Forget that this is an unprecedented move that stands to change things (you can’t go back once it’s been let out of the bag), but as a move to draw attention and sales? Thinking outside the box and letting quality speak for itself… its everything I have hoped for since the whole ‘ownership rights’ and ‘creative content’ debate started. In a partnership with PlayStation Plus, it was announced that friends who hadn’t bought the game would be able to jump into coop sessions. ![]() The extra beefy hardware was very apparent in a lot of games this E3, and Far Cry, always staggeringly good looking for an open world game, was one of these.įar Cry 4 stood out amongst the crowd because it broke some ground at E3, also. Though there will be last generation (Xbox 360, PS3) releases of this title, I think Far Cry 4 is probably one best left to the new kids, or, you know, good ole PC. Far Cry 4 looks like I’m going to fall off the map and into Nepal (?) for quite awhile. Complete with a dramatically stunning backdrop, fully eccentric and insane bad guy, and an increased verticality. E3 features a bunch of content, including some trailers that confirmed that this is indeed a Far Cry game. If I’m being honest, it doesn’t feel like there has been enough time for them to slap together another one, and yet here it is. Over and above for DLC, they had me at Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon got them in my good graces for life. Blood Dragon, the stand alone DLC was the perfect love letter to the eighties action flick, and a real treat to play. Talk about fingers on the pulse, the folks at Ubi were onto an eighties retro trend before it had even reached social climax, and totally capitalized. ![]() So good it was possible to ignore the fact that the people being saved were total nobs and hardly worth the loss of life, Far Cry 3 provided a great deal of exploration, treasure hunting, and various shootery gameplay. Something about ripping around dirt roads in a quasi paradise in low slung, farty engine, bush-cars spoke to me in a way that has me thinking I might have had a previous life somewhere in South America. I for one liked to pop in just to take down an enemy fort, and that’s without mentioning the glorious driving mechanic. With Far Cry 3 we got a stunning wide ranging ‘open world’ adventure that stepped it up a notch. Turns out fighting pirates and the criminally insane within a semi tropical Pacific climate doesn’t get old, as both did very well. Far Cry 3 was ‘another’ adventure on a deserted island, shooting lots of bad guys game, following the stunning Tomb Raider reboot. ![]() Certainly one of the big boy games announced during this years E3, Far Cry 4 was greeted with uproarious applause, and with good reason.
