I only made it halfway through 3 and 4 before getting tired of them, but a modern day Western would definitely get me interested in this one.

 

[Strax]

Good idea - Justified-type game where it's cops vs. small time criminals in a grey area of society where everyone is playing each other for money and power

Bad idea - Hero Cop™ fights aw shucks hillbillies who are Christian/God crazy cultists and maybe some timely Donald Trump references!

It's Ubisoft so I'm gonna guess it's the latter.

tbf Justified has some of your bad idea except for DT.

Except everything in Justified is 10/10.

Spoiler

Ignoring season 5 antags, but even then the Raylan's final line to Crowe was fantastic.

 

[Raitaro]

Still waiting on a dino Farcry over here...

Not that this one will be that of course. Sigh...

Even the worst season (5) of Justified is better than any heavy-handed Ubisoft story.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Greatest game of all time. Woo!

[FelipeMGM]

The way this conference call is going, I doubt any details will be shared...

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

man the mention of ubisoft working on a pirate game made me really hope it was farcry dont think im interested in another modern day farcry

 

[Liquidsnakeiv]

Maybe this will be the one that finally hooks me.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Someone asked in the conference call if the game was western themed and Yves refused comment on that. He said details will be shared soon, so nothing today it seems

 

[Backlogger]

That's the logo?

Everything is 80s now.

Did you see the Thor Ragnorok title?

 

[bud23]

People talking about Justified, Longmire or Hell or High Water

Do you really believe that the most annoying writers in the industry, the pretentious,mawkish nerds at Ubisoft will be able to create something like that? Pls

Ubisoft pretty much started the new trend with Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon. Which was excellent and i hope they do sequel to that some day.

It's merely providing context for the kind of general atmosphere one might expect from a Far Cry in this setting

Not that the game will be anywhere as good as those

 

[Backlogger]

Yeah, they were definitely ahead of the game

I also think Strange Things kicked things up a notch. Keep hearing similar music in other shows (Like Legion on FX) and people creating "title" logos to look more like they did in the 80s.

Yep thats when ill buy a far cry game again

 

[Chubzdoomer]

I'd love to see them attempt an original-FarCry/Crysis-style game--not open world, but with open levels with many possible approaches. I'm just so sick of the open-world bullshit at this point.

 

[Sniffynose]

Hey Ubisoft, no co-op no sale. I skipped Farcry Primal after loving Farcry 4 and playing the entire thing with my wife.

 

[MaximusPayne]

[Lucreto]

Old West Montana = instant buy


Modern day Montana = massive uphill struggle to part me with my money.

 

[Wamb0wneD]

They can keep it.
I'll wait for the one with dinosaurs in it.

Not the one with Snake in it?

 

[Bizzquik]

This announcement is so barebones that they didn't even bother to fill in the font?

LoL

Tangent: This series needs a considerable reinvention. Far Cry 4 was just Far Cry 3: The Michael Bay Edition. Even with the Survival Mode, Far Cry: Primal is struggling to keep my interest; very formulaic.

 

[PSOreo]

Exciting! I really enjoyed 3 and just working through 4 as part of my current backlouge. I'm holding out hope for 'Blood Dragon 2'.

 

[Frostman]

LoL

Yep, that's exactly my problem. F3 was my favourite, 4 I couldn't finish because it felt like the same game and I ended up getting burnt out. Primal I waited for opinions on, only then to be told it was the same game again but with a different coat of painting. I didn't bother buying it.

 

[DoctorFling]

Oh nice, we can colour in the logo however we like!

 

[Darklor01]

LOL!! I'd agree but.. it doesn't sound like there's much difference between them.

http://mt.gov/discover/brief_history.mcpx

Pre-1840s - Native Americans land.
Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-1806 - White people came
1860s-Discovery of gold brought more white people
1876/1877 - Battle of Little Bighorn/Big Hole Basin

pre-1870, mostly mining town communities, post-1869 open cattle ranching communities were the main sources of income.

