So it's definitely a westernish game that's gonna take place in Montana

What could possible be going on in Montana in this game to make it worth playing? Either a different time or some insanely fictional story lines going on here.

Religious militia.

Looks like the leaker on reddit was right about the Montana setting with the religious cultists.
I really did not expect themes like that in a game.

Can't wait for the hyper charismatic psychotic preacher antagonist.
Far Cry post-3 are made by their villains. This sounds like it could be a really interesting one.

You're totally right - and hopefully that means a more low key combat experience, more sparse and intense like Far Cry 2.
If you turned the music off in Far Cry 2 it was almost like No Country for Old Men: The Game.
If they're not doing that... They've blown it already.
Well, CoJ is a western-themed Ubisoft shooter, which Far Cry 5 seems to be. I don't think they would work on two of basically the same thing.
And CoJ is developed by Techland, who makes Dying Light... which we are due for a follow up on soon considering how successful it was for them.
Just kinda sad it seems like we won't see more CoJ
That first trailer legit looked like IRL film footage on my phone...
There were no towers in Watch Dogs 2 or Ghost Recon Wildlands and only nominally in AC Syndicate.

I'm pretty certain it's live action with some CGI.
KKK armed Group going Wild and you play as a character in the radical resistance
My guess

What makes you say that?
There's also that space game teased in WD2. Maybe

Am I alone in hoping that this turns out to basically be Longmire: The Video Game? I'm also hoping for some kind of Outlast 2-ish "cult runs the county" creepy experience but those ideas are kinda incompatible with both each other and the standard Far Cry formula maybe? I dunno.
It's probably that drug cartel standard stuff the rumors suggested though.
How do we know? I didn't notice anything in the trailers that would signify modern setting.
And besides, as someone who's been to modern day Montana, there's absolutely nothing there to make a video game out of lol
I loved Longmire, that would be sweet. The Cultish stuff would good too imo.

There are silos in the back of another video. Leaks say modern day Montana and main character is a cop.

Exactly what i thought at first lol. Sad to see the setting is the Western US. Skipped Primal now this... i'll come back when i get more lush, tropical goodness.

Exactly. Same here. Been out there a few times for fishing and hunting. Not much out there. Crazy beautiful... but a lot of nothing.
Man they are gonna have to get REALLY creative lol

Not anymore than they were for 3/4. I mean this is a series that takes huge liberties with all of its settings.
I'm wishing more of a Banshee:The Videogame, because that's what the teaser reminded me of and holy shit would it be an amazing setting for a game. Probably would work better in a game with more Batman-like gameplay instead of Far Cry due to all the hand-to-hand, but I'll take it.

Reminds me of the church from Preacher...yes!
That's because it was IRL film footage.

It really does, especially when enemy markers are disabled and you have to use your own eyes to check your targets when things get hairy.
There are a lot of aspects to Wildlands that make me hopeful in a new Far Cry, but there are equally things in the Ubi open world formula that have bugged me just as much.
Curiosity piqued, though I'm looking at these teaser trailers as nothing more than a reveal of the setting (modern rural and small town), and not necessarily tone. Game trailers have a bad track record when it comes to tone.

Additionaly the propane tank near the church along with its roof, definitely looks modern.

I won't lie, I worry such a setting might be limited compared to the islands and mountains of previous games.
But we've yet to see gameplay, so we'll see. I loved 3 and 4, but it does feel like I'll need a change to keep going.

I was right that it was an american farcry from the red white blue logo.

Don't have the opportunity to watch the teasers yet but that church.gif gives me Preacher vibes.

Now I'm super interested. Let's do this!
Always liked Far Cry and glad it's tackling something like this.

??
Did I miss the media with the game's actual visuals?
Not that I've had a problem with visuals in any of the Far Cry games, and the work in Wildlands just ups the ante on that.
yep and made me thought that FC5's towers will be churches ;-)

It's sad that some of you think this is the game and not live footage. Come on, you're gaming enthusiast. Act like it.
For real, though. Can't wait to see some of these environments in show.

Think about it. What region of the American Midwest has less hope and more guns than a rural American city with a cute name?
