Does anyone know if it will really worth to buy the next gen version of FC4 instead of 360 or PS3
Ubisoft promises Far Cry 4 on PS4, Xbox One is equal to high-end PC
Quote:
"We want the gameplay experience to be the same on all platforms so we're leaning on technical differences. Everything you see, whether it's the fur on the animals, the grass on the ground or the leaves on the trees. All these things are bumped up a huge amount in the next gen version"

they wont match the pc version, no chance. ps4 xbox one run 30fps with dips. pc will be 60fps upwards depending on your set up.
Well, as someone who owns a 360 and a ps4, I'm just going to get it on ps4 (even though the 360's controller is still much better for shooters IMO) because why not? They'll be the same price and who would buy the ... not inferior, but lesser version of anything for the same price?
I just thought of why someone might get the last gen version and that would be for the mapping community but I"m not into the mapping stuff much (mostly because it never really took off to a level where it was worth it for me) so I've no reason for the last gen version...
@HorTys
I have a 360 now...IMO there is not enought great games yet to make me buy a next gen console but Far Cry 4 could be the game that would make me buy an Xbox One...if it really better than on 360 !
Well the game - as already posted - will look better on the current gen consoles [PS4 /Xbox one] - and perform better.
The game is being optimised for the newer consoles, so you should be able to see improvements ;)
However - jumping from one console to another, should be considered, since you will have to rebuy titles and look to the future for what other games you will want.
I'm sure everyone will say 'do it' - however you know if it's worth it ;)
The game will be the best they can make on all formats - though the PS4 /Xbox One versions - will be the better console versions ;)
People said that the PS4 vs PS3 version of AC4 - which was one of the first titles for Ubisoft on the new consoles, wouldn't be that much of a step up - but the smoother framerate, higher resolution textures and added effects and foliage, all add to the experience and many ate their words ;)
Battlefield on 60 frames was a stunner on the XBONE, besides that I think Ryse and Projects Spark (?) are the only next gen exclusives.
Its a lot of money and doesn't really look like a lot of exclusives are coming out for a while. Im a sucker for detail but you get used to it really quick so you might as well wait.
Lol, well that depends. but not as close as interesting as the question why does Holland never win the World cup ? Again so close this time yet again so far.
Since it's not in the framerate I thought it would be something else that I missed when you said it performs better on next gen.
I hope ubisoft really exploited all the power of new gen consoles....

Ubisoft has announced its plans for San Diego Comic-Con, confirming panels for two of its most highly anticipated games: Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed Unity.
The Far Cry 4 panel will be held on Thursday, July 24 and take attendees behind the scenes "to learn about what went into building Far Cry 4's open-world Kyrat for the next generation." Ubisoft briefly explained that the team traveled to Nepal with VICE to draw inspiration and create authentic Kyrati characters and environments to the region. The hour-long panel will begin at 3:15pm
Thanks Shade. It's only 4 months untill release so can't be that long of a wait.
Really hope that the focus is not just on single player this time, Far Cry deserves a killer MP as well.
Can you tell if it will be available for direct download from the Marketplace ?
Far Cry 4 Will look better on next gen consoles than GTA 5....Quote:

I'm hoping for dedicated servers on xbox one.. If it's ptp I'm sticking with the 360..
Checkout the destiny ps3 vs ps4 video, it may give you some idea of the kind of Differences you will see on fc4. there are Differences, but they are not ground breaking.

I actually like the look of the PS3 screen better - just had a quick look at different stages and it appears to have a lot more colour, the PS4 one is mostly fog ' haze.
Unsure what they have done but they certainly don't appear to have pushed the PS4 version at all, looks like a sloppy conversion - they should really push the new machines IMO because then it would make me want to upgrade if the PS3 / 360 versions looked a lot worse visually.
The PS4 / XB1 should handle lots more on screen, should look a lot better and should have a better frame rate.
I would think the best route would be to create on PC at max they can do then downgrade to PS4 and XB1 with the best they can give then downgrade further to PS3 / 360 and give that platform the best they can do.
If many more games are like this then these new consoles will not last long, already there are very few exclusives and from the ones available I do not know of any worth bragging about - too many remade games - I am hoping to upgrade later this year and was hoping Far Cry 4 would look a million times better and allow for more items in the editor and much more stuff on screen, if it's a half arsed conversion then I will stick with the console I have and maybe wait out another year.:(
Destiny PS4 from that vid does nothing for me whatsoever, I hope I am wrong - what do others think ?
Edit
Looking at the FC4 E3 Vid I can't believe that PS3 and 360 will throw graphics like that out so it will be interesting to see how they differ - still FC3 looked good on PS3 / 360 although the water was very different compared to the PC Version.

That is exactly how I feel - the same as what he says in that article linked above.
My brother in law has a PS4 and I have seen a few games on it, mainly Killzone / Battlefield & Watch Dogs - all look to be good games but none blew me away on the graphical side & 2 of those games are available on the older consoles.
I could go out and pick up an XB1 or PS4 tomorrow if needed (the wife would be ok with that) but I honestly don't know what I would play on it, so I will just sit back and wait - Far Cry 4 could be the game that moves me into the newer console crowd but it we are capped stupidly when placing items in the editor as with FC3 and seeing the PC version have no limitations now that would hurt so I might possibly wait for some confirmation on next gen goodies where FC4 is concerned.
Yeah, I don't know why people wouldn't think FC4 is gonna look better on PS4 from PS3? It's plain and simple more powerful and simpler to port to, and even though this doesn't mean it will be equal to double titans on a PC, I'm expecting a 1080p @30fps or something along those lines, and the PS3 just can't do that :/
I have PS3 and PS4...as a scenario lets say someone has PS3.. they make a map and publish it. Can it only be played by others on PS3?
Or is it published onto a server that allows both platforms to play it?... and going further - if a map is made on PS4 can someone with a PS3 download it and play it?
Sab I really hope that PS4 maps can't be played on PS3 because if they can IMO that means that those on newer consoles have been shafted big time.

