According to PCGamer.com, TotalBiscuit, and Gamer Headlines' own experience on the matter, it seems that review code for the PC version of Far Cry 4 will not be sent out until the day before the game's official release.
Normally, this situation wouldn't be as concerning, but with this news coming during the same week as Assassin's Cred Unity's review embargo fiasco and Ubisoft’s reported effort to better cater to the gaming community - the entire situation is, to put it frankly, quite alarming.
Ubisoft's latest Far Cry 4 update enables 60 FPS on PS5 after releasing an update earlier for Far Cry New Dawn with similar improvements.
Sony....you're really letting ubisoft out of all all companies to out class you??? Give us the bloondborne 60 fps patch....ffs
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
Everytime someone asks for a bloodborne patch it gets delayed 1 day.
ETA next century
They know it's gonna cost them sales of the inevitable Remake that'll probably come around the PS6 launch.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Stellar Blade comes to mind. This is why buying physical is the way to go.
Far Cry debuted on March 23, 2004, meaning that next week, it will have been 20 years since Jack Carver first washed up on the shore of a tropical paradise teeming with hostile mercenaries.
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.
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
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.
Uh Oh SpaghettiOs

2fps framerate confirmed.
so more "i dont wanna make consoles look more out dated than what they are" huh. bad enough we had to wait for the gtav pc version that would look like the next version. next gen version is nothing but what we would see from the pc version if it would had launched last year. this is sad smh.... stop slowing down pc. big publisher are trying to slow down pc more than anyone. if they want the best get pc if they like consoles get a consoles. its exclusives across the board so if they want the best own them all. its a win win for them since its not drm free so we can play a game we brought on every platform
Relax. They're probably just patching in that 4K optimization code am I right kids? It doesn't matter anyways. If you're buying a Ubisoft game before the review these days then you have it coming.
There are only a few reasons to withold a review copy like they have, and their damage control statement doesn't hold water. I've seen plenty of buggy games get reviewed a second time after a significant patch was released, so they probably arent worried about that. I'm thinking this will probably be a poorly optimized, lousy port.
My hopes of them not ruining the division are quickly fading.
