FC2 hang glider makes sequel "truly a Far Cry game"

It can't be Far Cry without a hang glider, right? Apparently not.

Showing off Far Cry 2 at Games Convention, dev narrative man Patrick Redding said the powerless flying thing was an essential addition to the game.

"There are about 14 vehicles in total, including various armed pick-up trucks, rovers, dune buggies and, of course, the inevitable hang glider we have to have for it to be truly a Far Cry game," he told VG247.

We didn't get to see the hang glider in action, unfortunately. We saw Patrick using a boat, if that's any consolation.

Game's out for PC, PS3 and 360 before the end of the year.
