There are plenty of links around, mostly just rehash of the same gossip.

If FC4 is going to have mushie trips and potion-induced hallucinations, I don't think I'll be a fan. But then, FC3 sort of grew on me after a while. I was one of the first members here to diss it and nearly gave up on it, now I'm one of the last ones here still playing it :-() I play more Civ V than FC3 though and have done all along, so it will have to be something extra-special to strip Civ of its "fragger's favourite" status.

We'll see.

IF it materialises I am likely to get it for tradition's sake because I played FC1, FC2 and FC3 so far. But I'm concerned about it being a UBI title.

There is that, too :-\\

Like a kid, I'm forever hopeful

There were some really good parts of FC3, mostly everything except the story missions, lol. Thinking of new and creative ways to mess with the guys at an outpost, mostly.

I'll probably get FC4 if it ever shows up, just to see what it's about. I can deal with yetis though let's hope they are few and far between. Riding a snowmobile off Mt Everest would be cool though.

So true, and I too will likely get the game as long as it is visually appealing, and is open world.  Who knows; we might become pleasantly surprised

I still enjoy FC3, there is a lot of fun to be had - as D_B says, outside the story missions, which I ignore once I get to the south island and get the wingsuit. And I'm still playing vanilla, no mods and no cheats.

I too will probably get FC4 if or when it appears.

Oh yeah, any yetis had better shoot lightning from their fingers and shrug off explosions  >:D

 :-D :-X :)

Hope they don't make same mistakes that they did on FC3, it was just too damn easy.
Also those damn guns didn't have any recoil what so ever.

not to mention the maximum linearity of the main missions. Oh and those "friends" -- if there are any characters like those, I want an option to massacre all of them. :-()

That's what missions are usually, pick up something from place A, then head for place B and leave it there, then head for place C and your done.
That's essentially what missions are about, I think you would like to have tasks that you need to do for the story to advance.

Though, running around, following a truck is just stupid and makes at least me, feel like a glorified stalker.

FC2 was different by design. It was more like, "kill X" or "blow up Y" -- that's all. How you wanted to do it, entirely your choice. :)

I'm sure I'll get it, but will not hold high expectations after what they did with fc3

I'll get it, too, not expecting anything (good) (  :-() )

I think that the villain in the pink suit looks like Anders Breivik. Not a good idea to if you ask me...

Yep, that wouldn't be in good taste  :-\\

That's supposed to be a Yeti? It looks more like that thing from Cloverfield, scaled down ????

Not holding out much hope for FC4 at this stage, from what I've seen thus far. Riding an elephant sounds interesting but kinda dull (unless you can make it charge), a bit like going on a kiddie ride at the zoo.

Take us back to Africa, Ubi! I don't want to go to the Himalayas, it's too freaking cold there :-\\

maybe we can throw one another to death with crushed ice balls or try to bury one another using massive avalanches :-()

Some gameplay material from the E3, that started today.

Far Cry 4 Gameplay (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnnkZSc3Z9c#ws) Far Cry 4 Gameplay Demo (E3 2014) (PS4) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R81xOMybdFg#ws)

If you go to the other video linked there the actual game footage looks interesting. We shall see, though, how linear the missions are.

agree, looks cool. And co-op is there, too  :-X However, indeed, how linear will it be?

Oh man the description is not looking good. I wonder how I'll get around in the walker. Skis maybe? Do Yetis like OLD people or are they OLD people that have retired to the area?Confusing.  :-D

 :-D

After watching the videos I am really looking forward. The mountaineous scenario looks way more interesting than the sunny islands. Also I like the cool tools like the grappling hook. Would be nice if it focused a little bit more on the survival aspect like snowstorms and such. Falling rocks are in already. The animal bait could also be a cool feature. The drive by shooting and the driving takedown are also very good ideas - and what is more thrilling than racing along these dangerous cliffs with your car? I smell a bunch of hilarious stunt-videos already  :-D

Plus you wing suit fans look like you'll have a lot of fun terrain to fly around. I mean, all that looks good, let's just hope they don't screw up the campaign missions, and make them where you walk into a temple or something and it becomes a corridor shooter. If I wanted that, I'd play Wolfenstein New order. Oh wait, I am :-) lol

 :-D

I recall the first images and whatnot about FC2, like that guy whipping out his watch which later in the release version was gone, turned into an alarm clock only available next to a bed. Or, they described the best buddy thingy as something you had to earn, like, it's not easy to make friends, but if you succeed, they'll come (on their own) to your rescue and drag you out of danger.. in the retail version, you couldn't even avoid them. I don't recall anything of the re-release time of FC3, maybe because I thought I wouldn't play it at all, until a friend of mine (Uzi) convinced me the day it was released that it was actually cool (he was one of the first to buy and play it) so I just trusted his judgement and got it the day it was released. But now, FC4, reminds me of the time before FC2 was released. Let's see how much of what they promised and showed us will actually be in the final version..

