yes.
i thought FC4 was awesome.
others may disagree, but the freedom in the game was incredible.

This...is not why I play Far Cry. Skipping this. It's just assets used from Far Cry 4. The thing that makes Far Cry fun is the gunplay and interesting villian. While I like using the bow to stalk animals and kill people...I hardly want it to be the main focus.

I like the idea of a pre-historic game, but killing animals and fighting people with sticks is not going to make compelling gameplay. Farcry is known for its varied and great gun mechanics, without guns what are you going to do, shoot bows for 20 hours?

Well for Far Cry 4 playing single player only or in co-op had no effect on the game, I'm not suggesting they should tack on a crappy versus multiplayer mode, the co-op was very fun and also optional although it was limited
The first few hours of the game suck, but it turns into a lot of fun once you get adequately upgraded and acquire some proper transportation (Wingsuit, Helicopter).
My least favorite part of the game was the forced stealth and survival gameplay at the beginning. It's a lot cooler when you can just run into an enemy camp and mix the badass chain takedowns with the fantastic gunplay and not really have to worry about trying to play it like a shitty version of Metal Gear Solid V.

because you obviously know everything about the game
Which gives me pause for concern. While the setting is neat, I am expecting the rehashed AC treatment to some degree with FC4 assets for the most part. You can even see it in some of the trailer.

So this is Far Cry 5.
I guess they're going to start making annual Far Cry, it's probably why they got rid of numbers on Assassin's Creed too. Hard to get hyped for "Far Cry 9: same shit again"

i ain't no expert but isn't this the period when the glaciers retreat/sea levels rise/forests grow/climate becomes normal....and all the megafauna are (all bar a few) extinct?

And that is relevant to a game made in 2015, why?
Anyway, there is a woman in the hunting party and Ubisoft has been trying to be more inclusive lately. I'd hope they'd let you pick between male and female in a game like this.

This is easily the most exciting Far Cry game ever for me,( I fucking love this era of Earths history!), but man, those are some incredibly pale people for a game set thousands of years before any humans evolved white skin.
I know these games have to sell to racists (for some reason), but still, disappointing.

It's refreshing to see something new and risky from a AAA developer, especially one that is known for playing it safe.
Sure, it's an addition to an established franchise (they had to mitigate some risk), but it looks like a unique setting and concept for a modern action FPS

Well, Ubisoft Montreal is an enormous studio, and they are only releasing on 3 platforms this time while probably reusing the Dunia engine and some FC4 assets.So this gen they only need one year and three months to make a new Far Cry game?

This is what I think Ubisoft is going for.
Modern day settings will be only the main Far Cry games like 3, 4, 5, 6 ..etc the ones with numbers after them. Those will have guns and vehicles.
The crazy ones like Blood Dragon and Primal will be the spin-offs, without numbers.

Well I mean, you can bet it's going to have a side character or two who is either a PoC, a woman or an LGBT+ individual because it's Ubi so that they cover their bases.
Wont be an issue as long as the combat system is in depth and has enough varied animations

It's like Skyrim without guns

Set in the Mesolithic period (because of the first territorial claims of mankind)
Survival aspect : you can be hunted by both men and animals, you're not at the top at the food chain at least at the beginning
Big, dense, diversified world
They used the "great areas" of archeology (about culture and the daily lives)
The combat and movement systems were re-thinked for the era (obviously)

Oh shit, I forgot about Deus Ex. Now I know I am skipping this. At least for awhile, if it turns out to be worth a damn.

wouldn't be a foolish bet to say that guns likely aren't in it

From what I'm reading between those periods where mega fauna were abundant, when they died out and the time period this game takes place is, they've got a cushion of a few thousand years to work with for these animals to still be around for 'historical accuracy'.

I am skeptical about the removal of guns from an FPS series.

So GTA open world killing people fun and Far Cry killing animals fun.
Mmmm, ok.
Setting is so interesting and I know graphics are going to be good but Ubi... why wasting time and ressources on a reskin? Make a damn new game, you have all the right ingredients here.

They don't want to risk releasing their games this fall because there is Metal Gear and Fallout 4.
Actually women were almost worshipped back then. They were seen as godlike, because, no joke, they could bleed and not die and gave birth.
A game try's a different setting and people shit on it because they want guns.
Wait wait they actually going introduce food aspect please bring in a drinking water and eating to stay alive aspect. It something wanted past games be fun and they could use it for higher difficulty so people can't ignore if wanted.
