Ubisoft Request... Wildlands Remastered for Next-Gen | Forums

[ArgimonEd]

So I’d like to expand this idea a little to see what people think. Rather than just Wildlands remastered, how about Wildlands 1.5.

What I would suggest is that we could have all the content from Wildlands, including all updates and DLCs. (Maybe not Narco Road), plus new content, new mechanics and new weapons, plus the select few improvements that BP introduced, (not the drones), like the injury system, the leaning around cover, (no drones), the CQC finishers, selection of knives, (definitely no drones), maybe even an optional better thought out survival system, better terrain movement, the rocket launcher, (only as a weapon, not an equipment item), single or even no primary weapon, ability to pick up and use any fallen weapon, without the equipped weapon vanishing and no drones.

Examples of new content that I think could work.

Expand the Peruvian Connection.

A Peruvian Cartel lends support to Santa Blanca. This could have two different story paths dependent on when the player starts it.
If started prior to removing El Sueno, the alliance threatens to reinforce SB to a degree that it would jeopardise the operation. If started after then the Peruvian cartel could be looking to take over.

Either way there could be a number of mission, new buchons and preferably and expansion of the map. Maybe even a region or three set in Peru that can only be accessed via air or fast travel.

Add in an expanded Santa Mueté cult. Separate from Santa Blanca but equally brutal to the civilian population, this could be entirely optional content set in a new region to the NW of map, but completing it could help to get the local population on the teams side.

Trains that can actually be boarded, interacted with and missions involving them.

Potential new mechanics.

Limited vehicles. Option for vehicles to be something that need to be cared for, repaired and fuelled. Vehicle weapons could have limited ammo just like any other weapon.

Rebel pilot. New rebel resource allowing players to rappel, HALO and in the right circumstances extract.

RPGs, both enemy and Ghosts.

Infrastructure destruction and repair. Bridges, roads AA batteries. Taking out a bridge could slowdown reinforcements. Destroying an AA battery would put it out of action for a period of time.

A base capture and loss system as suggested for BP by Vahndaar.

A vastly expanded set of team options. Full customisation, including skills and loadouts and a detailed team orders system. Soul swapping.

Climbing and rappelling.

Options to limit quantity of ammo, munitions, bandages, rations.

Ability to craft and set booby traps.

Weight management and movement penalty/bonus system.

Armour weight, protection and degradation system.

Working scuba gear.

Yes...
Maybe also add something about the military drug cartel (Soles) and their connection with islamic terrorists

That would be amazing. It’s probably nearly as much effort as was invested in Breakpoint, which is to say, not much.

I’ll take anything they produce that’s in the same vein as Wildlands.

Because they dont want mission on rails.
They want freedom and wildlands was nicely done.
If were to be added the good things from BP, it would be a really nice game.
I'd love to say that I would love it.
But I wont be able to buy the next gen due to the price in Brazil being over 5K

The PvP is dreadul in Wildlands... for me a remaster for that i have no interest in! GR2 destroys Wildlands imo better single player and far far far better PvP....

The only thing Wildlands does better is co-op!

Agreed. That would be the game I had hoped fakepoint was gonna be.





GR Future Soldier in Bolivia why not?

This thread is a reminder to me why we can't have nice things. Even a handful of community members can't agree what makes a good GR game. All we can really agree on, is what we don't like. It's no wonder that the Paris team can't hit the mark, if we can't even agree amongst ourselves what it is. All I can hope for is that they listen to the market success Wildlands enjoyed and ignore some of the detractors here.

That's the nature of preferences, you could never build one game that just suited everyone, it's just not going to happen. There are always going to be things we all do and don't like within titles and some will want things that others don't. I'd personally like to see wildlands done over and added to but also the older titles given new life.

It wouldn't need to have a full remaster. since it should already get a performance boost on the new consoles. Just release a massive patch, to upgrades to the charactersmith and gunsmith, that are worthy of this franchise, and it's supporters, and add supports for RTX, and improved textures.

....although a remaster could take full advantage of the new hardware coming out vs. just an "upscaling" of sorts. No doubt games will run better and even look better on the new consoles, but they were designed based on the limitations of the old platforms. With a remastered version perhaps we could see an increase in population of NPCs and enemy AI, farther drawing distances with more realistic ballistics as a result, a better damage model and so on.

Then again, would the effort be worth dumping into a rehashed WL? I'd probably buy it but then again, I would prefer a fresh, new GR built from the ground up on the new consoles that uses the original vision they had for WL.

Either way, I'll be playing GRW again once I buy the new PS5. .....assuming they are among the 4000+ PS4 titles being tested to work on it.

We have Ghost Experience to deal with the variety of expectations. As long as the game features are within reason i don't mind having options i won't personally use. But i draw the line at things like gear score and looting. That stuff doesn't belong in the game even if it can be disabled.

There were continual discussions before during and after WLs release where the community banded together and generally agreed on what they wanted in a GR game. Sure, there can be varying opinions / disagreements on specifics but I think there is enough feedback to understand what the community preferred (and still prefers) as a whole.

Don't get me wrong. I want a true GRW2, that takes full advantage of the new consoles. But until that is ready, I think it would be easier, and a better investment, to improve Wildlands, than properly fix Breakpoint, for the new consoles
