Lazy port. Looks like a last gen game all around. Far Cry is the worst Ubi franchise.

I think 5 was good but hated new dawn.

Name ONE other open world game that runs at 60fps on consoles that looks this good with a map this large. I'll wait.

Magog1368d ago (Edited 1368d ago )

Why does it matter how big the map is? It's not like it's loading the whole thing at once. Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, AC Odyssey, Watchdogs all look better.

LOGICWINS1368d ago

It obviously matters. It's much easier to make a smaller open world look pretty.

CantThinkOfAUsername1368d ago

Environmentally it looks good, but lighting, character models and visual effects look quite dated.

LOGICWINS1368d ago

I agree that the character models look dated, but they don't look "bad" by any means. Won't stop me from enjoying the game personally.

I was 110% sure that I was going to pick this up day 1 on ps5 now I'm.not so sure.

The PC tech trailer shows what the game is truely capable of and ps5 targeting 4k 60 to me personally feels like to much of a feature loss.

We know that AMD FX tech is capable on the ps5 ubi didn't even try to bring some of that next gen flavour to its console version.

Seriously not all gamers are 4k obsessed I'm very happy with 1440 30 with rtx or use insomniac as an example I played both miles Morales and ratchet with ray tracing performance mode which was more like 1080 60 with ray tracing and it was the perfecode for me.

This a lazy ubi I'm reconsidering giving my money up for lazy especially when deathloop just released and was universally praised maybe I'll get that instead and buy the PC version of far cry when it's at bargain prices.

Playdead co-founder slammed with lawsuit as bitter row with co-founder escalates

Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.

A handful of small redesigns and a pair of back buttons make Nintendo’s Pro Controller for Switch 2 a worthy upgrade.

I love this controller. Feels so nice in the hand. Plus the battery lasts for days, it's crazy.

peppeaccardo1d 17h ago

$100 ?????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ???????????????

1nsomniac1d 16h ago

Yea the pricing for Nintendo peripherals is a bigger joke than the game prices. What the hell were they thinking!

peppeaccardo1d 7h ago

i mean for a piece of slightly redesigned plastic with the same take of the last few years this has written GREED all over it ! Shame on Nintendo.

OMNlPOTENT1d 3h ago

It's $85. The standard Dualsense is $75. The Dualsense Edge (Playstation Pro controller) is $200. The Xbox Elite (Xbox Pro controller) is also $200. How exactly is $85 so drastically insane compared to those prices?

Neonridr1d 2h ago

the battery lasts like 10 times as long as a dualsense though.

Stevonidas21h ago

Not true; more like 20.

You may commence with your butthurt, ponies.

fsfsxii20h ago

It doesn't have analogue tho, sooo....

Tacoboto20h ago

$85 USD
or $75 at CostCo (same standard price as a DualSense)

Even at $85, you're getting 3-4x the battery life of a DualSense, and it is (by a HUGE margin) the cheapest first-party console controller with Back Paddles.

The thing is, over the past decade, third-party controllers have really stepped up. You can often get better quality, more durability, and stronger performance for half the price of first-party options. Meanwhile, controllers from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have become increasingly mediocre, expensive, fragile, and not particularly impressive across the board. What makes this especially noticeable with Nintendo is that they’re surprisingly open to third-party hardware. That openness ends up highlighting just how much better the alternatives are.

Chard1d 16h ago

Name a better controller

Vits1d 12h ago

Pretty much most things by half a dozen of chinese manufactures. Like, 8bitdo, Gamesir, Machenike, Gulikit, Flydigi, Manba, EasySMX, etc.

The exception would be really low tier stuff by those companies... those wouldn't be better, they would be about the same quality. But more durable.

Themba761d 14h ago

Best controller I’ve ever used I even like more than my dual sense edge

UltimateOwnage1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Having used Dual Sense, Pro Controller 1, and 8BitDo Ultimate extensively, I am pretty much in love with Pro Controller 2. The easy reassignment on the grip buttons is such a big plus, but the soft edge joysticks are the best feeling sticks of any controller I’ve ever used. It’s really an awesome controller. The HD Rumble 2 also finally has some thud and the headphone jack is great with a pair of good phones. It’s worth the slight price increase IMO.

Profchaos1d 1h ago

The pro controller 2 for me has the best weight and size it fits the hand perfect like the duelshock 4 did imo

I actually dislike the duelsense controller because of its size but the features are amazing on it.

Still as for the pro 2 no analog triggers is surprisingly something I dont actually miss

PRIMORDUS1d 12h ago

I have the original pro controller and TBH, I don't use it as much. I'm mostly using the Switch in handheld mode with the Hori Split Pad Compact Controller. I also never use the back buttons to program anything so I will not be buying this one here, so that will be $85.00 in my pocket 😂

Very good dev length for a AAA/AA game I'd say. Companies need to set an aim for this range. 1-2 is too little, I believe 3-4 is perfect. Any more is too much. Games don't need to be these gigantic games full of a crazy amount of content. Just make a good game.

Skate-AK2d ago

Lol. Had no idea who that was, but I will admit they do look quite similar.