Wait and see. :)

I recall that I saw the E3 video of FC3 and it was the story mission where you end up in the waterhole, with a stone on your feet. And actually it was exactly as in the video. Of course the missions are more scripted than the openworldgameplay. Maybe the graphic looked better. But FC2 was more different at last than it was presented in the previews. I also think FC4 will be much like what we saw in the video because FC4 is very similar to FC 3. Whereas there are bigger differences between FC2 and FC 3.

Yes, I hope that they'll stick to the stuff they showed. However, I expect lots of epic wingsuit-related faceplant stories  :-()

Hmm I'm not a wingsuit fan. In FC3 I only used it when I was accidentally falling down a mountain  :-D

Checking those previews a few things spring to mind:

"Oh, we've got a new definition of insanity!" :-D

"Look at our new invention; Mountains!!! New we can script the living daylight out if those story missions!!"  8)

"Look at that selfy, is that Jason Brody again?" :-\\

"Rocks and snow, rocks and snow... You know what you get when you mix these two? Cold hands!!!!" :angel:

 :-D :-D

I found this entertaining, and I agree with most of what's said in it:

http://www.twitch.tv/eatmydiction1/b/541247465 (http://www.twitch.tv/eatmydiction1/b/541247465)

looks fun  :-()

I always wished that I could have fired grenades or dropped bombs from the hang gliders in FC3 as I flew over the bad guys. Looks like you can in FC4, from a gyrocopter. Cool :-X The elephant attack was pretty funny. I liked how picked up a bad guy with its trunk and threw him aside :-()

Bad guys who can climb ladders should make for some tougher stealth approaches. I like the grappling hook idea too.

This game might have some promise.

It does look interesting.  There was something in the way the one developer spoke of the grapple when he introduced it that made me wonder if it could also be used to pull an enemy off a high ledge.  That would be sweet.  >:D

As badly as I was burned by UBI and Gamestop on the pre-purchase content for FC3 and AC3 (because PC versions of those games weren't let in on the deal) there is no way I will ever preorder another UBI game.  Especially not from Gamestop.  I think I'll hang back and allow the inevitable early bug fixes that plague UBI games to be worked out and applied before attempting the Himalayas.

It would be funny if it weren't so annoying but it seems to me the bugs that occur early on with the UPlay Updater are worse than anything I've run into in one of the games.

Uplay early, Upay more ::)

If the game comes out with no updater bugs and requires no post-release patching then I'll know it's just a blissful dream I'm having.

 :-()

My UPlay account signature happens to be "Fix the cocked up AC3 updater."

they might continue taking their own time.. so it could as well be, "FIX bugs the moment you learn about them" :-()

just by the way, AC4BlackFlag is so bloody bugged..  :D great game, still. That's what angers me, they DO make great games so why the F... don't they make them neat and proper? Would be so much better..  :(

Speaking of blissful dreams... :-D

I like your new avi, Art :-X That would be Blackbeard, would it not?

ta mate, and it would indeed, wouldn't it  :-()

 :)

I haven't played the game, but I knew about how in reality Blackbeard had a penchant for going into a fight with flaming tapers around his face to freak out his enemies.

The character in your avatar could be none other :-()

true, at least wiki says so  ^-^

Is it really full of bugs? The AC series is actually very bugfree. But I didn't read any specific reviews. I only saw that it got very positive reviews.

well..

There was a mission goal, "exit the jungle," which I did, but it wouldn't trigger the next goal (kill the captain) so I had to guess what it was and how to do it and was really lucky I managed to run through ever spawning hordes of enemies, find that captain without any marker and kill him.

There was a mission goal to hire dancers to distract guards and enter a fort. It cost 150 Reales and I didn't have much money. It didn't w@&k so well so I reloaded from the only Checkpoint and hired another crew. I ended up spending 900R that were actually missing from my current amount of money DESPITE reloading from checkpoint. So, you do start over yet the money isn't reset.. what the hell?

There was a mission that required me to sink a Spanish fleet yet there was no fleet. I was looking around for an hour, travelling all across the map. The next day, when I fired up the game, the mission was still on (no way of resetting it) but miraculously, the fleet was right ahead of me.

I managed to board a level 49 man o' war with 80 cargo, the first and only one I acquired so far, which was quite an achievement at that time, and I needed it for the last routes with large cargo shipments. I of course chose to add it to my Kenway's Fleet, yet I could not access it. If you have a specific setup, like all ships are on a mission, you can't salvage a ship from your fleet to make room for a new one, so instead you have to salvage the ship you wanted to add. I couldn't go back, couldn't go forth, I was actually forced to give up on that ship I had fought for so hard. Very sloppy programming and game design, they didn't think it through. It cost me a lot of time in many aspects and was extremely annoying.

