    TO THE DEVS: Will the Yeti make an appearance in far cry 4...

    as an easter egg?

    since it is the himalayan region, it would be cool if there was an optional side mission were you could track down and fight a yeti. you could make a trophy/achievement for killing it and perhaps have some sort of in game reward (costume, yeti cap),

    if not in the main game then dlc?

    a response would be much appreciated

    If there is thats not the type of surprise they'd reveal on the forum, nor should they. Personally if a yeti is in the game i hope they never even allude to it and so it's just a huge surprise for players...

    Don't get me excited with talk of Yeti's in FC4 - That rumor came about as soon as the setting was mentioned.
    I hope there is something in the Single Player game and agree with HorTyS about it remaining a secret or been extremely vague with the main game.
    For multiplayer I would love to see a mode similar to Predator mode from Instincts back in 2005.

    Basically you could have up to 16 players and the Mercenaries had to get to a generator and start it up to win the match.
    The Predators have super speed and can jump higher, they can drop from massive heights and survive and if shot or hurt their health will quickly rejuvenate but they can be killed if ran over - shot enough times or blown up.

    If a merc is killed they then go into 3rd person perspective view and can scroll through the remaining players and watch the game from the character they select including the preds but there is also a reinforcement station and if you get to that you can bring back alive a player each time but their is a wait as the plane comes in and drops off one player and the preds know when the reinforcement station is active so it is often a dangerous place to hang out.

    There was also a blow pipe and if you hit a pred with a dart from the pipe you kill him outright - each time a pred dies a fallen merc respawns, it was such a fun and interesting mode very addictive - kind of had a cult following, I believe Hunter mode in Crysis 3 was similar.

    Something similar with Yetis in FC4 multiplayer would simply blow people away that loved that mode before and with the game having mountainous areas it would be perfect for Yetis to attack from above with the element of surprise.

    The coolest part of the mode was when the predator got close because the controller would give out a little pulse and as it got closer still the heart rate would speed up - Predators also have a special vision where you glow in the dark or can be seen through fog and you leave a scent trail which made it easier for them so playing as a team was a must.

    indeed..

    The surprise would be ruined, if it's in there.

    I guess we'll see. Hopefully we'll find some awesome Easter eggs in FC4.

    i wholeheartedly disagree. if people like myself want to know, they have a right to know, absolutely nothing wrong with that. just another thing to look forward to for those who have fc4 pre-ordered.

    BTW MODS PLEASE MOVE THIS THREAD TO THE FC4 DISCUSSION SECTION!

    The only 'rights' involved with the topic of yetis in the game belong to Ubisoft. Whether they think revealing them publicly would be the best marketing strategy is up to them. Consumers have zero 'rights' about what is and isn't revealed about a game leading up to it's release...

    I never said there was anything 'wrong' with wanting to know, only that I felt it would be something better left secret. If we know going in there'll be yetis, we'll just be waiting to see them, but it'd be much more impactful if the player has no idea it's coming and then all the sudden are attacked by a yeti/ IMO, thats a much more fun way to reveal them, rather than just showing them before the game is out and lessening the surprise...

    If they have Yeti in there they will use it as a marketing for sure. But rather no spoilers on SP, only MP info.
