I hope they can optimize the XB1 version a bit. It's not bad, but the framerate in the comparison videos dropped to the high 20's at times while all other versions are stable at 30.

Thanks to destiny1080 below for this link:

Why do people disagree with facts all the time???

mkis0072231d ago

Reasons:
1) Mistakenly pressing disagree.
2) Not liking a fact.
3) Not liking the user.

Agree and Disagree might be the name of the button, but its more like Positive and Negative.

raWfodog2230d ago

I believe he mentioned specifically the XB1S in the video (starting around 10:40). Weirdly, it was performing worse than the base XB1.

BongSmack2230d ago

30 doesn't sound very stable.

The bull testi mission is messed up.. The cows wont interact with them even after breaking the lock and fencing..

Testfire2231d ago

That's a shame because it was a pretty funny mission

OffRoadKing2230d ago

Hmm I was able to get through it no problem. Can you reset the mission somehow?

DivineAssault 2230d ago

I dont think so.. I got one set but the noise from the gunfire alerted nearby enemies and it interrupted the mission.. Now the cows wont leave the pen area.. I left and came back multiple times but they just run in circles instead of toward the bulls.. I even tried making the bulls go to the cows but nothing.. I might have to just catch them somewhere else in the middle of the act or just abandon the mission.. Its my last sidequest too

OffRoadKing2230d ago

Well that sucks dude, the good news is you only need one set of testies from them mating, the rest you can get without them interacting. In the pause menu there is an option for reload last checkpoint and also quit mission, not sure if either of those would help as you might be into other mission now.

RCslayer2231d ago

Anyone having lower FPS on Xb1 after this update? The gameplay is now a little choppy.

New-Breed2231d ago

Ubisoft said the update doesn't hit Xbox One or PS4 until Monday. How are you playing the game with it?

Alexander1Nevermind2231d ago

It says in the title the patch doesn't hit the consoles until Monday. That said there is a comment above about the X1 not keeping a stable 30 frames.

Destiny10802231d ago

according to digital foundry the frame rate is horrendous on base hardware

UKRsoldja2230d ago

Um, no. Nowhere do they say "horrendous on base hardware".

raWfodog2230d ago

The base XB1 (stable 30fps) performed better than the XB1S (many dips below 30fps), go figure.

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

-Foxtrot61d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor60d 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.

Profchaos61d 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

Demetrius61d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger8861d ago (Edited 61d 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.

Profchaos411d ago

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

Profchaos411d ago

Part of PS plus at the moment

ChasterMies411d ago

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

gangsta_red411d 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.

Demetrius411d 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!"

banger88425d 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.

blackblades424d ago (Edited 424d ago )

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

Darkwatchman424d ago

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

Knushwood Butt425d 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_Sakai425d 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 Butt424d ago

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

Eidolon424d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood424d 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.

Eidolon424d 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.

KeeseToast424d ago (Edited 424d 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?

Welshy424d 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.

CML2424d ago

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

Stanjara424d ago

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

CML2424d ago

Probably because the studio doesnt exist anymore. 🥲

LucasRuinedChildhood424d ago (Edited 424d ago )

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