    What happens to the Far Cry Franchise now that Alex Hutchinson is gone?

    Although the two titles Alex Hutchinson directed while at Ubisoft were, in my opinion, arguably the worst in both series (Far Cry and Assassin's Creed) does this now mean with him having left Ubisoft that we can have a good Far Cry again?

    Rumor: Ubisoft Tease Possible Future Far Cry Game or Remaster Using Far Cry 3 Artwork, just found this on the N4G website.

    ubisoft-tease-possible-future-far-cry-game

    I liked the story of FC3 a lot more than FC4's but was glad they brought back been able to shoot guns while driving, Loved the flags and snow setting, FC4 had some good stuff but Pagan Min didn't do it for me really.

    Not good enuf - both versions miss shooting while swimming and shooting while roping up/down a mountain - essential actions for a few maps I've seen but could not finish

    Hutchinson being gone will have next to no impact. He directed one game, it's not like he was the guiding light for the franchise. I preferred FC4 to Primal, but that was more because of the setting. FC3 I'd say I enjoyed more than 4 overall, but mostly because 4 did not improve enough and re-used way to much. I also didn't think 3 was the worst AC. I actually enjoyed it more than revelations, and every AC after it (black flag, unity & syndicate..)

    Also shooting while swimming makes no sense, thats not even feasible unless you have specific aquatic weaponry, which would be super lame...

    except you can't shoot that underwater either and it was basically something that was supposed to be mounted on a whaling boat....

    perhaps make yourself a little literate first? - no problem with wet guns and shooting out of the water

    I mean, i'm literate, i can read... this just seems like a very superfluous feature that is inconsequential & unnecessary. Also most of what your link says leans more on the negative effects of having your weapons under water than it did about how few problems there are with it....

    "ballistics change underwater drastically, however they will fire underwater if it's a semi newer firearm. "

    "A gun can be waterproof, however the ammunition may not be."

    Shooting an AK whilst underwater would be an action most players would do so rarely that it's probably not even worth the time to make it possible, thats my only point...

    Instead of being so smart - why not just accept other peoples' opinion?!

    So i need to be less smart to accept your opinion? I accept it, I just don't agree with it, and so I am discussing my point of view on the matter. Even if weapons can be fired from underwater, my whole point is that it's something that is so trivial & would occur so seldomly that taking the time & resources to implement it probably wouldn't be justified by the amount of use such a feature would get....
