drahkon Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Really hope it's not just Far Cry 4 in a different setting. But it most likely will be.
Shorty Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 I've been thinking lately that no game has really captured scale in an open-world game very well. Usually because movement is too fast/easy or there's too much fast travelling. Even when faced with a realistically recreated mountain, they're shrunk down to be much smaller than reality but we accept it, and we sprint up it with unlimited/intermittently unlimited stamina. Just look at a real picture of a person in front of a forest, or mountain, and think about how long it would really take to get up there (or even, the guy in the field in Video #2 above). Even with the amount of disconnect you need to make a game playable/fun, the margin could be closed a little and the game could still be great. If there's one game universe that could fix this it's probably Far Cry, that gives you lots of tools and vehicles to get around quickly when you need to. I've no reason to think that this is an aim of theirs, just something I've been thinking recently. Could be something special if they managed it.
Ganepark32 Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Have to say, I'm disappointed that this didn't turn out to be the rumoured Wild West setting that was going about. I really enjoyed Far Cry Primal and just can't get into Far Cry 4 (I started the latter after the former) and would have loved to have seen them take another different step away from a modern setting. What they've shown just doesn't appeal. That might change as they show more but I'm still getting a slight FC4 vibe from the game with some cherry picked best bits from Primal. I'm willing to be proven wrong but I'm still holding out hope that one day they go along that Wild West route as it could prove interesting.
