Far Cry Primal

Twirlywoos · 5 Oct 2015 at 21:34

It's not official, but Ubisoft's big announcement, as unintentionally revealed by the IGN Turkey Twitter account, is a new Far Cry game called Far Cry Primal. The post itself is gone, but the tweet remains, along with an image that bears, to my mind at least, a more-than-passing resemblance to the bizarre Zeno Clash.
We're still waiting for the word from Ubisoft, but there you have it: A new and potentially very interesting take on Far Cry is on the way.

Well that's surprising for Ubisoft, props to them for doing something different. I'm interested for sure.

Sorry what????????????

Seriously, at this moment, that's all we've got: A cave painting of a man—or man-like creature—holding a bow and large torch, or perhaps a spear, while in the background, another bowman and a spearman appear to be leaning toward off-screen prey. There's also a silhouette of a hand, sparks flying from a fire, and ominous, primitive music.

Well it wont have guns, so that is already a major departure for the Far Cry series.

I'm interested. FC2 and FC4 have some great worlds. Mixing up the gameplay a bit and having it set in prehistoric times could be pretty cool.

Yeh, it's great that Ubinaff are finally moving away from Ass creed and Far Cry! Oh wait......

Jim99 · 6 Oct 2015 at 15:50

Looks interesting, don't think another along similar lines to FC3 and FC4 would have been all too exciting. It's just ground too well-trodden by now.

Dont like the color grading, but looks cool otherwise!

Out Feb for consoles, Mar for PC.

Evian · 6 Oct 2015 at 17:28

Well I'm interested as it's different, Hope it's good.

Elfmeister. · 6 Oct 2015 at 17:35

So will this be a full release or more along the lengths of "Blood Dragon"?

You do realise this is just a re-skinned Far Cry, right?

Looking forward to more mediocre footage of generic tribesman climbing a generic tower to unlock more of the map, then loads of pointless side quests. This along with the 'new' EA Battlefront game is dead even before it's released.

You do realize that you haven't actually seen enough to jump to this conclusion, right?

Either way, simply not having guns and a very unique settings sets it apart.

As for it being dead before even being released, realize that not everybody thinks like you do. Thank god.

What is it like to always be so cynical? Must be miserable.

Except that Far Cry 4 was only released a year ago. Plenty of time to make a brand new game :rolleyes:

honestly. *sarcasm*

Also the good old Ubisoft Pre-Order LOL. Pre order after seeing no gameplay whatsoever.

Vulcan · 6 Oct 2015 at 18:17

Far Cry 2: Oct 2008
Far Cry 3: Nov 2012 (4 years)
Far Cry 4: Nov 2014 (2 years)
Far Cry Primal: Feb 2016 (15 months)

15 months isn't a long time.

It's Ubi. It'll be another rehash of FC3, that development time all but confirms its just another tooth on the franchise cog.

At least it'll be relatively bug free by now... Right?

Ubisoft have lots of different studios. They dont all collectively work on one title at a time, nor is the Far Cry franchise handled by one single studio.

Either way, this game has already shown enough to differentiate it from the others. Dont know how that's even arguable.

And yes, pre-orders, such a Ubisoft concept. Never heard of any other game doing anything like that.

Ubi****.

5punk3monk3y · 6 Oct 2015 at 18:28

Ok.. I watched the trailer and still have no idea why Far Cry has been tagged on to the name of the game... I must be missing something.

Oh hang on it's Ubisoft that's why..

Yeah, far cry with no guns, thats all we know.

Do you honestly enjoy this kind of rinse and repeat gaming?

as for saying 'it looks good', well whats the point at this stage, Ubisoft have a habit of ruining games.

I wish I could find a forum that wasn't overrun with boring generic cynicism and actually had people with something interesting to say.
