    A lot of information can already be seen in the internet such as the beginning plot, the purpose why Ajay is in Kyrat, how the country is developed, Ubisoft sent people to travel to Nepal, Pagan Min's interests, history, and how he is more evil than Vaas, describing the first five minutes in the game that we already saw, etc.

    According to Alex Hutchinson, he mentioned how PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players will finally experience PC-like performance and graphics. He is also quoted how Far Cry 4 is a PC-developed game at heart, and how the current generation Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 still looks gorgeous.

    There's a picture of the elephant gun, enemy reinforcements using the mortar bombarding the player who is currently infiltrating a fortress, and a concept art of being on top of a mountain with a beautiful view. There are more pictures.

    If the player who do not have friends online can call A.I. companions for extra assistance. There's a reputation system that reflects what kind of companion will come with you, and the higher the reputation, the better... otherwise ignoring performing noble deeds would result a random guy with a pistol and a knife. You and a co-op partner can attack guarded radio towers with flying buzzard helicopters. A.I. can now climb ladders. Clean kill animal hunting with bows or headshots gives more rewards. The pathfinding system for animals have improved, so you can't just stand on a rock and be safe. I see a screenshot of a guy dragging a body.

    They can't give any details about multiplayer, but there was a small, brief paragraph of the map editor, where someone developed an outpost mission from scratch.

    I also read it that the enemy could drive and shoot from vehicles, can swim and as KrAzY said can climb (the swimming & climbing works with some animals also) The outposts are not stupid this time around as before most had animals in cahes, I think gameinformer will cover everything in the magazine at their FC4 HUB, they introduce new info every couple of days.

    I could describe all the new pictures that anyone in the forum probably didn't see before.

    On page 42, you see a guy wearing a balaclava wielding a dragonuv sniper rifle.

    Page 45 shows the player wielding the elephant gun from a cover, shooting a sniper who also wears a balaclava and is about to fall off the building. The second picture on page 45 shows a concept art with liliypads on water.

    On page 46, the player is holding an MG 42 pointing upwards, and there's a second player Hurk aiming at a convoy with an RPG. Another picture below that is another picture of the environment.

    The next page, page 47, shows a beautiful vista of mountains, and a pretty big town full of buildings while surrounded by trees.

    There are 3 pictures on page 48. The top picture shows the mortar in action, along with mortar rounds on the ground near a guy in blue covering his ears while a guy in red loads up the mortar with another round. On the bottom left is another concept art of what we already seen in gameplay videos. The third picture is on both pages 48 and 49 and is what I already explained about a guy being on on a mountain viewing mountains and clouds below in beautiful vista.

    On page 49, excluding the snowy vista, shows a blue hooded guy with a bow and arrow quiver with arrows in it while he is behind a tree. There's a sunset at the horizon. Below that shows a man with goggles, with a backpack carrying his stuff while wearing an outfit meant for hiking up the mountains.

    On page 50, the player is holding a crossbow aiming at a guy wearing a red shirt and vest while he is about to hit a civilian. On the left is a guy in blue dragging a body. In the back you see a truck. The bottom picture on both pages 50 and 51 shows 2 elephants on a pond, in which I believe we already saw. On page 51, there's a picture of what looks like an altar with a lot of candles.

    On page 52, you see a shack. And a picture below that one shows both players flying a buzzard helicopter while shooting at a wooden Nepal themed radio tower with enemies in it.

    And on the last page there is a picture of inside a bell tower that has been desecrated, and players can scale it and destroy the radio equipment near its top. The last picture is a blue hooded guy with tattoos wielding a bow, a picture we've already seen, with the mention of the map editor titled "BUILD YOUR OWN OUTPOST".

    Less describing screenshots, more relaying information!!! What was that about killing animals cleanly? Did you say they did it with a bow? Concrete confirmation that the bow is still wield-able by the player?!? please!!

    The gameinformer article also details how important decisions are in the game. Players have to decide about missions, and those decisions are going to change the gameplay as well as the cutscenes.

    Far Cry 4 introduces the concept of clean kills into hunting. Players who take the time to harvest animals using bows or headshots are rewarded with additional crafting sup-plies, while people who rely on grenades don’t fare as well. I get a skin for my efforts, as well as some meat.

    Taken from the magazine.

    I'll quote it.

    "I take the zipline down, and spot a few tapir clustered in a group. My hunting instincts kick in, and I pursue one. My shot is wild, and the spooked creature run into the forest. I pursue and eventually sprint up to it and slice it apart with my knife. Far Cry 4 introduces the concept of clean kills into hunting.
