Far Cry 5 Hands-On Preview: New Game, Same Ol' Open World Issues

Far Cry 5's setting of Hope County, Montana doesn't offer much in the way of player immersion or interaction - that is, unless you like to be steered in the wrong direction.

I HOPE i like this more than Far Cry 4, see what I did there? HOPE

Sonic_Vs_Mario2275d ago (Edited 2275d ago )

Can't wait to play this on Xbox One X.

winter_hill2275d ago

Can't wait to play on my standard edition PS4.

DarkBlaze252275d ago

So a guy saying he can't wait for a game on his console of choice gets down voted while another person says the same thing about the same game with a different console of choice but gets up voted... Yup seems about right smh

Dark_Knightmare22275d ago

I'll explain it to you even though I believe you already know and was just trying to start something. The first dude is a known troll and fanboy who constantly spouts dumb crap in articles which is why he was downvoted. The other guy was being sarcastic and making fun of him which is why he got upvotes. I hope that helped solve your confusion over why it went down the way it did.

G20WLY2275d ago

He knows why he said it. If you don't, that's the real issue here 😂

DarkBlaze252275d ago

@dark truth be told I honestly didn't know since I'm not as active as I should be in the comments on this site so I really don't know who the trolls are to look out for. From my perspective albeit a ignorant one it just seemed like a unfair down voting based on system preference even though the game was the same. But thanks for letting me know know what it was actually about now.

cuz its PS fansite lol

CurbStompin2275d ago

Welcome to N4G. Please take off your coat, enjoy some Sony products, or you can get the hell out.

Rachel_Alucard2275d ago

He's coming off like he's advertising or trying to show off his epeen just because he bought a console.

Dragonscale2275d ago

Theres a helluva lot of pro xbox articles and fanboys for a pro PlayStation site lol.

Can't wait to play this on my PC and PS4 :)

PUBG2275d ago

Wow, you're going to play on PC & PS4 simultaneously? You're super duper hardcore, and you've got lots of money too!

Pantz2275d ago

From what I hear, this game is going to be amazing on Xbox One X

Avengerz432275d ago

The X version will be the best version of the game aside from PC of course. As is the case with every major 3rd party release. I know it pains Sony people but it's just facts the X is the superior hardware over the pro. The game will still look fine on the pro I'm sure.

showtimefolks2275d ago

Who the heck cares enjoy it why is it even when pro was the only mid generation console in the market we didn't hear will play on pro

In my opinion those who bought Xbox X say this sort of stuff in a way to be able to validate their purchase

More power to anyone who enjoys whichever console. I for one am happy that atleast Sony cares about releasing games for all types of gamers while ms takes sometimes 9 months in between releases

And I know the same BS excuse from Xbox camp about how they don't care about ps4 exclusives or don't have interest in them yet the same people have interest in buying the same racing games yearly

I am truly sorry if Xbox fans feels a certain way about otter consoles when they should be demanding more

The biggest feature of Xbox one isn't the games it's the BC

Avengerz432275d ago

It's pretty simple really if you don't have a PC and like gaming on consoles. And if you like the highest possible resolution and fastest load times and just overall performance to enjoy your console games on you'll buy an X and buy every 3rd party title on the X. It's not about camps and being fanboys it's about the best way to enjoy your favorite games. When this console generation started I played everything except Gears, Halo and Forza on my PS4. And that biased selection of my gaming got worse when the Pro was released. Then I got an X and it was a easy decision every 3rd party game him here until Sony responds with better hardware will be played on my X which runs said games 2-4x the resolution, faster load times, and just generally better performance. The Pro is now only for that amazing library of exclusives that Sony has.

81BX2275d ago

@Showtime
I'm going to enjoy this on my X. Have fun

badz1492275d ago

so...did you buy all 3rd party games on the PS4 before the release of the X last year? OR...were you in a long hiding because all the superior multiplats were on the PS4 since 2013?

