Ubisoft possibly teasing a new Far Cry [Ubisoft: Nope]

This is Ubisoft. They will prioritise 30fps even in a remaster.

Just like Assassin Creed Ezio Collection...
I'll take 30FPS as long as it's 4K. There really is no excuse for it being 30FPS and capped to 1080p in this day and age. Give me 4K30FPS, and I'll be happy.
 
I would also dig a remastered version. Also adding the co-op from Far Cry 4 would be great. Being able to take out outposts with a friend.

Wing-suit from the start.
 
You are why we can't have nice things!

....60fps is all that matters.

I wish this subjective nonsense wouldn't get trotted out constantly on this board. It's factually incorrect - devs prioritize what matters, and games can be great at 30 or 60.

This is accurate. 60fps makes games play and look better. Why do people want things to play and look worse?

Games usually play better at 60fps, but there are good examples of developers who can deliver an excellent control experience at 30fps even in a racing game.. Stable is mostly what matters. As for "look," again I wish subjective statements wouldn't get trotted out as factual truth here. If anything, I imagine more players - particularly casuals - will feel an effects-heavy 30fps experience will "look" better. Point is, both can look great.
 
I doubt it's a prequel. Seems like a lame idea. I want a new map, not an old one. Shit bring Vass back.
You killed him in a weird drug sequence, say he didn't die.

The only factually incorrect thing on this page is your post calling objective, mathematical facts "subjective nonsense". Higher framerate is better at all times - this isnt an opinion of someone.

Ubisoft open world?

... they tickle my completionist bone like no other game.
I'd triple dip on that remaster, but i'd much rather have a solid prequel.

Just don't do some Pre-sequel thing where Vaas starts off as the kindasorta good guy.

There are dozens of you!!

How is Primal? I need to play that (I like the setting), but I never finish these games.

You're right, but people seem to notice it less than others, or they would rather pretend the difference wasn't there, and some just want the best shiny IQ even if it means the game runs like OoT.

These are all crazy people but hey some prefer the cinematic input lag I guess.

Remaster collection makes sense. Honestly when Ubisoft did the Far Cry Compilation in 2014 I wondered why it wasn't a remaster collection for PS4 and Xbox One. Far Cry 3 ran like shit on PS3 and Xbox 360, and with Far Cry 2 there was a larger-than-normal visual gap between the PC and console versions.

Still, I feel like the next actual Far Cry needs to be a huge leap over the last few. It can't just repeat the formula of 3, 4, and Primal in a new setting. I know Primal was current-gen-only but it was still based on the last-gen design of FC4 right? FC5 needs to feel like a real next-gen leap for the series.

never left the stone age
I'd be up for a remaster if it meant they updated the PC version to utilize my semi poop CPU better so that I can get better performance out of the game

Absolutely agreed. They've done the same game 4 times now (3, 4, BD, Primal). They can't run it back again for a 5th try. It needs to be a huge leap, like you said, and try some new stuff that moves the franchise forward, not some warmed over shit like the half-assed pet dreck from Primal.

It's probably a remaster

I doubt it's a direct sequel since FC4's protagonist was made due to criticism to Jason, and Micheal Mando is busy with Better Call Saul and Spider Man Homecoming
 
Hopefully this one isn't a collectathon shitfest like 4, Primal and (I assume) 3 (haven't played it). Primal in particular would have been much better if they built from the foundation of Far Cry 2.

I thought I would like it at least due to the setting but no.


You know everything you probably dislike about Far Cry 3 and forward? That's in the game. The few redeeming aspects (namely combat that isn't shit) is gone in Primal. Primal's combat system makes Skyrim seem like Devil May Cry, and it's not like the world is interesting. Or the quests are good. Or the writing is good. Or the - you get it.


One of - if not the worst - AAA games I've had the misfortune of playing. I even tried it on survival mode or whatever just to play it differently but it still requires you to use the x-ray vision bs that's in every uninspired AAA game these days among other issues.

Anyone remember how hard it was to run Far Cry 1 back in the day?
Picked up a 6800 Ultra primarily just to play it. Still personally think it is the best in the series, but it is also the first one I experienced. Was nothing quite like it at the time, and I vividly remember just swimming with fish for at least 30 minutes before even playing the actual game.

I'm not in any way interested in a Far Cry game that doesn't have the Blood Dragon subtitle.

And no, a fucking Trials Blood Dragon game will not suffice
 
This is one of the best years in gaming so far. I'm anything but jaded. They have solid franchises in AC and FC and I want to see them do something interesting with them.

Those franchises are solid because they're good games. Saying "Will they forget about their shitty formula and make a good game?" is not the same as saying "I want to see them go in a new direction with Far Cry." It's just a shitty hyperbolic drive-by post.

Far cry franchise since 2012 has pretty much been "hey guys remember FC3? That was cool huh"... Love the game but time to move on

A new Far Cry?

Thanks for stopping into a thread about a specific game just so you can express your absolute disinterest towards said game, very informative.

On topic, I love the FC series to death, probably one of the most consistent series Ubi has under their belt despite some feeling like they tread similar ground to each other. I would love for a brand new one but id be lying if I said I wouldnt pick up a remaster of 3 day one, assuming the upgrade is worth it.

What you said before and your explanation of what it apparently meant don't line up at all. Saying something is essentially shitty considering its formula then turning right around and saying its "solid" doesn't compute. Sounds like you wanted to drive by shit post and got called on it then tried to explain yourself.
 
Ok.. what is different about the PS4 version of Odin Sphere? I played the ps2 version when it came out.. I liked it, but it kinda fell flat for me a lil.

But I loved the gameplay and art.. it just wasn't too deep ( I guess?)

Sorry, what? Think you took a wrong turn.

Edit :Mando could be recording promotional material for a remaster or just some extra lines. So could be either.
