Far Cry 4 Aims to Surprise You, Exceed Expectations
Ubisoft will show some Far Cry 4 footage during E3 2014 next month.
Far Cry fans now have something to look forward to this holiday season. Ubisoft confirmed on Thursday that Far Cry 4 is currently in development by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with Red Storm Entertainment. Ubisoft Kiev, Ubisoft Shanghai and Ubisoft Toronto were also listed in the company's announcement.
"In Far Cry 4, players find themselves in Kyrat, a breathtaking, perilous and wild region of the Himalayas struggling under the regime of a despotic self-appointed king," reads the game's description. "Using a vast array of weapons, vehicles and animals, players will write their own story across an exotic open-world landscape."
The game is slated to hit the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows PC on November 18 in the United States, and November 20 in the EMEA territories. Customers who pre-purchase the game now will receive a free upgrade to the Limited Edition. This upgrade will include Hurk's Redemption, which contains three single-player missions featuring Hurk, and Hurk's harpoon gun called The Impaler.
"Following the success of Far Cry 3, we wanted to take the franchise to the next level and create a game that will surprise players and exceed fans' expectations," said Dan Hay, executive producer. "Given the unique setting, we feel Far Cry 4 will stand out as a top first-person shooter and we're eager to reveal more about the game in the coming months."
Additional information regarding Far Cry 4 will be revealed during Ubisioft's Media Briefing during E3 2014 next month. Fans can tune in on June 9, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. PDT to see the game in action.
The storyline was magical.
I tried a few mods, played thru story 3 times. I couldn't get enough.
I hope they add more mod tools. Like mapmaking, being able to create your own settings, stories, placing down AI etc.
Just look at Arma-series and its mods. Thats the way to go.
looks like they cant go all out on graphics if they are to release port for these 2 platform. Jeez stop dev on these 2 consoles already. Focus on x86 platform.
I had the same impressions with FarCry 2 and I skipped it too. but honestly FarCry 3 is a complete different animal with far dynamic characters and one of the best gameplay. you missed a lots of fun. and FarCry 3 DLC Blood Dragon was the best DLC I've ever played. amazing gameplay with great humor. just dont skip FC3.
Let's not forget the multiplayer. Constantly crashed, hardly ever saved loadouts or even experience. Most of the time when a level is completely it just locked up and kicks everyone out losing experience and items. Hackers were rampant and none of the mods seemed to care. In fact if you started linking evidence to another player that was hacking you received a lovely one month ban.
Far Cry 3 was "average". Everyone gets a hard on for Vaas, which had hardly any depth in character. Here's a great idea, instead of a good boss battle in an arena styled setting fighting off the main bad guy and his goons. Let's do a dumb QTE boss battle that even a child can press through. Yippee. Far Cry 1 was fantastic, the franchise has gone downhill since then.
/end rant
I personally liked the stealth tree, sneaking up on a camp, and carefully dispatching guards and then dragging them off into the forest. It would have been nice if the 2 remaining in the squad took notice that you took out 8 of their comrades, panicked, and then hit the alarm. I hope they put in a lot more camps, and make them very difficult to liberate.
Hopefully my i5-3570k and EVGA GTX-760 SC can keep up when this comes out.
If you finish it in less than a day, it's your own damn fault for skipping half the game.
