Well they get points for thinking outside the box at least. First-person melee combat generally sucks though...

If they get into all the cool and weird animals that lived back then, count me in! I want more than just mammoths and sabertooths. Give me giant sloths, Irish elks, all the cools stuff!

I love the setting of this.. The only thing that makes me sad is this is Ubisoft, therefore it will have the Ubisoft formula that I absolutely cannot stand anymore. Here's hoping that they change that formula some which would make me want to purchase it.
 
First person Monster Hunter? Kinda..

4 player co-op to take down big animals would be cool. I think I might be a bit fatigued on the big open island, mountain sync, collectathon though.

There better not be any giant spiders in this game
 
Hold up now... Mirror's Edge, Gravity Rush Remastered, Naruto UNS 4, Deus Ex: MD, and now this all in February? Christ on toast my wallet is in a corner whimpering.

Towers made of Mammut tusks to gain access to more exiting side-quests within an area? Its going to be an Ubisoft game, right!

Maybe Publishers are learning that their early reveals have been detrimental because of graphical downgrades, broken promises, etc...

It's really uncharacteristic of Ubisoft. Compare to their other upcoming releases, where R6 Siege was announced a year and a half ago, AC Syndicate was shown at the beginning of this year, and I don't even know how long ago The Division was announced at this point.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, because god knows the preview/hype cycle has gotten way too long at this point, it's just surprising.
 
Holy shit this is coming out in four months????????

Why did they wait so long to announce it?

It's the right move. 4 months is a perfect amount of time to demonstrate your game without it getting incredibly boring and old news. Watch Dogs, Destiny and Evolve all had this problem. Too much marketing time, I was sick of all of them before I even bought the games.

It helps with spoilers as well. Don't want to give away too much. Fallout is a much bigger name, but it's announce to release is sub-5 months.

So, what do i need to climb to reveal parts of the map.
Also, what language will these primals speak?

Big trees of course.

It would be pretty cool, if they didn't speak English at all and the player would have to guess what's going on.

I am guessing Predator-like shaman powers and waaaaarrrrrgghhhhhing into animals will be part of the game.

Exciting if you get to play from a first-sabertooth tiger perspective.
 
Looks interesting. One of my favorite things about FC4 was using the bow as my primary weapon. Added a bit of a challenge and getting a long kill was a great feeling.

What language are the characters speaking, or is it a language at all?

Bah, I despise hunting animals in real life and I avoided it doing it for FC3/4 as much as possible.

Now it seems to be an even bigger focus in this new FC. =(((((((((((((((

They said they were changing things up back at E3

Another generic, boring Far Cry/Ubisoft open world, now with even more bows and killing mammoths instead of elephants to make bags.

Are you excited?
 
Seeing a woman in the hunting party gives me hope. But the player character sounded like a guy when breathing. Hopefully they'll let you pick between playing as a man and woman.
