Far Cry Primal

    After a tease yesterday, Ubisoft announced today the new entry in the franchise. We will go all melee back to the Stone Age in Primal.

    A clever idea to really use and build on top of the soft crafting system that we have been accustomed to in the last years.

    I bet someone here has been working on it

    Im interested if there is multiplayer, and not follow the standard Ubisoft formula of climbing a tall tree to unlock map, collecting mammoth bone 1/200 :v

    Well I'm curious.
    Currently this first video shows me a lot of brown things / colors with a unknow setting for a game.
    So yeah I need to see what they will make and how they will use this period for a game...I need to see more / gameplay footage and not only a prehistoric hunt.

    Oh, and I hope they won't respect the historic setting because I want to see a kind of a lost world place where some dinosaurs are still living :D

    It is, but is not… at least they do more original things with it, not just copies every year

    Well, 4 was basically a copy of 3?


    4 Already felt quite rushed to be honest (fetch quests, incoherent storyline etc), I'm just worried it will happen again.

    As much as I loved both FC3 and 4 (and 1 and 2 tbh), I think it's safe to say 4 was just 3 in Tibetan clothing. Yes it brought some new things to the table, but then so does COD with each iteration.

    I'm not sure I like the look of this, it's like they've taken the Shangri La part of FC4 and expanded it into a game. But the video looks uber scripted so I shall reserve judgement until gameplay.

    As much as I would love to hate on FC4 being the reskinned FC3, the soundtrack was frigging awesome. One of the best in my opinion.

    This better have a melee system as good as in Dying Light. I don't know if this will keep me playing the usual Far Cry lenght of 40+ hours if it didn't.

    Well, I don't know what to tell you about that "the same over and over" thing. I'll maybe pass my comment on this topic but when BO3 will be out, please, play it and let me know if it's again the same game.

    It was more referencing Buddy's comment of "Far Cry is Ubisoft's COD now, shame."

    I bought every cod up to mw2 and no longer felt I could justify spending that sort of money annually to keep up with the latest considering the changes. I tried again with advanced warfare and was disappointed with how little it had changed still considering the period of time passed.

    I would be lying if I said I was following or knew anything about BO3, or even looking forward to it. However, I'm always willing to be swayed so I'll watch out for it on your request :)

    I just don't like seeing good titles smeared because a publisher wants to capitalise on their earning potential.

    I was hoping for dinosaurs, but I guess this is ok too :P I was a big fan of the first Far Cry. I remember these times when you always asked your buddies "but does your PC even run Far Cry?" If your PC could run Far Cry, you were the man basically. I've tried out all of games in the franchise, but I havn't really been stuck in them for too long. The mushroom trip in Far Cry 3 is so damn cool though ^^

    I bet on moroes thought : there will be dinosaurs and hidden "world" :D

    I had FC3 and didn't like the early game, played like 1h before it bored me, i dunno maybe wait how this game is when they release gameplay vids

    well there's no point in titling a game the same if you make a totally different game… what do you expect, a Far Cry that becomes Sniper Elite one chapter, an over the top shooter the other, come on.

    Really being too critic!

    What has COD done in 10 years, it gave us 2 sagas (one still ongoing, thanks to narrative bullshits tricks of dead characters not really dead!). Ghost and Advanced Warfare they feel like a spin off born from the acknowledgment of franchise tiredness, ripping off the games that COD players didn't play because they were busy with the previous COD.

    Far Cry had the courage of (mostly) reinventing itself every time. Every chapter is unique. A different setting is a fucking big deal, without even pulling out the insinuations of COD actually recycling assets from one game to the other.

    How can you compare the two brands when you go from a colourful island to bleak Africa with an accent on "survivalism", to an island again and then Tibet.

    Yes the FC3 and FC4 have the same gameplay, but as said, different location is a big deal. Also in between you got for very cheap a beefy reskin that has been just praised by everyone.

    Haven't seen all these negative comments for Just Cause 3, which really is the same of JC2, just with better graphics.

    Sure is likely Primal will share mechanics that you can link back to FC3, but than what would be the point in calling it the same. But this is an FPS that has the courage to abandon fire weapons altogether, I think it's unfair to label it already as a clone! I'm really happy and appreciate Ubisoft for allowing a brand to sway so much, making every chapter unique (stand alone) when they could very possibly force the hand in continuing on a single narrative thread for a decade.

    ofc I don't expect each game to be completely different, I didn't say it was a bad thing for FC either, and I definitely didn't intend to imply that it was a quick job to make FC4. I loved both 3 and 4 without reservation.

    What I'm saying is that I didn't notice that 4 did anything new compared to 3 (edit: maybe coop is only thing?). To me a game is more than it's setting, and I do appreciate the importance of it, but if the game play becomes stale then what?

    Some games just don't need to be released year after year after year. I'm not a game developer, I don't know the ins and outs of development and I sure as hell don't know what management think when they try and pedal these games, but as predominantly a gamer it pisses me right off when a good game is bled dry. Luckily primal looks like a... far cry... from the current mix, and as I said, I will reserve judgement until I see actual gameplay and not a scripted sequence.

    As I said to seir before, my mention of CoD was more in reply to Buddy's statement.

    Meh, I wish they went with the vampire/werewolf theme. Doesn't look like there will be a wingsuit/parachute/almost everything that made Far Cry 3 fun. The technological prowess of this period include spear-thrower and the invention of the wheel, what a blast this will be.
