Yesterday, I led a war band of UK Destructoid members to Wembley Stadium for Play.com’s “Live” event. The day was an absolute flop, but an unannounced extra was at the show and proved to be a highlight — a walkthrough demo for Far Cry 2 with the team.

The demo, in which designer Peter Redding attempted to show us the game in action before the PC crashed (seriously, poor guys), showed off the 50 square kilometer game world. We know it was that huge because he stated 50 square kilometers more times than I’ve ever heard it stated before. After we saw a very beautiful game world with some pretty cool gun play, they accidentally got themselves killed and we had an impromptu Q&A, where Redding dropped a rather interesting claim.

Apparently, the game will not be “better” on PC than on consoles, as Redding promises the games will be pretty much equal across the board. He also promised a near seamless experience, unlike Oblivion, which Redding stated has a several times smaller game world than Far Cry 2’s.
