    So this time no Multiplayer at all?

    Sorry if it's been already discussed about it, but from what I read somewhere there will not be any MP (Coop nor PVP) for FC primal... Is it true? And why, instead of improving (FC4 PvP was full of problems but I really liked) they chose to abandon MP??

    its what they call focus. Game wouldn't have had such a quick turn around time, though maybe that would've been for the better, it's getting pretty close to being a yearly release at this point....

    ..yip focus isn't bad at all the question is if they focus too much just and only to achieve the deadline. I also don't like annual releases. Yes I wan't new games as fast as possible but only if they keep the quality and somehow AC and a lot of EA titles showed that this might not gona happen...so I prefer longer cycles with better products.

    I feel like far cry is a brand that could do with a bi-annual release, meaning every other year. Ubi's got a big enough bench that they don't need a far cry every year, hell even every 3rd year, let them really take their time with each iteration and polish it up well. I have already read rumors that whatever FC is after primal is already being worked on, but hopefully thats not out til late 2017 or even 2018... And personally I hope it returns to a modern-ish setting... and has open world coop...

    In FC3 I played both SP and MP - but I played FC3 3 Times in SP it was fun. I also completed FC2 but with FC4 I barely completed it. It was more than exhausting. Focusing on SP is fine for me but only if they keep up the quality like in FC3. However I made my point several times.

    Yeah man.

    As you know, one of the mighty companions in Primal will be a bear. Bears like many other animals must go into torpor, once they become active again they will have shed a large portion of their body fat without losing much of their muscle mass. This means that the Bear is still at tip top hunting condition and ready to consume more yummy foods. Primal is the same: we're going back in time, all the way to 10K BCE. FC Primal has lost most of its fat and must regain it. It's appropriate that we're going back to the most simple basics.

    As someone who really enjoyed the PvP MP in Far Cry 4 I am somewhat sad to see that there is no MP in this game as I think they could have done a lot of the same with Far Cry Primal but it isn't something I'm totally upset over. I still intend to play it.

    Hi Derri I remember you from FC4, though we never played together
    That guy and the bell tower... Hahahaha!

    For the rest... same for me, I'm going to play as well, but really can't share their strategy... In 2016 they say "hey guys, no PvP, no Coop, no Map Editor because we just want to focus on single player and can't manage SP and MP at the same time?"
    Really???
