Probably is like every single of his posts.

Haven't we all, just as a species, decided to just gloss over the whole "Humans and dinosaurs never co-existed" thing? Doesn't the Rule of Cool just automatically win?

Probably not with that great gameplay and ideas they planned back thenWe are talking about Ubi here.
Collect some feathers here, climb a tower there.
Well, seeing as BC was a Molyneux game, ideas would have been the only thing going for it.

I like the snipes rifles, heavy machine guns, flamethrowers, and wingsuits from these games. If there are analogous elements then great, but I'm curious to see what kind of meaningful weapon and transportation diversity we're going to see in that setting.
Guerilla's Horizon Zero Dawn has the advantage of its unique blend of ancient sci-fi technology mixed with the prehistoric survival themes - will be interested to see what Ubisoft does to stand out.

Any idea when this will be revealed? I kinda hope for a complete full new game and not something with the size of a add on. No dinos is a huge fucking bummer though.There goes my hope for even something remotely similar to Turok.

just opened up the stream after leaving for a couple of hours and laughed my ass off. This shit is still going? Its like a joke at this point.
It is being revealed before our very eyes. Just not very fast.
Well of course it does. Horizon is true to history, not like this made up nonsense ubisoft is churning out.

so what will we have to climb this time in order to view the surrounding landscapes?

On topic, I became a fan of far cry after playing FC4 last year, loved it. It it is a prehistoric far cry, it's going the be strange playing without a powerful arsenal of fire weapons.
Stick on fire will be OP.
Yeah, it's actually really neat, I think. I expect it to be pretty influenced by the recent rise of survival games. You are a rather vulnerable human in a hostile, savage world. A world where civilization does not yet exist. I hope they can capture not only the beauty of such an untouched world, but also the savagery and fear that must have been a part of life then. This could be something fascinating.

As long as it doesn't have the ubisoft formula, it could be something great.

I know.
I don't understand your point. Anything prehistoric is a positive in my book. We also need more Dino games.
Nobody's forcing you to sit there looking at it all the time... This is an interesting way to reveal a game. Far better than many of the more traditional methods anyway. At least it's got people talking.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. As long as people buy it, Ubi will sell it.
I'm not sure how it will work in this setting though, but if they could shoehorn it into a driving game, they can put it in this one. Maybe you climb a big tree and knock some nesting creatures out of it?
When presented with an obstacle in real life, I am forced to submit and walk around it. But in ubisoft games, nay. I ascend! I conquer my surroundings with minimal to no effort!
Solid objects are a restriction to me in the real world. Why must I be forced to these boundaries in the confines of the digital world? Must I accept the flexibility of a piece of wet toast, because I can play tennis in your open world? Because you have given me a multitude of vehicles to drive at my behest?
Bah to that. The monotony of automation doesn't compare to the violent sexual thrill I receive while scaling a tower with the hands I was given! The grunting, primal sounds of ascension.
No. No more. I will not sit idly by while the very act of ascending is mocked. As humans, we must strive to ascend beyond our limits. We must grasp the heavens!
Ubisoft should be regarded for giving us this opportunity to reach out to the heavens by simply holding 2 buttons! No skill required. Anyone can ascend. To reach the skies and look down and see how small and fragile our world is through and elaborate camera pan.
Then, in a moment of enlightenment, they show us our surroundings. The secrets it hides. Not only do they let us reach the skies, but to become the masters of our own domain as well!
Have you not passed by a building with a birds nest on it, and said "I would like to get there?"
Ubisoft gives you that chance. To go above our limits and collect a memento of our accomplishment by claiming a piece of the creature as our own.
Blessed be unto Ubisoft. For they give us the ability to transcend our fleshy bodies who are doomed to navigate the x and z , to transcend the Y axis.
They like climbing things, we get it. We don't need dozens of drive by posts stating the obvious

So Ubisoft decided to make a prehistoric Far Cry game but it doesn't have any dinosaurs in it? Sounds like a wasted opportunity to me. Mammoths, cave bears and Smilodon are cool and all, but nothing comes close to dinosaurs when it comes to extinct animals IMO. Still sounds like a really interesting game though.
Even better: just sell the game in a box with a piece of paper saying "think of a game yourself" so you can just imagine you're playing the new Far Cry. No micro transactions, no trying to remember what character is which, it takes place in your own environment, and even better: no glitches. Hell, just pretend you're playing something not made by Ubisoft!

I predict that this stream runs until E3 2016 where it get's announced as an iOS exclusive.
Well, I imagine they wanted to create a semi-realistic rendition of the stone age.

No dinos can be forgiven if they give us weird shit like Enteledons, 7 foot tall carnivorous prehistoric pigs:

yes, a wasted opportunity on a setting that is almost never used in video games, books or movies.

Up to the minute cave drawings.
Reminds me of the backdrop in the WiLD reveal trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVcv4lihhUQ
Not sure what's happened to this game, looking forward to seeing more anyway.
I like more devs are exploring this setting, more prehistoric themes the better! I guess we kind of have Horizon: ZD also.

I hope this game is just first person mega fauna monster hunter. Really hope they actually go nuts with it, and not just restrict their stuff to the cast of ice age.
I still find the setting very interesting. It's just that dinosaurs are more interesting than prehistoric mammals in my book. I've loved dinosaurs since I was a kid, so...
Yeah, but Blood Dragon has well, dragons. I want a pure dinosaur game. Something like Ark and Primal Carnage.
Hey, this is actually a great idea. I sort of thought of this as a potential Far Cry game but never expected Ubisoft to actually do it.
Yeah, this would be awesome.

That would be beyond evil, not even Ubi is that heartless.

I'm liking this stone age/prehistoric far cry setting. Dinos are cool but stone age-ish setting are extremely rare for this kind of game and the animals of that age even less so.
