Er, yes. It looks spectacular at times and there are few games that come with a similar sense of scale. Actually, Arma is the only other one I can think of right now.

Slow down dude.
So the gameplay is not going through a major shakeup? That's a bummer but expected. Unfortunately the game doesn't play even a little bit to my desire for virtual tourism like the previous games did and the setting looks as balls to the wall boring as I feared. Actually gave me GTA5 vibes. God I wish they'd gone with one of their more "out there" settings. Also the "create your character" thing isn't a plus for me. I'm not a huge fan of cipher protagonists. I like a bit of personality and drive in my character. Gotta say 'pass' for now.

They have their own holy book and symbols. Christianity won't be mentioned. Ubi isn't going to mess with that.

I always wondered where "Far Cry" came from. I remember in the first game you mutated into something for a bit. Talk about a change in direction. Whew.

This looks cool. Too few games pit you against crazy Christian nutjobs (whom I find scary as fuck), should be fun.

I love the Far Cry series; will pick this up for sure.

If you keep almost everything the same but change the setting you can get away with it.

here is what makes a Far Cry game: you shoot bad guys in a rural setting. it is always ok to shoot these bad guys because you are an outsider and they are all crazy militants of some sort. swap out patronizing ethic tatoos for patronizing American evanglism and you have this. you will still be spending most of the time climbing radio towers and infiltrating shanty towns. only now it means something maaaan (it means bloggers have an angle for additional coverage (cos "political")

And any fantasies about gunning down white supremacists have been put to bed. No way racism was going to be explored in FarCry.

I dig the rural setting and idea of a charismatic leader of a cult.
I always like badass preacher characters. I always think of that scene in Brain Dead where the Priest says "I kick arse for the Lord!".
Custom protagonist is almost always preferable to me.

Ah there's own thread for the new trailers. I guess I'll add this here too.
Loved Mary May and Jerome Jeffries trailers. Happy about the character focus on these early trailers, it's promising. This is looking to become the first mainline Far Cry I'll buy, only got Blood Dragon so far.
Edit: To OP, there are uncensored versions available for the trailers. I'd suggest changing links to them.

Despite the fact that none of the cult have been minorities and out of the revealed characters there is a prominent black character and the protagonist can be black?
Even if it's not explicit in the trailer, it's pretty obviously an element of the cult.
Edit: Didn't notice the church scene fully. Yeah fair enough.
Sucks it will not be out till next year. Sucks even more that I won't buy it till a sale a few months after release. $79.99 plus tax comes to $91.99 here in Canada. Maybe a full year from now it will be in the $40-$50 range. Maybe amazon.ca will have some good E3 pre-order deals...

Probably also Montreal, they've got something like 3000 people working there.
2 hour credits?

I was interested but lost all interested after seeing the trailer. Looks like another one of those games just in a different setting.
Ubisoft Montreal. They've got over 1000 people working on multiple titles there.

Yep. This is going to be a goofy, sanitized, Canadian safari that doesn't do anything remotely contentious, and treats live, dangerous politics and culture as a prop for cartoon violence. It's amazing how they make it toothless and tasteless at the same time.
Far Cry 3 was released a month after AC3.
Far Cry 4 was released three days after AC Unity and AC Rogue.
What are you on about?
Ubisoft Montreal are massive in terms of scale.
On another note I always wondered if people who Spell Assassins creed as "AssCreed" chuckle whenever they write it

It is a political topic. Let's not be snarky about it.
It will be releasing near Red Dead 2, so expect a price drop very soon after release.

First thought that comes to mind is the time you boxed the Pope in Assassin's Creed 2.

Since October, Prime gives you 20% off all preorders in Canada so it'd end up being 72.99 after tax. Still not ideal but it's better than the alternative if you don't want to wait for deeper discounts.

Absolutely awesome. I'm already loving these characters.
It can still be them, Far Cry 3 and 4 lead was Montreal too, and that didnt stop another part of their studio to lead AC Black Flag and AC Unity
Heck, Ubi Montreal has been the lead for multiple AC at the same time even, They are a huuuuge studio

Certainly the most interested I've been in a Far Cry game since Far Cry 3.
Good to see the cretins hoping for Race War: The Game have been disappointed as well. Hopefully it can be extracted from the steaming pile of political proxy war bullshit and discussed on its own merits now.

They need to improve the gameplay in the series for me personally. Feels way too arcadey and I'd love to see an emphasis on better melee too. Something with much more nuance like TLOU for example.
Make the gameplay feel grittier and more real and I might be interested.
I mean look at Molotov's in TLOU - how the graphical effect is (flow of the liquid and how the flames look) as well as the screaming if it burns someone.

Someone did the favour of already posting it:
I cranked the graphics as tall as I could during the Open Beta on PC just before launch, unless they magically introduced more graphic settings than they decided to include with the beta in the release, it's doesn't look much better than that there.
My interest in this game just disappeared.
