The classic Skill Tree, new gameplay mechanics, Fortresses and better side content are just some things we'd like to see in the sequel.
Early screenshots from Ubisoft's next first-person shooter, Far Cry 7, have allegedly been leaked via a datamine of XDefiant.
XDefiant....?
I guess that report that FC7 would be more multiplayer focused is unfortunately accurate, and therefore will likely be a slopfest....
I wasn't expecting a masterpiece because Far Cry has been on a slow decline in quality, but this certainly won't be the secret sauce.
You just know the more time they spend on the multiplayer, the worse the single player campaign is going to end up being. I've platinumed every FarCry, but my hopes for this entry is at an all time low.
I think its time that Far Cry had a game with multiple biomes. Desert, jungle, urban, tropical, snow etc.
I like the Far Cry games for the SP experience. With them turning it into a MP shooter it just means I don’t really care for this one at all.
Leaks regarding the plot of Far Cry 7 have hinted at new characters and a New England setting.
I'll be happy if they just ground it a little more like 5 did. I don't want Just Cause-like rocket backpacks.
New England? Sounds boring aesthetically. Still there are soo many better settings to choose from. The Alps, the Andes, Australia, and so much more in Asia and Africa.
I'm sure there are beautiful things but I live in the same type of environment and I can tell you it's nowhere near some of the locations I mentioned, not to mention there's a lack of diversity. They've done Montana which has almost the same environments except bigger and better.
Yeah can imagine feel like we already got a US game they should move the franchise somewhere else
Edit I originally missed the new and I thought it was just England which I was equally like meh about
As an Aussie though I don't think Australia would make all that good a spot for a far cry game it'd have to be entirely outback based or bushland which would need to be exaggerated to buggery and blended which isn't something they typically do in the franchise
I think exaggerating and blending isn't a big deal if it's in favour of environmental diversity, just takes creativity. They didn't really do central cities before until Far cry 6, and didn't do ancient stone age until Primal. No reason to restrict themselves to what's "typical" especially if it's their chance to reboot the franchise anyway. You have dry outback environments, mountains, beaches, rainforest, and such diverse wildlife which is a big part of Far cry. They could even split it over 3 locations and include Tanzania and New Zealand. Anything is better than New England.
It's even in the title 🤣 like Far Cry is literally referring to the premise that you're supposed to be in a dangerous situation a FAR CRY from anything safe or familiar and you have to adapt. New England is like super tame and very familiar as it's not really distinct in any way
That's what I was thinking. I was hoping for something like Australia, Spain, or Portugal.
I hope they actually try with this one instead of repeatedly just Frankensteining Fc3s corpse into something "new" like literally every entry since 3
The next Far Cry game has been the subject of speculation, and its predecessor makes a solid argument for full-blown third-person.
Well every mainline FC is kinda its own thing ... so reboot for this franchise makes less sense.
And I also support the every 3-4 years idea for both AC and FC. And that's kinda exactly the situation now for FC.
FC6 came out in 2021. If we aren't counting 2023's Avatar (lol, obvs), then even if FC7 comes out in 2025, there's still minimum 4 years gap between the mainline releases. Hope it stays that way i.e.
FC6 got no spin-off like FC3, 4, 5.
It’s crazy that they take off that long for far cry and it still feels like a reskin. I haven’t felt real innovation in that series since 3. Every assassins creed has felt bloated now and the only one in recent memory that wasn’t was mirage but that one felt pretty boring to me as well since it was the exact same formula from the others. I wish they could make climbing feel new again like it felt in the very first creed game
I said this about Halo. They should have made a 3rd person Halo because I never felt like the badass they portrayed master Chief to be playing through his eyes. I would've loved to have seen the CQC, cover shots, ground pound, and stealth kills from a 3rd person perspective. When you played as Marcus Fenix, you felt that shit. You saw what a bad mf he was.
I don’t want third person. I’d like a far cry in a frozen third world New York with sort of the tone of the division.
Some IPs are defined by the vision perspective and FC is one of them.
Plus, difference/uniqueness will diminish between FC and AC(within Ubi umbrella, minus guns) or Division or Just Cause or even like Days Gone.
Plus, FC is one of the few first-person IPs at Ubi. They already converted Ghost Recon to 3rd Person.
And Wildlands & Breakpoint were Ubi's 3rd person Far Cry(s), lol.
I'd love to see them tone down the annoying animal crap
Can't walk from 30 seconds without a dog biting me
Can't swim for 5 seconds without a shark
Then you turn to deal with them and they run around and away a bit
Hate it
Stop copy pasting fc3 and start over, you've milked that to dust bro
I’d love to see the return of Cry Engine.
farcry 1 was innovated. we used to system link with the custom maps. 8 people with OG xbone
Less is more give it a break.
