Spoiler

The kid in the pic has the same divided eyelash as the Far cry 3 villian. So prequel maybe? Also, the actor that played the bad guy in Far Cry 3 is same actor that plays Nacho on Better Call Saul.

Dude, I fucking called this.

I remember once thinking a tropical banana republic type setting would be a perfect fit for Far Cry and that is exactly what this is, fucking awesome!

According to the leaks, the map is supposed to be huge. I don't know if it's a good thing because Ubisoft has yet to make a huge open world that doesn't feel empty or a chore to explore (GR Wildlands, AC Odyssey).
There's 2-player co-op, but I wish they would make another 4-player comfy side story like in FC3.

wasnt that the first game?

Seems like they got Giancarlo Esposito to be the main villain, he's an excellent actor, especially when he does the "shady scheeming businessman", let's see how the acting ends up because knowing Ubisoft, the gameplay is probably going to be shitty and buggy as fuck.

Maybe I'm a little late in this observation, but I'm starting to realize more and more that "huge map" as a selling point doesn't hold much weight for me personally anymore. Who cares how big it is if it's just holding down the sprint key for longer periods of time and running over more hills. I guess it just depends on settings/shit to do more than how much land there is, because there are games with big worlds that are somewhat barren that are still interesting enough to keep your attention (Skyrim springs to mind). I imagine this Far Cry setting is going to be along the lines of Just Cause, but way more boring with less to do.

Also since he's a Hollywood actor he'll probably be in a few key scenes and you will fight another guy for 90% of the game.

God can you imagine a Far Cry x Just Cause hybrid? That would probably be bretty good
Shame that it will just be another generic open world shooter.


Oh well, guess I'll pirate it when it comes out. I'm not giving money to Ubisoft. Fuck em.

Really Ubisoft?

You pick now of all times for a pedophile-themed Far Cry?

Way to read the room.

 

[promenade]

The trailer's been leaked.

 

[An Ghost]

urban setting would be different and hopefully. cant wait to buy it for $2 several years after it comes out.

Not really, while I'm not sure what ocean the game was set in it was just a series of islands inhabited by mercenaries, not a Cuba esque country.

And I know for a fact Far Cry 3 was set in the Pacific and that was the last time until now that the series used a tropical islands setting, setting a Far Cry in the Caribbean seemed like an obvious thing to do so it wasn't too hard to guess.

 

[Shitpiss Babylord]

Is anyone else bugged that they're not only using actors voices these days, but their likenesses too?
One of the strengths of the medium is that you can make characters look however you want them to. Seeing people I recognise pointlessly breaks my immersion, unless the actor is literally playing themselves like in the Saints Row games.
It always gives the impression whoever is in charge of those decisions really wishes they worked in TV/Hollywood.

Looks cool! Theories floating around that the kid might be baby-Vaas. Hype if true.

It would make sense that this is set sometime in the past given the events of 5.

The first one was in the Pacific too.

As wonderful as that might be, I think the new Far Cry is set in the present, given the kid's earphones and iPhone. That being said, the kid looks pretty young- I wonder if there'll be a timeskip to age him up to adult age?

I think Ubisoft's going for another charismatic evil dictator like in Far Cry 4 with Pagan Min and the Seeds, and I think this is one of Far Cry's main draws- interesting villains (and given the long-term fanbase around Far Cry 5, villains targeting a female audience).

Yeah but the world ended at the end of Far Cry 5. Are some of the games set in specific years? I always thought it was ambiguous.
