Ubisoft Confirms 'Far Cry 4' for release in November

1658

(http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/05/15/ubisoft-confirms-far-cry-4-for-this-fiscal-year.aspx)I personally loved almost everything about Far Cry 3, the biggest dislike being the protagonist Jason, did not like him at all, but on the flipside we had the antagonist, Vaas, who was fucking amazing.

Very much looking forward to this game.

Wow, didn't know it was even being considered. I thought FC3 was good but not great. It followed the basic open world "RPG" formula but like you said the main character was unlikeable and his development was uninspiring. I think we've seen enough of "young white kid saves the day for the helpless natives." I'm glad FC4 is coming out, but I hope it's not just another open world "RPG". I loved the first FC and there wasn't a lot of character upgrading if I recall correctly. The gameplay and story were better than in the sequels.

It looks like they are going to the nepal area (or maybe thailand) this time doesnt it? I guess its to give some mumbo-jumbo mystic shit with the lamas and eerie enclaves/temples/budha that exist there, like they did in the total crap that was the 3rd part. Ubisoft is completely lost with this saga.

I'd prefer they stay away from the mysticism and special powers of the hero in the 3rd game and go back to the roots. The main character should be an escaped prisoner who lands on a government run secret base that is up to no good. Or maybe a zombie-infested island. Either way, the hero should be more an anti-hero like in the first game (if I remember it correctly).

Here's some info/backstory about the pink-suited villain, 'Pagan Min'. (http://www.gameinformer.com/games/far_cry_4/b/xboxone/archive/2014/06/13/the-face-of-evil-a-look-at-far-cry-4-controversial-villain.aspx)




Also, if you haven't seen it already, here's the reveal trailer for FC4:

So is the main character of FC4 the villain? I didn't like how that went in FC3.

Graphically it looks pretty awesome. The grappling action looks kinda silly. The C4 garbage can was cool, as well as shooting while driving. Otherwise it looks like typical FC gameplay.
