Far Cry 4: How Ubisoft is bringing Kyrat to life.

Go behind the scenes with the research that went into building Far Cry 4‘s open-world Kyrat for the next-generation. The team travelled to Nepal with VICE to draw inspiration and create authentic Kyratic characters and environments native to the region. Far from the tourist trail, they encounter people whose stories can help an outsider better experience the fabric of life there, both culturally and politically.

In the first video discover what motivated the trip and what the development team expected to see. Watch their first steps in a country where the crowded and polluted cities mix with deserted and intriguing sceneries. Finally, meet a veteran Gurkha – Nepalese soldiers whose training is beyond thinking – who will introduce you to Kukris, the emblematic weapon of Far Cry 4.

Interesting video.

They really seem to be going out of their way not to make the game seem racist.

They mentioned in a polygon article that they are going to avoid the dude bro stuff from 3 as well. I just hope the writing is up to scratch in 4. Gameplay will be great though.

I really hope this isn't essentially a reskin of FC3. I love the Dunia engine but want to see an overhaul of the side mission/mini-game crap. FC2 was a step in the right direction and then they just abandoned it. Also FC3 was waaaaaay too easy.
 
New gameplay video (part with snow covered area) ?

-you can use snow leopard and bears for distraction
-you can now pick up and move bodies


GAF why is there almost no hype for FC4 ?

It looks like the best far cry so far. It has sandbox Co-op, MP map editor that now includes also SP missions editor ! Vehicles are returning to multiplayer...
And looks like the first solid port of far cry on consoles.

According to Alex Hutchinson we are getting FC4 map editor info shortly:

Awesome video, thanks for posting that. I would assume the hype isn't there because it is still a few months out. Once we get closer I'm sure anticipation will start to build for a fair number of people. After Far Cry 3 this is easily my most anticipated game of the year. The game looks absolutely gorgeous as well.

I kinda wish the gameplay is more like FC2 ( sure its less fluid but it makes the game more... fun, to me anyway)
Hoping things like the minimap is disabled, weapon degradation is back ( PLS) and stealth isn't so easy and broken.

IT looks like it plays too much like FC3 so I probably will wait for a sale. Like how you are this crazy man who can run through bullets and take out 2 or 3 guys with your knife, like you are basically an movie action hero, meh.

Also hope the crafting is somewhat fixed, way too easy to become OP early on.

(Yes I am one of the few who loved FC2)

In FC2 fighting 1 enemy was a bit of a challenge, FC3, and 4 from the looks of it, even against 6 it doesn't look hard.
Basically the game looks too easy.

When does the game come out? I think this will be the first farcry I buy. The antagonist just has too much aura for me to not know more about him.

there wasn't much hype for far cry 3 either iirc? or maybe i just wasn't paying attention. but i thought that game sold off word of mouth. think the lack of hype this time around is probably due to other established franchises looking like they are shaking things up a bit (i.e. Assassins and COD seem like they are trying extra hard this year) while FC4 kind of looks same-y

Wow that final cut was really jarring. "... people whose lives have been torn apart by the civil war." Pre-order Far Cry 4 Now!

The rest of the video was actually pretty interesting. Kind of curious of what tone they will be going for.

Is there cities like Pokhara or the game is just based on Himalayas?

that was cool, ubi worlds are always well realized because of the amount of effort they put into that aspect

This is my most anticipated non-Nintendo game lol

They really need to step up the advertising for this, unless they decide to delay which I hope not.

Ubi needs to delay something, otherwise FC4 won't sell as well as it could. November is way to crowded. They're releasing their 4 biggest games within 2 weeks of each other. This comes out the same day as GTAV, Halo MCC, etc. while December is looking a bit empty.
