A Spaghetti-Western styled Far Cry would probably be one of the best choices for the next game. It seems to be a forgotten genre these days.
Why not everything?

I feel like Ubisoft wouldn't want that, as it'd veer too close to Call of Juarez. But then again they are making all of their IPs just Assassin's Creed. :v:
The vampire idea sounds potentially really cool, gothic fantasy is a setting not nearly explored enough in FPS.
I'd love one that would be based on all of those 80s action movies where some american military/mercenary guy goes into some south american/african/asian country to do some mission but ends up helping the locals fight against the goverment or something.

Isn't that basically Far Cry 2's story?

Or 3, or 4.
I'd love a spaghetti western type open world game. Hell, ubisoft owns the rights to Call of Juarez, just make a series tie in.

don't you mean just a western? a spaghetti-western is a western directed by italians
unless there's a ubisoft italy to make it it would just be a regular western
Oh please add dinosaurs. That would be so cool.
A tie in with Jurassic World would be amazing.

I'm preety sure that a Spaghetti Western refers to the more violent/action focused western type of movie, usually directed by Italians but not always. Feel free to correct me though in the case that i might be wrong.

i already corrected you, you are free to look it up
that's literally where the spaghetti part comes from.
Not sure how Vietnam in the 60s would play out in a far cry game but I'm curious to see what that would look like
If you go Jurrasic Park for Far Cry, you're essentially making the next Turok game.

spaghetti western did in fact refer to the Italians directing them initially, because the italians were very distinctive with their stylistic choices spaghetti westerns differ enough from american directed westerns to warrant their own genre. a western directed with the tropes of a spaghetti western is now named as such, regardless of the origins of the director.

It'll forever be compared to Just Cause 2.

Baguette-western. I am ready.
Or fromage-western.

nah. a lot of people just call 'wacky' and violent westerns spaghetti westerns because they don't understand the term and just assume the spaghetti part just means wacky. but it's a common misconception. it hasn't changed the specific meaning of the word. the tropes of spaghetti westerns are mostly very italian things, like how they would dub all the lines, portray woman as whores and mexicans as criminals and usually star the same handful of actors.
just because you hear it thrown around all the time doesn't make it anything more than a common misconception
like i said, look it up. it's not a broad genre, it never opened up after the initial italian westerns. it's still very specific. django unchained is not a spaghetti western

Except that FC2 isn't set in the 80s. That's the key part.

But they didn't have radio towers to climb up back then. How else would you reveal the map?

Yeah, in terms of world design and weapon design it could be like Hexen meets Van Helsing.
Say what you will about that movie, the automatic crossbow wielded by the main character was fuckin' awesome. Tell me you don't wanna see a weapon like [b]this[/b] in your FPS.

Honestly, Hugh Jackman agrees. See that face?

That is the face of a man who is in deep thought, contemplating the awesomeness of the weapon he's holding.

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger isn't ravioli western, but it's a [I][B]really[/B][/I] good western game, definitely the best thing Techland has made (considering they're the ones who shit out Dead Island and CoJ: the Cartel))
A vietnam Far Cry would be absolutely fantastic please pick that.
I'm absolutely torn between the Vietnam War and Spaghetti Western setting.

It'd probably be a fuckton better than the Turok reboot. God that was horrible.
That said, I'd totally go for a Far Cry game with dinosaurs.
If they go with a Vietnam, given far cry 3 and 4 and the mind fuck path they take you down, I can see it being heart of darkness / apocalypse now story.
You play a US soldier who goes MIA / AWOL in the jungle and go from there.

Kind of like an open world Spec Ops?

There's a pretty big tonal difference between A Fistful of Dollars or Django versus True Grit or The Magnificent Seven. I'd even call High Plains Drifter a spaghetti western because it's definitely in the same vein as the Dollars trilogy, even though it was directed by Eastwood. Spaghetti westerns may have originated with Italian directors producing low-budget westerns shot in Spain, but as a subgenre it's become associated with prominent violence and morally grey protagonists. It's become more blurred as contemporary westerns tend to be more gritty and cynical than the heavily romanticised image popular in the 50s and 60s (going as far as movies like Unforgiven which is basically a deconstruction of the entire genre), but the term spaghetti western is still a pretty convenient shorthand.
On that note, I'd definitely play a Far Cry Red Dead Revolver/Redemption styled game.

Though was crossing my mind when i saw the option, maybe. But ditch the squad and limit the ties to the US military so they don't get involved much if at all despite them being there.
I'd be down for vampires, but only if the vampire gameplay actually focused on vampire abilities. An FPS game where you just give your enemies hickeys when you're low on health would be a bit shit. Despite their popularity though they're really pretty under-represented in major game releases, the only ones that I can recall are vampire:the masquerade and bloodrayne which are super old.
