Far Cry 5 - PGW 2017 Announce Trailer | PS4
- Thread starter shimon
- Start date
What even is the tone of this game anymore. I thought this was a new IP for a second before I realized this is the same game that had the same dour and self-serious opening trailer. I am sure the gameplay will be fine but I have no idea what the identity of this game even is anymore.
i hope they changed their mind in regards to game progress for your coop partner. Because ive read some weeks/months ago that the game progress will only be saved for the Host and not the Coop Partner. That would be pretty terrible
I dont know where Far Cry fits in a post BotW, and MGSV world. MGSV perfected what Far Cry was always doing, and BotW showed a better alternative to what was going on. This just looks like Far Cry 4 and 3.
Yeah, I never launched Far Cry 4 more than once because of that. All my progress was wiped after like an 8 hour play session with a friend. On top of that, it was buggy as all hell with me getting shot by invisible enemies a lot of the time that only the host could see.
I'm all about co-op these days, So these being campaign based suit me bigtime so defo purchase from me.
Looks like they've back-pedaled entirely from their early marketing. Shame, that was the only thing I found an interest in it for.
That marketing never existed anywhere besides in people's heads. The very first videos we've seen from it had dude installing huge gatlin gun on little airplane, hot femakle bartender making molotov coctails and priest with big ass gun hidden in a bible. It's never was anything than typical Far Cry madness
Neither BotW nor MGSV matched core Far Cry 3-4 gameplay, so bassicaly Ubi is just competing with themselves here, having to deliver substantial improvement over already stellar formula that got used one times to many.
Ubisoft really can't help themselves from creating an Ubisoft game can they? Just look at this:
There isn't a better way to immediately crater everyone's excitement in less than 2 seconds.
Does this look attractive to anyone at all? Who still enjoys Ubisoft iconathons anymore?

This honestly looked fake in the trailer, like it was simulated to get a sense of the world when the icons were rising out of the ground :D. I'd be willing to bet the full game doesn't look anything like this in regards to the icons, or the very least they have the option to turn them off.
Some things it did better, some things not. The core shooting was better in Far Cry, but about everything else goes to MGSV, IMO. I was more referencing the structure of the game, which the industry is moving away from. Far Cry defined it, everyone copied it, including BotW in some cases, and now it's old. I just was hoping for a little more change, especially given the environment they chose, but here they are showing off Co-Op as their big thing, which was already in Far Cry 4. It takes years to make a game, I doubt they saw the general shift the industry would be taking, now.
I'd like to be wrong, or maybe they will find a way to make the sameoldsameold, fun again. But it looks too much the same for me.
Looking forward to this! Me and my bud put so many hours into FC4's co-op, playing the bases over and over again, aiming for that perfect stealthy score. Always was a shame that it wasn't a complete co-op campaign.
Completely skipped Primal since it was single player only.
With this trailer the bow is confirmed! YAY! only thing missing now is the wing suit! :)

I would say it does all combat and movement better actually. Once you are near late in the game and well trained in every system the shit FC3 and 4 allow you to pull off is completely insane. It's almost Dishonored-level of badassery.
The structure of gameplay does need refreshment though, but the fact that it no longer revolves around towers makes me pretty hopefull they will be able to pull it off.
I'm so in. I like the angle they're taking with this iteration of the franchise - I've been jumping back into FC4 and remembering why I enjoy the formula. Even slowly clearing the map bit by bit never felt bothersome but definitely is a completionist's nightmare. I'm expecting some brilliant open world craziness to go along with the somber tone.
Probably right where it was before those games were inspired by the likes of titles like Farcry.
And both BotW and MGSV could have probably taken alot more from Farcry when it comes to how to actually tell a story correctly
I thought 2 was trash, didn't put enough time into 3 (I should probably get back to it), never played 4, but I'm hyped as hell for FC5. Co-Op just makes it better.
I hope it's local as well, and I hope it extends to the PC version, too.

The fact that the co-op partner doesn't save any world progress means this feature might as well not exist for me.
From the game's co-op FAQ:
What a weird decision.

My biggest problem with FC4 was that the co-op was only partially integrated into the game. This looks like it solves that. Will definitely convince a friend to play it with me when it comes out.
Was sold to it by the trailer, but that FAQ turned me off... I won't do the game twice juste to be able to play with my friend...
That is a weird decision. Co-op will probably be really fun, but that's a perfect way to make it pointless. Where's the incentive for the friend joining in to do anything but short co-op sessions?
