Ubisoft ponder the future of Far Cry: will it hold dinosaurs, vampires or Vietnam? - Sensationalist Headlines

I either want dinosaurs in a sort of A.C Doyle's Lost World setting, or an 1800's Imperialism in Africa setting.

[QUOTE=ironman17;46861676]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.

You could shoot an elephant in your pajamas, wonder how the hell he got into them, then ride a raptor through the jungle in search of ancient ruins while fighting off other dinosaurs and scared tribesmen.

The soul-gathering mechanic also reminds me of Painkiller, since both use souls to restore health and power up a super-ability of some descritpion. Huh, its made by the same guys who did Deadpool and the Cybertron games...

I don't care as much about the setting because they're (hopefully) going to do something new that's not a tropical island. They just need to wait long enough to make it feel like a proper sequel.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;46861316]i already corrected you, you are free to look it up that's literally where the spaghetti part comes from.[/QUOTE] You corrected him wrong, according to wikipedia.

Far Cry should do a western style game but with dinosaurs and the ability to make dinosaurs your vehicle. That can also eat people. Yeah I like that.

I want a whole game similar to those snowy Longinus missions of FC4, fuck the rest (except maybe for mad max style)

Pasghetti Western or Nam please. FPS dino games never work out, and if you're gonna do vampires and werewolves n shit which does sound cool, it sounds like it should just be its own IP and not Far Cry.

[QUOTE=ZeroTimesCookie;46861152]Why not everything?[/QUOTE] I'd play a game where a Drab-Olive clad dinosaur has to shoot cocaine-smuggling guerrilla warfare vampires in scifi Vietnam.

As shit as it may sound and I can't imagine it being executed properly, let alone with the Far Cry recipe, I'd really like something more urban. A city or something. I love urban jungles. Crysis 2 nailed the environment for me.

I honestly never played it, but heard good things about it when it came out.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;46861316]i already corrected you, you are free to look it up that's literally where the spaghetti part comes from.[/QUOTE] Spaghetti Westerns initially meant that, yes, but as of current time periods they more refer to the Italian style of Western(long trench coats and etc), and not necessarily that they're made by them.

I'd actually be really down for a vampire game... there hasn't really been a good one since Bloodlines. World of Darkness getting cancelled was a serious bummer for me. Now that I think of it, maybe Ubisoft isn't the best for this sort of idea...

I remember all the Far Cry dinosaur and jurassic park mods that collapsed after a few art teases. I'd be amazing if a professional studio would actually make such a game.

[QUOTE=catbarf;46862763]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. [/QUOTE] "prominent violence and morally grey protagonists", that is every western ever. as is the "long trench coat" thing. seriously, common misconceptions do not equal the genre having been broadened over time. people just don't realise the spaghetti part means italian. it's a little strange, so i don't blame people. people keep saying 'tropes' of spaghetti westerns and then referring to things that are universal to most westerns. it is like calling a movie european just because it feels like a european film even though it's american made. it has european influence. but it isn't. it's american. that's literally what it is. when you say spaghetti western you are saying italian western.

Why not make a Far cry game. On the MOON!
