After the mess that was Primal, I don't have any faith in that team pulling off a Far Cry game with a historical setting.
RDR2 is more than enough for me.

As I said in the far cry 5 thread, good luck to ubi if true.
Especially with RDR2 coming soon
Ubisoft would be absolutely braindead to release a western themed game anywhere near RDR2. That would be a Battleborn-tier mistake.
This is the biggest thing for me. Far Cry 5 needs to be the one that feels like an actual next-gen leap and not a copy of the Far Cry 3 template. Despite what some on GAF might say, I want the world to feel bigger. I want it to feel more like a functioning place and less like a compressed theme park.
My ultimate hope is that FC get's back to the immersive sim aspirations the first two games had and that it feels less like a Ubisoft collect-a-thon, but who are we kidding? I hope Ubisoft paid attention to Phantom Pain and Breath of the Wild, because both of those games took a lot of the FC formula but added more emphasis on player freedom and systemic gameplay. Both in my opinion are better Far Cry games than Far Cry 4.
Exactly. Even if I feel MGSV could have executed its own formula far better (more dynamic, emergent encounter variety on the open world), it had numerous moments far more reminiscent of Far Cry 2 than any Far Cry since.
I don't believe Ubisoft will ever go back to that formula, but I just want them to dial back the faux-RPG XP tracking, skill and ability bottlenecking, objective and statistic checklisting, and formulaic game system structure alongside open world design so prevalent in Far Cry 3, 4, and Primal. They're weird in that sense; so formulaic that I just don't feel the experience of play can surprise me, either in discovering something or simply experiencing a unique, emergent sequence. The game systems never really come together in that way for me.
This is the only AAA western that will come out this fall tho2017 year of the western baby
is RDR still coming this year?

This seems like a sad attempt to latch on to RDR2's hype if true.

The more obvious franchise here is Far Cry.
You're right. They saw RDR2's announcement back in October and said 'wow, we gotta get in on that' and hobbled together a working Far Cry game which is going to be out in less than a year's time altogether.
That's totally what happened.
I've never played FC2, but from what I've seen it's one of the most divisive games around. With people either claiming it's a masterpiece or a piece of shit.
So your probably right. Because while the later games might be stale, it's not as divisive as 2.
I think the more obvious franchise would be Red Dead Redemption...
