If there ever was a perfect response on gaf it's this. HOLY SHIT. Probably the best use of this GIF ever.

So many cynical people in here...Far Cry games have been great. Montana shodul be fun and very scenic. Getting kind of a Twin Peaks vibe form this one.
 
I smell backfire with these, some news network/government official is gonna whine.

Sounds like good marketing to me. A little notoriety and free advertising from news stations? Sounds like the GTA recipe. If it REALLY backfires there is no need to worry, Ubisoft has a safety net in the form of Vivendi, lol.

if they dont exaggerate the current ills of america or put a grenade launcher at every farmhouse, then this could be something special. this one has to be a bit grounded to be viable though, imo

I was gonna say, some LAMOE type story where they take over a town and you gotta take it back would be cool.

Frightening as hell but cool. I want people to see how nuts some small American towns / counties can be.

In my state the signs are down, but the vibe is still there

Man, i really hope they're going with the creepy cult Jim Jones like story that was apparently leaked on Reddit. If it turns out to be true, I'd be very interested.

I love the setting, nice change. But if its a Zombie outbreak game, I'm out. Hate that shit. Hate Left for Dead, hate the Last of Us, Hate the end of Uncharted 1, Zombies are the worst.
 
I don't know why everyone's so down on the setting, modern westerns are awesome (Hell or High Water, Longmire, and No Country For Old Men for example)

First time i'm interested in a FC game since 1.
Cool vibe.
Hopefully they get rid of the Vice-style bullshit from 3 (and 4?) for a more down to earth creepy vibe.

Will they one day stop to use a 2,39:1 aspect ratio for nothing ? Cinemascope had a meaning. In theaters.

Anyway, I wonder what they'll keep from the 3-4-Primal trilogy : new engine ? new game design ? new structure ? new animations ?
It's time to change the great Far Cry design that FC got with FC3
 
Nothing crazy, but I'm excited! Something about the simplicity of a place like Montana is cool to me, especially since they seem to know this by these teasers.

By the way, the throwaway reddit account said this dealt with Christianity extremism cult in the deep center North America.
Let me fetch the post
Holy. Fuck. Balls. Ubi is possible making my dream game, I fuck love anything cult related as I find that sort of stuff really fascinating. I'm there day flipping one.

I will never understand the "here is some boring crap, come back in some days for some actual stuff" marketing technique.

No idea what gave you the impression that this has anything to do with Zombies

Man this is supposed to be launching in September too according to the Montana article that featured the making of the third teaser with the church.

If this pans out, I will buy the shit out of this. Picture driving in a dark forest in middle America with religious cultists in hiding waiting to ambush you. Creepy as hell.

You have my attention Ubisoft. Now i'm really curious who can deliver the better landscape
Far Cry 5 or RDR 2. My money is on Rockstar.

No competition whatsoever. Rockstar spend 5 years or more developing their gameworlds, Ubi churn out one a year, all good quality but will never match Rockstar.

I seriously doubt it. I can't see Ubisoft doing that for a numbered Far Cry game.

I definitely feel the same way as you do though. I have no issue with them keeping the silly premises for their standalone dlc, of course.

is Ubisoft making me a Banshee video game? I really hope they're making me a Banshee video game.

go watch Banshee.
 
That guitar riff at the end sounds like the most generic shit I've ever heard. Was thinking of Borderlands, Rogue Galaxy, Breaking Bad and Firefly mixed in a blender.

Just a hunch given how they are presenting things. I'd love to be wrong.

I want Michael Mando to play the bad guy again or just bring Vaas back.

If you guys track that article down I'm pretty sure it mentioned how many square miles the game takes place in.
