Doesn't scream Western to me, seems more like a cult-ish.

TBH though you can't see much either, will await the gameplay eagerly.

Modern day western it is. Could be alright, but they need to do something different with their gameplay mechanics.

Just saw the Far Cry 5 teaser trailer.

Holy crap looked very photo realism, cant WAIT to play Far Cry 5.

Loved played all Far Cry games.

I don't expect Ubisoft to incorporate many of these features, but this is my Far Cry 5 wishlist:

Full character customisation.
Believable open world with NPCs that have daily schedules, meaningful dialogue etc.
Freak weather like flash floods, forest fires and tornadoes. (All of which happen in Montana.)
A story that is conveyed without the use of cutscenes.
No convoluted intro or tedious tutorial missions! (Take the reigns off and let us figure the game out for ourselves!)
Minimal HUD! (No arrows, flashing icons, markers etc.)

Guess you missed the confirmation that it's not set in the old west?

Yeah, just saw the video, so I've omitted that.

They promised to patch in the ferocious animals in to Far Cry 2. Still waiting!

Would be all good with this other than I've no problem with cutscenes myself but they have to paced correctly and work with the environment and open world.

That is what they have always struggled with.

I thought far cry 2 was pretty epic with the random fires and the AK's that jammed was some nice little touches !
Far cry 1 still the best though never forget loading that up for the first time was a real wow this is next level ... all went down hill when it went sci-fi for me though !
Will just keep my eye on this see if it does anything different or if it's just the same game with a different environment...
Zelda botw has changed my expectation on open world games dramatically

I'm pretty sure you have been able to turn of a lot of this in the settings for the last few games, I even think you could do it in FC 3, although that may have been through a mod....

If what I've read about the plot and the setting is true, then I think they went a bit over the top.

It's not the one where a narcissistic, megalomaniac, billionaire buffoon becomes President of the USA is it?

Nope, it's a little less over the top

I love western games, and this made me over the moon!

beans, spill, please?

A town overrun by cultists and dooms day preppers is what I'm hearing. Apparently you play a cop. It all sounds very "Wicker Man" to me.

How the hell does that sound like the 'Wicker Man'? The only thing even close to The Wicker Man is a cop, but then does that mean SWAT is also like The Wicker Man too?

It was a casual remark, relax. I doubt theres a 30ft wicker effigy in it or any references to bees, just a cult and a police officer.
