboard into XBOX and XBOX360 leaderboards.

both games are the same minus some lag present in the instincts version on the original xbox.

I'd say its ok to run the predator version

so...I did my first run today and crowe (the final boss) just disappeared at the end. There was also no music playing and no enemies spawning. Is this a known glitch? Cause if this is unknown I will not run it again. It basically kills your run cause you can't finish without killing the final boss (obviously) lol.

(there is a fright right at the beginning of the vid when he opens the elevator door, just saying, be aware)

I dont know if this happens often. Maybe try it again. how long is the run in total???

If I would have finished it would have been 2 hours 10 minutes or so. my motivation to run again is pretty down after discovering that. maybe I do some investigations on that glitch and try again. we'll see.

Hope you do :)

Groningen, Netherlands

cool you did a run

yep :) I didn't get the glitch this time. information for anybody: restarting the level got rid of the glitch for me, while loading the checkpoint didn't. so if you get unlucky and get the glitch you can at least restart the level so you don't have to throw your run away.

did you add that in the run description ? that is good to add to it. I will verify it tomorrow afternoon if you dont mind.

yo just take your time man, no problem. I didn't add that, but I can add it to the description of the youtube vid.

I have passed the responsibilty of verifying to Deln because he has played the game and I havent, so it feels more fitting this way. It shouldnt take long. Another question, do you have a way of getting a timer onscreen in the recording ? And please join the far cry speedrunning discord: https://discord.gg/nnQyFp , if you have discord