1880's - Railroads

1909 - Enlarged Homestead Act - Thousands of wheat farmers came.

WW1 and WW2 brought depression from which the state relies much on Federal spending to survive.

Montana's post-war society has evolved significantly during the "modern" era. Still predominantly white, it has experienced the building of bridges with Indian communities, the acceptance of ethnic immigrants, the development of a Hutterite network, and the emergence of white-supremacist cells. Population fluctuations cost Montana a U.S. House seat in the 1990s and have kept the total population under 900,000. Population shifts have loaded Montana's people in the western one-third of the state and "emptied out" eastern Montana's vast spaces.

While some national observers consider Montana a part of America's "cultural outback," many Montanans pride themselves on their strong spirit of community, their close contact with the environment, and their fundamental "sense of place." The debate continues.

Sounds like a great place for a game! LOL. Also, sounds like modern Montana may be reasonably similar looking to older Montana. I don't live there, so I don't really know.

Far Cry 5: WWII

 

[DiabloTheGrey]

I love the Far Cry series. Definitely ready for a new one. As unlikely as it is, I'd buy the Switch version if they made one.

 

[SOR5]

Noooooo not more towers to climb

 

[N° 2048]

I'm part of the problem. Day 1.

 

[whiteninja]

Hoping for more diverse enemies this time. It got rediculous on FC4 where it felt like I was fighting clones (and seeing the same female resistance members over and over).

 

[Ushay]

I'm hyped, but what the hell is that logo.

 

[Blobbers]

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

 

[blame space]

Love car cry

 

[RedAssedApe]

i think i'll be ready for more far cry having skipped FC4 and Primal

 

[DirtyLarry]

Ubisoft are not exactly known for especially critical or politically interesting writing, though. Whenever they try to do something in those realms, it always comes across extremely heavy-handed -- a result, I think, of the size of the company and the money involved. They're extremely risk and controversy averse, and FC5 will be no different, should it end up as per your speculation.

Yeah as more_badass pointed out, I think they had a pretty solid attempt with Watch Dogs 2 myself. So you never know, they may dial it up some more. Now is no doubt the time to do so.

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

So what are you guys thinking it is? Like RDR or actually modern setting. I'm going with the latter because, correct me if I'm wrong this hasn't been done a whole lot before.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Far Cry 5-0

 

[dh4niel]

Isn't this meant to be the wild west one?

 

[RedAssedApe]

Isn't this meant to be the wild west one?

iirc all we know is it is set in Montana.

 

[xxracerxx]

Isn't this meant to be the wild west one?

Modern day Montana.

 

[DOWN]

Did we already discuss the involvement of CryEngine here?

 

[JaseC]

Hey Ubisoft, no co-op no sale. I skipped Farcry Primal after loving Farcry 4 and playing the entire thing with my wife.

A fully-fledged campaign co-op mode would be great.

 

[fargofallout]

Far Cry games seem like games I should enjoy, but I just don't. I tried three a few times, and bounced right off of four. I haven't quite been able to put into words what puts me off so hard, but I think it's just the general Ubisoft way of making their open world games into nagging simulators.

I just want someone to create Skyrim or Breath of the Wild, except a quality FPS (I enjoyed Fallout 4, but it wasn't a quality FPS). I prefer open world games that don't tell me what to do and encourage me to just wander around and find stuff. Maybe Far Cry 5 will be that?

 

[Jack The Nipper]

I wish their formula changed up with it but not expecting that at all.

 

[#sorrynotsorry]

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

Rumors. And credible ones. Montana would be a great pick for the game. Lots of forests. Good ideas already. Could also do Deliverance.

 

[SlimySnake]

lol these morons havent learned a single thing from Sony. This is not how you announce a game. FFS.

 

[heklu]

I want a western setting so bad! I didn't play any Far Cry game very long. I just played Far Cray 3 for like 5 hours. But if it'll be a western setting, I'll give this series a try.

 

[0ptimusPayne]

Far Cry 5-0..
