But wait, there's potentially more good news! Ubisoft might not be stopping with just Far Cry 3. Last week, they dropped a series of cryptic emojis that seemed to hint at 60fps updates for other titles in the series. We're talking Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Classic and even Far Cry Primal. While nothing is officially confirmed beyond Far Cry 3, it certainly feels like it's a question of "when," not "if," these other games will get the same love. And honestly, who *wouldn't* want to stalk prehistoric beasts at a silky smooth frame rate?

For those who somehow missed the Far Cry 3 boat the first time around, seriously, where have you been? It's a fantastic open-world shooter, and even with its protagonist's shortcomings, it's a must-play. The Rook Islands are gorgeous and deadly, and Vaas, the game's primary antagonist, is one of the most memorable villains in video game history. He's genuinely terrifying and captivating. Don't just take my word for it, either.

"In the past, Far Cry's vision of a first-person shooter RPG where you explore, master and then control your environment has always been more seductive on paper than any of its developers have managed to deliver on disc. Far Cry 3 changes all that. For me, this is the new apex predator of open-world shooters," reads Eurogamer's original review. High praise indeed, and well-deserved, in my opinion. The improved frame rate will only enhance that sense of immersion and control.

Speaking of Ubisoft and open worlds, let's not forget the ongoing rumors about an Assassin's Creed: Black Flag remake. The studio has been fueling the fire lately. Earlier this month, they re-uploaded a massive playlist of sea shanties from Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag to their YouTube music channel. Now, *that* got everyone's attention. Sure, Ubisoft claimed it was due to "technical issues," but come on! Nobody's buying that. The speculation is rampant, and frankly, a Black Flag remake with modern visuals and gameplay tweaks would be incredible. Whether it's real or just wishful thinking remains to be seen, but we're definitely keeping our fingers crossed. Maybe they'll even include a shanty or two about the new Far Cry upgrades!
