They said they’re changing it up this time because the Far Cry 3 formula ran its course. Interest in FC7 will be higher than the past few games for that reason alone.

Full believe it when I see it mode but hope it’s true.

 

[Ovech-King]

Love this new twist if true . Otherwise 6 was fine but you can feel the redundancy by using the same kind of environment than the 3rd

Far Cry 7

 

[TastyPastry]

didn't buy a far cry since FC5.. i guess i would be interested if it's singleplayer only (the coop stuff ruined mission design), if they cut back on the typical ubisoft bloat and most important of all cut back on the rpg light shit

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

We already got the box art and the villain unveiling

I love doing 360 spins in Far Cry games to instantly spawn a group of enemies right in front of me. Such an immersive sim............................................ With that said, camp raids are pretty fun, and preferably without companions.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Apparently it's also coming to Switch 2 alongside the other expected platforms.

Bring back the map editor!

I know...it won't happen.

Far Cry 7 Tears of the Wild

 

[Boy bawang]

FYI, the Brazilian guy pretending that the game will come to the next switch knows absolutely nothing but is trying to pass as an "insider" on another forum, mostly populated by weirdos. It's funny to watch, they spend their days mouth open waiting for a leakkake of switch stuff.

Which of course doesn't change the fact that FC7 being switch 2 bound is a likely scenario considering the timing, the fact that Ubisoft likes money, and the fact that the next switch will be powerful enough for current generation games.

 

[Perrott]

At least on paper, the concept sounds fresh and interesting.

The non-linear narrative and branching story remind me of Rainbow 6 Patriots, while the open-ended investigation within an open-world setting is reminiscent of Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. There's also the timer mechanic from Dead Rising, which could boots replayability and make things very interesting if there were missable events that happened at fixed points in time over the course of the 72 in-game hours. The story also has the potential to be much more engaging than previous Far Cry games given how the conflict will impact the protagonist on a personal level.

Can't fucking wait.

 

[R6Rider]

Look at it this way, it will still have more variety than Halo Infinite.

 

[Raven117]

I really liked Far Cry 5. That soundtrack was godtier.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I like playing Far Cry but that timer already annoys me.

Yeah I hate timers in games. That alone will stop my purchase.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I really liked Far Cry 5. That soundtrack was godtier.

I loved Far Cry 5 and New Dawn. I could spend hours taking in the wildlife and countryside. I really enjoyed the hunting side of the game as well.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I really liked Far Cry 5. That soundtrack was godtier.

This cannot be overstated; FC5 has such a banger soundtrack! Here's some of my favorite songs from the OST for anyone randomly reading this thread:







The ambient tracks coupled with the tranquil loading screens were great as well. The whole package was top notch imo.

 

[Cashon]

Go more far cry 2... but that won't happen. "Sons of Truth" name already gives me the ick

I replayed Far Cry 2 last year, and I don't think that game holds up very well at all. It does some stuff well (the general atmosphere, environment sounds, and visuals of being in Africa, no hud, fire propagation, enemies' reactions), especially for the time, but at the end of the day, actually playing it felt like a slog, the voice-acting is super weird and flat, the story is boring, and the encounters are tedious.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Location/setting/theme is everything in these games.

Please go back to Africa, and make it gritty as fuck, just like FC2.

African setting was the best thing about FC2. I wish they remade that game so I'd have a reason to play it again.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

 

[Camreezie]

More interested in what setting it would have...

 

[Dacvak]

Holy shit we’re on 7 already?? When did 6 even happen? Or was that the one with that breaking bad villain?

It’s probably the best soundtrack ever made

The instant respawn of outposts ruined that game for me.

I don't know how to start this discussion, I have been wanted to put together a thread on this for a while actually. I'll start by simply saying I was fucking blown away by the effort Dan Romer put into it. He didn't just score the game, he created AN ENTIRE WORLD of music. And it seems like he didn't get enough credit for how incredible it is. To me it's the best modern videogame soundtrack ever created.

He made full albums of game music, choir music, and catchy open mic country pop versions of the songs, and they all are bangers that soon will be on your spotify or whatever you use. I use youtube premium combined with google play music, split with my brothers the deal is insane, check it out fer sure.

I'll pick 2 highlights from each catagory:

First let's set the mood with the best menu and loading music to have ever graced your city boy ears, and if you are an atheistic city slicker, this will make you want to move to the mountains.

The conventional ambient game music

"Now that the world is ending"

somber, beautiful, endlessly catchy. I drive through the mountains of my hometown Lake Tahoe playing this shit and it is a spiritual experience.



And the second track, "When the morning light Shines in" is more hopeful. If you don't listen till at least 1:20 you personally hurt ma feelins.



