How Far Cry 5 Breathes Fresh Life Into The Series (TSA)

TSA writes: "Far Cry 5 is a game that cuts close to the bone. While it keeps a lot of the same over the top action, the silliness and ridiculous characters, it takes the series to America’s backyard and features more than a few quite chillingly relevant underlying themes. The game’s antagonist, the messianic Father Joseph Seed, stating “They will take our guns, take our freedom, take our religion” is a soundbite that feels all too familiar. In typical Far Cry fashion, however, it goes to the extremes. Take the cult that Seed leads, the Project at Eden’s Gate. While they do tap into very real concerns of modern day America, its network of followers in this part of Montana is so widespread and fervent that it’s unimaginable that it could possibly be real."

breathes.
I see its already been changed.

Cy2242d ago

So it's basically exactly what I thought it was going to be then; a bunch of french canadians who have no idea what they're talking about trying to do social commentary on the American right. Yawn.

opinionated2242d ago

Where did you see that lol? It wasn’t in the video, it says the opposite actually. The cult is more of an extreme and satiric view of the left. The “Yes” Hollywood sign? Cmon lol. I think satiric views on American culture by foreign devs are great personally. Can’t wait to play it. Yes we can! Yes we can!

shinoff21832242d ago

So what's your problem. Rockstar is a foreign dev and they nail it every time. Is there something about the kind of people the game is showing that upsets you. Lay on the couch and talk to someone. It may help

Elwenil2242d ago (Edited 2242d ago )

I'm really disappointed that this is only going to be 2 player co-op, the 2nd player is going to be tethered to the 1st and the story progress doesn't count for the 2nd player. Everyone hated that in FC4, I have no idea why they out all that nonsense in the 5th one. I think I will wait a few weeks before I think about buying this one.

gammaray132242d ago

i wonder how much they are getting paid to say this bullshit

Bimkoblerutso2241d ago (Edited 2241d ago )

I was going to say the same thing. Gotta love all these fluff pieces that come out for these high profile games nowadays right before their release. Also...at no point during the video was there any evidence of "breathing new life" into the series other than shoehorning in some ridiculously confused and heavy-handed political BS.

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot39d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor39d ago

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.

Profchaos39d ago

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

Demetrius39d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger8839d ago (Edited 39d ago )

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.

When you're free on every single service it's eventually going to happen.

Profchaos390d ago

Part of PS plus at the moment

ChasterMies389d ago

Far Cry 5 is “free” if you pay for PS+ Extra.

gangsta_red389d ago

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.

Demetrius389d ago

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

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.

blackblades403d ago (Edited 403d ago )

So you saying fps boost lowers the resolution to achieve 60fps? Cause that culteastwitch was praising in a fanboy cok suking way.

Darkwatchman403d ago

It depends on the game. Some keep Xbox One X resolution. Others drop to base Xbox One resolution and settings.

Knushwood Butt403d ago

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?

Jin_Sakai403d ago

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.”

Knushwood Butt403d ago

Downloading now. I might do a bit of pancake gaming this weekend.

Eidolon403d ago

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood402d ago

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.

Eidolon403d ago

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.

KeeseToast403d ago (Edited 403d ago )

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?

Welshy403d ago

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.

CML2403d ago

Shadow of the Colossus already runs at 60fps.
Its possible to play The Last Guardian at 60fps with an unpatched disc version too.

Stanjara403d ago

So why not unlock framerate cap on the latest version? Can't be that hard.

CML2402d ago

Probably because the studio doesnt exist anymore. 🥲

LucasRuinedChildhood402d ago (Edited 402d ago )

Absolutely. RDR2 still sells very well so the lack of a next gen version after GTA5 next gen is really annoying.
