I really hope this series evolves. The formula they've had since 3 is becoming beyond stale at this point.

I would settle for a return to FarCry 2 now, looking back that game had a lot of interesting mechanics.

Eager to learn more about it in the future, though it's all but guaranteed I'll enjoy it. I think the core gameplay loop has consistently still been fun.

I really hope this means 4K only on both One X and Series X and that it will only be 4K on PS5 because wow...

Reads to me like that language and portion of the fine print is referring to the Xbox family of consoles, as in you won't get 4K on an Xbox One S (or the unannounced Series S, probably) and won't get HDR on the OG One hardware. But I guess we'll have to wait for official confirmation.

Yeah. This refers to the 4K Ultra HD, HDR & Smart Delivery logos at the top. Sony does not even refer to 4K as "Ultra HD" in their marketing.

some good editing and music in the Cinematic title sequence. Never played FC this should be decent for some 1st person Open World fun.

With the story looking to be a bit more gritty than the last couple of entries in the series, this seems like the perfect opportunity for the gameplay designers to take some hints from Far Cry 2.

While fictional Caribbean countries are trite at this point, it's not like they were going to straight up make a "Go Assassinate The President of Venezuela: The Game"

It's nothing. It's just Xbox marketing requirements.

That makes a lot of sense now, thank you all.

I forgot that the villains are the ones who usually show up in the covers since FC3.
Kid will probably be this game's morality choice based on what you do.

The Ubi Far Cry games always have amazing trailers.

Hopefully they've mixed up the gameplay somewhat, 3 was cool but just repeating that has gotten real old.

I bet no one from a country from Latin America nor relation to them, as in previous entries.

The granade scene and getting Pedro Bromfman for the soundtrack made me dream José Padilha might be working in this game, but I'm sure his name would have been in the trailer if that was the case.

Too bad, I think he could have done a great job with this setting.

By the way, have they said if this country is an island or continental? Wider range of climates and greater biodiversity of a "fake Venezuela" is much more interesting than a "fake Cuba".

Just when I thought I had lost all hope in Ubisoft, This game looks fantastic! The voice acting,animations,graphics all look superb. Too bad the same can't be said about Valhalla and Legion.. Which team makes Far Cry?

The was a cinematic so don´t expect the game to look like that at all.

Yikes at "el presidente" and "viva libertad".

You're right, it'd have been interesting. So far it looks the perspective from an actual person related to this setting is a conclusion far gone for Ubisoft...

Wow at that trailer... I am so in... and Giancarlo!

FC5 was the only one I didn't enjoy. Ubi will make this right hopefully.

How do people complain about a cinematic trailer.... you know there will be a gameplay one at some stage....

I was expecting some gameplay, but well...

I'm glad this series manage to keep its roots until now... except for that trash FC Primal (one of the worst Ubisoft games, imo).

Ubisoft can release a trailer about a child's leader executing a number of innocents and still do everything in their power not to say anything about it.

This looks so cool.

I wonder if you play as the kid grown up? I would hope it's still in the middle of this seeming revolution.

Also, having full-on Cities sounds awesome. A nice mix of open area, forests/jungle, mountains, and cities would be awesome.

Hm, some of the pre order stuff looks like they're going for the same "crazy neon spray" aesthetics as in New Dawn. Yeah I'm out, this is so not my jam.

In for Esposito.

Is there a PS5 version or just PS4 with PS5 patch?

This is a prime example of "Prestige TV" aesthetics making their way into video games. Not just Mr. Esposito, but that Title Sequence is straight from a HBO show.

You play as someone named Dani. You can choose their gender. They're part of the resistance fighting against giancarlo's character

Fancily produced CG short.

The gameplay seems silly. In screenshots and marketing there's a wiener dog on wheels called Chorizo, goofy Dead Rising weapons like something called Discos Locos. Apparently there's a jet pack?

Can't wait for the over the top gameplay and obnoxious world characters to completely undermine the tone of the story.

Hopefully they're changing things up for this one. :/

They desperately need to hire competent writers. FC5 had to be a low point for the writing, especially with the terrible monologues, ridiculous plot with magical mind control, and the awful ending. Game writing doesn't have to always be bad.

There's been a disconnect between Far Cry stories and gameplay since at least 4. 5 was about a killer cult taking over the state, but end game was lmgs and bears, and other crazy stuff. 4 was about a a killer dictator, but also had missions with you entering Shamballa, a mini helicopter, and animal bait.

There's the main missions which are serious, the side missions which are usually goofy with very over the top characters, and the gameplay which is all over the place. You have the option to take the game as serious as you wish.
