Far Cry 4 Wishlist | Forums

[xChupa]

Don't forget to read the wishlist, ideas like replaying missions, open world multiplayer and dual wielding are already in the wishlist. Possibly one of the most requested features would be the return of vehicles for multiplayer.

Ah, sorry!

I can shamefully admit I didn't even read the OP, I just saw the title and signed in to post. I haven't posted here in months, I think I forgot how to forum xD

I went back and read the original post. It's a very comprehensive list! If all that were in the game I'd purchase no doubt. Either way, lookin' forward to what Ubi has in store for us; they've really been impressing me lately

I'm going to keep this short. Far Cry 3 was a good game but had much design compromise to be accessible to a wide audience. This is unfortunate because little to no compromise is necessary if you simply add an optional 'hardcore mode', or something along those lines.

Features of hardcore mode:

-Tagging enemies and animals requires film roll (ammo), which shopkeepers sell in limited supply. You are also not able to tag them by aiming at them with iron sights.
-Halved XP for all actions & not all perks/skills can be unlocked in one playthrough.
-All shop prices are doubled.
-weapon jamming
-Map/compass only shows vital information (i.e objectives, safe houses etc. Not loot location)
-Radio towers do not unlock free weapons.
-Sprinting is limited, though sprint duration is generous/can be upgraded.
-A large number of features from the OP's list such as side effects from taking drugs.

Most people claim FC3 lacked replayability. Hardcore mode will help with that problem significantly.

General wishes for FC4:

-More variety/depth to weapon modification.
-More perks/Skills/Tattoos
-More emphasis on puzzles, platforming and exploration.
-No QTEs
-Further improvements to gunplay (the gunplay was excellent in FC3, but can always be better).
-All the temples were a wasted opportunity for interesting gameplay, they offered simplistic challenge and lacked variety. Please don't be shy with world design in FC4,
-No Dubstep. A Creative, classy, varied and memorable soundtrack please. I remember FC3's soundtrack but for all the wrong reasons.
-Manual throwing knifes. Not the auto aim takedown one, but dedicated equipment like grenades that you can aim and throw.
-slightly less capacity for explosives. In FC3 you were walking artillery.
-plenty of stuff from OP's list such as prone position.

THIS THIS THIS.
Let's hope that Cliff Martinez will make a good soundtrack.

sorry if it has been already asked but i implore ubisoft to allow cut scenes to be skipped after finishing the single player mode at least! they really ruined farcry 3 replayability by not allowing this

• I know this has been mentioned before, but I would like to see options to decrease/increase the HUD. Maybe have a check boxes in the menu to choose whether or not to display health meter, ammo/weapon, mission objectives, radar, etc.
• For the map editor, MP, COOP and SP include plants that players can use to create ointments to heal burns and itches. Also include plants that serve to distract players (e.g poison ivy) as they try to snipe other players. Give the player options to issue orders (sow seeds, take attack/defensive position, patrol etc.) to the npcs that are guarding friendly outpost.

I'll be updating this wishlist in this topic again soon.

Options!

One of the biggest challenges faced by game developers is how to appeal to a wider audience.
Often any choice they make will appeal to one side of the demographic and alienate another.
But by introducing more options each gamer can adjust the game to their liking.
So instead of just having basic difficulty settings like easy, moderate and hardcore, which can be there too, you can allow the player to expand on that if they chose to. So things like marking targets, highlighting pickupable items, features to be included on map and hud etc should all be up to the player to change. Basically if you are thinking "should we include this feature or not?", include it always but make it optional (if it is doable, of course, some features cannot be optional). This is especially helpful if the devs have ALREADY decided to include the feature but are not 100% sure it will be popular. Just make it optional.
I for one love to be able to do orienteering when playing sandbox games and Far Cry 3 would have been a MUCH better experience for me if only I did not see the "you are here" arrow on the map screen. You can see where you are by the land features around you and if you cannot immediately than you can move to some high ground and check again. This would have been, I imagine, VERY easy and cheap to implement with a single option in the menu.

But i digress. I think that a game would lose nothing by having more options and instead satisfy more discerning players, thus broadening its appeal.
If you are concerned about making it too complicated make sure you hide the options under an "advanced options" tab and, for goodness sake, provide proper descriptions of what each option actually does (SO many games have explanations of features or options appear when you hover the cursor over them only to repeat verbatim what the descriptor said in the first place). A well layed out options screen that is not compulsory for casual players to go through (they can just chose between easy, medium and hard) would add A LOT to the game's popularity.

This is, I think, the best way by which you can appeal to both the casual and more mature market.

Inventory system such as the one in the STALKER series (has it been mentioned already?).
Basically having limited space and/or weight that can be expanded depending on whether or not one has a backpack, ammo belt, holsters etc.
Different sizes and types of holding equipment can be implemented depending on the dev's choosing.
Different difficulty levels would vary the limits imposed, with the hardcore mode imposing more realistic values.
As an option a penalty may be imposed on overloading the character in mobility, stealth level or health drop

Mmmmm, a good idea this is... (Yoda's voice)

NECESSARY ADDITIONS:
They need to have a server browser just like they did in FC2 and FCIP, FC3 was an absolute nightmare to find a good game and get a lobby started in.

Also the inconsistency between the map editor physics/visuals and the in game multiplayer physics/visuals was really annoying. A good example would be making a jump that you could just make in the editor but when you try the same jump in a multiplayer game you wouldn't be able to make it.

The map rating system is stupid and should be removed all together or at most it should just be done on the back-end, if a map is good people will play it (assuming it's easy to find a match!).

Put vehicles back into the multiplayer, I really never understood the whole point of taking them out?

Add a CTF/STS game mode where we can throw the objective like in FCIP, that added a really cool dynamic to the game mode and it was A LOT of fun.

ADDITIONS THAT WOULD BE COOL BUT NOT NECESSARY:
Allow us to put AI into our multiplayer maps, nothing would be cooler than being in a gunfight and suddenly a tiger mauls the guy you are shooting at!

Character customization similar to FCIP, I did not like the character models in FC3 so it would have been cool to change the clothes and gear to my liking.

Triggers/events like in the Trials editor, it would AWESOME if I could trigger a rock slide or something that crushes a group of people going for the objective!

PRONE

That's all I can think of for now, hopefully this gets seriously looked at.

Hey A_Combi_Stick - here is a FC4 Wish

If we get an editor and some fun game modes than put together an Orthodox style map especially if we get a Solo Deathmatch type mode.

That was a killer of a map.
I really hope we get some good fog - FCIP was excellent for fog and no other FC game came close on consoles, getting some snow storm effects / thin breakable ice for floors and walls could be interesting to drop into or shoot into shortcuts in a map.

[A_Combi_Stick]

Haha I will try my best Champ, the hardest thing is getting the scale just right, it also depends heavily on how the spawn system works. I will most likely remake it though considering I have remade it on FC2 and FC3!
