Warming up for this one, out of nowhere.

Just need confirmation that this being on PS4 has no microstuttering and Im set.

FC3 360 was abysmal on the performance department Jeez.

This is what I'm waiting to hear about also, performance. I might unfortunately have to wait for a Digital Foundry face off before I bite on this one. I skipped FC3 on PS3 when I saw how bad the framerate was.

If this is a locked 99% of the time 30fps then I'll get it. It looks good to me.

I played this a few weeks ago on PS4 and it was absolutely rock solid 30 at 1080 and the AA solution (HRAA) is one of the best yet a really clean game that even with 10 guys on screen a helicopter and explosions it never dropped a beat was really impressed.

No issues at all with screen tear, performance was bob on and game was a load of fun.

 

[KooopaKid]

Invincible elephants yeah!
Looks like FC2 and FC3 where you see all the game has to offer within the first 2 hours.

was there a lot of input lag/delay? i mean it's 30fps after all and thats not really fantastic for an fps

 

[tusken77]

Platinumed Far Cry 3 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely looking forward to this first person Uncharted 2 on PS4.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Hyped simply due to coop.

 

[ktroopa]

videos look very smooth. didnt expect that.. tbh. might keep my ps4 preorder now

 

[Bsigg12]

So, 15 to 60 hours long. That's quite the range.

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

the loading time was crazy, hoping a SSD greatly improves this

 

[aravuus]

As others have mentioned, looks like FC3

Which is one of my favorite SP FPS games of last gen. So, perfectly fine with that.

 

[Auto-Reply]

Watched a couple of the gamersyde videos... unfortunately I must say that this game looks really uninteresting to me. I've played Far Cry 3 two times (360 and PC), maybe I'm burned out a little on the Far Cry format, I don't know. The Elephant fight looked pretty dull and overall the game feels like it's Far Cry 3 with different textures.

Not giving up on the game as this was only my first impression here but I definately don't feel like I need to play this game in the near future.

That's good to hear. I haven't played a Far Cry game since 2, I'm eager to jump back into the series.

That's Aisha Tyler as the arena announcer, isn't it?

All I needed to hear, thank you.

One thing this games nail is the gun sounds, jesus christ that loud as hell sniper was very cool and to kill a enemy on a jeep with a headshot a hundred yards of distance was like O_O



This will be the shooter for me this holidays!

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Wait, is this full campaign co-op or just co-op modes?

 

[SJRB]

Jesus, whoever is playing is fucking TERRIBLE.

Been watching for 15 minutes but I'm done. I can't watch this anymore.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

I believe you can do any open world stuff co-op, but not story. At least that was the case during the last round of previews.

Boss. You play like I do. Stealthed my through as much as I could of FC3. That voice acting by the grunts was hilariously bad.

Is that the Preussian march "Koenigsgraetzer" in the radio? Are you fighting Nazis in this?
Question: Is the campaign fully playable in co-op mode or is it just separate missions?

 

[ypo]

Framerate is terrible, it's like constant ~25fps.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Want mission editor info.

Who's right?

 

[SJRB]

Who's right?

I trust the guy who played it over the guy who analyzes framerates off a video.

 

[Vidpixel]

This game is looking quite awesome. Improved Far Cry 3 gameplay + the absence of Jason Brody = a winning combo to me.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

I believe you can do any open world stuff co-op, but not story. At least that was the case during the last round of previews.

Ah, that's good enough I guess. Thanks!

Question: Is the campaign fully playable in co-op mode or is it just separate missions?

See above.

 

[Alienous]

There's some super duper pop-in going on.

 

[-SD-]

Oh, wow... stopped watching at that elephant bit since it was so comically bad.

 

[Shredderi]

The game is actually taking place before the events of Far Cry 3 and will end with our hero sitting in a bar that is located on some tropical setting far away from Kyrat. He finds himself chatting with a mohawk haired young man and tells him what after all the madness he has seen he thinks is the very definition of insanity. The mohawk haired guy thinks Ajay is bullshitting him and the game cuts to the credits.

Bummer. Why is it always Ubisoft games that do that? If I buy a game like FarCry4 to play with a buddy, I don't want to play alone for 10+ hours to go through the story part and then we can join up. Same with Blacklist or soon AC: Unity.
If they go so far and implement co-op, why not for the story? Seems like a waste.
I don't even care if the second player is acknowledged in cinematics or not, who cares, but this two-tiered campaign stuff for single and coop is a big turn-off for me. Even Hawx had that if I remember correctly. Not buying games with only a part of the content playable via coop.

Awesome dude, this is how you play this game. Stealth all the way.

Visuals look exrtemely impressive for PS4, but one thing that sticks out and always does is the lack of quality AF. Texture filtering really takes a nose dive about 5 feet in front of the player.

Other than that looks beautiful.

 

[Alienous]

Have they done anything to the gameplay loop to differentiate it from Far Cry 3?

 

[Lacix]

10 HQ videos at Gamersyde.

Technically, the PS4 version is much more detailed than Far Cry 3 was on PC back then, with impressive lighting that makes the previous episode look rather bland in comparison.

sounds good

 

[LukasTaves]

Wow, riding on an elephant looks terrible XD

Who though it was a good idea to have an elephant that behaves like a gravity gun throwing stuff around?

 

[jet1911]

Magic ropes?

The sound of the AK is pretty bad too.

 

[normalmode]

Is that the Preussian march "Koenigsgraetzer" in the radio? Are you fighting Nazis in this?

I thought it was Nazi march music was well! I have played enough to get a proper context to criticize its use.

Generally speaking, you can play anything co-op except for the story missions. I'm usually a solo player, but I think I might make an exception with FC4 and play as much co-op as possible.

 

[cackhyena]

Doesn't look like it.

 

[Hik0boshi]

Co-op looks pretty sweet!

 

[Grady]

Looks like a reskin of fc3. Pass.

 

[RyanPierre]

So, 15 to 60 hours long. That's quite the range.

I'm assuming this not going to depart too much from the Ubisoft checklist formula, so that kind of range doesn't surprise me at all.

 

[Wind's Howling]

I don't know.

This stuff does not hype me in the slightest because it just looks like another Far Cry 3 with prettier graphics.

There is nothing new to the gameplay that makes me say it will be worth the Day 1 purchase.

 

[Nokterian]

Directed by the guy who also did AC3..yeah. Will wait for Blood Dragon 2.

 

[paperboywriter]

looks pretty damn stupid

 

[Joco]

Pumped for this. There better be a Blood Dragon 2 DLC for this as well.

 

[slapnuts]

Game looks like a super fun game and visuals "to me at least" look VERY nice...I don't agree with some people saying the graphics are not impressive, they are.

 

[SJRB]

1-hour video from the OP got pulled for some reason.

 

[Vidpixel]

Directed by the guy who also did AC3..yeah. Will wait for Blood Dragon 2.

I wish Blood Dragon could just be its own separate awesome thing instead of simply being an expansion trapped in the Far Cry trappings.
