The next Far Cry game looks like it’s going to have a Spaghetti Western setting.
The setting of Far Cry 5, or whatever the next Far Cry game ends up being called, has apparently leaked online in the most unconventional way.
Great Falls Tribune reported about a film crew shooting a live-action trailer for an unannounced game near a church in the Montana prairie. Jeff Guillot, a producer on the shoot, revealed to the paper that this is for a game to be released in September.
The more obvious franchise here is Far Cry. Early in 2015, Ubisoft polled players about several possible settings it could use for the next Far Cry game. “A game in the Spaghetti Western style set in the 19th century Americas” was one of those choices.
Ubisoft has published the CoJ games in the past, and Techland has done fuck all since the last Dying Light DLC.
Lucas Evans
Holy shit I'd love that, Gunslinger is one of my favorite games of all time
Jason Barnes
>open world spagetti western where I can play poker and kill everyone if I get a bad hand
Sign me the fuck up!
Josiah Barnes
Fake and gay. But I wouldn't be opposed to it.
Angel Miller
wonder what they're gonna make you climb up this time
Austin Ross
So, they're ripping off RDR2 before it's even released?
Wyatt Young
They're trying to ride RDR2's hype
Cameron Lee
I hope not. Gunslinger wasnt that great. That story telling quirk they use should stick to movies
Henry Bennett
probably old farm windmills
Isaac Collins
Stop riding rockstars dick, we need more western first persom shooters.
Eli Wilson
>Gat dang it, generic pro-tagonist >if'n y'all want to stop "generic warlord with one or two interesting scenes" y'all 'r gonna have'ta climb all these windmills! >don't forget to harvest X amount of pay-otey to induce bullet time >I kin also git you access to mah carriage wit' 'ter chain gun on the back for a few missions
Jeremiah Kelly
>Far Cry with a western setting What kind of dangerous animals would it have aside from cougars, wolves, and coyotes?
Wyatt Richardson
Bears
Julian Lee
Too scared to play now.
Landon Hughes
Injuns
Owen Richardson
Called it over a year ago, nice to see this happening.
I really can't imagine how it'd play out though.
Blake Hughes
Lol internet polarity. But >Western >Far Cry I love Westerns and this doesn't make any sense to me. Remember when Far Cry was shooting goons and mutants on an island? What does the name mean anymore? A big map?
Jace Cook
mexicans
Aiden Jackson
Far Cry 3 was my fav game
pls no bull
Lucas James
RDR2 will shit all over it
Samuel Green
right when Red Dead Redemption 2 is on the way? are they stupid?
Brayden Long
cant wait to play as a stronk womyn!
Cooper Lopez
Mexicans
Carson Green
I would say they are, but the Western genre is pretty untapped for video games so I'd gladly take two Western games in one year.
Wyatt Butler
it'd be the Mad Max to RDR2's Fallout 4
Jacob Garcia
Being stuck in a dangerous, exotic open environment
Luke Gomez
Far Cry being about a "Man in an island killing people and some science mutants" stopped as soon as the second game user, which took place in Africa.
Far Cry as a franchise is just about generic a man thrusted abruptly into a new environment where he must use Rambo esc. survival skills using mild stealth tactics.
Jonathan Clark
No need to bull, farcry 3 was a good game.
Liam Thompson
this needs to happen
Nolan Richardson
Now why the fuck would you release a western game the same year a Red Dead game is coming out? They should have put this out a couple years ago. Ubisoft is such a retarded company.
Hunter Foster
"For a fistful of dollars" and "The good th bad and the ugly" are my two favorite westerns ever. I'm happy about this.
I hat the westwood gritty RDR style deconstruction of the western mythos. Give me larger than life cool as fuck badasses anytime over that crap.
Liam Hughes
It's because of people like you that we end up with worthless nigger protags
Julian Morgan
The last Far Cry i bought was 2 i might have to change that if this is real since i love westerns.
Ethan Morgan
>developed by ubisoft Sign me the fuck out!
Dylan Harris
I had an awful experience with it since I played it on the 360 way before I had a PC. It's horrible on 360.
