Far Cry Instincts

Last I heard, it was a definite for Xbox and PlayStation 2...And while a GameCube version was initially announced, it's fate is not certain.
 
It's only Xbox & PS2, AFAIK. This is from the last PR released about the game:

Ubisoft today announced that Far Cry InstinctsTM will now be available for both the Microsoft XboxTM video game system and the Sony PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system in Q1 2005. The console versions will take the best of the top selling tropical PC shooter adapting it to the consoles specificities and using the technology Far CryTM fans have come to expect. 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 CryTM PC version.

No GC version mentioned.
 
Great a game that STARTED out on the cube get's moved onto the other consoles then dropped for the cube all together, really friggin great.
 
Most likely the xbox version will be the only one worth getting.. (pixel shaders)

edit: i should also say forget about any other sequels to far cry from the original team, since they're in bed with EA now.

Agree with the first but I don't quite get the second.. why not? EA just released an Oddworld title, if they can justify that they'll probably do some kind of sequel for this franchise..

Really? Sounds strange that Crytek would've been planning a GC-only Far Cry.

Er, yeah. Are you sure you're not confusing this with the announcement they made that they had CryEngine running for licensing on Cube? They've had licensing for all three machines (no PolyBump on PS2.) I'm not even sure what Crytek's place in this project even is -- Ubi Montreal is doing the design, and strangely enough, I'm not sure there's even been mention of this version using the CryEngine (Gotta be, though, right? Why put FarCry on something else when Crytek needs a title for its licensing portfolio...)

Maybe you're talking about some other game... Crytek isn't involved at all in FC: Instincts, because it's being completely developed in-house by Ubisoft Montreal. It was initially meant to be an Xbox exclusive, and then it was expanded to PS2 too.
