Loved 3 and 4 so no complaints here.
Yep. Frankly, though, it's such a bold idea in the first place that I don't think they're going to shoehorn anything ridiculous like that. I think they're going to keep it pretty grounded in the past.
However, I can still imagine silly 'hallucination' missions like those godawful FC4 ones (the two junkie guys) which might transport us to 'the future'.
I don't think it's that there's anything inherently wrong with it – it's that Ubisoft are relying on it too heavily. And others are starting to mimic the pattern.
As games in their own right I like every one of Ubi's open world games. But I can't deny it's a big sigh moment when I see another climbable tower to expose map/POIs.

Yesterday I cared. Now this is just annoying.
Yeah, it was neat at first, but get to the point UBI

You will all be disappointed. I can feel it.
Well, duh. I'm obviously talking about this 24h livestream nightmare.

What if it's a teaser for a teaser and a trailer at Paris game week?

In Far Cry its kind cool cause of the landscapes, but yeah, I agree it becomes a bit repetitive. They should add different things to dominate the map other than climbing towers and taking posts. Yet, in Far Cry things happen all the time, so it helps to make it feel fresh longer than usual.
But other than Far Cry I think only Assassin's Creed abuse from it, doesn't it? I mean, in Watch_Dogs you had to hack those CToS centers. The big issue, as always, is needing to do it for like 10 times till the end of the game to unlock all the areas missions. They should add more variety in missions and overall stuff (that goes to all their open world games).
Thank god they, until this date, kept those thousands of Assassin's Creed collectibles and mobile apps away from their other games. Hopefully they keep it away.

I didn't mind Farcry 3 but my god I found Farcry 4 to be one of the most generic open world games I ever played. Bored me to tears.
I really hope they mix this up if it's a spinoff like Blood Dragon.

Maybe it's just me but i liked far cry 4 better than 3. That mini helicopter has been my favorite new gimmick this gen. Took down so many outposts with that baby.

maybe on the mechanics side (its no secret there's a common formula running through their open world games), but the worlds themselves are always realized well with unique character.
generic sounds wrong

Is it really not revealed yet?
What are you doing Ubisoft...

Between this and that dumb Deus Ex twitch thing I really hope these stupid over-drawn teases don't become a common thing.
Yep this would of worked if it was 3hrs or so not 24 with IGN turkeys leak...

I guess we will know in 2 1/2 hours from now on. Then it's 24 hours. Hopefully.

It was a genius idea until 8 hours in and everybody lost their interest. At least give us a countdown!
they should've just run it for a couple hours then played a reveal trailer

I've always quite enjoyed the gunplay of Far Cry.

I can't seem to wrap my head around how an FC game without any guns would work.
I mean beyond a handful of caveman weapons I'm not sure what else they could do. Will keep an open mind though...

Hahahaha wow, I love reading the confusion and frustration that some of you seem to have with this.
''I could go outside, do something else. This is stupid, why are they doing this? WHAT DOES IT MEAN AND WHY DID IT ZOOM BACK!!''

Honestly after cock teasing this long the damn game should be a full fledged release. Its probably not though, just something the size of Blood Dragon

It's zooming back in now.....will it stop and then slowly zoom back out again?
God, I hope not. I want something the size of Far Cry 4.

So no actual weaponry, just bows and hunt for animals, again with mystic powers in the middle of the game (from the painting). How can you actually name this a Far Cry game? Gosh, from the concept of the first Far Cry which was all about island and weapons, to where it went now.
Or prehistoric from a post-apocalyptic event with available weapons ? Horizon Zero Dawn. Now games are being copied. At least Horizon Zero Dawn has original fresh new concept. Run out of ideas, Ubi ? I hope so to be original, but I take it back.

What? Bows, spears, and swords are all weaponry, guns are guns, weapons have always existed.
Also, what legacy? Far cry 3 was already a complete departure from the far cry 1 formula.

Having come back to this thread..STILL to find nothing exciting shown...is this a big troll from Ubi.Oh dear

I was referring to shooting bullets, hold a gun since the series is all about first person shooter. Bow, spears, swords are not my type of games (Skyrim, not that I hate or dislike them), but I have no problem if they are in Fallout universe since it plays differently.

Curious if this will be the Far Cry 5 release for 2016. Would be nice for them to make a drastic change, since 3 and 4 were in my opinion too similar.

maybe it features a timetraveler that brings some guns back with him to the ice age, lol

Bow was pretty goddamn satisfying, though.
