Far Cry New Dawn announced; coming February 15th, 2019
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Looks pretty average to me.
Could have been a dlc to the hugely disappointing and hugely expensive FC5 Gold Edition.

yeah, i know it's my own fault but felt so burned by it i don't think i could bring myself to pay for this. not until they're practically giving it away at least
Skipped Primal and not really feeling this one.
The main characters look good but post apocalypse worlds are so bland, maybe its story will sway me but so far I can't see myself getting his one.

I'm kind of shocked that they didn't announce this at full price. Far Cry 5 is a tight foundation for a game even if the story and scenarios were weak. Throw those weaknesses out, price it at $40 and you've actually got yourself some solid value.
I'm weirdly looking forward to it and I don't really get why so many people are down on it.

I did not like Far Cry 5 very much so I definitely won't be getting this. It seems me and Ubisoft are done. They've ruined Ass Creed, I'm done with Far Cry, No Prince or Persia... I loved Watch Dogs 2 so i might get 3. If it turns out to be some GaaS type game then im out of that too.
Since I skipped FC4, 5 and Primal, this one seems interesting! I'm a sucker for these setting tho.
Contrary to what movies might have told you, a nuke doesn't magically turn everything into a desert.
According to MHWilliam's article, you are a faceless, nameless person who was ambushed by the antagonists during your travels. Seems like you can create your own character again though.
They mentioned that after the Apocalypse, the rains came and created a superbloom situation in the region.
Will skip this game, but credit to Ubi for really challenging common tropes in the post-apocalyptic world. As opposed to everything being grey, dingy, dirty, they went in an opposite direction with some real creativity and now it's the polar opposite of every post-apoc world we've seen before: Lush, colorful, green.
Kudos to them.

I dont mean this in a bad way because it actually looks fun as does Rage 2 but this setting/colors/style is identical to Rage 2. Will likely pick up both.
I haven't really followed Rage 2 since the announcement, but it seemed to be a much ... sandier environment than the one we've seen in this trailer. Rage 2 seems to give much more of a Mad Max vibe, playing on the sandy/rocky environments more so than this, at least from what I've seen.
If I could guess, the protagonist will be a generic fish out of water who has to align himself/herself with clans and tribes around the area to take down maniacle, power-hungry cultists.
This... isn't DLC, huh. Starting to get FC Primal vibes. Not my cup of tea.
Happy to see my people on a cover of a AAA game though! Props to Ubisoft for that.

People: "It's looks like DLC and builds uppon FC 5."
Yeah, maybe it is just standalone DLC. And that's why they are asking only 44.99€ for this standalone expansion pack. That's just 5€ more then they ask for the AC:Odyssey Season pass.
They aren't even calling it Far Cry 6. It's just Far Cry: New Dawn
It is a standalone expansion pack and priced accordingly.

That makes alot of sense actually. I mean I was just wondering how the hell they got this out so fast lol.People: "It's looks like DLC and builds uppon FC 5."

I might actually pick this up then if its not going to be priced at $60.
Oh really, are you a nuclear expert? Its not clear from your post history.
This looks like a red Siberian Husky, but whatever. Close enough. Sold.
Edit: I see that it's an Akita. Nice.

I'm liking the art. Im keeping an eye out for this game.
Lmao....

I've skipped all 3 of those too. I kind of want to play Primal JUST for the setting, but that darn game won't drop below $10 so I can get it.
I kind of assumed they were villains. This series tends not to give leads face time like that.
I'll get it day 1 if they've improved the co-op over 4 and 5, so it's fully playable, no strings or lack of progress attached. If not a deep sale for me most likely.
It looked OK, but then rage 2 came out and just kind of went "we look better" as a whole trailer.
I just want Farcry to embrace Dinosaurs. I jut want them to make Farcry:Jurassic or something like that. Like thats what the series needs. It's.....what I need, if Turok is never going to happen again, Farcry with Dino's is what we should be striving for.
This all looks and feels like other shit thats coming out.

I mean, I can see where they're coming from. It just looks like a backpedal when the site has none of those colours in it's palette.
That's because it's exactly what it is lol. One could argue that it's an expansion on the level that we've seen this gen from games like Dishonored 2 Death of the Outsider and uncharted lost legacy but those games had entirely all new content. This is likely going have a shit ton of asset reuse and likely even reuse the entire map from FC5.
Rage 2 does look a lot more appealing. It's just a shame they hamstrung themselves with that bethesda client. Hopefully the X/Pro versions are good.
Oh so this is a brand new, stand-alone Fry Cry game?
I really liked 5 and this one looks fun, so yeah Day 1.

Far Cry Primal is survival mode is a pretty fantastic experience. Like all Far Cry games it goes on too long, but it's worth it for the setting, dangerous night times, some really spectacular environments and being able to ride a fucking sabretooth tiger.
People saying it reused the map from 4 are stretching the truth. It reused topographical data, nothing else is the same.
The football/paintball protection so many of the characters are wearing in this looks so dumb.
That stuff might protect you from skinning your knee if you fall off your ATV, but it isn't going to do shit against guns.

Since I'm skipping Rage 2, which I was looking forward to prior to it being locked to Bethesda's nightmare of a launcher, I might actually pick this up at 50% off a month after release. I enjoyed Far Cry 5 well enough on PC and this looks like a wacky expansion for that game.
Putting it in a hallucination is exactly the problem and what I mean about them poorly telling the story. No one (expect you apparently) would take that seriously because its happening during a damn hallucination. They have so many cut scenes but they won't do one cutscene where they explain a main plot point where your not in a hallucination? Doesn't make a lot of sense.
That's the narrative point ... Your not supposed to realize that he's telling the truth until it's over -- they knew players would discard information that didn't confirm to their worldview. That's the whole conceit.
Whether or not you like that form of storytelling comes down to taste -- but, they did it well, even if you hate it.
Personally, I wasn't super happy with the ending ... It felt like the wrong place to stop, so I was really irritated. However, I'm pretty excited that the story will continue, and it makes me look back more favorably on 5.
Ubisoft Montreal is a huge team. They work on at least 3-4 games simultaneously.
