The latest entry in the Far Cry series takes place in America, but does it live up to the namesake, or is the series reaching for innovation without success?
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 have to disagree with this completely, I've put dozens of hours into the game so far and I only ever came across one bug and it fixed itself shortly after it happened. Hunting may not be "required" but its worth doing for the challenges to earn perk points and also to sell the hides for cash. And although fishing isn't necessarily hunting, its a really nice relaxing side thing to do in the game and I find myself casting a line whenever I come across a newly discovered stream, pond or lake to see what I can get out of it. Its not a prefect game but I'd say its closer to a 7.5 out of 10, a 5 is an insult and doesn't do it justice.
At least this guy scores according to his experience about the game and its mechanics and not because he is disappointed at the lost political opportunity in the story, so kudos to him for that.
Always that one review
