8 MORE Video Game Heroes Who Turned Evil In The Sequel

Isn't it lovely when fan theories are finally proven to be correct by the developers? It's that beautiful bow on the gift that is then handed back to the fandom as a reward for spotting the tiny details that sometimes go unaddressed for decades.

Such was the case with Far Cry 2, which during an interview with Clint Hocking (who was the creative director of the game), revealed that the fan theory that the Protagonist Jack Carver from the original game, and the primary antagonist of the sequel were in fact the same person.

This had been speculated on for years, ever since fans found files in Far Cry 2 of The Jackal that listed "jackcarver" as their description. However without anything in the game drawing these points together, many just assumed it to be a mistake or piece of cut content.

Yet with this confirmation, we can see how the shady smuggler Jack ended up becoming The Jackal, who definitely seems to have grown his base of operations since the first game.
