Ubisoft flames after sensation of Far Cry 5

(Boursier.com) - Gamers feared Ubisoft's 'Far Cry 5' might not be up to popularity with Fortnite, the hottest game of the day. But the title has managed to seduce the public, since the publisher said last night that the fifth album is the one that was sold the fastest in the history of the franchise.

wow.. I have had my eye on this game but was unsure if I wanted to take the plunge. Now I need to decide if I should get it for my PS4 or my PC. Although I may have a 20% off discount coupon for the PSN that I could use towards a digital copy.

Lon3wolf2240d ago

If you have 100 points on UPlay you can also get 20% off in the UPlay store if you don't have the PSN coupon anymore.

Neonridr2240d ago

I do have the coupon though.. so I could get the Gold Edition for considerable savings.. $95 (CDN).

but I have a 1080ti for my PC... and I have a PS4 Pro.... hmmmmmmmmmmmm decisions.

MegamanXXX2240d ago (Edited 2240d ago )

@Neonridr

I suggest the PC version! You'll be able to run it in native 4K 60fps with that 1080ti

Neonridr2240d ago

@MegamanXXX - that is what I am thinking.. But my main gaming monitor is a 27" 1440p (165Hz) monitor. So if I wanted 4K gaming I would have to out it around the corner to my TV.

MegamanXXX2240d ago (Edited 2240d ago )

@Neonridr
I would do that. You have options. I bought a long HDMI cord and got my PC hooked up to my monitor and my 55 inch Oled TV in my bedroom and got my PS4 hooked up in my livingroom.

And there was an article sometime before release saying this game wouldn't so that well sales wise. Boy were they wrong lol.

@Neo

Nope lol

Neonridr2240d ago

Maybe they were worried that the formula had grown stale. Clearly not I guess.

Imalwaysright2240d ago

I don't know your PC specs but if you can play this game at 60 FPS or above then the PC version is a no brainer and you could save your coupon for GOW or other game.

morganfell2240d ago

Don't do it. Go spend 9.99 on Steam for Far Cry 2 and get a much superior game. This game has just been horrendous and I do not mean the bugs although the technical issues have been abhorrent and inexcusable.

With the sales of this and monster Hunter, hopefully companies will continue to release AAA games outside of the holiday window. June July and August are still routinely bare.

Servbot412240d ago

Publishers never learn. July and August have nothing and they'll all be crying about losing sales to Red Dead in October.

OC_MurphysLaw2240d ago

Ubisoft killing it with their games of late.

madforaday2240d ago

Since the first Watch Dogs argument with the downgrade Ubisoft stepped up to the place big time!

bluefox7552240d ago

Worded weirdly. Not sure the word "last" was necessary.

roadkillers2240d ago

I just came here to say this. Thumbs up for beating me to it.

EazyC2240d ago

No, it's "this" March, but even then the addition is superfluous. Last March was 2017

AAWELLS092240d ago

Yeah I had no clue this has been out for a year already. lol

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

-Foxtrot70d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor70d 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.

Profchaos70d 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

Demetrius70d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger8870d ago (Edited 70d 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.

Profchaos421d ago

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

Profchaos421d ago

Part of PS plus at the moment

ChasterMies420d ago

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

gangsta_red420d 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.

Demetrius420d 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!"

banger88434d 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.

blackblades434d ago (Edited 434d ago )

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

Darkwatchman434d ago

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

Knushwood Butt434d 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_Sakai434d 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 Butt434d ago

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

Eidolon434d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood433d 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.

Eidolon434d 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.

KeeseToast434d ago (Edited 434d 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?

Welshy434d 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.

CML2434d ago

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

Stanjara434d ago

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

CML2433d ago

Probably because the studio doesnt exist anymore. 🥲

LucasRuinedChildhood433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

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