I'm very pumped for this game. Far Cry games are just.... FUN.

PistolsAtDawn2520d ago

So far it does looks very promising...I just hope they don't try SOOOO hard to be controversial that they ruin the game. Games are a different medium, and since you are engaged in them...the message gets intensified...so it's easy to go overboard.

Fishy Fingers2520d ago (Edited 2520d ago )

They're not. The only complaints I'm seeing are people complaining about the currently non existent complainers. Frankly it's getting tedious. The game looks cool, leave the social commentary (if it comes, which as yet it hasn't) out of it.

The 10th Rider2520d ago

@Fishy Fingers,

I absolutely abhor that. It's like with the whole Starbuck's "red cup" controversy. There were far more people upset that people were supposedly worked up about it than there were actual people worked up about it. 99% of the time they're just giving more attention to the select few that are actually upset about it.

rainslacker2519d ago

The only controversy right now is based on people's knee jerk reactions to their assumption that the game was going to be anti-christian, despite nothing actually suggesting that will be the case. As of right now, it's just the media trying to get clicks.

Duke192520d ago

Lol @ downvotes. "Screw your concept of fun!"

(on topic I agree - always enjoy these games)

MorpheusX2520d ago

gotta have it, looks really cool.

Timesplitter142520d ago (Edited 2520d ago )

Looks like a nice fun game, with an interesting theme and setting.

If it has good online coop and no useless crafting, I might buy it

Inzo2520d ago

So it faction wars?..... Again?

slate912520d ago

I think this will be the first Far Cry game I buy. I love the setting and have heard amazing things about the past games. So why not

USMC_POLICE2520d ago

You deffently need to go back and pick up far cry 3, if you have XB1 it's BC.

slate912520d ago

Is the story in 3 better than 4?

rtndeep92520d ago

@slate91 the story is much better than FC4.

spicelicka2520d ago

3 is definitely one of the best games I've played!

steveo1234562519d ago

Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbut exclusives???

meka26112520d ago

Very cool they are letting you make your own character this time around.

TheCommentator2520d ago

At least the devs appear to be making impactful changes with each game. Clearly, they know the definition of insanity better than most other developers do!

madforaday2520d ago

You can customize your character but I believe you won't be able to create your character from scratch, like changing his skin color/hair/gender and etc. If you could that would totally alter the immersion of the story and from the looks of it they are going to focus more on the story compared to Far Cry 4 and Primal but we will see.

phoenixwing2520d ago

I hope you're wrong. I disagree as well that it would ruin immersion, if it is all in game cut scenes they'll be fine and be able to just plop your character in no problem.

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot36d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor35d ago

Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.

Profchaos36d ago

I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel

Demetrius36d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger8835d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.

Far Cry 5 Has Surpassed 30 Million Players Worldwide

The 2018 first-person shooter has reached this milestone exactly 5 years after its initial release.

Profchaos386d ago

When you're free on every single service it's eventually going to happen.

Profchaos386d ago

Part of PS plus at the moment

ChasterMies386d ago

Far Cry 5 is “free” if you pay for PS+ Extra.

gangsta_red386d ago

Going to have to try and get back into Far Cry. The formula for Far Cry may be fun, but it gets repetitive very fast.

Demetrius386d ago

Been playing this series since far cry 3 I love the adventuring vibe this series gives off even far cry primal is so good, but experiencing far cry 5 in 60 fps crisp graphics on ps5 for the first time is dope it adds life to it, I wana give far cry 6 a second chance couldn’t get into it at first I wonder if it’s worth it

Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles now

Far Cry 5 Official Twitter: "You've been waiting long enough… Welcome to Hope County! Experience Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles … NOW! Far Cry 5 will also have a FREE WEEKEND from March 23-27 on all consoles & PC. Enjoy!"

banger88400d ago

Damn. I replayed it recently on SX with fps boost, and to achieve that they had to downgrade the resolution. Game played great but looked like ass. Wish I had've waited.

blackblades399d ago (Edited 399d ago )

So you saying fps boost lowers the resolution to achieve 60fps? Cause that culteastwitch was praising in a fanboy cok suking way.

Darkwatchman399d ago

It depends on the game. Some keep Xbox One X resolution. Others drop to base Xbox One resolution and settings.

Knushwood Butt400d ago

Nice
Waiting to play this on Extra but have had too much else to play.
So is this a native PS5 version or does the PS4 version run at 60fps on PS5?

Jin_Sakai399d ago

As expected, Far Cry 5 will now run at 60 frames-per-second on PS5,

“as part of a patch that optimises the PS4 game on Sony's new-gen console.”

Knushwood Butt399d ago

Downloading now. I might do a bit of pancake gaming this weekend.

Eidolon399d ago

Not native PS5. But still looked pretty good on PS4 Pro, and at a solid 60fps, definitely a good experience. Sadly games can't break out of PS4 Pro resolutions, for some reason.

LucasRuinedChildhood399d ago

PS4 games can run 2-2.5 times better on PS5. They're basically just changing the framerate cap to take advantage of that. They could actually change the resolution but it might affect the framerate - it's not a native PS5 game so it can't properly take advantage of the hardware. 1620p isn't bad, tbh.

Eidolon399d ago

Was really hoping to read that New Dawn would be upgraded as well. :( Already beat Far Cry 5 + and only like 1 hr into New Dawn.

KeeseToast399d ago (Edited 399d ago )

Pretty nice 👍
Now we’ll only need fps boost for:
Arkham Knight
Bloodborne
The Last Guardian
Assassin‘s Creed Unity
Shadow of the Colossus
Gravity Rush 2

Did I forget something?

Welshy399d ago

The worst part about AC Unity is that it *does* run natively at 60fps, but only when running the 1.0 version from the disc. If you allow the game to update, future patches applied a 30fps cap for some reason.

I don't see any reason it would be difficult to just lift the cap that they added.

CML2399d ago

Shadow of the Colossus already runs at 60fps.
Its possible to play The Last Guardian at 60fps with an unpatched disc version too.

Stanjara399d ago

So why not unlock framerate cap on the latest version? Can't be that hard.

CML2399d ago

Probably because the studio doesnt exist anymore. 🥲

LucasRuinedChildhood399d ago (Edited 399d ago )

Absolutely. RDR2 still sells very well so the lack of a next gen version after GTA5 next gen is really annoying.
