Ubisoft reveals ‘Far Cry 4’ side content and details refined hunting system

Examiner: "Far Cry 2 contained a lot of arduous tasks such as repeatedly clearing outposts, attacking convoys, and more. The sequel fixed many of the issues players had with the system and in some ways encouraged exploring all that Far Cry 3 had to offer. But with Far Cry 4 releasing this fall, Ubisoft Montreal has had even more time to innovate and improve on these systems that it uses to drive gameplay."

Hunting was one of my favourite bits of Far Cry 3. Even when I had all the upgrades I still enjoyed sneaking through the bushes with my prey in sight..

Yi-Long3984d ago

I have a bit of mixed feelings about the hunting and wildlife.

It did add something to the game, as in you were always on your toes, and often you'd still be jumping from a sudden attack.

However, the very limited space you get in the beginning, with pouches, bags and wallets, could be a bit annoying, and it was extremely frustrating when you were in the middle of conquering an outpost using stealth, and suddenly a tiger or komodo jumps you...

Fun, surprising, but also at times annoying.

Final point of criticism was that some animals didn't react realistically to getting shot. As in, you would need to put multiple rounds into some of the animals to stop them, while I would assume that normally a single headshot would be sufficiant in most cases.

Although, to be fair, as in most shooters, the same applies to NPC's, and of course to your own character as well.

xSHADOWx3984d ago

Yeah I agree! Some very valid points, nice to know it's back though, and that it's (crafting) been refined and improved upon.

The Far Cry franchise has come so far! :)

oasdada3984d ago

no offense but i dont understand people complaining that games dont have 'nexgen gameplay' and on the other hand when dynamic changes to gameplay happen like random animals interfering is seen annoying and unwelcomed

Yi-Long3984d ago

That's not what I said. I said it added something to the games, but at times it was frustrating, because the way it was used in the game was that it happened too often that you were being attacked by wild animals, which wasn't very realistic (Tigers clearly aren't an endangered species on these islands), and in the beginning of the game you were always out of storage-space when it comes to money, items, etc.

@yi long

sorry bro but i wasnt specifically pointing at you.. its just the recent trend ive been seeing in gamers that they are constantly complaining about almost everythings devs are doing from watchdogs to the order e.t.c... i think i did kinda over react here maybe... sorry again if i offended you.. no hard feelings :) PEACE!

Clown_Syndr0me3984d ago

I totally agree it wasn't perfect, but perhaps some of these refinements will improve that. Id like it to be a little deeper this time round, maybe serve more purpose.
After all the upgrades, although I still enjoyed hunting it did feel pointless.

late but still a good move, oobi

InUrFoxHole45d ago

Seriously, it's great to see devs add things to older games.

OhReginald45d ago

Sony....you're really letting ubisoft out of all all companies to out class you??? Give us the bloondborne 60 fps patch....ffs

dantesparda45d ago

I second this (Bloodborne 60fps) plus damn, Ubisoft, you're doing great but now the last thing I want youi to do is mae Far Cry Primal 60fps and AC Unity

Profchaos45d ago

Everytime someone asks for a bloodborne patch it gets delayed 1 day.

ETA next century

I_am_Batman44d ago

They know it's gonna cost them sales of the inevitable Remake that'll probably come around the PS6 launch.

raWfodog45d ago

Good news for when, or If, I ever play it. It’s waaay down on my backlog list lol.

P_Bomb45d ago

I like these 60fps patches. Hoping they’ll do Ghost Recon Wildlands someday.

Yi-Long45d ago

Kudos to Ubisoft for once again going back to older titles and then offering a nice upgrade for free. I know the company gets a lot of criticism, in quite a few cases understandable and justified, but in this area of contintued post-launch support for their SP games, they deserve some credit.

Ubisoft Removes Nudity in Silent Far Cry 4 Update (New Info: Changes Reverted)

Update: Ubisoft has acknowledged that the Japanese version of the game, which includes regional censorship, was mistakenly released globally. The company says it has reverted these changes in the game's worldwide branch.

Ubisoft has quietly removed nudity from Far Cry 4 in a recent update, sparking speculation about Tencent’s growing influence on the publisher.

You can murder, mame, and viciously attack people, but anything that deals with showing a body in a natural state whether for titillation or narrative, is some truly terrible thing. We are so weird with our puritan thought process. Feed our bloodlust and fuel our enjoyment for entertainment of simulating acts of harm and murder, but god forbid you see digitized TnA. It will never make sense to me.

Rebel_Scum69d ago

tbh even if they did remove it, it doesnt matter. I dont even remember when there was nudity in the game. If it was there it was so inconsequential.

B5R69d ago

Agreed. It absolutely makes no sense

Also, even though Ubisoft reverted the changes that removed nudity, there's the bigger issue of developers being able to make large changes to the game you paid for whenever they want.

Stellar Blade comes to mind. This is why buying physical is the way to go.

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

-Foxtrot456d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor456d 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.

Profchaos456d 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

Demetrius456d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger88456d ago (Edited 456d 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.
