yup.

it should be against the law to pretty up a screenshot like that and try to fool the consumer into thinking the actual game will look like that.

Really wish it didn't have a "not all religious people are bad" priest character in there. I'm ready for games to go ahead and start, straight-up, tackling religion and it's utter insanity.

I realize they'd get blowback, but, it'd be worth it.

Otherwise, game looks ballin. I'm in.

Yeah, I'm a little confused as to how a town in Minnesota can be taken over by a religious terrorist group and not have the government come down on them.

Hope County, Montana. Also there are highly isolated towns in Rural America that are so remote some real raw shit could go down without the wider world catching on. Not to this level obviously, but eh it's Far Cry.

A couple black people in the group of cultists apparently from the trailer, so I guess they aren't going with a white supremacist angle, more so Christian cult.

I knew Ubi didn't had the balls to do it. Lame.
 
I was hoping for it releasing this fall, but it looks pretty cool! Something about Far Cry 4 and Primal just lost me after a few hours so maybe the closer to home setting will bring me in

Gamespot posted some details, I added them to the OP

It's also playable on PS4 Pro and Project Scorpio.
You can play the entire story solo or in two-player co-op.
You play as the new junior deputy of fictional Hope County, Montana, players will find that their arrival accelerates a years-long silent coup by a fanatical doomsday cult, the Project at Eden's Gate
Villians name is Joseph Seed
You can fly planes and take part in aerial dogfights.
Vehicles include American muscle cars, ATVs, boats, and big rigs.
Weapons include guns, grenades, sledgehammers, and baseball bats.
You can recruit other people to fight for you.
You can also recruit animals like bears and cougars.
There is a map editor that will have "new features that add a new dimension to the content created by fans".

Ubisoft Montreal is leading development, with support from Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Kiev, Ubisoft Shanghai, and Ubisoft Reflections.

Looks like to me that it's GTA V style with the three spotlight videos being the characters you get to play. The priest is badass as fuck

You guys do know they want this to sell right. I mean it sucks but Ubisoft is still a business.

Also I am still surprised Ubisoft went with the Christian route anyway.

I know some wild shit can go down in rural America without the cops and outside world knowing. I guess Ubisoft's extreme version of rural America threw me off a little.

It's a common thing in that appalchian noir/neo-noir genre. The town isnt usually taken over, but rather the gang/cult/etc operates in and around, and don't go against them or you might just disappear that night.

Plus Jonestown and Heaven's Gate were in the US, so it's not that far fetched

Jonestown was in South America.

Ok, that looks great. So many scenes, the small home over run with grass and the dilapidated little league field, look like home.

Still though, it looks a little over the top, would have preferred a more reined in, realistic, experience.

What a pathetic, hateful post.

First impression is that this doesn't seem like it's going to be the provocative allegory that people were likely hoping for, but it still seems like an interesting direction and setting for the series.

I don't know, as a single player guy I rarely enjoyed a campaign that was designed for co-op when playing it by myself. And since the death of splitscreen, I am very likely not going to play it in co-op.

It looks essentially like a modern day western. I'm not really a fan of the setting and I got bored of FC3 after a couple of hours, so there's nothing that hooks me at the moment.
