Will Far Cry 4 redeem Ubisoft?

MWEB GameZone writes: "Ubisoft has made a revolutionary mess of the Assassins Creed: Unity launch. Just like Watch_Dogs, Unity was hyped up beyond belief, yet failed to deliver. Far Cry 4 might just be Ubisoft’s last chance at redemption, as failing to deliver again will likely cause the community to give up on Ubisoft games. Thankfully, Far Cry 4 looks amazing.

Here's everything you can expect from Far Cry 4."

DesVader4198d ago

You can certainly bet on the fact that Ubisoft execs are crossing fingers. FC4 so far looks good, but I think there will be quite a few people holding off now with pre-orders...once bitten twice shy.

Sillicur4198d ago

Exactly what i was thinking.

I will myself hold off on pre-ordering the game, just because i have been burnt by Ubisoft before :(

Army_of_Darkness4198d ago (Edited 4198d ago )

We'll get a good idea of what's up with this game once we see an "embargo" before release.

My bet is that this game is gonna be 900p @stutter frames per second.

Angeljuice4198d ago

To be fair though, there were a lot of reports leaking out about Unity's poor performance for months prior to release, as far as I'm aware this is not the case for Far Cry 4.

Here's hoping.

HanCilliers4198d ago

Gamers should really be careful to still do pre-orders

lord zaid4198d ago

Except that the gamer community has shown they are too willing to put up with shenanigans. We have a chance here. Let's hope we don't squander it.

Finch4198d ago

I think the down fall for Farcry if there is one, is going to be with the map editor. So far the silence from UBI is not good on it and all is pointing to NO MP map editor maps.

I already Pre ordered Digitally and starting to regret doing so now known the editor might be useless. Kind of wishing there was a cancel option until I know more.

Maybe. There's too much of Far Cry 3 in there for it to be innovative. I did however enjoy FC3 though...

HanCilliers4198d ago

Same mechanics, just with more bling ;)

Sillicur4198d ago

Far Cry 4 looks so good and i have never really been dissapointed with a FC game before.

Lets hope Ubisoft has a smooth launch this time!

crashtestnl4198d ago

Watch dogs was not so bad I think.

Sillicur4198d ago

Compared to what they advertised it was wont you say? The hype surrounding the game was insane!

late but still a good move, oobi

InUrFoxHole377d ago

Seriously, it's great to see devs add things to older games.

OhReginald378d ago

Sony....you're really letting ubisoft out of all all companies to out class you??? Give us the bloondborne 60 fps patch....ffs

dantesparda378d ago

I second this (Bloodborne 60fps) plus damn, Ubisoft, you're doing great but now the last thing I want youi to do is mae Far Cry Primal 60fps and AC Unity

Profchaos377d ago

Everytime someone asks for a bloodborne patch it gets delayed 1 day.

ETA next century

I_am_Batman377d ago

They know it's gonna cost them sales of the inevitable Remake that'll probably come around the PS6 launch.

raWfodog378d ago

Good news for when, or If, I ever play it. It’s waaay down on my backlog list lol.

P_Bomb378d ago

I like these 60fps patches. Hoping they’ll do Ghost Recon Wildlands someday.

Yi-Long377d ago

Kudos to Ubisoft for once again going back to older titles and then offering a nice upgrade for free. I know the company gets a lot of criticism, in quite a few cases understandable and justified, but in this area of contintued post-launch support for their SP games, they deserve some credit.

Ubisoft Removes Nudity in Silent Far Cry 4 Update (New Info: Changes Reverted)

Update: Ubisoft has acknowledged that the Japanese version of the game, which includes regional censorship, was mistakenly released globally. The company says it has reverted these changes in the game's worldwide branch.

Ubisoft has quietly removed nudity from Far Cry 4 in a recent update, sparking speculation about Tencent’s growing influence on the publisher.

You can murder, mame, and viciously attack people, but anything that deals with showing a body in a natural state whether for titillation or narrative, is some truly terrible thing. We are so weird with our puritan thought process. Feed our bloodlust and fuel our enjoyment for entertainment of simulating acts of harm and murder, but god forbid you see digitized TnA. It will never make sense to me.

Rebel_Scum402d ago

tbh even if they did remove it, it doesnt matter. I dont even remember when there was nudity in the game. If it was there it was so inconsequential.

B5R401d ago

Agreed. It absolutely makes no sense

Also, even though Ubisoft reverted the changes that removed nudity, there's the bigger issue of developers being able to make large changes to the game you paid for whenever they want.

Kassanova07401d ago (Edited 401d ago )

Stellar Blade comes to mind. This is why buying physical is the way to go.

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

-Foxtrot789d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor788d 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.

Profchaos789d 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

Demetrius789d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger88788d ago (Edited 788d 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.
