Modern.

Damn.

 

[ViciousDS]

Hasn't assassin's creed always been with Sony? I'd be surprised if that changes.

unity i think was a microsoft thing

Unity was MS, and I don't think they re-upped for Syndicate, likely cause Unity wasn't exactly getting high praise.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

So Sony are marketing this so it's safe to say Microsoft got Assassin's Creed. I don't think Sony would corner the market on third party titles.

They have Red Dead 2, Destiny 2, and CoD WWII as well, so I would think otherwise.

Pretty much the only company that still moneyhats for MS is EA.

Yes, MS has AC.

 

[MaximusPayne]

Holy...that's a lot of killing

 

[Nielm]

I could never bring myself to even start Far Cry 4, so hopefully this one will be more interesting.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Chilling and horrifying teasers

They forgot to release the teaser in which someone goes into the voting booth and votes for President

"moneyhats" fuck me.

 

[Laplasakos]

I think MS also had the marketing for the first Assassin's Creed game. Then Sony had the marketing for every other AC game except Unity.

 

[Keasar]

Not sure if this will sell me on a Far Cry, but hey, I am kinda glad that it plays out for once in an temperate area of non-poverty.... presumably, unless Montana has gone to shits without people knowing.

 

[gutterboy44]

Very excited for the setting alone. Hopefully they change up the FC formula enough to make the game feel fresh again. Montana is an amazing state. The terrain and weather variables are nuts. I experienced all four seasons in the span of three hours when I was out there for my brother's wedding. I hope it starts all back wood bumpkins, religious nutters and meth heads and slowly works its way to the mega rich who run the world and have cabins in Big Sky.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

Well it's definitely modern day.

You can see modern buildings and a modern propane tank.

That sadly has lessened my interest over it being a 19th century wild west game.

AC1 was supposed to be PS3 exclusive at first I think. Sony probably had marketing for all titles excluding Unity.

 

[Laieon]

Might be the first Fry Cry game I'm interested in.

After living in Korea for 3 years, any bit of Americana gets me.

 

[packy34]

What is Ubisoft even going to show at E3 at this point

 

[Basketball]

I'm hoping for 3rd person

 

[bombshell]

Battlefront II is also Sony. They have insane marketing potential for this holiday season.

 

[Tain]

Thought I'd have zero interest after Primal but this sounds dope.

 

[DNAbro]

What is Ubisoft even going to show at E3 at this point

Farcry, Assassin's Creed, Just Dance, South Park, Rabbitds Battle Kingdom, probably something else secret.

 

[Hendrick's]

So western rumors were true?

So excited for this!

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

What is Ubisoft even going to show at E3 at this point

Perchance a new splinter cell

 

[iTehDroiD]

So the logo pretty much gives the cop setting away that was rumored a few days ago. Not excited for this tbh. Gives me a Bf Hardline vibe.

I still have to wait and see what they show friday of course. Lets hope they finally use better animations and not the same ones since Far Cry 2

 

[bombshell]

Farcry, Assassin's Creed, Just Dance, South Park, Rabbitds Battle Kingdom, probably something else secret.

Secret will be new pirate IP, is my guess.

 

[DNAbro]

no they weren't.

 

[packy34]

Farcry, Assassin's Creed, Just Dance, South Park, Rabbitds Battle Kingdom, probably something else secret.

They've already shown South Park (and given it a new release date) and they're about to show Far Cry. They've also announced The Crew 2 ahead of the event. Seems like an unusual strategy is all

 

[GrantDaNasty]

What is Ubisoft even going to show at E3 at this point

Gameplay for the announced stuff. We likely won't see much of Far Cry 5 other than get teaser trailer with a logo, and they announced The Crew 2 with no footage shown yet. Lump Assassin's Creed (hasn't been announced yet) in there and possibly talk about a new Tom Clancy game and I figure they'll have enough for a conference.

Let's also not forget Just Dance, Rabbids etc.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Nope it's not. E3 is not the time to announce games. That's an astronomically stupid strategy. They're announcing games now and showing little. They will show more at E3

 

[Fisty]

So I guess Call of Juarez is dead then. Speaking of... where the hell is Dying Light 2? Hopefully we get an E3 reveal

 

[Raptor]

please no eagles.

 

[iTehDroiD]

That secret new Pirate IP no one knows about.

 

[gutterboy44]

I absolutely expect there to be a fire watch tower and for there to be a Firewatch easter egg. Close the Far Cry Thumbs loop Ubi. Do it.

