it bears WAY too much resemblance to FC3. Watching 3/4 of that vid already bored me enough to just stop, I'm far from excited.
Same :-\\
I will likely get it anyway just to play something different and open world, but I'm going to wait to see what kind of stupid boss mission or other foolishness is in the game before I take the plunge.
The one thing I saw that I found interesting is the gyrocopter.
yep, and the guy underestimating (not to say ignoring) the rotor blade span when he tried to land on a catwalk on a tower. :D :laugh:
I have to say that the gyro is the only thing in this version that piqued my interest.
yes, agree.
I was thinking FC4 looks like something I'd have enjoyed as a 3rd part of the FC3 world map. That would have been cool. Like, finish off that bitch on that Hoyt island, whatever, and leave the island because that main badass character of FC4 is they guy to whom Hoyt sold those "slaves," like actually your friends ended up in his possession. So your reason to end up in that Tibetan area would be to free your friends and finish off that bitch-a$$ punk. That gyro would have been something sweet you only unlock there, that sort of thing. Actually, FC4 could have been a massive DLC for FC3. Would have fit right into the game feeling. I wouldn't have minded that, as it looks just like a change of location.
Indeed; I'll be watching more game play videos before I decide
damn it, I was still editing. Please read my previous post again :-D
hmmm... maybe FC4 is a ramped up DLC for FC3. That way, not much w@&k for Ubi, and they call it a new game.
By the looks of it, they created a new map and new buildings and the gyro. The rest of the mechanics seem to be the same as in FC3.
That's the conclusion after seeing the first announcements for the game. I will only buy it from the bargain bins, and it really got to be a Steaming offer :-D
I am really hoping for some dev to accidentally create a FC2.1
Nexor, I know that you wanted FC4 to become what FC2 used to be, with regards to OWG -- something I'm sure everyone here would have loved. But it seems unlikely now, the more we learn about FC4. What I'd like to know, what do you think about FC4 now, having watched those videos?
I know what I think - same as you guys. Very little that's new or innovative, a FC3 re-hash.
Looks like an extension of FC3, don't know if I'll be in a hurry to buy it :-\\
It is sad times for us oldster Far Cry fans - the game appears to be more removed from our beloved FC2 with each new version. :-\\
*sigh*
Honestly, I believe the new FC 2 will be of a total different brand. There were moments when I was playing DayZ that made me think this was about to become our new FC 2. Problem was the lack of choice to play online or not, and the damn cheaters. Without these two downers, I believe it was about to suck us old chaps into a remarkable new adventure. :-\\
But there will be a true sequel. I'm sure. As long as there's devs creating things like Dear Esther (http://www.openworldgames.org/owg/forums/index.php?topic=2711.msg50126#msg50126) there's hope ^-^
Although I never played Dear Esther, I know it because I watched an entire playthrough. It sure is a remarkable piece in the gaming universe but then again, it also lacked something called replay value. FC2 has even me replay it over and over again ever since it was released, some five years in a row now. There have been few games with that quality. We'll just have to wait and see. But I bet it won't be FC4.
I think we can count on that.
I can see only one solution, we all will have to start a new FC2 game :-D
:-D
Some of us already have...
I'm one of them ;D
so am I ;D
I wasn't suggesting Dear Esther to be the new thing. I mean the creativity curiosity in it is what is required to develop something as astonishing and valuable as FC2.
it's about being original. Both games are.

