E3 is close my friends
Totally down with a Far Cry: Vaas, such a great character that was misused.
I understand some people wanting Far Cry 3 remastered on these consoles but as someone who recently beat 4 I'm burned out on the same formula.
Hopefully, if this is a new game, they actually try new things.

I hear it'll be called Far Cry Towers.

Eh, I hope this ends up tying into a Blood Dragon sequel. Having that batshit insane character tied into a world of dinosaurs, vampires, and Vietnam would be perfect.
A prequel on 3's map, or a remaster, would be such meh.

Ooooohh. I'd totally be down for something set before Far Cry 3, with Vaas featured prominently. Far Cry 3 is the only Far Cry I've ever played but I really enjoyed it, and Vaas was a great villian, and very underused.
I've only played maybe a few hours of Far Cry 4 but for some reason I don't like it quite as much as 3. The reason is really complicated and subjective though.
Firstly, I still prefer Far Cry 2 to both of them. I recognize FC2's execution was way more flawed and it had huge problems, but I like that it's a less structured and more open-ended game than the later ones. You can kind of see a slide from open-ended immersive sim to somewhat linear "gamey game" from 2-to-4 (I haven't played Primal). 3 added the towers and made the main story a lot more linear but in between that just enough of the immersive sim was still there for that feeling to emerge from time to time. The best moments of FC3 for me are having random stuff happen in the jungle and making my own way to clearing outposts. FC4 took the base clearing and ran with it, but I feel like Ubisoft made that part much more gamey. It sort of turned the bases into trials. The random events happening all over the place also somehow feel less organic in FC4 and more, well, random. Add to that the increased collectibles, towers, and still linear main missions.
I don't even know if I'm going to finish FC4 because Zelda is pretty much already providing everything I wanted from that game. I even hesitated for a long time before getting FC4 (for like $10) after I had Metal Gear Solid V, which also provided just about everything I wanted out of Far Cry.
Basically the next main Far Cry needs to look at MGSV and BOTW and try to make the actual next-gen successor to those games.

FAR CRY 5 baby!!!!
Same. I love FC and I'm not sure I could justify more than maybe 5 bucks for it.

Bringing back Vaas and not dropping him half way through would be a treat.
I LOVE the Far Cry base taking gameplay, but even I'm wondering if I'll be interested if it looks the same as the last two.

Nah. Most of the Far Cry games were good or even great. And Far Cry One was amazing at the time.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
I would be okay with a remaster of Far Cry 3.
I enjoyed that one more than 4, although not by much,

I wonder if they would try to do a "game as a service" Far Cry, and try to do some sort of Watch Dogs 2 / Ghost Recon Wildlands / Division multiplayer graft on top of the far cry game model. I can't imagine it being any good at all, but would be morbidly curious to see what they come up with.

More reason to do a remaster. Look at the 360 version and compare.
Not even mentioning the fact that you can't turn the HUD off on console.
Anyways, Far Cry 3 was very recently made backward compatible so its... probably not a remaster? Not that I'd mind if it was.
Don't believe that PR, we'll know during E3 or not.
I think most people would rather have a brand new game than a remaster of an old game that can still be played on a PC and an Xbox One.
Especially since that old game has the exact same formula of a more recent game that CAN be played on the new consoles.

Given Mando's similar tweet, I'm inclined to think Ubi may be telling a little white lie. Both it and Mando making a "throwback post" so close together, neither on a day that has anything to do with Far Cry 3, would be one hell of a coincidence.

To be fair, he retweeted the link in the op first, with hours between the two tweets. It's not impossible that a fan mentioned him and he decided to do his own post.
I believe this more than that bullshit PR statement, I think they want the E3 surprise.
PC exclusive so many of Gaf won't have played it :/
Ah, right. Fair point.
😔
Another thing... but it's probably people reaching.
But people are speculating Far Cry 5 is going to be a western.
I think the strongest evidence here is the fact R* doesn't do live action trailers... but I think a lot of this is reaching and conjecture.
But if true, good luck to ubi for trying to make a Western game around the same time RDR2 is coming