That video above from PC Far Cry 3 shows 375 A.I. characters and the guy who did the vid says his PC is not at top spec, we got about 15 A.I. characters then they brought out an update which knocked us back to about 7 or 8 in a map (depending on which ones we selected)
So imagine if things were the same with Far Cry 4 that would mean that the PC version gets so much more stuff with zero restrictions and the consoles would be restricted so badly that it would effect the time people would make maps - if they pull that stunt again with the single grid / item restrictions on the newer consoles I can honestly see a big backlash because there is no need to handicap those consoles they can handle so much more than the old 360 and PS3.
I see no reason why a PS3 map couldn't be played on PS4 but the other way around it should not happen (If I placed 300 A.I. in a PS4 map I wouldn't expect the PS3 to handle that so how would it work ?
Been honest though Ubisoft should dictate to Microsoft and Sony and say if you want our game on your platform then PS3 and 360 maps need to be cross platform sharing and the same with PS4 and Xbox One, that would be so much better and the game is a big enough seller that they would be fools to not allow map sharing over rival consoles.
I hope Dappers source is right and that we get that MP info next monday. I think we all need some actual news.
The number of objects and possibilities the map editor had on Far Cry 3 was a step in the right direction, but if they are just building it for old gen with FC4 and give next gen a bit better graphics it would be a very big let down. I like the idea of cross-platform but don't see this happening.
Here is the next gen framerate test on FC4, we will be lucky if we get up to a decent 30.

Far cry 3 dropped back to 20 or worse on many occassions

And the Destiny one which is very very solid

What i Would really want to know is WHAT EXACTLY..... next Gen consoles will offer more than old gen consoles. Did Ubisoft exploited all features and power of the Xbox One and PS4.....will FC4 be the next gen game that will make gamers buy new gen consoles.....
Anyone found a comparaison video or article about it. ..?
I just hope graphics will be way better on next gen consoles than ps3 and 360. Rockstar promises a huge graphics difference for GTA 5 next gen. ....I hope Far Cry 4 will do the same. ..!
Dedicated servers please .. If not I'm sticking with the 360..
Chances of far cry 4 having dedicated servers is zero. even if it did have dedicated servers this would be across all platforms. far cry games are single player focused with multiplayer just being an extra. far cry would have to become multiplayer focused for ubi to even consider having dedicated servers. im getting it on xbox 360. i will upgrade to ps4 when i find a reason to :)
What was the decision behind releasing the game across two console generations? What are the differences between current and next-gen versions?
"There are still millions of players on the 360 and the PS3 and we want them to be able to play the game! In terms of gameplay, they're all identical - same enemies, same AI, same challenges.
"However. we're able to get higher graphical fidelity on the next-gen systems and PC: better fur on the animals, higher resolution textures in the game, all that kind of thing. But in terms of fun, they're all equal."
(I don't find it fun if I am on a Next Gen system and we get a stupid cap on how much A.I. or how many items we can place in our maps because the older consoles can't do the calculations to keep up - what is funny about that)
I was hoping that the Xbox One and PS4 would get a little love other than just graphics, I think that everyone who purchase Far Cry 4 on newer consoles will feel cheated and disappointed if we get the same cap with items per grid as Xbox 360 & PS3.
I look forward to finding out the differences, If I knew right now that FC4 would be the same with what we can use in the editor among old and new consoles I would cancel my PS4 with Destiny and stick with the PS3 and maybe even wait several months and get the game at a cheaper rate because that would tell me that basically they didn't give a ****.
Well PAX is on so lets wait for the info that we no doubt won't get to hear.
At least..... i hope that graphicly.....there will be a " HUGE " difference between Far Cry 4 old & next gen consoles.

Ubisoft Will do as Good as Rockstar.....
Well... Rockstar are actually adding new content to the new version of GTA 5, and it's been confirmed the only differences between last gen and new gen versions of FC4 are purely graphical. One thing I'm getting a bit more bummed about the more I see of it is the amount of recycled animations and assets from FC3. Ajay & Jason Brody are 2 totally different characters, they shouldn't share any animations! All the takedowns should look different (honestly I think there should be multiple versions of each type of takedown really) and all the reloads should look a bit different even... (multiple of those as well actually...)
On the good news side of the coin though, I didn't know the game was gonna have a hovercraft!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTSveDo6qdE
Another new interview I'd not seen...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vikmqTsQ4m8
What's the possibility of the recycled animations just being in there for the demos, but new animations will be implemented when the game releases?
I really like that they're going to have a hovercraft. I can't wait to get my hands on this.
Naw man, all the recycled animations we've been seeing will be in the final game, there'd be no point in them putting in a bunch of re-used animations just as placeholders. I just hope there are also some new ones for older actions. I know there are all new takedowns that weren't in FC3, but I also hope they added a few new ones to existing take-downs that we just haven't seen yet...
UBI need to take a look at what DICE and Rockstar are doing, as in making the best possible game for each platform, and pushing the limits.
Increased graphical fidelity? Really? So 1080p then? one would hope so anyway considering the low framerate..
