Far Cry 5 is not the game that many thought it was going to be. With its anti-government, gun-toting, religious cult and shift to a modern-day US setting, it seemed primed to tackle current-day issues — early gameplay footage suggested as much, with some dialogue playing off America's tense political climate.
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.
It wasn’t a controversy, it was a fabricated narrative made by sites like polygon. And then a disappointed polygon penalizes the game because their fabricated narrative was exposed as a lie.
Devs are fully welcome to tackle anything they want to if they address their consumers directly. Don’t leave it up to sites like polygon to do your game justice. All they do is create “controversy”. Seriously, it’s all they are good for. The last few years of media coverage has been utterly useless.
...but it sold series record high numbers & is also the series highest critical success.
Bottom line folks, media controversy is bullshit & a tool used to create hype & beliefs. Just play the game folks. If you like it, you like it. If you don’t, you don’t. Simples.
We have a modern day issue with cults taking over cities and mass killing people in the U.S.?
I for one, am glad that they didn't go political with this game. Hollywood is biased enough, we don't need the gaming industry to become consumed by one political left leaning ideology. I was waiting to see what the narrative of the game would actually be, and it turns out that the game is yet another fantastic game in the series. Looks like I'm going to be purchasing this game soon :)
It was never political to begin with. The cult is based off of the Waco cult and the leader is even wearing similar glasses as the Waco cult.
