    Dammit, I wanted to hunt prehistoric beasts with guns!

    Kinda worried that prehistoric weapons won't create a lot of variety in the combat.

    Yeah. It's like

    Bow
    Spear
    Hand axe
    Atlatl (probably not)
    A club maybe
    Some kind of tomahawk
    A torch

    And that's about it.

    All I need is a spear

    Hand to hand! It is the basis of all combat! Only a fool trusts his life to a weapon!

    surely there will still be guns and the game is set in, like, a lost valley in Siberia or the hollow earth or something

    also I still hold that far cry 3 was a reasonably clever satire on colonialism that failed partially due to not committing to the conceit enough and partially due to people not picking up that it was meant to be a joke

    Given you spend the entire game drugged out of your mind killing foreigners to the Island for a foreigner to the Island who's a rapist, I'm not sure how much more obvious they could make it.

    People toss out the white savior tropes a lot, but you really don't change much in Far Cry 3. The best thing you can do is leqve

    I really dig all the Far Cry games after 3, so I'm pretty curious what this will be like.

    It looks like no dinosaurs but Megafauna anyway. Which is probably not going to be scientifically accurate anyway, so they might as well have just gone with dinosaurs.

    Is there a time frame on when the announcement will happen?

    I am going to guess. It is a far cry game from Ubisoft, it is going to be a game where you are either out for revenge/protecting your tribe. You will kill animals and people with stone age weapons. It is a video game. Things you can for sure not expect: realistic depictions of ancient culture and whatnot.

    It is also an Ubisoft game, so you can expect it to be at least as buggy as a roach motel and to have a pretty suboptimal AI.

    To be fair, the Far Cry team has had a better track record about this stuff than basically the entire rest of Ubisoft. Remember that they're not all one studio.

    Chivalry has taught me that sling shots are significantly better than bows.

    How open world are the Farcry games? Are they like Prototype where you can turn your hand into a chainfist and use a corpse as a surfboard to slide down the Empire State Building? Can you open your own jelqing studio? Can you hybridize an ocelot and a revolver?

    You go around an environment, climb towers to reveal a map, do mini-missions, and collect objects in an environment.

    The bow was the best weapon anyway

    Endless forests without cities or towns or even buildings... seems like a tough sell for an open world game? Just a bunch of nomads wandering through nature and getting attacked by beasts. Maybe it jumps ahead and visits some early agricultural societies?

    We'll get back there someday.

    Its not so much the lack of guns as the lack of options now that worries me.

    The Shangri La missions we boring because there were only three ways to approach combat, as opposed to the dozens of ways in the normal story.

    But we'll see I guess.

    I am not currently interested in this game but I will not complain about a studio choosing to dramatically mix up a setting and lose some of the most iconic aspects of their game franchise as a result.

    Wow good job moving that goal post.
    I do agree that we need more non-white protags, though.

    dude looks like he walked off the set of the hobbit after auditioning for the role of bard

    you're welcome to keep on shitting on me but with that as far as i'm concerned that dude is white until they show a shot that proves definitively otherwise
