No matter how you look at it, Far Cry 5 is going to strike some nerves in the modern American (global) climate, but it has a perfect pastime baked into its gameplay to take that heavy load off...
Red Bull Games Australia spoke with franchise lead Dan Hay on the game's genesis and on building a new villain in The Father whose closeness to reality is far scarier than the fantastical Vaas or Pagan Min.
"And so that [idea of setting the game in America] kind of grew and grew and grew,” Dan continues. “And we started to talk about where, and Montana came up and we started to talk about characters, and we thought about Vaas (Far Cry 3) and Pagan Min (Far Cry 4) and when we started to talk about “The Father” (Far Cry 5), we wanted to build a character that would be believable; that would have a dogma or a belief that would stick with them; that they would talk to you about and that it wasn’t just as simple as ‘I’m a bad person, and I do bad things’. It was that they truly believe the end of the world is coming. They truly believe it. And when they talk to you it’s not just immediately one flavour of insanity, it’s “look, the end of the world is coming and I know you don’t believe me and I know you don’t trust me, but I’ve been given this mandate that I have to save as many people as I can, and the ends justify the means. So I’m going to take you. You’re not going to like it. But I’m going to save you, and when it’s all over you’re going to say thank you”.
Far Cry debuted on March 23, 2004, meaning that next week, it will have been 20 years since Jack Carver first washed up on the shore of a tropical paradise teeming with hostile mercenaries.
Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.
I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel
Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.
The 2018 first-person shooter has reached this milestone exactly 5 years after its initial release.
Going to have to try and get back into Far Cry. The formula for Far Cry may be fun, but it gets repetitive very fast.
Been playing this series since far cry 3 I love the adventuring vibe this series gives off even far cry primal is so good, but experiencing far cry 5 in 60 fps crisp graphics on ps5 for the first time is dope it adds life to it, I wana give far cry 6 a second chance couldn’t get into it at first I wonder if it’s worth it
Far Cry 5 Official Twitter: "You've been waiting long enough… Welcome to Hope County! Experience Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles … NOW! Far Cry 5 will also have a FREE WEEKEND from March 23-27 on all consoles & PC. Enjoy!"
Damn. I replayed it recently on SX with fps boost, and to achieve that they had to downgrade the resolution. Game played great but looked like ass. Wish I had've waited.
So you saying fps boost lowers the resolution to achieve 60fps? Cause that culteastwitch was praising in a fanboy cok suking way.
It depends on the game. Some keep Xbox One X resolution. Others drop to base Xbox One resolution and settings.
Nice
Waiting to play this on Extra but have had too much else to play.
So is this a native PS5 version or does the PS4 version run at 60fps on PS5?
As expected, Far Cry 5 will now run at 60 frames-per-second on PS5,
“as part of a patch that optimises the PS4 game on Sony's new-gen console.”
Not native PS5. But still looked pretty good on PS4 Pro, and at a solid 60fps, definitely a good experience. Sadly games can't break out of PS4 Pro resolutions, for some reason.
PS4 games can run 2-2.5 times better on PS5. They're basically just changing the framerate cap to take advantage of that. They could actually change the resolution but it might affect the framerate - it's not a native PS5 game so it can't properly take advantage of the hardware. 1620p isn't bad, tbh.
Was really hoping to read that New Dawn would be upgraded as well. :( Already beat Far Cry 5 + and only like 1 hr into New Dawn.
Pretty nice 👍
Now we’ll only need fps boost for:
Arkham Knight
Bloodborne
The Last Guardian
Assassin‘s Creed Unity
Shadow of the Colossus
Gravity Rush 2
Did I forget something?
The worst part about AC Unity is that it *does* run natively at 60fps, but only when running the 1.0 version from the disc. If you allow the game to update, future patches applied a 30fps cap for some reason.
I don't see any reason it would be difficult to just lift the cap that they added.
Shadow of the Colossus already runs at 60fps.
Its possible to play The Last Guardian at 60fps with an unpatched disc version too.
Absolutely. RDR2 still sells very well so the lack of a next gen version after GTA5 next gen is really annoying.
I don't think these guys understand the term 'believable'. Never heard of extremist christians taking over towns in midwest usa and forcing religious conversions, in recent history. Sounds more like what isis does in Iraq and Syria.
Seems kind of like the devs are trying to drum up false controversy to drive visibility and interest. I find the whole thing hilarious, to be honest. I wouldn't be shocked to find out that the whole petition thing was started by someone at the development studio.