The Hope County Choir

Now Dan didn't stop there. He was genuine in his efforts, he needed cult music, and not cheap low rent music. Honest belief music. Shit, I grew up religious and always hated our churches hyms. If we had this kind of music I would have staved off pornography till maybe 13



Good lord this is the best music. GOOD LORD this game doesn't deserve such bangers as this. Here is another that will stick in your head.




Now for the open mic country bar version, or closer to studio versions I guess.

"Help me Faith" again but with a twist



and here is a version of "oh the bliss" which is incredible.





Feel free to add in your personal favorites, I didn't included them all since there are so many.

Here’s a thread I made about FC5 music a bit ago.

no idea what you guys are hearing. stuff like this is so much better:

SotN wandering ghosts


dkc2 stickerbrush symphony


batman streets of desolation


dark souls character creation music

All bangers of course. But Dan Romer's video game country inspired tracks were a revelation, a new genre discovered. I hate country and christian songs and these hit me so deep. What Dan Romer did is more impressive and harder to pull pff than some more fantasy opera or electronic synth hits.

 

[Cashon]

I really liked Far Cry 5. That soundtrack was godtier.

I just finished Far Cry 5 this past weekend. I basically forced myself to finish it. I almost made an LTTP calling it Wasted Potential. You're right, the soundtrack is fantastic, but the game is kind of a mess. It feels like so much of it is driven by AI. Especially the encounter/spawn frequency. Definitely the worst one, in my opinion, despite the great location and interesting concept.

 

[semiconscious]

I like playing Far Cry but that timer already annoys me.

yep. i fucking hate timers (except, of course, for majora's mask!). c'mon, ubi, just let us rescue the family at our own pace if we prefer, & save the timers for bonus mode rewards...

 

[Cashon]

It sounds like their going for a Death Loop/Hades/Returnal style of gameplay.

 

[semiconscious]

It sounds like their going for a Death Loop/Hades/Returnal style of gameplay.

yeah, i agree, but taking an established 'open-world sandbox' franchise, & transforming it to that extent? better they went with either a spin-off or a new franchise. they're introducing a clock into a franchise that's always encouraged exploration. it's basically counter-intuitive...

 

[Roberts]

End of an era.

Snowdrop? Division games were made on it, right? I like that engine

 

[kyussman]

A conspiracy group as the antagonists.......oh do fuck off Ubisoft,you're wasting everyones time and money.

 

[DrCheese]

Yuck, I hate timers. Ruined the dead rising series & I could never get into Majora's mask either.

 

[elmos-acc]

Here’s a thread I made about FC5 music a bit ago.

Great thread. I do not have any nostalgia for FC5, it is pretty recent and I remember not being in a particularly satisfying phase during the time I played it. But listening "When the morning light shines in" hit me right in the feels.

 

[amigastar]

Yuck, I hate timers. Ruined the dead rising series & I could never get into Majora's mask either.

Same, i want to give it another chance because i've heard MM is pretty good.

These would be the ones I would choose. Absolutely Outstanding.

It absolutely deserves to be in the discussion as one of the best ever made. The way the entire soundtrack (even lyrics) support whats going on the game is absolutely excellent work. They were not just "bangers." I can't believe he hasn't been asked to do another soundtrack (though he may be very busy looking at his Wiki).

LOL. Yeah, there is that. I was able to work past that and just enjoy that soundtrack and concept in spite of those glaring flaws. Either way...that Soundtrack is absolutely S-tier in gaming and doesn't get the recognition it deserves because its caught in a Far Cry game.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Bring back the malaria.

 

[Jalucan]

I hope they keep the ability to holster your weapon. It was nice to take in the environment in 6 and not have to constantly worry about enemies attacking.

 

[Mossybrew]

The instant respawn of outposts ruined that game for me.

People like to bring this up but I didn't notice or care about it one bit.

A return to the general feel of FC2 would be great. Greater sense of isolation, danger and chaos. Shit going wrong, weapons malfunctioning, focus on immersion. A timed mission for some new dipshit character to save his family ain't gonna cut it.

 

[Solarstrike]

Doesn't sound like it's set in the Middle Ages, where it should be this time around imo. Or a complete remake of Far Cry 1.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I don’t know if time off hurts or helps far cry series.

 

[crazyjah2003]

Did I miss something? What are they talking about when they say Switch 2?... Speaking of Vapor Hardware so confidently. Queued up for Switch at launch right now a lot would have do be done to get me interested in another Switch.

Wasn’t 6 the lowest rated one thus far?

Yeah I actually didn't like the game back in the day. But I've watched it since and I like the immersion aspects of it. I would like it to be tried again. The world seemed much more alive.
