Trailer is good... the only good thing Ubisoft can do.

 

[DirtyLarry]

Just preordered this yesterday thanks to my new Gamers Club Unlocked membership at Best Buy which made me realize I had a $10 Reward Zone Certificate expiring in 9 days. It was between this and AC:Unity, but I really am not happy about the forced parity with Unity at all and am really trying to vote with my wallet there, so hopefully I made the right choice.

The original Far Cry is actually one of my Top 10 FPS's of all time. I also liked 2. Was not a huge fan of 3 however, so hoping I do like this one.

 

[Warm Machine]

Looks incredible. Every year developers have been topping themselves.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

So, Max Payne 3?

Heh. Yeah, but more remote and with a lot more nature in it.

Far Cry as in "A far cry from civilization".

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

The only interesting looking game from Ubisoft all year. Still undecided on it though.

 

[Zakalwe]

FC3 was brilliant until the second island.

If they improved where FC3 lacked this will very likely be the best FPS of 2014.

Fingers crossed.

 

[BloodMoney]

Trailer was fantastic. One of the best cut trailers I've seen. The game however, just seems more of Far Cry 3. That got pretty redundant midway through the game.

A major criticism of FC3 was that the 2nd island was far less diverse and far less populated (with campaign characters) than the first. It seemed like a rush job. The second island was just more of the same. Fortunately, my biggest take-away from the FC4 trailers that have been released, is the huge diversity in environments. Plains, jungle, mountains, mountain peaks, and Shangri-la....

I hope Ubi learned from FC3's sterile 2nd act.

 

[Bandit1]

Heh. Yeah, but more remote and with a lot more nature in it.

Far Cry as in "A far cry from civilization".

Yeah, looks cool. I'll probably pick it up, might get Far Cry 3 in the meantime.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

it is me of there are a couple of character models in Farcry 3 that look a bit better than some of what they shown?

 

[Haxxona]

Looks even better on gamersyde!

 

[nelsonroyale]

Narrative seems...quite ambitious...I wonder if they can pull it off...?

 

[Eggbok]

This is like the 400th trailer

 

[Ulysses 31]

Looks alright, will wait for some trustworthy reviews first.

 

[Furyous]

Is there a moral choice system in this game? If so, what are the choices? This trailer looks great though that giant fish scares the shit out of me. Other than that it, looked solid.

 

[Lettuce]

I douno, im not getting the same excitement that Far Cry 3 trailers game me...

[SketchTheArtist]

The game however, just seems more of Far Cry 3.

It's almost like it's a sequel or something.

Great trailer by the way.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Editor info...where is it?

 

[Rosur]

Still need to get round to playing Far Cry 3, though if I enjoy that I'll probably pick up this next year.

 

[allftw]

I'm loving these trailers with covers of classic songs. They're doing a great job marketing the game.

 

[Ricker]

As soon as I finish Dragon Age Inquisition,I will play the hell out of this...unless I juggle the two...plus GTA...damn you November 18 th lol...

 

[woen]

Looks like the same story as FC3, rebels with ancestral culture in distant territory that need protection against a terrorist organisation with money and a crazy funny cynical leader full of charisma.

But the lead narrative director on FC4 who worked on the level design of FC3 criticized the narrative of FC3 so I guess it'll be better than what we know and what is shown in this trailer.

Looks like GTA5 FPS

Spoiler

/s

You're joking but now that we know GTAV has a full FPS mode with more custom options than Far Cry 4 I don't believe R* chose November 18th randomly. They're trolling Ubisoft.

 

[Braag]

It looks great. I really liked FC3 but I can't get excited for the setting of FC4 for some reason and Min doesn't seen nearly as interesting as Vaas did. I'll probably wait a while before picking this up, November is way too busy as it is.

 

[antitrop]

Still need to get round to playing Far Cry 3, though if I enjoy that I'll probably pick up this next year.

Skip 3 and just play this one instead.

 

[ironcreed]

As soon as I finish Dragon Age Inquisition,I will play the hell out of this...unless I juggle the two...plus GTA...damn you November 18 th lol...

