So I have been watching a lot of gameplay and am super pumped for the release of FC5. It really seems like the devs have perfected the Far Cry formula and I can’t wait to play it. They have tweaked the gun mechanics and added things like exterior ballistics and the ability to switch fire rates. The virtual landscape looks amazing and you can tell they’ve put a lot of effort into the feeling that you’re actually in rule America.
Having said that though I hope the devs can still think about the following things and consider possibly implementing them down the road.
-The lack of ability to go prone and stabilize aim is sorely missed in FC.
-vehicles max speed still seems a bit slow. Depending on the vehicle type s greater sense of speed would be welcome. (Could be an FPS issue)
-custom control settings for console players. It has always bothered me a bit having two separate sensitivities for the x / y axis like you find in FC. Maybe give the player the ability to adjust settings like ADS vs general look speed. Or the ability to adjust different scope sensitivity , or even the ability to adjust dead zone or response curve settings.
-FOV slider. I’m a console player and am sure this would compromise FPS, but the option would be nice if it’s possible.
I love the Far Cry series and really want it to be nothing less then stellar. I know this game will sell like hot cakes and that’s great; the devs really have made a great product for us to enjoy.
The prone posistion is a pretty good suggestion. I almost never go in prone posistion but I do see why those who want to would want to. It's in most FPS games for a reason. I doubt it'll be added though but you never know.
I'm not to sure on the car speed increase. I haven't seen how slow they are yet but I thought FC4 cars were pretty balanced outside of steering.
What's a FOV slider? Is that like on PC games where you can choose FPS and Res? I doubt they'd add that but that would be pretty cool. I don't get why most console games don't have that.
I agree about the level of excitement for the entry, I'm excited as well. At first I was on the fence but things are adding up to make me thrilled.
FOV is Field of View. This would give us console players an option to increase the amount of game world we see on the screen giving us more peripheral vision also giving us more situational awareness.Originally Posted by GeorgeFarCry96 Go to original post
I agree completely with the prone position being missed. I hate when developers don't allow players to do this in some titles. There are times when I just can't get my head down far enough behind cover, a ridge, being stuck out in the open, etc.
As for the vehicles, I have always felt this was one thing Ubi could never get right in their titles. .....vehicle controls, options and physics.
My personal playstyle doesn't use sniping, so I'm not really bummed about prone, but it seems an easy enough addition, and something that could be used for navigation (like crawling through small openings) that it is strange they've not just added it. Doesn't seem like something that would take a ton of work to do and you could just hold crouch to go prone so it seems like it should be in the game, I don't see a valid reason why it shouldn't be anyway...
I was glad to see vehicle speeds have been increased in this game, it was something I'd suggested as well. It's a start, but I agree, there's still some room to improve in that regard. I already know which vehicle will be "my go-to" and it'd definitely not the fastest one in the game. Might be cool if the vehicle customization allowed for things like adding speed boosts...
I'd also love for us "console peasants" to get some FOV adjustability. I don't know why they make the FOV so narrow in FC when there are a ton of other games that don't have the same issue. I'd love the option for sure, that said, I'm sort of used to FC's overly tight FOV, but, I'd rather not have to be...

I like that idea. Is vehicle customization in the game? You say "if the vehicle customization" which leads me to believe it already exists. I'm in the dark because I don't like spoiling too much by watching gameplay. It seems fitting especially with such loud and lavish cars that we should have a mechanic in the area or just a menu screen to add engine upgrades and have a personal car with custom paint schemes, interiors and such. It'll be huge to add something like that but it'd set apart the boys from the men in the FPS universe. Be a huge addition.
For sure there is vehicle customization, however we do not know to what degree. So far the only thing that is for certain is paint jobs, but there is most likely more to it than that. Just speculating here but I'm guessing we'll be able to add turrets and/ or mounted guns like the widowmaker has. If there are things like performance or handling upgrades though, that'd exceed my expectations on it, so fingers crossed....Originally Posted by GeorgeFarCry96 Go to original post
prone would be nice, but for me personally its not a big deal if we cant prone.
about cars:
this has been an issue for me for a long time in FC games: ACCELERATION (PC player perspective!)
in the last few FC games, everytime you hit the gas you go from zero to max-speed with in less than a second...
and there is only one speed: max
this makes no sense and it always felt REALLY weird to me, especially because i do like to play racing games too.
im fine with arcade style driving in FC (i prefer it actually) but its just too arcady when it comes to acceleration
I think their will be maybe armor upgrades as well. Making cars break down or blow up less frequently. That'd be cool. I also hope their is a feature where you can bring the dog boomer with you in the car. I wouldn't mind having him at all times as a protect hound.For sure there is vehicle customization, however we do not know to what degree.
