    Honestly, not sure how much I care. I'm just glad it's being made! It just needs to be a good Far Cry game. Hence, Open-world, extremely expansive, first-person, lots of weapons (including some freaking guns!), lots of vehicles, 40 to 60 hours worth of fun-to-play missions, preferably a map editor with multiplayer.

    But I will say, as for multiplayer, if they can't get it done with a lobby system and decent matchmaking, they shouldn't bother. FC3 was the closest they ever got to a good multiplayer, but getting into a decent match (especially with friends!) was nearly impossible!

    I'll just wait for the official announcement from Ubisoft. I don't pay any attention to rumors. No point in wishing and hoping. That decision was made a long time ago.

    I hope for a modern setting myself no matter the location.

    The only reason thats being suggested is because it was a choice in a poll from Ubisoft 2 years ago and now theres talk of Montana, so people are assuming they're one in the same. Nothing about the more recent leaks/ reports suggest it's a western theme.

    I've heard this suggested as well and hope this is the case if MT is indeed the setting.

    Ubi is not EA, Far Cry is not Battlefield. Battlefield failed because that franchise and that setting don't mix, it was a different team making that and it's EA, who honestly can't make good non-sports games to save their lives. I think being a cop in modern day MT has plenty of potential to not suck.

    I'm voting for modern day myself, I think the time jumps and weird settings should be left for spinoffs like Blood Dragon and Primal and keep the "main" releases present-day... Although I have no idea what they'll actually give us.

    I agree. I've suggested this before, but I think it'd be a good compromise if they leap-frogged between modern day settings & the alternate settings. That way the people who prefer one to the other still get their games and they don't get burned out with the games releasing so often. And the people who enjoy both have a veritable smorgasbord of FC to play ( and even then they aren't quite an annual release just yet so it's not quite to AC levels of franchise fatigue)

    I like the modern setting. it's better for map editor pieces. modern setting gives a wider choice for map builders.

    I would love a western Far Cry

    I would really, really love that kind of game. I sincerely think that if Far Cry 5 goes full cowboy experience, it would kick Red Dead Redemption 2's *** with it's first person view and detailed environments.

    I got bored of the repetition that RDR offered, and the 3rd person didn't help either. Think about gun duelsl in first person? So much more intense, and shootouts in the alleys of a wind pined small town of the west would be lovely. Or probably I would just climb the rooftop with my lasso and use the height as a leverage.

    And the crazy mad-man styled episodes that Far Cry has used lately would certainly work well in a western wasteland environment.

    Being set in the Wild West would be fantastic, a futuristic setting would also be cool. I wasn't big on the whole prehistoric setting personally.

    I would also prefer a wild-west setting.
    Why ? Cause its a bit something new.
    How many modern fps are out now ?
    As we have the logo now, it looks more like modern 1980 and not 1880.
    Could also have been placed by Ubi by a good reason, so they can keep the fog until they rise up the sun.