Yeah, that is kind of my plan. I am already getting swamped and the best is yet to come.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Skip 3 and just play this one instead.

Vaas deserves the attention though.

 

[antitrop]

Vaas deserves the attention though.

Watch the cutscenes on YouTube.

 

[Evo X]

THAT GLORIOUS NVIDIA FUR TECH.

 

[The Antitype]

Looking forward to Far Cry 4, but hey Ubisoft, how about a Far Cry 3 update for the next-gen consoles so we can enjoy it with full texture detail and a stable framerate?

Just port the PC version, quick and dirty, sell it for 15 bucks. I'm in.

 

[Slixshot]

Does the entire game have 2 player coop?

 

[allftw]

Does the entire game have 2 player coop?

Everything besides the main missions I believe.

 

[Slixshot]

Everything besides the main missions I believe.

Interesting, thank you

 

[Night Hunter]

"Bonus Harpoon Gun" will never not be funny after the thing with the Elephant trailer ...

 

[jimdopango]

Got a strong "white man's burden" vibe out of that trailer, but that goes with the spirit of the series, I guess. Also, no mo-cap? This kind of Uncharted-ish art style does not look very good without motion capture, specially the lip syncing.

 

[DukeBobby]

Hopefully the villain is on screen for more than 15 minutes in this one.

 

[Night Hunter]

Got a strong "white man's burden" vibe out of that trailer, but that goes with the spirit of the series, I guess.

How so? Isn't the player character Kyratian?

 

[vypek]

How so? Isn't the player character Kyratian?

Thats what I thought. I thought the only white character was Hurk or something.

 

[Asd202]

That was dope but I'm on DAI and Smash train right now.

 

[namDa65]

goddamn goddamn. Fantastic trailer. Hit me right in the feels.

 

[RespectThySole]

I'm already swamped with games and there are even more coming on the 11th and 18th. Idk how I'm going to have time to play them all. Might have to give this a pass for now depending on impressions.

 

[olore]

That was a trailer worthy of a blockbuster movie

 

[garath]

Wow. That was impressive. I loved far cry 3 but it got pretty dull and samey near the end. The gameplay footage I've seen of 4 so far looks exactly the same

I can't decide between this and Unity for the nvidia promo!

Do the graphics really look that good on PC? That'd be a big draw.

 

[Ulysses 31]

C'mon, it's Ubisoft, they're no strangers to showing trailers with prettier effects/graphics not present in the final game.

 

[orochi91]

Impressive.

I liked the Kyrat Survival trailer better.

This one is good too, though.

 

[jimdopango]

How so? Isn't the player character Kyratian?

Born in Kyrat, raised in the USA without knowing much of anything about his native country. My feeling is that he is being presented as the cultured outsider who is there to bring order to chaos and civilization to the savages. The classical Kipling trappings.

There always a chance that they'll make something interesting out of that (some kind of Apocalypse Now scenario, for example), but judging from this trailer I'm not holding my breath.

 

[DaciaJC]

Sick stuff!!

Do we know if this will have dinamyc weather like in FC3?

Outof nowhere storms were atmospheric as hell, I sure hope is in though it wouldnt make sense if they took that out.

FC3 had dynamic weather? I don't recall experiencing any sort of rain or thunderstorm across 50 hours in that game. FC2, on the other hand ...

 

[RdN]

Far Cry is always fun.. I just wish it wouldn't come out now, way too much games.

 

[Mik2121]

Cool, but do we have any editor video? I really wanna see how the level editor for this one looks!

 

[Aces&Eights]

When can we preload this? Got it paid in full along with ACU. Shit, I still need to pay off LBP and Dragons Age. Fuck. That's four games not counting GTAV.

Gonna be a lean christmas for the family, lol

 

[Raptor]

FC3 had dynamic weather? I don't recall experiencing any sort of rain or thunderstorm across 50 hours in that game. FC2, on the other hand ...

Saw it a vid long time ago but maybe Im confusing this with another game lol.

 

[legacyzero]

Cool, but do we have any editor video? I really wanna see how the level editor for this one looks!

Supposed to be any day now. The Editor will be useless if Multiplayer is handled like FC3, though.