Boarding ships is at times too much for the game to w@&k properly with regards to you defending yourself (as in counter attacks) -- it doesn't realise which enemy is attacking or even that an enemy is attacking, you get slashed despite hitting E like a madman. If one man of your crew stands between you and an enemy, the enemy may attack you while you can't counter his attack nor does an attack w@&k (in order not to hit your own guy) and at times your character lunges towards someone you don't see, out of your monitor's peripheral, and you wonder where you are and what you're doing, meanwhile you get attacked and slashed to bits without being able to react properly. So, I actually hate fighting on deck of an enemy ship because there is always a lot of random stuff going on.

And here just a few of the obvious bugs.

no idea, but I keep having those.

[smg id=7131 type=preview align=center caption="AC4BF trapped inside"]

You failed to board the ship ^-^
Or better, the ship boarded you :laugh:

you're looking at my own ship. I couldn't leave it. The one to board was right next to it (left hand side) I ended up quitting to main menu and restart, lost the Man o' War and the crew who died tried to board without me was lost, too (had them replaced which again cost time and money) :D

edit: died to board? that looked wrong.. "tried" was what I meant, and that they "died" afterwards was indeed the result  ;)

I thought maybe you had a serious problem with your bilge pump :-()

A bilge pump at UBI?  ???

No way!  They'd lose about two thirds of their recycled development content.  :-D

 :-D + :-D

 :laugh:

Thanks to FC4, I'm thinking about going back to gaming  :)

Though it's too early to conclude, but after watching those videos, I have a feeling that FC4 will be basically like its predecessor i.e. extremely linear story missions and has some outposts that can be attacked in various ways. Ubi clearly is very happy with the warm reception from both critics and gamers, therefore I argue it's very unlikely that they will change much of the formula that brought much commercial as well as critical success.

likely, yes

Excellent observation  :-X :-D

Man, I love that shotgun

I'm looking forward to the silenced AS50  >:D

Or the silenced version of the signature sniper rifle in FC3  :)

Just read a short article, in which Alex Hutchinson director of FC4 (he was responsible for Azz Creed 3) said the map of FC4 is not bigger than FC3's but they're aiming to make it denser.

I thought FC3's map was a pretty good size for the type of game it is.

it was acceptable.  :-D

It would be nice if they could drop the "north and south" concept for the map and allow the player access to the whole thing right from the start. Maybe they will with this one, we'll see, but something tells me they won't.

I don't know why they keep sticking with the idea of locking half the map away until the player reaches a certain point in the story. There are many other open-world games that let you have access to the whole map right from the beginning.

OK, so eventually we will have to "transcend the depths" of our own mind so we may look to "our past for guidance," that means the "spiritual world of Shangri-La," in which "the rules of reality don't apply" and we have a "mythical tiger" that fights alongside us ??? :D :'( -- just like those drug-induced sequences of FC3 and just what we all needed.

I still think it's going to be a FC3.1 and I don't think they improved it in the aspects we'd like to see; different approaches in missions; true local atmosphere; some realism;  no key-mash-sections; good voice acting....
I'm afraid that, although it will be a nice instalment again, it will keep moving towards young, 16 year old, gamepad-freaks (Sorry Art >:D) instead of mature entertainment :-\\

But I also remember last time when most of us, including me, were buggering about the bad things in FC3 and no one seemed to actually buy FC3, and in the end we all did and all have had a lot of fun with it. So I'll just stop criticizing the previews and will wait until the result is tested by real confident reviewers ;)

the fun in FC3 was everywhere else but in those drugged dream world, boss fights and linear story missions.

Hearing those words made me sick   :D

same. Unfortunately so. :)

By the way, the gamescom is not far from where I live, I could literally walk over there but geez, there are too many weirdos and too many people in general, and it's never the same for a regular visitor as it is for someone with whatever "professional" background and, let's say, a golden key to those rooms the really interesting stuff is being shown to something like a "select audience" -- so I am not going to waste my time in and my money on a tin of sardines called a games fair.  ;)

Interesting videos, but the boss-like sequences like in FC3 are a turn-off for me.  I'm definitely purchasing the game, but I'm not exactly sure if I'll like it any better than FC3, which for me was a bit of a let-down.

I agree with all of you. More mythical nonsense... Ptah. I see rigidly linear story missions, overly-long cut scenes and sucky boss fights. More pandering to the Call of Duty crowd :angry-new:

I will get the game, and it might even be fun - in places and for a while, at least - but I suspect it'll be another poor runner-up to the excellence of FC2.

