There doesn't seem to be much interest in this at all.  Do people think it will be crap or have they had their fill of running around in jungles? 

Personally, I'm pretty hyped for it.  The fire definitely looks fantastic and I look forward to burning many acres of grass for a start.

I like it, on a conceptual level. I just have damned near zero confidence in Ubi to tie it together and make an interesting, functional game out of it. The company has enough trouble with smaller scale games, so I can't even imagine how many game breaking bugs there will be in this one. I also really don't like that they limited the wildlife, because it'd be too difficult to pull the eco-system off with carnivores. Then again, I guess that last point fails to mesh with the first, so whatever. I hope it's good.

not getting hyped for any open world shooters just yet

pretty though

I don't actually like sandbox games, but I do like crawling in the grass and sniping.  So I figure there's a reasonable chance I may like it.

Wildlife hadn't actually crossed my mind until you mentioned it duckman.  I'm too focussed on the pretty fire I think.

The hype died when it went multiplatform. PC fegs don't hype multiplatform games.

Well, there is that too

I watched both the IGN and Gamespot stage demos.  This game looks great.  My biggest problem with open world shooters has been the crappy AI, and what I saw of Far Cry 2, they've got some decent stuff there.
