    Far Cry 5 Pitch!

    I'm a huge fan of the Far Cry Franchise! Ubisoft please take any of my ideas. Here's my short pitch for Far Cry 5:
    ------
    In the near future, time travel has been discovered.
    ------
    A group of genetic cleansers wants to hijack Humanity's timeline for themselves, so they attack a government time machine and go back to the time of the DINOSAURS.
    Perhaps they want to establish themselves as the only gene pool that can ever exist on the earth- rich, powerful, self-exceptionalist, genetic snobs with a Nazi mindset.
    ------
    A large military task force goes back to stop them. They know the timeline of Earth and all of humanity is at risk.
    But just then they are sabotaged by the same villains, and sent back a few hundred years too late. The villains have already been established in the time of the dinosaurs!
    ------
    You are a time/space scientist/ engineer who was sent back when the time travel was sabotaged.
    You have smarts about biology, geology, and physics.
    But now you will have to learn how to survive, in a hostile prehistoric time.
    ------
    What will happen with the asteroid? Do the villains plan to destroy it? Will you and the other soldiers sacrifice yourselves to ensure the asteroid hits and saves Earth's timeline?
    Or were we sent back too late and they already took care of the asteroid?
    ------------
    NEW FEATURES: Lots of dinosaurs. Tanks and armored vehicles. Drones. Some destructible environments. A T-Rex has to be able to knock down trees and small structures!
    -----
    I understand this is very sci-fi heavy, but I think it's fun and unique.
    After playing primal, I realize I would rather be in the dinosaur's world, then have dinosaurs in a modern world.
    Far Cry 1 was already a science-fiction game after all.

    Thoughts?

    Have you played Far Cry: Blood Dragon? It is basically most of what you described!

    Haha what bothers you about it so much?

    Do you want Dinosaurs? I feel that 3 and 4 did the modern day rebellion thing already, which is why I want to see something different. And wouldn't it be more fun to be in a prehistoric dinosaur world than a modern one?

    I think this ultimately fits the formula pretty well. Two warring factions, a hostile environment full of wild animals, survival skills and gadgets, and you play as a misfit learning to be a warrior.
    What did you think of Primal? Did you like that that changed the formula quite a bit?
