even ubi swiss said fuck this

 

[Kezen]

Perhaps they are still thinking about a substitute for the towers in the prehistoric area.

Trees most likely.

 

[Sid]

I hope they shake up the FC formula....

 

[ThatGuy]

Probably game announcement today and full reveal in Game Informer this thursday. Would match with the reveal of the new GI cover this week.

 

[benny_a]

Yes. Q4 finishes at the end of March.

Receipts.gif of your calendar that starts April 2015 and ends in March 2016.

note - this is an assumption they follow the April - March fiscal year, which I think they do.

They do.

Do you otherwise?

Yeah, as I'm not a corporation my year ends when the year changes.

Far Cry: Ice Age: The Meltdown

 

[Ducktail]

Why are people even bringing up dinosaurs? Have people skipped their History lessons?

 

[SmackAttack]

B.C.: Before Creed

 

[etta]

Is this from Beetlejuice? Man, I really gotta watch that this Halloween.

 

[orochi91]

No dinosaurs

Good!

Dinosaurs are overrated, especially since no one bothers to portray them properly by always opting for scales over feathers.

 

[gai_shain]

Why are people even bringing up dinosaurs? Have people skipped their History lessons?

because its a game

 

[SJRB]

No dinosaurs

Dope as FUCK.

 

[0racle]

What if the image is tatooed on the back of a dudebro future war soldier? NAILED IT

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Time to climb randomly scattered big fucking trees to unlock parts of the map.

Would be nice though if this game didn't follow the tired as fuck Ubisoft Open World™ blueprint.

.

 

[Kezen]

Good!

Dinosaurs are overrated, especially since no one bothers to portray them properly by always opting for scales over feathers.

Dinosaurs would also mean creating all new assets and animations. I'm under the assumption that the game in question is not AAA but a mere reskin/spin-off.

 

[Jack Scofield]

If this really is Far Cry, I wonder how they'll make an entire game with no actual guns.

 

[Kacho]

Why are people even bringing up dinosaurs? Have people skipped their History lessons?

Christopher Columbus sailed to America and found dinosaurs but this caused a shift that changed the climate around the globe dramatically. After many years the dinosaurs slowly died off and the pilgrams domesticated sabertooth tigers and mammoths iirc.

 

[Summer Haze]

A pre-historic/tribal Far Cry would be so up my alley.

 

[sflufan]

Next Ubisoft announcement:

Ubisoft announces the closure of its Switzerland studio for "consolidation" and the transfer of all its staff to Ubisoft Romania and Ubisoft Bulgaria.

 

[Ghostmaster]

This reveal is going to take hours, there isn't even a line from that sacrifice scene on the image right now.

 

[orichalcos]

Mammoth? C&C or RA prehistoric sequel?

 

[Scotia]

I'm so happy this is an Ice Age game. Can't wait to see some gameplay for this.

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

What are the chances for a 2015 Holiday Release?

 

[Jawmuncher]

No dinosaurs? Where to fuck it up UBI. Yeah they're not historically accurate but it's not like the series is all that realistic. Aside from who you might ask about Far Cry 2.

 

[Setsuna]

Time to climb randomly scattered big fucking trees to unlock parts of the map.

Would be nice though if this game didn't follow the tired as fuck Ubisoft Open World™ blueprint.

Get out of here with this bullshit already

 

[matrixman92]

This reveal is going to take hours, there isn't even a line from that sacrifice scene on the image right now.

yeah, this is probably several more hours now. Got the whole mammoth to go on the right

 

[Blackthorn]

A campy cavemen versus dinosaurs game would have been cool.

I mean we could go all historically accurate and play as dinosaurs but they have a crippling lack of firearms.

 

[Calderc]

Jesus Christ, hurry the fuck up already.

 

[0racle]

Get out of here with this bullshit already

Alright, a brontosaurus neck. Better ?

 

[abracadaver]

This will take at least another 12 hours until its complete

 

[pelican]

What are the chances for a 2015 Holiday Release?

I doubt it, but ask the guy who is being pedantic over my fiscal year question. ;p

He seems in the know.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Yeah, by this speed it's gonna take a while. Like 10h +.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Leave the dinosaurs for Blood Dragon 2.

Laser mounted dinos or not at all.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

I'm starting to think this is gonna be another spin-off in the same vein as Blood Dragon rather than a full-out sequel.

 

[Graphics Horse]

If this really is Far Cry, I wonder how they'll make an entire game with no actual guns.

Get rid of the cannon fodder.

 

[Sid]

Yup,they keep reusing the same shit in AC and FC.

 

[Cptkrush]

People in here acting like there's been tons of dinosaurs in video games... fuckin' a. It's been nearly a decade since we've had a AAA dinosaur experience. Also the poll from back in the day for FarCry specifically mentioned dinosaurs. So if there are no dinos in this game, I'm gonna be bummed the hell out.

 

[benny_a]

I doubt it, but ask the guy who is being pedantic over my fiscal year question. ;p

He seems in the know.

I think it's pretty clear to randomly bringing up fiscal year in a game announcement thread seems to be motivated by trying to look in the know.

 

[Hexa]

So why are people calling this Far Cry Sigma?

 

[0racle]

This may take untill Thursday to coincide with GI cover.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Does it mean the game is coming soon or the reveal? We could be sat here for months.

 

[mreddie]

Yeah, by this speed it's gonna take a while. Like 10h +.

It's gonna be...

 

[Alienous]

What the hell is the point?

I hope I can overhear conversions between bears about 'fucking Jason Brody' wreaking havoc across the area, all in a thick South African accent. Is there any other reason to play Far Cry?

 

[feli]

So why are people calling this Far Cry Sigma?

"Far Cry Sigma" appears in Steam registry

 

[etta]

That would be hilarious.

 

[Asriel]

This obsession with dinosaurs is eye-roll inducing.

It would definitely be cool to see a realistic take on prehistoric times.

 

[Interfectum]

Yup,they keep reusing the same shit in AC and FC.

Watch Dogs too.
