    QUESTION: Weather ...?

    You know I completely forgot about weather?

    Coming from the excellent weather effects in GR:W.... I was wondering - are we finally gonna get rain in Far Cry?

    Haven't heard anything on this front that they would include it.

    Personally, I thought GRW was "ok" but it could have been better. By comparison, GTAV was way better at it IMO with the transitions, etc.

    There is no dynamic weather. The only weather you'll get is region-dependent (ie. snowy on the mountains), like in Primal.
    They wanted different biomes without actually worrying about how to make it work with a dynamic weather.
    I would have preferred one biome but with a proper weather.
    Weather in GR:W is indeed amazing but that's also a different team with a different game engine.

    When & where was this confirmed exactly? I've not seen where that issue is specifically addressed. I am not surprised by it, I've just not seen official word on the matter. The game is set I think in early August or something, so I don't know how snowy the mountains will be, and honestly, based on the last couple years here, no rain isn't even unrealistic, haha. (but don't take that as me suggesting I actively don't want rain)

    They had a rainstorm in one of visions in FC Primal...

    So they could easily cut and paste the effect. Surely not that hard?

    WHY does FC never have weather?

    3D Modeling is going rapidly forward! This level of computer graphics is possible today! They look like real! Far Cry6 must have it!

    Well for starters there is no rain or overcast states, the demo was pretty clear on that (no pun intended).
    You may say how do i know that there'll be snow on the mountains? Well, i'm just optimistic thinking that they'll do the copying from Primal.