Or worst... ??? You see, FC2 is completely different from the original FC and FC3 is even more distant from the original and bears little resemblance with FC2. Now it seems like Ubi is trying to get the right formula, the correct recipe for a franchise and they might have found it, or what they think the majority of CoD, idiotic "action" addicted, 12 y.o. fan boys want after watching their Saturday morning cartoons with a bowl of a sugar bomb cereal.
I was hoping for something different... maybe good, maybe not, but different from FC3. :-(
Let's pray we don't have to watch our all time favorite game be turned into a zombie! :-\\

I think you hit the nail on the head - that explains the drug induced haze and lame boss missions in FC3 :D
Yeah, I hated all that stuff :angry-new: The ending to FC3 was pretty lame also. Lousy choice you got... In FC2, whichever choice of ending you pursued still entailed some action and an interesting finale, as opposed to either sailing into the sunset with your dopey friends or having gratuitous sex followed by a stabbing.
Cor blimey... ::)

Guys, guys...... let us be grateful, since FC1 there has been NO ZOMBIES where you needed all the cheats ever written, being killed a zillion times and a hell of a lot of luck just to be able to survive from one auto save to the next :D :-D

Why does everyone hate FC1, I actually loved that game, and did not have problems with the mutants in that game. Only thing that caused problems to me was the crashing of that game, which ruined many of my marathons.
I didn't hate FC1, in fact I quite enjoyed it. I wasn't crazy about the mutants, but overall I thought it was a very good game.
I never could get through that final mission though, the one in the big crater. At least I think that was the final mission. I don't know because I could never get through it :-()
fragger, just like you, I never had big issues with mutants. I prefer fighting mercenaries when it comes to a Far Cry game though but I really had a great time playing FC1. 8)
I remember being stunned by the graphics at the time and the whole tropical-paradise-with blood scenario. >:D
The last mission is the one at the crater indeed. I had the worst time of my gaming life trying to pass that level. It was excruciatingly hard to finish all blood thirsty monsters available at the game (on steroids) at once while they were on a killing frenzy trying to rip the flesh off my bones. Pure madness. They took the concept of "Hurt me plenty" to another level >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D
The only way I managed to finish that level, after almost a week trying it everyday for hours, was to find a small crack on a rock, near the entrance door where I could lay down and be out of sight of all range mutants and wait for the big, massive, mutants to come to me. I would then empty a whole clip of the heaviest machine gun I could carry with me into their foreheads and drop one by one untill those were finished. After that I switched to a range weapon and started picking those small, fast and invisible mutants from afar. With those two classes of mutants finished everything else was normal fighting - fire and dodge, get cover, medikit - rinse and repeat.
You then get to a room where you kill the main enemy and a cutscene starts showing game credits.
I liked FC1 a lot - up to the point when the mutant stuff started. I was at the time horrified (that s#!t was a lot better than any recent zombie games) and annoyed. Usually I restarted the game for another half playthrough until the mutants became a bit too much for my taste. However, I did finish the game one, I remember the crater madness but I used some cheats (which was weird, you basically had to write a script, the first time I came in contact with LUA) and therefore was able to deal with that stuff but I still didn't like mutants much. The first part of the game is just fantastic. I remember the pause screen with that camera flying around that beach and jungle bit.. and I loved to shoot birds of paradise out of the sky. POP! And a blood cloud and feathers.. lovely. >:D
I never tried FC1, but from the sound of it, I wouldn't like it too much - can't get in to zombie games although I've tried at least a couple of times (never finished one), and that boss thing at the end sounds awful.
Never had problems that I couldnt overcome in the game, I actually had to turn up the difficulty in this game to get a challenge, mostly because im a accurate and fast shooter(I go thru more ammo than Arnold in T2).
These were the fast jumping ones that ran around, easy to kill.

The green rock monster ability to resist bullets reminds me of JRDs FC2 mercs 8-X
:-D
I've never played FC1 but these monsters remind me of Halflife
Nice screencaps Stiku! :-X
For a 10 y.o, game you can tell how the graphics were good back then! 8)

^-^ true... but mercs were'nt bullet proof as in Africa.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed FC 1, I also didn't have a problem with some of the Zombies, but killing zombies on steroids is another matter, that's why it took me a while before buying FC 2 ???
I ummed and ahhed over it too, thinking "the mercs were cool to fight with in FC but I didn't like those monsters". In the end I thought what the heck and was more pleasantly surprised than I ever expected to be :-X Just a few minutes in and I knew I'd found something special.
