I wonder if this is the game Clint Hocking's working on.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

So again, can someone tell me where this Montana mumbojumbo is coming from?

-Ubisoft was filming something in Montana for Far Cry
-There were claims from Kotaku that they had heard modern day Montana
-An email tip to the Giant Bombcast back in December said that their friend had seen materials for the game and it was set in modern day Montana or an area based on that, and you play a sheriff fighting against militia groups that had taken over ranches


The Wild West rumor seems like it may have come from sites hearing about the filming in Montana and connecting it to a past Ubisoft survey about future settings that included Wild West as an option.

I wonder if this is the game Clint Hocking's working on.

Is this like a joke now?

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

Think No Country For Old Men, Hell or High Water, The Place Beyond The Pines, The Way of The Gun, Longmire, Justified

Neo-western/Appalachian noir

Fuckin christ if this game was just a Raylan Givens simulator i would be totally ok with that.

Mah god...

 

[Interfectum]

Is this like a joke now?

Isn't he working for Ubisoft again?

 

[Darkangel]

I wouldn't mind a Far Cry game set in Detroit.

Call it American Carnage or something.

 

[Shock_Wave]

What you mean by joke?

Tonally this sounds like such a departure from the goofiness of 3 and 4.

 

[icecold1983]

Far cry 5 or far cry 3.7, that is the question

 

[TacticalHotdog]

If it is set in modern day Montana, I hope it doesn't end up like Battlefield Hardline or Call of Juarez: The Cartel

 

[Lylo]

Well, i can't say i didn't enjoy Far Cry 3 and 4, so bring it on!

Didn't like Primal though...

 

[Maroon Gamer]

Wow the grafikz is insane.

 

[Shadax the wizard]

So not "five"?

 

[doemaaan]

The epic hype of this announcement has my knees buckling.

 

[Warm Machine]

Please be set on snowy Russian mountains.

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

Same old open world formula of kill animals, skin them and upgrade, look for radio towers, and kill random enemies? Yawn.

 

[Shredderi]

Tonally this sounds like such a departure from the goofiness of 3 and 4.

Definitely. I actually liked the trippy vibes those had. It drove in the exoticness of the locations. Definitely super bummed about this seemingly being true. Montana is so damn mundane as an environment compared to what I was expecting. Guess I can hope that they go back to exotic locations and cultures with FC6.

 

[Tonky]

Well at least it's less likely to be a reskin of 3 like how 4 was

 

[dreamfall]

Is this the Ubi game set in the West? I really want to see how they change up the FC formula. Still haven't tried Primal, but I was feeling pretty burned out after Blood Dragon. I also still think FC2 will always be my favorite.

 

[Khrno]

I wasn't very hyped from the wild west rumor since I was thinking it was gong to be a Call of Juarez the Cartel and that I hated that game while I loved the previous ones.

But the Montana setting interests me more.

Also, FarCry from two onward, is my favorite Ubi series, so I'm really looking forward to playing this game this year.

If FC5 is not a November release, then they better have AC Egypt for November.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Rebel militias in Montana? Reminds me of DMZ.

 

[yurinka]

-Ubisoft was filming something in Montana for Far Cry

I thought the original rumor said "a western videogame" and didn't mention Ubisoft or Far Cry.

 

[Big_Al]

Think No Country For Old Men, Hell or High Water, The Place Beyond The Pines, The Way of The Gun, Longmire, Justified

Neo-western/Appalachian noir

Showing my age here as I thought of Extreme Prejudice. (the sounds a bit fucked on that clip unfortunately)

 

[TripOpt55]

Something like Justified would be awesome. I just finished watching the series and loved it.

 

[Vashetti]

Same old open world formula of kill animals, skin them and upgrade, look for radio towers, and kill random enemies? Yawn.

There's been nothing announced other than a title. Cool off.

 

[gogosox82]

Is that really the logo? That seems awfully bland looking.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Love fc3.

 

[Griss]

I've enjoyed every numbered Far Cry game, love the series to bits. But if it's set in the american west that would be a real hard sell for me. I love GTA and Rockstar games but I couldn't enjoy RDR, the setting is such an active turn-off.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

I'd love it if it was fantasy Montana, where vampires have taken over the town. Or something. I wanted vampires from that survey lol.

 

[hydruxo]

Hope this is good. I loved FC3 but I found FC4 to be too much of the same and the setting was pretty boring. If it really is the rumored Montana setting that could be interesting.

 

[ronaldthump]

red white and blue. Its some sort of far cry set in america?

 

[Tainted]

100% completed FC3 but bounced off FC4 pretty quickly. Not sure why, it seemed like a solid game...possibly because I burnt myself out on Far Cry after 3 and 4 basically was the same game almost but in a different setting.

Primal seemed like a fairly big departure for the series, but the setting did not really interest me. I hope they continue this trend of mixing things up a bit as they did with Primal though so we could be seeing something very different in FC5

 

[Bishop89]

Nice.

Hope it's a drastic change at least with the setting. 4 and primal setting was soooo fucking boring.

Either make it with heaps of tropical islands, or even a ww2 setting I'd love.

 

[MattyG]

WW2 has always been what I wanted. Something like the MC being a pilot in the pacific that gets shot down over an uncharted island with some weird shit going down on it. That'd be really neat.

But modern Montana could be neat. Sounds like they're going for a more drastic version of the whole Bundy standoff in Oregon, which might be interesting if done right.

 

[wtd2009]

Blood dragon style, oh how I wish.

 

[GlassAwful]

Logo missed opportunity for Far Cry 5.0 as in "Five Oh"..

Am I the first to point this out? Taking credit regardless.

 

[The Lone Courier]

Where is everyone getting a cop from Montana from?

 

[Auctopus]

Is that really the logo? That seems awfully bland looking.

There's hints of colour behind, I'm guessing when the actual title revealed it will work with the cover. It doesn't really work on its own.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Curious about the gameplay.

 

[rainz]

Looking forward to this.
Feel like they have been steadily making some nice QOL improvements with the series, if they can nail the atmosphere and story and start adding new mechanics im ready to go again.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

That was canceled in favor of indefinite updates to the first game.

Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OfTheOverflow]

Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, Siege is a competitive shooter first and foremost. Those types of games don't receive constant iterations, really...

 

[Orayn]

I hope right wing militia cult dudes winds up being the case, they'll be fun villains.

Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Do we need a CS:GO 2?

 

[Lord of Castamere]

red white and blue. Its some sort of far cry set in america?

Montana. You play as a cop hunting down rouge Americans, apparently.

 

[farting]

far cry 2 is the only game in the series i've enjoyed, hope it's more like that

 

[dickroach]

Wow the grafikz is insane.

the draw distance on the shadow of that 5 is incredible

 

[FLAguy954]

Fuck yes, more Far Cry please.

 

[BBboy20]

Red, White and Blue. Like the USA and good old Police.

Really hope the whole modern day Montana thing is true. Would love to see some crazy Sovereign Citizen/White Supremacist shenanigans for the antagonists.

May as well add some alt-right folks into the mix.

here's hoping we finally get Far Cry 4, after Far Cry 3, Far Cry 3: Neon, Far Cry 3.5 and Far Cry 3.5: Primal

Finding out that 4 pretty much had almost the same guns was the final nail in the coffin in ever wanting to play it.

Primal...was overall...meh about playing that.

Far Cry 5-0

 

[TissueBox]

Well, power to 'em I suppose.

 

[Falchion]

I applaud them for using a logo which reveals absolutely nothing about the game compared to the one which leaked earlier.
