Maybe they've heard that it looks like shite from people at E3. Also, this is the first official mention I've seen of the PS2 version

[7/6/2004 2:27:12 PM ET]
Ubisoft today announced a new ship date of first quarter 2005 for its console version of the tropical PC shooter, Far Cry.
Far Cry Instincts was originally planned for release sometime this fall, but Ubisoft claims that "the new ship date will ensure that both the Xbox and PS2 versions have the same impressive graphics and unique immersive gameplay elements as the highly-regarded Far Cry PC version."
In development at Ubisoft Montreal, Far Cry Instincts follows the story of Jack Carver, who is hired to escort a journalist to a tropical island, but finds himself stranded and hunted by mercenaries when his boat sinks. Instincts will offer redesigned maps and a full-blown map editor—a feature the PC version did not include.

It also looks like publishers are going to give a wide berth to Halo 2 and Doom 3 on the Xbox.

First, Republic Commando, now Far Cry, others to follow??

I bought Far Cry for PC, and it did come with a full-blown map editor, so whats going on here?

They've mentioned a PS2 version would come later, but that it would be XB first.
