    I said post-Far Cry 2, that a smaller-scale story should be told somewhere in the Siberian wilderness. With frostbite and the cold replacing the malaria.

    Extreme cold, excessive amounts of snow, blizzards, extreme wind. All while baddies who want you dead, chase you through the wilderness. As you lure them deeper into wild, you turn the tables.

    It doesn't need a long, complex, mythical story. Just a dark, gritty, simple yet compelling one. Less guns blazing, less dumb side missions, less mass killings. More strategic take downs, more scouring for weapons/supplies, no free guns, no magic.


    This series worked best when it evolved around a soulless mercenary, out for himself, and himself only, damming everyone along the way for the sake of his end goal. No morality, no sympathy...these last 2 have had the emotions of a lifetime movie.

    Horrible idea. I don't want a Jurassic Park wannabe game, I want more Far Cry.

    They're doing fine on the creative side. They just need to get better at the technical end.

    I believe this thread is discussing the potential locations for Far Cry 5 that were revealed.

    In my opinion, the only two ones that work are the Peru drug thing(As it fits in with Far Cry 3/4), and the Vietnam War(Seriously, we need more video games set during the Vietnam War, it also fits Far Cry's theme of exotic locations).

    Dinosaurs are stupid! Vampires are for girls and zombies are for DLC.

    I know this may sound bad, but for me I think it's all about what objects you'll get for the map editor (If there is one) so I think The zombie outbreak one may actually be a decent Idea, as people seem to enjoy making Survival horror maps using the in game editor, and not to mention if the Game itself was set in a city, being able to place tall buildings and what not may actually make the map editor more interesting, and not to mention, Far Cry games are usually excellent at detail, so Just imagine all the detail that would be in the city, a bit like a concrete Jungle.

    However, the only downfall to this, is that Crysis does this style with it's games so it may seem like Far Cry is copying Crysis, however, I like the idea, so Zombies for me, only because I love making Apocalyptic maps on the map editor, and if Ubisoft made the zombies different to how other games do it, they could still make it somewhat unique.

    I think my second choice would have to be Dinosaurs, mainly because there aren't many games with Dinosaurs in it, riding elephants worked so well in the game, so imagine how fun it would be to ride a Carnivorous Dinosaur into an encampment and just watching it shredding people apart in a first person (ish) view.

    You guys have to remember, games should be about fun, not realism. The games that tend to stick more to realism just Don't work IMO. I hated the SP in Far Cry 2, but I do have to admit, I loved the MP.
    I think Ubi doing a change like that in FC5 would be interesting and it seems like Far Cry is following a 2 year release pattern, so if it doesn't work, then at least they know, and they know not to make another game like that again.

    They could mix them up a bit: have FC5 take place in the Blood Dragons universe in Vietnam with vampires and drug trafficers. Kinda like a merge between Robo Vampire and Manborg.

    To be honest though no matter, which setting they decide to go for they should give FC5 a reasonable four-five years development time. Add dedicated servers, custom map support, IGE, and an easy to use lobby system.
