They didn't hide it. You are told over and over again what is coming. The only reason it's a shock is because some players refuse to listen. You are shown the nuke, and even the aftermath of the nuke.
It's Hope County, but 17 years later. They're reusing the map. It's overgrown and purple and there'll be significant differences due to erosion and having nukes dropped on it, but it'll the same geographic location as the last game. (Although you do leave Hope County on Expedition missions.They don't reuse the map from the previous game (which they likely will in big party, as the release is only a year apart)
MHWilliams Any idea which studios are making this game? I remember that in late 2017, Ubisoft founded Ubisoft Berlin and the first project they were gonna be collaborating on was a Far Cry game.
Well this was informative. Would you mind if I linked to these when I do my TGA write-up for Comicon tomorrow?
Thanks a lot. Makes me wonder what Berlin are working on, then. One thing that stood out is they were hiring a lot of MP-oriented technical people to overhaul the netcode and such in the engine. Maybe Ubisoft are planning a multiplayer Far Cry title down the road? Or maybe Far Cry 6 will have bigger multiplayer.All the leads are Montreal. Shanghai, Kiev, and Bucharest are the additional studios.
That cover art is fucking terrible. It makes me worried that the game will be stupid.
Then again, I've loved everything Far Cry to this point, so...
The mainline games generally aren't that stupid. They'll have a couple of dumb missions (5 had more than usual), but they're not dumb games. They also have proper, non-stupid cover art.
Far Cry 2 and 3 weren't very dumb from what I recall
I forgot about the tattoos. It wasn't too over the top dumb, though. Not like some games.
Contrary to what Fallout taught people, after you blow the shit out of a landscape (including nukes), vegetation returns very quickly. I doesn't sit around for hundreds of years all dusty and drab with parked cars filling the streets because people are too lazy to move them. Far Cry New Dawn is also based on a phenomenon called super bloom. https://earthsky.org/earth/california-desert-superbloom-2017Probably been said many times before, but not reading 15 pages of far cry, this does not look post apocalyptic at all, haha.
Sure seem like a lot of flowers for a nuclear wasteland.
I have no desire to play it at all. Fc5 was uninspired and bland. They didn't do nearly enough to evolve the franchise and after 3, 4, Primal, Blood Dragon, 5, and all the dlcs, I'm Far Cry'd out. This series need a break. The fact that they're not even going for the full $60 price point tells you what this is going to be.
It's funny how you suddenly forgot how "stupid" these games are, so you could concern troll over the cover art. Honestly, I don't really understand how the cover would have translated to it being any more "stupid" when compared to the other games in the series.
Your real concern seems to be about the two black women there and you were obviously trying to dance around it with the nonsense you posted above.

Yes, it's pretty obvious. And of course you don't like that it's a white guy tied to the car there by the two black women. That cover isn't any more cheesy than the 3 I posted above. Sorry, but I'm not giving you the benefit of the doubt given that you've been outed as a racist multiple times on this forum.It truly, honestly isn't. Nice try though! I just don't like how cheesy it is. Especially the guy tied to the car husk.
Not liking the cover art doesn't mean it's for racist reasons, no matter what you make it out to be. The trailer looks good, the characters seem interesting, but that art is amateur.

Whether they've done "enough" to evolve the franchise, I disagree with the subtext/implication of what you're saying. Far Cry 3 was an open world game changer. A huge shift after Far Cry, Far Cry: Instincts, FC: Instincts Evolution, and Far Cry 2. (Although huge chunks of the story and mechanics were lifted from Instincts. They're even recycling Instincts as recently as FC5.) Far Cry 4 was a polished evolution. It was a safe sequel that improved various mechanical elements while traveling to a new location. More of a good thing, basically. Far Cry: Blood Dragon was a fun little joke game that was mainly about the cool cyberpunk atmosphere and the jokes. Far Cry: Primal was a pretty significant shift. It's a Far Cry game without guns. Where heat and cold are core mechanical elements. Where taming animals and having them as companions were key mechanics. Story progression was changed. It's a different creature to FC3/4. I'm not a huge fan, but it's... different. And then along came Far Cry 5, which built upon ideas in Far Cry: Primal, including its Survivor Mode, such as the removal of the minimap. It also took ideas from GR: Wildlands such as non-linear story progression. It ditched towers. It ditched collectathon stuff. It added planes. It added really interesting named companion characters and randomized ones who were shockingly well executed. You recruited a random NPC, and they walked with you, rode with you, and they felt like real people almost on par with the "real" companions. A remarkable accomplishment, IMO. It added Homefront: The Revolution-style Stashes which were environmental puzzles that filled the hole the towers left behind. I personally think Far Cry 5 could have gone further. I think it could have executed certain ideas better. But the difference between Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 5 is huge. You may have had enough, and that's totally fair, but they have really tried to innovate and experiment with each new game, rolling these new ideas in a refined form into the next game.I have no desire to play it at all. Fc5 was uninspired and bland. They didn't do nearly enough to evolve the franchise and after 3, 4, Primal, Blood Dragon, 5, and all the dlcs, I'm Far Cry'd out. This series need a break.
The modern equivalent of a standalone expansion pack. They used to be pretty common before bite-sized DLC took over. I'm expecting something on par with Dying Light: The Following. These kind of games are a great way to use existing assets and production pipeline stuff to allow a team to make an experimental game with a 12-18 month turnaround. They can try new narrative ideas. They can try new game mechanics. They can try new structural stuff. Instead of taking 3+ years and having to make the game as mainstream as possible, these kind of side projects can be more experimental. Expectations are different. The stuff that works in Far Cry: New Dawn will make its way into Far Cry 6, just as experiments in FC: Primal that worked out made their way into Far Cry 5.The fact that they're not even going for the full $60 price point tells you what this is going to be.
I've been reading the USGamer article and it sounds like they're changing how damage works with weapons having levels and such. Having special enemies that didn't die from headshots was already a controversial design element in Far Cry 5, and I'm a bit dubious about Far Cry New Dawn going down the Borderlands route where you end up with, potentially, bullet sponge enemies because your gun that fires lethal lead projectiles isn't "good" enough. This move towards leveled weapons has attracted some criticism in Assassin's Creed.
This is a lot more interesting than that Wolfenstein game they're coming out with, which is kind of the same thing.
"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. "Meh. Believe what you want. It's not the case, but you have your agenda.
It couldn't possibly be that it looks like cover art for a B-movie, could it? Nope. Gotta be racism. It's not like Far Cry isn't one of my favourite series, and that the cover art often has minorities on it and the games also often feature characters who are black, asian, etc.
Regardless I can't wait to play it.
What? Bethesda hasn't revealed anything about The New Blood aside from the protagonists, the setting and the co-op support. There's been zero information or footage of actual gameplay.

