I would love if they had a third person camera option, but I know it won't happen.

 

[oti]

I can totally see why they reveal it before E3. At E3 this would've been "another Far Cry". This way they have more time to flesh out their narrative and they'll have all the podcasts talking about it for a solid week without big competition (presumably).

 

[Golgo 13]

Love the teasers, very haunting and dark. My guess is that it will be a mature rated game LULZ.

Please be good.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

I... I would be ok if it's something like...

Seriously, an Elmore Leonard inspired game is a must buy for me.

 

[Alebrije]

Really hope is not western themed.

 

[Obliterator]

Yeah this is gonna be a pretty damn interesting setting / story for sure.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Wait, focus testing is still a thing in 2017? I thought we all agreed actual customers are the best source of feedback? The "leaked" details come from an apparent focus tester for the game.

Why do you think we still get shitty movies and unoriginal ideas in them?

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Read that "leak settings" post. Sign me the fuck up if true. I'm down for some religious cult/KKK hunting in FC5.

I didn't read the leak but that is what it is about? Oh my.

 

[Col.Asher]

Doesn't the trailer say Montana on it?
Anyway I like the tease

Yea, i'm thinking things like flathead lake, some of the resevoirs, and canyons. Montana has a variety of different landscapes.

 

[Giraffe Keighley]

Fantastic teaser

 

[Lord of Castamere]

That guy ringing the bell with the dead woman is creepy as hell.

That teaser is something else. Amazing grace on the wind, bell ringing, sharp cut to black. Fantastic.

 

[Hydrus]

That guitar riff at the end of every video is gonna become a meme isnt it?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Of course you can. It's not the head making the bell sound, it's the force of the head moving the bell so that the clapper strikes against the bell.

I'm not sure if this would work with a huge church bell.

Wouldn't a focus tester be an actual customer hence why they do these things? All mediums and markets still use them. Lol

Plus according to that leak what he saw was over a year or so ago.

 

[Kinyou]

Those are some real horror vibes. Should be interesting

 

[Diancecht]

Is this a spooky Far Cry, or what?

 

[Big Chungus]

Yep, it's middle America.

I wonder why?

north america

hehe

 

[ArchedThunder]

Any giant birds of prey in Montana? Are we gonna be killed by bald eagles?

Hawks and eagles.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Squeel like a pig?

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

hot damn, feeling good right now. aint mad for more westerns

 

[Fried Food]

Haven to played FC since 3, so I'm ready.

 

[NotLiquid]

So they're doing the Hobo With A Shotgun thing where the location is called "Hope" but it's actually an ironic name and the location is in reality infested with atrocity?

 

[VeeP]

Wow. Interesting vibe from the little we know of. I'm really into this whole small town, evil lurking, etc thing. So I'm interested Ubisoft. Hopefully the trailer blows me away.

 

[Raven117]

Im a sucker for western themed games. We don't have enough.

FarCry 5 and Red Dead? Give'em to me.

 

[KOHIPEET]

The one with the bell got me just fine

 

[Truant]

This is fucking awesome. Right up my alley.

 

[bombshell]

Huh. I went back and found the Great Falls Tribune article about the live action trailer being made and seems they'd edited it since to remove any mention of Hope County and the size of the game as well as the September release comments.

Ubi ninjas got them. Lol

Nope, still there.

http://www.greatfallstribune.com/st...rew-poplar-shoot-scenes-video-game/101241072/

However, it's not talking about the size of the game.

Producers couldn’t release the name of the video game but said production areas for it stretched more than 5,000 miles from California to Montana.

The backstory of the video game, which will be released in September, is of a world that takes place in an imaginary location, Guillot said.

 

[lucebuce12]

Killing shitty racist militia people is my jam. I'm hoping that's the reason you're there.

Agreed, it was one of the most satisfying parts of Mafia 3.

 

[Tonton]

Never played a Far Cry, but these teasers are pretty cool, I'm curious about the game

 

[ArchedThunder]

Yea, i'm thinking things like flathead lake, some of the resevoirs, and canyons. Montana has a variety of different landscapes.

My guess is that the western part of the map will be Rockies inspired mountains, middle will be prairie with rivers and a lake or two and the east will be badlands.

 

[Stiler]

How are they going to fit the "far cry" style of game into this setting?

I mean it's REALLY gonna take you out of the setting if the game plays like Far Cry 3/4.

I hope they actually subdue that kind of gameplay and go for a more realistic take in terms of navigation and use of violence.

Would be REALLY out of place having you go around like the other games.

Hope they model it after say, Justified, in terms of narrative/structure.

I mean it's no more unrealistic in other games, but I'm sure there will be more modern vehicles and weapons.

But there are some pretty secluded places in American once you get to more rural and open spaces.

Most of Montana is nothing but secluded places.

 

[kaskade]

Glad it's not a western as Red Dead Redemption 2 already has that covered. I really like the idea for this setting good on them for trying something different.

 

[OléGunner]

Cool teasers. Also glad we're getting gameplay reveal in just a couple days!

 

[Simo]

Ah. There was more to the story though they retracted. It originally revealed Hope County as the location And the surrounding areas.

How does being set in America change anything?

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Okay, if it does involve fighting a crazy cult, I'm in

I wouldn't be surprised if scales a little back and focuses even more on stealth. After all does horror only really work if you feel underpowered.

 

[Vuze]

Could be nice but my expectations are super low. FC4 bored me to death. Primal was pretty damn nice but ultimately too long as well.
Good setting can't make up for awful gameplay / mechanics.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Cool teasers. Also glad we're getting gameplay reveal in just a couple days!

it says worldwide reveal not gameplay. I bet we get a lenghty gameplay demonstration at the E3 Ubi press conference.

 

[MetalliCabombination]

0 interest in the setting but it looks kinda spooky so ill keep an eye out

 

[R_thanatos]

much more intresting than "primal" .. i'm intrested ..waiting for the reveal

 

[Alebrije]

Think is an actual rural murica and not an old western game, the teaser of the guy running and get shooted show at the far some modern grain storage silos.

Also think this is moving more to RDR undead nightmare and changing traditional Far Cry mechanics. Not saying it will be about zombies , it seems more creepier/ obscure.

Or the teaser with overhead power lines in it. It's definitely not wild west.

We already know it's modern day Montana.

 

[Setsuna]

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.

Its nice to not know anything about Development right?

 

[Javier23]

That can't possibly be real graphics right? I won't believe it until I'm playing it.

Yeah, I'm definitely expecting a downgrade with this one.

 

[NealMcCauley]

If there are any zombie types it'll probably something like meth or pill addicts.

Ubi should go all out with how depressing rural/small town life has become.

 

[GavinUK86]

Live action trailers are always a bit weird.

Looking forward to some gameplay.

Guess it's set in the modern day and not in the Wild West. Slightly disappointing.