>It's a western and um this publisher once did a western game of a completely different type by a different dev, so it's uh, surely be the sequel to that, uh, er, uh, right? You're a moron.
Parker Ramirez
But Far Cry 3 was a deconstruction of the stereotypical bad-ass 80's Rambo esc. hero (well maybe not Rambo since Rambo already was a deconstruction of that character archetype) and Far Cry 4 to a lesser extent tried to do that shit too.
What makes you think they won't do it with this?
Hunter Johnson
>we need more open world games with towers What else were you expecting? It's gonna be Far Cry 3 in a desert with Cacti.
Kevin Wood
I swear to God if I see so much as a clip of the character climbing a windmill or a watertower or some stupid shit it's an instant drop.
Matthew James
>deconstructed anything is good I'm happy to sell you some $50 mincemeat, it's a deluxe super mega burger, deconstructed to the source. >cheeseburger
Ian Bennett
primal did ok without towers completely different system
Isaiah Fisher
>What makes you think they won't do it with this?
Nothing really. I just really hope it's a straight up homage to the genre.
Jason Powell
>Far Cry
it's because each game's setting and subject matter are a far cry from the last
Nicholas Carter
Railway Stations then.
Austin Gomez
Freed slaves
Nicholas Martin
>ubisoft >western
How? What will I climb to unlock the map?!
Landon Walker
>we want the red dead audience
Lucas Baker
I never said it was necessarily good. I'm just pointing out why would someone expect this game won't be a deconstruction of a genre, when the previous games of the franchise where just that.
Bentley Jones
>You realize there will never be a western made open world game about samurai because the devs would be accused of cultural appropriation
Dominic Carter
You can't ever celebrate, you better change you're mind... Save the world you fool you child!
Ayden Hernandez
american eagles? buffalos? snakes?
Lucas Lopez
Well yeah, it's a far cry from the original
Wtf did you expect after the "sequel" was in africa, followed by a pacific island, the himalayas and then the prehistoric age?
Andrew Lewis
I want a samurai game based in the wild West.
Asher Murphy
Red Steel 2. Sort of.
Henry Jones
I can't imagine topping RDR. They should choose different setting.
Jose Miller
I won't lie, I'm interested (a surprise for a Farcry game). But I swear to god if this game has climbable towers -- or an analogue thereof -- Ubisoft won't get a single red cent out of me.
Colton Miller
They can easily avoid that by having the whole voice cast be Japanese
Nicholas Harris
>it's a far cry from the original Oh no you didn't
Hunter Wilson
Are you retarded? Like literally, mentally challenged and unable to read properly? He said "generic protagonist" because he was speaking as an NPC, talking to the protagonist, about all the generic ubisoft shit he has to do. He was insulting the ubisoft formula, not making any kind of commentary on the protagonist.
Josiah Allen
Cap it, calling it now.
Liam Cox
>still no sequel to the best far cry game
Not interested. I'd rather get RDR2 for spaghetti western vidya.
Lucas Carter
So nothing then, since that's every other game. There were 3 games between Far Cry and Far Cry "2".
William Diaz
>I'd gladly take two Western games in one year. But Ubisoft's will be utter shit and no competition to RDR.
Asher Mitchell
This is a given for Ubisoft, and expected for just about most game shown off at E3.
Jack Nelson
RDR is my favorite Rockstar game too user, but how do you know it won't get the GTA V treatment?
Lackluster singleplayer and complete focus on a multiplayer gamemode that isn't particularly fun?
Adrian Ortiz
>lackluster singleplayer >implying GTAV didn't have the most varied and fun singleplayer next to GTASA
>complete focus on a multiplayer gamemode >a gamemode that wasn't available at the start >a gamemode that was so underdeveloped, it was in "beta" for a long time post launch >a gamemode that has offered the GTA multiplayer mode everyone has wanted since forever and has kept the game relevant to this date
We should all be so lucky RDR2 gets the GTAV treatment instead of a GTAIV treatment.
Dominic Thomas
Is this the greatest spaghetti western scene ever?
