Far Cry Primal AKA Far Cry with cavemen

[Athos]

Neither mammohts or smilodons existed in 10000 BC no more and if they did they mustve been as rare as a white rhino. Plus yeah, 10000 BC is not exactly a cavemen era anymore, people had been pretty sophisticated in art, stone working, ceramics etc for thousands of years by that point.

The game should be set right around the Quaternary extinction event, in this video a dev says that the period is around 12000 BP.

You guys are taking an Ubisoft game too serious.

Nah, the fact that you can command sabertooth cat dispelled any doubt. I'm ready to bet that mammoth riding will also be in the game.

It was shown in the gameplay videos, yes. They are reskinned elephants from Far Cry 4--if anything, they look even easier to kill than before. I think what Cyberarmy is getting at though is that it's pointless to consider the historical plausibility of the game when it's pure schlock, which I agree with.

Yup, that's what I meant.

This game actually seems like an expansion pack just like Blood Dragon. Elephant riding, sidekick pet, primitive combat all look like copy pasted from FC4 without much effort. Only spear looks new.

 

[Zeriel]

I think this is their attempt to annualize (or close to) the series with another dev team. It's less interesting and creative than Blood Dragon by far, but much bigger in scope and content. I suspect it started development before Far Cry 4 released, maybe even concurrent with 4.

 

[Carrion]

Based on my rather limited experience (only really played FC2 and a few hours of FC4) the only fun thing about the newer Far Cry games has been playing around with different guns and coming up with interesting ways to kill stuff, and apparently that's been mostly replaced with spear chucking and animals that can do your killing for you. An open-world caveman game is a great idea, seriously, but this just looks boring.

Yup, that's right. Even friggin melee stuff was kinda fun with grenade, pistol suprises.

 

[Excidium II]

Looks cool. I like it

 

[Jedi Exile]

I love the setting, but FPS gameplay isn't really my thing.

 

[Deakul]

Looks exactly like Far Cry 3/4 just without guns.

What a fucking shame, even the UI elements and animations are identical.
It's Far Cry 4 with an emphasis on animal companions doing the dirty work.

Fuck Ubisoft. *goes back to AssCreed Syndicate like a pleb*

 

[Zeriel]

Huh, interesting. Watching a video with the developers talking. They removed radio towers. There is fog of war now on the map, so you have to actually explore to find stuff. That's a plus, and I can't say something I was expecting in 2016.

Which makes it shit. The whole point of Far Cry 3 and 4 is to do crazy shit. FC4 did a great thing by starting to move even further to the silly end of the spectrum and allowing you to do even more dumb shit in the game world.

I was hoping the next game would just keep adding more fun and stupid shit you could do. A basic minimalist story a la FC2 and no "you are leaving the mission area" horseshit are on the wishlist as well but seeing as this Ubi that seems unrealistic.

With this shit it looks like they stripped away certain elements and all they give you in return is the animal BFF. It's funny that such a drastic change is coming from Ubi out of all places, the guys that are known for repeating the same crap more than any dev in the industry at this point.

TLDR: FC3/4 without guns, explosives, a wingsuit, vehicles, or fun. It's more like FC3/4 where you are forced to use the shitty bow, stealth, and your feet for the whole game. It's shit.

 

[Sothpaw]

Great instead fighting for third world trash now I can fight for cavemen.

 

[Excidium II]

and your feet for the whole game.

Much thankful for this, hate driving in FPS

Me too, but I like flying.

Maybe you can ride a giant bird.

You can fly as an owl, so he's covered.

 

[Metro]

This looks like one of those shitty indie open world survival games you see on Steam.

That's more like flying a drone than flying. Goddamn, this game looks boring. I hope the fucker who's responsible for this shit gets fired.

 

[Viata]

And no dinossaur? Shit game. It's not like this is not fantasy, anyway.

 

[Excidium II]

Good. Dinosaurs are overdone. Should have less common megafauna too tho.

Pretty much my exact thoughts. Looks like it would get boring fast.

I think this game will tank.

 

[CyberWhale]

I like the setting, but the game seems to lack a robust hand-to-hand & melee system to compensate for the lack of various firearms.
