Far Cry 5

[Beck]

Not seen a thread for this yet and they've just released the announcement trailer:

Looks like an interesting setting.

I hope this time it has a true co-op where you can play the whole game with a buddy.

It was a bit disappointing in the last one that you only could just fart around in co-op and only complete the optional missions and have the main ones locked away.

If they do that, I'll consider getting it. If not it's a 100% skip for me.

Wow they really managed to pick an awesome setting!

I hope this ain't bashed by reviewers if it treads over political grounds too much though, I'd like to see more games like this.

Blood Dragon 2, yes?

I like the new setting, hoping for some more variations and refreshments in the gameplay section too

Far Cry is one of my guilty pleasures. I hate to say this but if this game comes out and it's just "more of the same" of FC3/4 I'd still enjoy it I think.

But I'm hoping there's a bit more to it of course!

I know that feeling although I couldn't force myself to finish Primal.

Been waiting for this since the first teases: was imagining a civil war kind of scenario, separatists, domestic terrorists… but this looks just as good.

Although I haven't finished FC4 yet (I got stuck in the escape scene for too long and run out of steam, even if I managed to get through the section later) I still feel like I'd play FC3 again, especially the challenge maps were more enjoyable than the sequel.

Some insider details

And details

So @WD there's full co-op apparently

Really looking forward to this, been waiting for a game set in the american heartland. Really love that setting, hoping this will be a deliverance!

[blackdog]

Me too, I think this is the most interesting setting they have had in the whole franchise, at least on par on FC2. Main character and supporting cast should also be a bit more believable this time.

(Although I didn't mind FC3, was fun enough to forget who the character background was; in FC4 I felt a clear dissonance between hero and antagonist... I mean you're slaughtering his men and he tries to raise you on the radio to go to him??)

I also think this looks and sounds interesting in terms of the setting. I do like the Far Cry games (couldn't finish Primal either though Sprony) - I hope there's a bit of a Leftovers/cult vibe mixed in with all the American redneck-ery
