Far Cry 5 is probably the best open world shooter you'll play this year - Daily Star

Ubisoft's next game is promising to be a hit, but can it live up to past Far Cry experiences? Here's what we think.

Not if they left those eagles in the game.

opinionated2259d ago

Lmao HATE them. I saved a primal clip of me shooting one down long distance with an arrow after it attacked me and ran away. That was a proud moment for me.

It's saying a lot as there is a small game coming this fall that may be to differ. My only issue with FC games has been the reputation without any real progression.

TheSaint2258d ago

As soon as you hear the eagle screeching, run under the nearest tree. Messes with their targeting.

morganfell2258d ago

Those were not nearly as annoying. I never had a honey badger attack me while I was sneaking around an enemy encampment.

Goldby2260d ago

spiderman will probably be better,

Imp0ssibl32259d ago

Spider-Man is not a first person shooter, but Metro Exodus is.

Eidolon2259d ago

Rdr2 is not a FPS. Headline reads shooter, not FPS, but Spider-Man ain't any type of shooter, unless you're counting shooting webs.

RememberThe3572258d ago

Metro isn't open world, just really big maps.

KillBill2258d ago

"open world shooter" was the comparison point. Though Spider-man doesn't fall into that either.

I hate open world in fps games
So No Metro Exodus will be the best

CP_Company2259d ago

i agree. Metro semi open world gonna blow this game out of the water.

snoopgg2258d ago

Don't get me wrong, I love the exodus series, but it won't blow farcry 5 out of the water. Farcry 5 will win in graphics, length of game, multiplayer, plus coop play,and being openworld to boot. It beats exodus in so many categories , that its not even close.

Mr Lahey2259d ago

Is rdr2 really a first person shooter?

BadElf2259d ago

It will have a fps option, apparently. And u shoot things

joab7772259d ago

No, but it may have the option and it's says shooter.

sizeofyou2259d ago

And article title is "best open world shooter"...

KillBill2258d ago

"Far Cry 5 is probably the best open world shooter you'll play this year" why do you point out FPS? Point was 'open world shooter' not FPS.

LoveSpuds2259d ago

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot56d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor55d ago

Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.

Profchaos56d ago

I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel

Demetrius56d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger8855d ago (Edited 55d ago )

Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.

Far Cry 5 Has Surpassed 30 Million Players Worldwide

The 2018 first-person shooter has reached this milestone exactly 5 years after its initial release.

Profchaos406d ago

When you're free on every single service it's eventually going to happen.

Profchaos406d ago

Part of PS plus at the moment

ChasterMies406d ago

Far Cry 5 is “free” if you pay for PS+ Extra.

gangsta_red406d ago

Going to have to try and get back into Far Cry. The formula for Far Cry may be fun, but it gets repetitive very fast.

Demetrius406d ago

Been playing this series since far cry 3 I love the adventuring vibe this series gives off even far cry primal is so good, but experiencing far cry 5 in 60 fps crisp graphics on ps5 for the first time is dope it adds life to it, I wana give far cry 6 a second chance couldn’t get into it at first I wonder if it’s worth it

Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles now

Far Cry 5 Official Twitter: "You've been waiting long enough… Welcome to Hope County! Experience Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles … NOW! Far Cry 5 will also have a FREE WEEKEND from March 23-27 on all consoles & PC. Enjoy!"

banger88420d ago

Damn. I replayed it recently on SX with fps boost, and to achieve that they had to downgrade the resolution. Game played great but looked like ass. Wish I had've waited.

blackblades419d ago (Edited 419d ago )

So you saying fps boost lowers the resolution to achieve 60fps? Cause that culteastwitch was praising in a fanboy cok suking way.

Darkwatchman419d ago

It depends on the game. Some keep Xbox One X resolution. Others drop to base Xbox One resolution and settings.

Knushwood Butt420d ago

Nice
Waiting to play this on Extra but have had too much else to play.
So is this a native PS5 version or does the PS4 version run at 60fps on PS5?

Jin_Sakai420d ago

As expected, Far Cry 5 will now run at 60 frames-per-second on PS5,

“as part of a patch that optimises the PS4 game on Sony's new-gen console.”

Knushwood Butt419d ago

Downloading now. I might do a bit of pancake gaming this weekend.

Eidolon419d ago

Not native PS5. But still looked pretty good on PS4 Pro, and at a solid 60fps, definitely a good experience. Sadly games can't break out of PS4 Pro resolutions, for some reason.

LucasRuinedChildhood419d ago

PS4 games can run 2-2.5 times better on PS5. They're basically just changing the framerate cap to take advantage of that. They could actually change the resolution but it might affect the framerate - it's not a native PS5 game so it can't properly take advantage of the hardware. 1620p isn't bad, tbh.

Eidolon419d ago

Was really hoping to read that New Dawn would be upgraded as well. :( Already beat Far Cry 5 + and only like 1 hr into New Dawn.

KeeseToast419d ago (Edited 419d ago )

Pretty nice 👍
Now we’ll only need fps boost for:
Arkham Knight
Bloodborne
The Last Guardian
Assassin‘s Creed Unity
Shadow of the Colossus
Gravity Rush 2

Did I forget something?

Welshy419d ago

The worst part about AC Unity is that it *does* run natively at 60fps, but only when running the 1.0 version from the disc. If you allow the game to update, future patches applied a 30fps cap for some reason.

I don't see any reason it would be difficult to just lift the cap that they added.

CML2419d ago

Shadow of the Colossus already runs at 60fps.
Its possible to play The Last Guardian at 60fps with an unpatched disc version too.

Stanjara419d ago

So why not unlock framerate cap on the latest version? Can't be that hard.

CML2419d ago

Probably because the studio doesnt exist anymore. 🥲

LucasRuinedChildhood419d ago (Edited 419d ago )

Absolutely. RDR2 still sells very well so the lack of a next gen version after GTA5 next gen is really annoying.