 

[packy34]

Nope it's not. E3 is not the time to announce games. That's an astronomically stupid strategy. They're announcing games now and showing little. They will show more at E3

So "astronomically stupid" that every pub has done it for 15 years

 

[DNAbro]

This really doesn't feel that different from before. We are going to get "live" gameplay for all the above which will make up the majority of the conference. Then some thing secret to end it like always.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

So I guess Call of Juarez is dead then. Speaking of... where the hell is Dying Light 2? Hopefully we get an E3 reveal

What do either of those games have to do with this?

So "astronomically stupid" that every pub has done it for 15 years

Well they haven't been doing that recently, because yes it's stupid. Games get glossed over and forgotten about because there's a slew of information for a load of different games coming at once. Devs have copped on to this and have started to announce games before E3 and elaborate on them at E3. Ubisoft have been doing this for years.

 

[Compsiox]

If the map is 90% forest, it's going to feel like any other Far Cry (to me).

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

All teaser combined to one video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy_R-G6Kd5A

Whew, this is very creepy! If they can pull of this atmosphere in-game this could be something really special.

 

[Fbh]

Montana sounds kinda uninteresting at first, specially comming after the Himalayas or the early years of mankind.

But I like the vibe they are going for. If you are a cop, there is something like a cult and they make it like an over the top version of true detective this could be pretty cool.

 

[ArchedThunder]

If the map is 90% forest, it's going to feel like any other Far Cry (to me).

Highly unlikely that the map is that heavily forested. Any forests will probably be restricted to mountains, and a large amount of the map will probably be prairie and or badlands.

 

[Eylos]

Remind me a Little of resident evil 4 vibe, but brighter and no monsters

 

[Gaz_RB]

Finally a video game I can look for my house in.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Lmao does Ubisoft hate America now?

Who doesn't?

By the way, the throwaway reddit account said this dealt with Christianity extremism cult in the deep center North America.
Let me fetch the post

Wait, focus testing is still a thing in 2017? I thought we all agreed actual customers are the best source of feedback? The "leaked" details come from an apparent focus tester for the game.

Very much still a thing. Weirdly the compensation has been going up. Even 5 years ago, it was $50 or $75. You usually get feed, play the game for an hour, and then talk about what you thought of the game. Sometimes they throw box art at you to give your opinion but i haven't seen that done in years. I just did one for $250 and basically all I had to do is give feedback to a couple of upcoming E3 trailers.The people running the meetings have gotten way more intense.For example there was this one trailer they showed three times with different colors. I made a comment about it being the Mass Effect 3 ending of trailers. The other people laughed. I almost got kicked out by the interviewer but luckily one of the people watching behind the one way mirror glass wall wanted me to explain it.

They've already shown South Park (and given it a new release date) and they're about to show Far Cry.

When is the new release date?

Also I keep wondering when Splinter Cell will return.

 

[Stiler]

I mean it's no more unrealistic in other games, but I'm sure there will be more modern vehicles and weapons.

But there are some pretty secluded places in American once you get to more rural and open spaces.

Doesn't matter how "secluded" it is, going around having gameplay like Far Cry 4, etc and just blasting people all over will feel out of place for that setting if they try to make the setting/story realistic.

How does being set in America change anything?

You can picture someone in modern day Montana doing anything like in FC 3/4 and it wouldn't feel "out of place" for the setting and time period?

It'd be like a GTA game having you play as a cop and then ignoring all the violence that comes with the gameplay of GTA games usually.

 

[RootCause]

I can't stand shitty live action commercials. Still hyped for the game though.

 

[jelly]

So, no game play trailer, just a real life trailer?

Interested if the sandbox and missions are fun and not just the same as last time.

 

[Andodalf]

Legit shook we got FC 5 teaser before AC, especially with AC sending out that tweet last week.

 

[bobbyrawlins]

I'll play this. Gonna miss the lush, tropical vibe, though.

 

[pitchfork]

Bugger..

Was hoping for a western..

Or Dinosaurs..

 

[MaxiLive]

I like the tone of these teasers and it would be great to see the game follow them but I really don't think that fits the modern FarCry series so I'm guessing the world will feel a lot more alive rather than isolated.

Interested to see more as I tend to always enjoy the Farcry games to some degree!

 

[GasProblem]

It's a setting which houses plenty of potential for a cool story.
