Far Cry Primal

Stinger88

Have to say I think Far Cry is Ubi's best and dare I say most polished franchise. Still playing FC4 atm. So good!

This looks awesome and I can't wait. Will be interesting without vehicles. Hope it still has some nice set pieces like those daft bits (drug taking) and demonic realms, etc that make FC 3 and 4 so cool. The art is always spectacular!

Looks a bit meh to me, the whole tribal thing and hunting mastadons with prehistoric tools doesn't scream appealing.

I like the primal aspect. That's why I'm so excited about Horizon Zero Dawn (adds primal with new). I may actually check this out

Definitely excited this is finally announced. I've had the pleasure of working on it with a pretty fantastic team of people (Not to mention a few other polycounters!)

Here's another video, and a few screen shots / concept art.

Yaaaa buddy!

Honestly, this looks amazing and I haven't been this excited about a game in a while.

I bought Skyrim to be a Professional Mammoth Hunter (that was a bad plan, I had to fight dragons and viking zombies and stuff instead), and now I finally have a game where I can do that.

This looks sweet!

That second shot down (with the centred mammoth, burning spear man and smilodon) is a remake of another piece of art, isn't it? It looks incredibly familiar.

EDIT:
Maybe it was the Frazetta piece. I feel like there was a painting even more similar to that shot though.

weee

now what kind of tower you need to climb in order to unfog the map? very tall trees?

I'm quite interested in the crafting weapons bit. I wonder if we'll be able to create custom weapons from scavenging parts and I wonder if those weapons will have durability. It'd be cool to hunt animals, skin and bone them for weapon parts, etc. And then have to look after the weapons.

One thing is for sure. The trailer suggests Mammoths are to be hunted and killed, but you know for a fact later in the game we'll be riding them around, kicking tribal ass!

Just another thought, as vehicles are such a huge part of FC, I wonder if other animals could be tamed and used as mounts. Would love a sabertooth killing machine.

Oh yeah, if only it had dinosaurs and apeman..frazetta style

I'm stoked for this, looks great, and it's awesome that they're taking a chance and changing up the formula. Things will have to be so different, I wonder if it'll still "feel" like Far Cry. I'm excited to check it out one way or another.

I didn't care for Far Cry 3 but i really loved Far Cry: Blood Dragon, i didn't care for Far Cry 4, maybe history will repeat it self again ?

Steve, maybe it is reminding you of Suydam's work ?

Very cool stuff all around, the game looks fresh !

I don't know, could be cool, but as of now i hate the colors in this. I hate the desaturation and the color grading, the green is not green enough, and the orange looks horrible.
Everything is off and wrong, also too much fog.
I am getting a Fallout 3/ CoD 4MW chernobyl vibe from this and i don't like it. Feels like radiation poisioning.
Give the Artdirector a hug and a slap and tell him:
Far Cry needs more vibrant abd more beautiful colors!
Our Ancestors where definatly 100x times more high on life (and other stuff) than we dulled domesticated Industry-humans.
Better physis and better perception = more colors.

Steve Schulze

Put side by side, it's not hard to see where they got the inspiration for those colours. I kinda wish they'd taken the next logical step and done a painterly, Dishonoured art style.

Fuiosg

I kind of agree with the other guy. Frazetta despite his muted palette always seemed fairly colorful to me, its actually an important aspect of why his compositions make so much sense.

kanga

Really first class work!

It's actually looks very fresh. Not many, if any, AAA games tackle with this prehistoric theme.
