Leaks regarding the plot of Far Cry 7 have hinted at new characters and a New England setting.
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.
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.
While Ubisoft may be taking a risk with one rumored Far Cry 7 mechanic, it needs to pay dividends even if players fail in the game.
You know what the problem is with Ubisoft? They ran their big IPs into the ground. I should be excited about a Far Cry 7, but it just feels like the same old Turkey Sandwich. I don’t want to knock it before seeing anything, I hadn’t been interested in an Ass Creed game until Shadows was shown, but whenever they announce a new Ass Creed, a new Ghost Recon, and new Far Cry, etc., it’s just impossible for me to really get hyped.
yeah
even for me, who latched onto this franchise longer than a lot of people
6 was pretty dull and it's hard to care
Last FarCry I sorta got hyped for was 4 (FC2 is still goat, followed by FC3)
FC5 felt too bloated and FC6 felt like Just Cause in first person with a pet crocodile
ngl, I am a bit eager to see what FC7's about (not the time gimmick but the other stuffs). Tom Henderson's been hyping it. He aint that fake.
GhostRecon Breakpoint felt like vomit at some points but reading all the rumors about GR going old-school for next one also has my interest peaked a little bit.
And the recent AC Shadows combat and parkour gameplay videos are surprisingly decent tho, ngl

i agree. I remember watching tech demos being super hyped about assasins creed 2 and the farcry map editor etc.
today i feel nothing for ubisoft. wheres the originality, wheres the innovation, wheres the fun...
ubisoft will never get my money every again.
Ya, their games are not as fun as they used to be, which is a shame, because I do appreciate their efforts of keep making single player games.
Yeah I was actually a fan of watch dogs it was never GTA level but it didn't need to be and then 3 came out as a busted experiment was totally garbage and they shelved the franchise as a result claiming it's got no fan interest it would have plenty of interest if they didn't throw in their experimental play as anyone crap that was never going to work
Agreed, my issue with Assassins Creed is that on the PS3, it blew up my PS3 Fat 60gb, it took Sony 5 months to warranty it then as soon as I put it back in to play it blew up my second PS3 (actually caught fire on both of my PS3's). Then on my PS4 I forgot the first AC to come out on the PS4, I had bought that one, and it bricked my PS4. So I vowed to never buy another AC game again. Maybe i'm just cursed LOL.
As far as FC, FC was an amazing game, but the storylines aren't intriguing anymore. It's only so many times you can have the same storyline arch. Also the voice acting isn't that good. I believe FC3 was the last good FC. I've bought all of the others except the one with the cave people and they were all flat no depth.
Ghost Recon, I'm not going to lie, I didn't like breakpoint when it first came out, but after they did all of the updates to it, the game became my favorite military game (I managed to platinum it).
I think the issue with Ubisoft games (including the crew) is that they make these super larger games that aren't immersive. You don't feel connected to the world the same way you feel connected to San Andreas, Vice City or Liberty City. You don't feel connected to the characters or the characters story. You just feel like you're in a world doing things.
The division 2, for myself is following the Ubisoft formula as well. The Division was amazing, The Division II I struggled getting through it. I just didn't care about the storyline, characters, the world, anything.
It's like they try to fool us with a massive world, to distract us from the lack of depth of storyline, voice acting, gameplay mechanics etc.
If they would allow a coapp player to actually go wherever they want....then they would get paid.
I doubt the game will just end when the timer runs out. I'm sure it will continue without limits but will alter the story and change the ending.
Ubisoft has to learn it's half way to ps6/next xbox gen, make a thoroughly made gem already. Sheesh they rush way too much

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.
This just sounds like Far Cry 5.5
I hope they actually try with this one instead of repeatedly just Frankensteining Fc3s corpse into something "new" like literally every entry since 3
May work if it has a Black lead...
