Attempts were made to distinguish the graphics of the Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon remaster from the original: “You just paid more”

A blogger decided to compare the graphics of the original Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon with the recent remaster. Some saw the only difference as an additional monetary contribution to Ubisoft

The creator of the YouTube channel Cycu1 decided to find out how much the first-person shooter Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon has changed. If you look closely at the remaster Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon Classic Edition (for PS and Xbox consoles), differences can be found, but they are not striking. For example, the mountain in the background has become slightly “smoother,” and some textures also appear to have been updated.

Users began sharing their impressions of what they saw:

“What... Are they serious? I don’t see any difference other than better ambient occlusion [a rendering technique to create a sense of depth using ambient lighting and shadows] in the original...”.

“There is a reason why it is called Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon Classic Edition, very, very small difference in the Classic Edition because it’s a port”.

“The only difference I can definitely spot is additional anamorphic lens flares [effects] on some light sources; besides that, there might be differences in some specific textures, like bushes”.

“The only difference is that you have to pay extra money to get it”.

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon Classic Edition is priced at $14.99 on the Xbox store, and 1,069 rubles on the PlayStation Store. The game should be available for free to owners of the Far Cry 6 Season Pass.
