Ubisoft Dev Admits That Far Cry 4 Suffered from Cross-Generation Development Decisions

DSOGaming writes: "At this year’s GDC, Stephen McAuley, Technical Lead at Ubisoft Montreal, talked about the challenges of creating the world of Far Cry 4. During his talk, Stephen admitted that Far Cry 4’s cross-generation development had a negative impact on Ubisoft’s decisions. In other words, the game suffered from its cross-generation development, something most of us already – pretty much – assumed."

What about Unity?

That game wasn't cross gen and it had plenty of problems.

bouzebbal4127d ago

i just see that as a way to hype and tease the next far cry.

freshslicepizza4127d ago

these games suffer from the same illness, trying to ship products on time instead of delaying them until they are as good as possible. you can also ship games on cross gen platforms without issues. it's called separate development teams.

pecorre4127d ago

Problems =/= development decisions

MRMagoo1234127d ago

It suffered from ubisoftitus, a rare medical condition that is passed on from each ubisoft game to the next whilst becoming more virulent.

Phoenix764127d ago

Glad that haven't started an TV ad appeal.

Pls donate just £50 every few months so we can help keep this terrible condition going all the way through to the next gen of consoles. Thank you. Lmao

Roccetarius4127d ago

Something any knowledgeable gamer would've known already. But even then, the new machines are causing compromises to potential as well.

kstap334127d ago

I've had no issues with Far Cry 4. The game looks and runs great on my Xbox one. Viewing the game clips on my Surface look spectacular.

BC_Master_Haze4127d ago

Kstahp. I don't think you get what they're saying, yes the game plays well on your XB1 and looks pretty good, but it could have looked better, possibly played better and had a lot of new features rather than being a cut and paste of far cry 3 due to the technical restraints of last generation.

ThunderPulse4127d ago

Which division of MS pays you to advertise the Surface?

kstap334127d ago

I wish. Just staying a fact.

Omar914127d ago

I just recently bought far cry 4 (first far cry game ever) and its amazing. Had no idea what i was missing. But yeah the game runs perfect so far

late but still a good move, oobi

InUrFoxHole423d ago

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

OhReginald423d ago

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

dantesparda423d 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

Profchaos423d ago

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

ETA next century

I_am_Batman422d ago

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

raWfodog423d ago

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

P_Bomb423d ago

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

Yi-Long423d 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_Scum447d 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.

B5R447d 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.

Kassanova07447d ago (Edited 447d 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 .

-Foxtrot834d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor834d 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.

Profchaos834d 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

Demetrius834d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger88834d ago (Edited 834d 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.
