A smart use of existing resources.
What if more devs start doing this, would you be ok with that?

What else would you call this? fan service? easter egg?
As you said no excuse.
MGSV is a Metal Gear Solid game yet it doesn't have the same animations as MGS4.
They used the height map. The world is extremely different, as is the game itself. Not to mention how much nicer it looks and runs as well.
They copy and pasted the design of the two maps (released one year apart) and people are giving them props for it. Amazing.
Games are getting more and more expensive to make, this wont be something new in the years to come.What if more devs start doing this, would you be ok with that?
Precisely. I played both games and never noticed. Primal is greatIf noone noticed until now who cares
You dont consider not creating a completely new world minimal work?Minimal work? Jesus guys.
Are you kidding? Far Cry 4 runs better than Primal. Even with Nvidia effects (which are missing from Primal so it looking better is up to debate)
It most definitely is but if it's different enough in other ways and fun who cares honestly

They couldn't have at least mirrored it?
Not on consoles. Not the only one to notice it, either. And it damn sure looks better.
"If I haven't seen it, it's new to me!"Didn't play FC4 so it's all new to me!
Replace "effort" with "time and money"Not really if you compare AC: Syndicate to Primal. Clearly some developers actually puts more effort into creating new locations and adding new gameplay elements, and new animations.
More than me apparently. I have boycotted Far Cry games. From the same ubi behavior.Right. The game world is so different you can barely even recognize it, not to mention how different the game itself is. It also looks and runs better and has improved effects. But then again, I am playing the game. What do I know?
How can you hate a map?I hated fc4 map
What if more devs start doing this, would you be ok with that?
I sure don't care . saves me a bunch of money because I already played FC4. don't need it again with new "skin"

When you already have an engine and a world created for you to make further enhancements, they damn well make improvements.

idk but if we're talking about cross-gen vs next-gen only you could compare MGS4 to MGSV and V has completely new animations, hell even a new engine.
money is definitely no issue at Ubisoft.
It's a good thing your new animations and new engine basically bankrupted the company and caused in the firing of the entire production staff.
It's good business sense to reuse assets, it happens literally all the time. Hell, Dark Souls is the king of asset reuse and I absolutely love that series.
They certainly did as well. And you are not going to play these two games and come away thinking that they are the same worlds. Because they really are not, even though they share height maps. The game is very much different and they obviously put a hell of a lot into the world itself. Something that is blatantly obvious when you actually are playing it.
hold on, that outline seems familiar
I will play it eventually, just not for the price they're asking for it. Sure I bet I'll enjoy the game like I did with Syndicate, but all I'm trying to say is that I hope they take notes from some of the games they're releasing that aren't doing well recently and fix those issues in future iterations.
He looks like he's pooping
If noone noticed until now who cares
bankrupt? where did you get that info from? AFAIK they're still looking for staff to make the new Metal Gear game.
I love how most of the negativity towards this game are from people who have no interest in ever buying it. The game is a far cry from being a simple rehash of 4.