Avengerz432275d ago (Edited 2275d ago )

I bought all 3rd party titles on my PS4 and then my PS4 since 2013. I only started buying all my 3rd party titles on my X since I got my X. It's just the superior console to enjoy the game on unless you own a gaming PC. I used to have these same conversations with the MS fans when the Pro was launched. It's so stupid to get into brand allegiance arguments. Like I said before if you don't own a really good gaming PC and you own a good 4k TV (even if you don't the X runs games better in 1080p than the pro in 1080p) then you will want to play all 3rd party games from here until Sony comes out with a answer on the X.

It isn't that hard it isn't about company blind allegiance the X is just a better hardware option than anything Nintendo or Sony has right now.

Aceman182274d ago (Edited 2274d ago )

Yea I dont give two sh*ts whether or not the X1 will be the better version it won't stop me from enjoying it on my Pro lol.

It's too damn funny that X1 owners or soon to be owners keep saying the same thing over and over when everyone knows this already lol.

It's almost like Xbox owners are totally insecure about their purchase that they gotta keep reminding everyone about this fact lol.

I own a 65 4K HDR LG OLED, and my games running on the Pro look absolutely fantastic, I'm not anal enough to go spend another half grand just for a little resolution bump when my Pro is doing a damn good job of giving my wonderful graphics on my screen.

Vectrexer2274d ago

So funny how the trolls here blind and Truth immediately makes him down vote your statement.

Rachel_Alucard2274d ago

Good consoles cant fix bad games.

NXFather2274d ago

I agree with you but would you pick the PS5 at $500 or another new console if it became available right now? What about at $600?

Avengerz432274d ago

I'd definitely buy a PS5 right now for $500-$600 and if it's a better hardware than the X then all my 3rd party gaming would move back to Sony.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2275d ago

It's sad that you got downvoted and the guy below you is upvoted, just goes to show how biased the N4G community is. Def getting it on X, save the Pro for exclusives

Vectrexer2274d ago

As with l console multiplatform releases the Xbox One X will be Far and Away the best version to play this game!!

BiggerBoss2274d ago

Yet it will still sell way better on the PS4...

Why don't Xbox guys actually buy games?

Can not wait to play this game, only a few more weeks left

neutralgamer19922275d ago (Edited 2275d ago )

could someone please explain to me how UBI learned enough to make major gameplay changes to AC series with origins yet we are getting the same old FC game. I guess i am in the minority because even FC4 sold really well and i thought it was just average

why is it that UBI can't learn i don't want my world map filled with icons give me quality over quantity

HyperMouse2275d ago

Thats UBI every damn open world game, one billion and two icons to go to and collect, its daunting, time consuming (the point id say) and the icons dont really do that much to make it feel worth while, at least to me anyway.

IanTH2275d ago (Edited 2275d ago )

Well, for what it is worth, they have removed towers. In this game and you unlock points of interest "organically" through seeing signs, finding a piece of information, seeing something happening, talking to someone to point you to an objective, etc., rather than getting an icon dump of dozens of things from one source like a tower.

I'm not sure how much this game will ultimately be changed, but they are at least doing enough listening to know that people are tired of towers and icon-dump-chores. Last one I played was 3 and I'm not overly interested in 5 yet, but that little bit of info at least lets me know they are doing at least a smidgen less of the patented Ubisoft copy/paste formula they've been leaning on way too heavily.

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

-Foxtrot76d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor76d 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.

Profchaos76d 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

Demetrius76d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger8876d ago (Edited 76d 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.

Profchaos427d ago

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

Profchaos427d ago

Part of PS plus at the moment

ChasterMies426d ago

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

gangsta_red426d 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.

Demetrius426d 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!"

banger88440d 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.

blackblades440d ago (Edited 440d ago )

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

Darkwatchman440d ago

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

Knushwood Butt440d 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_Sakai440d 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 Butt440d ago

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

Eidolon440d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood439d 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.

Eidolon440d 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.

KeeseToast440d ago (Edited 440d 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?

Welshy440d 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.

CML2440d ago

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

Stanjara440d ago

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

CML2439d ago

Probably because the studio doesnt exist anymore. 🥲

LucasRuinedChildhood439d ago (Edited 439d ago )

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