Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon, is set to hit the PSN on May the 1st, and while the mechanics remain the same (you'll still be capturing outposts, shooting bad guys and hunting animals - the Blood Dragons for which the game is named), the setting is radically different. Take it from Ubisoft:

Quote

Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon lets players get the girl, kill the bad guys and save the world in a VHS-era vision of the future! As Sergeant Rex Colt, you are part man, part machine, all American. You are a state-of-the art Mark IV cyber-commando on a mission...of vengeance. You're out to bring down your old commanding officer and his battalion of ruthless killer cyborgs and you'll stop at nothing to get the job done. Hollywood action icon Michael Biehn (The Terminator, Aliens, and The Abyss), returns in this explosive 1980s style sci-fi vision of a dark future. Turn off your VCR, plug in your video game cabinet, and get ready to experience all of the thrills of Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, releasing May 1, 2013 as a stand-alone digital title. All PC pre-orders will receive a free copy of the soundtrack by Power Glove. And yes, we do have Blood Dragons shooting lasers from their eyes!

This sounds seven shades of cool. and a great, creative way to build on the idea of Far Cry 3. The gameplay will be straight out of Far Cry 3, but the setting and vibe (and I suspect some of the weapons) will be quite different! Looking forward to this one