Quote from: Art Blade on August 13, 2014, 01:53:07 PM

Well, what I'm hearing is: "This game looks like it sucks, but I'm going to buy it anyway"

But, to paraphrase W.C. Fields, or was it Mark Twain? "Far Cry 4 is the worst game ever, except for all the other games out there"

Yeah, I'll be buying it too most likely.

after all that nonsense about FC4, which UBI currently offers to pre-order just the same as they do with upcoming AC:unity, I decided to pre-order AC:unity. That series at least has improved a lot and the online experience with AC4BF has been great. I'll wait with my decision regarding FC4, however. It's entirely possible that I'll get it if and when there's a special offer after release.

So true.  Although I was just getting into gaming at that time, what interested me the most was the 50x50 square kilometer world in which you could go anywhere.  I could be mistaken, but I got the feeling at the time that the developers were newly into the concept of "open world", and thereby made it feel "real" with none of the bosses, magic, and other foolery that I personally don't give a rat's a$$ about.

Now, just as in just about all other commercial ventures, they knuckle down to the desires of the greatest part of the population, which unfortunately is not us old openworldgamers

"Eat s#!t. Over one billion flies can't be wrong."

:-X :laugh:

I can run it. Triple 10 in the results ^-^

I'm in, except for maybe the graphics department (currently running GeForce GT 545). May have to upgrade... :-\\

Yeah I should have no problems, though I forget whether I have a gforce 600 or 700 series, and no idea what model after that. I know it has 4GB memory though.

One thing I can't stand is web sites that auto-play videos, most annoying. If I want to watch the video, I'll hit the button, thank you very much. Just so they can get more views on their adverts.

Some coop game play on the PS4.  Shows the graphics quality quite nicely

Reminds me of the environment of FC3.  Game play appears to be much the same as well

yes. That guy made me cringe.. shoots with the mounted gun while his buddies walk towards his target, into his line of fire and rather than stopping, he keeps firing and of course, kills that friendly girl. Or, just a few feet away from a car, he shoots it on fire and of course it blew up and of course it took him out, too. And.. and.. and.. holy crap, as if he had never played a shooter. And his movements were.. totally off. What the hell, that isn't exactly a good advertisement.

I agree - poor advertising.  I will probably get the game, but if AC5 comes out first, FC4 will likely be put on the back burner until I'm tired of AC5.  It is just too much like FC3 in appearance, and I dread the idea of another "boss" encounter (I really hate those things - totally takes the immersion out of the game)

I'm with you there, PZ. Even more strict: I don't even think about buying it, except there is a special offer, bargain bin kind of thing.  :-D

You're stimulating bad old memories that I thought I had repressed.  I just now remembered that ridiculous knife fight near the end.  That was even worse for me than the boss fight.

yep.. both of which take the fun out of the game. I think boss fights are something from and for the 1980s. We don't need that any more.

Totally, totally agree guys. And you know how I feel about boss fights ;)

That was some of the worst co-opping I think I've ever seen. I sure wouldn't want to play with that guy. With a teammate like him, who needs enemies? Even his weapon aiming sucked ::)

Moronic!  ????

There's a guy who fails to grasp the concept of cooperation. And self-preservation as well.  :-() . He managed to blow up all vehicles around him and die in two minutes. If it wasn't for his buddy, who was set on fire by him in the process of screwing up real bad, he would become statistic as well!

As for the gameplay, I could swear it is just a FC3 coop map and not anything new.  :-\\

yep, a moron :-D it's times like those when you're on a team like that, that you'd wish to be able to kill your own team mate without anyone noticing just so he wouldn't f@#k up the whole mission for the rest of the team. >:D

I just checked STEAM and FC4 is due next week... so my big question is:

This is it?  ????

Are they really releasing another title of this franchise that looks excatly the same as the previous one? Nothing actually seems to be an improvement... graphics and game play are all the same. Same weapons, same visual, same mechanics... even the Himalayas setting looks like the islands in FC3.

Promotional videos show a few different weapons (I think I saw a mortar), knife throwing, that clumsy gyrocopter but it all seems to be far from a "new" game release... as I posted here, it seems like a different co-op map for the same FC3 game.

Are they simply compying + pasting the same game on a new terrain model with a few textures and colors edited?  ????

That's what it looks like to me.  I'm going to wait for more game play videos (from real life gamers) before I invest in this one.  Besides, AC:5 is going to keep me busy for a while  >:D

JRD, I had about the same thoughts (looks like a DLC for or "part3" of FC3) so I am not going to buy it unless they come up with a proper price dump.

I wonder what will have happened with the fake mountains in FC3 when they started copy-pasting ::)

A proper price dump will indeed make me check it out probably ;)
