    ‘Far Cry 4’ side content and details refined hunting system

    Side content is incredibly important in open world games.

    Far Cry 2 contained a lot of arduous tasks such as repeatedly clearing outposts, attacking convoys, and more. The sequel fixed many of the issues players had with the system and in some ways encouraged exploring all that Far Cry 3 had to offer. But with Far Cry 4 releasing this fall, Ubisoft Montreal has had even more time to innovate and improve on these systems that it uses to drive gameplay.

    "We take the same basics as Far Cry 3," says narrative director Mark Thompson. "We have towers, outposts, we obviously still have the same ecosystem for hunting. Like in Far Cry 3, all of that stuff is inward facing in terms of the progression.

    "Everything you do in the open-world feeds into the player-progression, so there’s a natural motivation and reward for everything you do. You need better equipment so you hunt for animals; you need more XP to get better skills to take on the harder outposts."

    "We know that formula works and it’s pretty powerful," Thompson admits.

    But you can't just keep the same formula over time without falling behind, some innovations are needed.

    "We wanted to keep that sacred," he asserts, "but also add new side quests and new opportunities."

    An example of this is the refined hunting system that now rewards players based on how clean the kills are.

    "We refined the hunting system. In Far Cry 3, you could hunt with an RPG and you could hunt with grenades," says Thompson as he smirks, "which when you think about it logically it’s weird because the hide from a deer would not be intact after a RPG hit it.

    "We've refined the hunting system to promote and reward more careful hunting. If you were wanting to get immersed in hunting, you can go with the bow, craft the right potions or sneak up on the deer and take a headshot, allowing you to get the good hide and craft the materials."

    Just as with Far Cry 3, players will need to go hunting if they wish to increase the number of pouches they can carry.

    "When you start the game, you can only carry one weapon, you can’t carry much ammunition and you only have a certain sized loot bag. All of that stuff pushes you to go in the open-world and hunt for the right animals and find the right materials so you can craft the upgrades."

    You know. This is going to sound dumb and it might be, but maybe the game should encourage you to to hunt with the RPG. I mean it's more fun and inventive then using the boring old bow and arrow. :P

    You watch your mouth!!! What'd really add to the hunting would be realistic locational damage. head/ heart shots should be a one hit kill, leg shots should injure/ hobble animals and in all cases any non-fatal shots should cause blood trails for tracking...

    Far Cry 4: Introducing New Hunting Approach and Advanced Weapons

    Posted by: Ashkan Khani Posted date: July 21, 2014 In: Technology

    Exploring the new world of Far Cry 4, is going to be a treat for adventure lovers as Ubisoft has inculcated a new ‘grappling hook’ in the game cosmetics. It will allow you to move among the rocks and pretend to be a broad daylight Batman! If you want to escape from the oncoming enemy quickly, you can take the help of gyrocopters and wing suits.


    Descending to the ground where the actual action takes place, Far Cry 4 promises a thrilling experience as you will be able to use weapons while driving swiftly and even switch directly from, vehicle-to-vehicle by jumping. There is an option to kill the breaks of an enemy vehicle and send them crashing into the surroundings. Elephants can be used as suicide bombers as you can tie a bunch of C4 into their snout and send them rushing into enemy territory – The game cannot get more interesting than this.

    Mark Thompson, the narrative director of Far Cry 4has given his insights on the reworked hunting system of the game. Although the idea of the game’s design comes from the previous series, Far Cry 4 has been made more realistic as you can choose to go hunting with a bow or a gun. Wildlife plays an important part in the game’s progress as you can craft upgrades with the acquired materials from hunting animals.


    Reports claim that the gameplay at 1080p is very smooth at 30 FPS but very rarely the FPS drops to 20 (There is no lag). Ubisoft continues to inspire gamers, year after year with their legendary innovations. No matter how many times you play Far Cry 3, you will never get bored – the same will apply to Far Cry 4 and we can vouch for it even before the release.