You jumped through quite a few hoops to paint the cover as something remarkably different from past games when it isn't. One of your gripes is that you don't like that there's a guy tied to the car and that it is amateurish. How is that any different from having two people hanging upside down from a tree, or buried alive, or have their hands tied behind them with sinner scrawled across their backs? Somehow those aren't cheesy or amateurish, but this one is? You're not fooling anybody.
It's clear that you're a big fan of the narrative, but I've found that with 5 - and as well as with most of the Far Cry games I've played - the story is always being told at you instead of being something that kind of naturally unravels. Whether it's being pulled out of the game for several minutes on end to be talked to, or listening to intentionally portentous dialogue again and again, I've always that the storytelling aspects were never as engrossing as maybe they were intended to be by some of the writers.
To me, the more recent Far Cry games seem more invested in their stories being clever than in being good. And I guess that's the crux of why they don't do much for me in general. Still, I'm eager to learn more about this new game, but I'm not going to get my hopes up when it comes to the story. Story-wise, the Far Cry series is interested in telling stories in a way I never find to really resonate that much with me, but as long as the gunplay is tight then I'm sure I'll have a decent time.
More in general. TNO wasn't that good and was a bit of a mess, Wolfenstein II was pretty bad. It just came to mind because we're talking about modern expansion like games. It reminded me of how bad Wolfenstein II was and how little faith I have in this new one.
Having to kill a lot of virtual animals for no good reason has also sat wrong for me. The "all these animals have gone crazy" thing they used is nothing more than an excuse for bad AI. It seems at least in this new one you will have some more animal buddies and that's a welcome change.
To each their own, I suppose. I enjoyed both TNO and TNC. I also played both on PC with MKB so I didn't have any issues dealing with the flanking enemies or open-ended level design. I thought the gunplay was great, butchering Nazis with a hatchet never got old and the writing was surprisingly good too. I'm really interested in seeing what they do with TNB, especially given the giant lapse in time since TNC. I'm even more interested in seeing what they do with Wolfenstein 3.
I'm looking at it, and no, I don't find it to be any more cheesy or b-movie-like than 3, 4, or 5. And I think you're a racist, because you make racist statements.It looks like something out of a cheesy b-movie, more-so than anything from any other Far Cry game. Far Cry 2 had the best art, Far Cry 3's was a lot better than this (and Vaas was great), and Far Cry 5's was decent with its take on The Last Supper. Look at this art and tell me it isn't cheesy and silly looking, and that it doesn't look like a cheesy action movie's cover. That's the issue I have with it. I don't care if the characters on the cover are green, blue, purple, black, white or yellow.
It's like RAGE 2 in some ways. A punk rock type of look. When I saw that in RAGE 2's marketing it worried me, too. Am I racist for thinking that as well? You can look up those posts too.

HOW.It's better than Andrew WK
^This was a response to the post about the ill fitting music.
Really digging that cover, but Far Cry needs a break. I enjoyed FC5, but the formula is just old.
They need to give it a rest and come back with an Origins-esque reinvention
I'm just going off what you post. If you don't want to be seen as a racist, then don't be one. It seems you can't help yourself though.Believe what you want, but kindly stop inferring things about my posts about this cover art that aren't true, just to suit your agenda.
