Looks decent, though if the AI is anything like FC3, then the gameplay will be horrible.
Thankfully we've had some modders to help fix up FC3. Maybe they will with FC4 as well.
Why do I get a feeling someone's going to make a fuss over the Monkey heads?

In the part where you were disguised as one of those privateer guys, if you killed a few of them and left their corpses so that they can be found by other privateers, they would instantly know you killed them and somehow figure out who you are.
Also sometimes enemies would drive their cars into a water pool, only to step out of it and instantly drown.

Exactly what I mean to the people rating me disagree^
The AI in FC3 was dumb as fuck. They always have been, even in FC2.
AI in games is one area in need of real focus. I don't want to fight the Himalayan version of FC3 enemies.
I liked the gunplay in Far Cry 3, it wasn't anywhere near as bullet-spongey as 2 where a guy in a plain shirt could take 2/3's of an assault rifle mag to his chest. That was just lame and combined with the fact you would get chased by a car that would always catch up every 20~ something seconds of straight travel, I couldn't actually be bothered to beat the main story, though with 3 I beat the main story and every one of the camps.
As far as I care, the AI in 3 was at least functional - I never felt it was broken when I was trying to use stealth or that they were rushing me too hard or being too noticeably stupid outside of mission scripts like the infamous infiltration one

Everyone is too busy ripping apart "Hatred" to even bother saying anything about monkey heads.
I didn't play FC3 but the AI in FC2 was pretty bad, no matter where you went there would always be a jeep of people trying to kill you.
FC4 looks good, though theres one thing they can do to make it great for me. Make respawning enemies to fight. It gets boring after awhile when you go into a fortress and kill everyone, then it's empty for the rest of the game.

They patched in the ability to respawn all outposts in Far Cry 3, so they're aware of the problem. They'll probably make them repopulate after some time.
Oh cool, there's hope then.

In a preview article (and the 1 hour of gameplay that got released by gamesmediaHD) there's a system to prevent empty areas- When you liberate a zone, there's a chance that enemies will come back to that area to try and kill the villagers. Stopping the attack gets you karma which also has a heavy impact on the ending AND on how often enemies attack.
They also got a boost to the AI- every enemy can do what ajay does except for takedowns.
I can't decide if the redone Gloria Gaynor song is badass or hilarious.

It's really hard to program proper AI that can function in every possible environment (especially ones as open as Far Cry games) without spending several years just on that. It's even harder to program proper AI that is actually THIS good and that's still fun to fight.
This game is looking to be pretty fun. If they've fixed the lack of late game enemies issue I'll definitely pick it up at some point.

I remember that being a big complaint in far cry 2, they ended up fixing that in far cry 3 and then that also became a big complaint :v:
Putting a lot of effort into the setting then ruining it by adding some shitty remixed pop song and background dubstep really seems counterproductive.
I hope you can get Ebola from eating bush meat in Far Cry 4, hopefully not as annoying as Malaria was though..

In Far Cry 2 enemies would respawn literally seconds after you left an intersection you had just cleared. Simply navigating the world was a pain in the ass because of this. Meanwhile in Far Cry 3 enemies were mostly relegated to outposts. Once you beat the game you discovered that you really didn't have anything left to fight with despite having a massive arsenal of guns and stealth tricks.

I'd imagine ebola would be a fair bit more annoying than malaria.
