Is far cry new dawn an easy cash grab? imo it is. i created this scene below in the fc5 map editor on xb1x to show how easy new dawn was to create. this took me 40 minutes to make. the reason support for fc5 ended early was to focus on new dawn. it's a cash grab pure and simple.

90% of the game was already there, it's called fc5.Originally Posted by St.Million Go to original post
Long story short, here's what's been retained from FC5.
1. The engine and a lot of the base coding.
2. The basic terrain.
Everything else is new, new models, new textures, ai updates, new particle effects, new weapons, new voice actors, a completely redone vegetation, etc etc etc.
No it isn't.Originally Posted by AW LOST SOLDIER Go to original post
New Dawn will require NEW voice acting, NEW writing, NEW CGI scenes, NEW assets, NEW motion capture, NEW Marketing/Distribution, etc etc etc..... Which all costs a LOT of money.
It's very likely that new dawn was developed side by side with fc5 under the same budget. so most of the cgi and voice acting was done at the same time under the fc5 dev budget, but kept for a later date. this is far cry 5 dlc not a new game with it's own budget. it's the same team. it should be $20 dlc.Originally Posted by St.Million Go to original post
You still have to pay people for their time.Originally Posted by AW LOST SOLDIER Go to original post
Far Cry Primal used Far Cry 4's map.
Far Cry New Dawn will use Far Cry 5's map.
They will likely reuse a lot of character models and vehicles, character animations, etc. This cuts down on game design time and costs (which is why it's cheaper than FC5). But you still have to design and apply textures, terrain textures (like vegetation and water), structures (because although the church in the trailer LOOKS like FC5's church, in the 8 minutes of gameplay you can see it's not the same model). and a million other things.
It's simply not as easy as you're making it out to be.
I paid £49 for fc5 - new game with map editor, mp and campaign.Originally Posted by similarly Go to original post
new dawn is £39 not a new game with only a campaign.
now tell me £39 for new dawn is good value for money.
