  1. Bullshots like always, game will not gonna look like that, and specially on PS4 version which is promoted by Bug-Soft 😛

      1. I know. Well, at least Pubicsoft is lowering expectation rather than showing unrealistic bullshots.

  2. Looks identical to the far cy 4 screenshots but with more buildings…also that airplane cockpit got me…so far cry has dogfights now?

  3. It would actually be fun if you could start a cult, attract followers, convert them and stave off invasions from the authorities. I want to be “the bad guy” for once and not part of some rebellion.

          1. Haha! That comment reminded me of a comedy routine from the late, great, Bill Hicks.

  4. kill white people because they believe in god: the game

    brought to you by reddit, black lives matters, social justice warriors, and zionists

    1. The irony is that the group the game targets is one we can be sure WON’T issue a decree of religiously-motivated retribution that will result in mountains of corpses.

      It speaks volumes on who they decide it’s not safe to mock than on who they decide to.

    2. Ah shut the hell up man. Where were you when Jason Brody was mowing down hispanic looking pirates on an island far away from home? Oh that’s right you were likely having fun playing the game, never questioning the notion of why you’re playing a caucasian killing loads of pirates. Complete double standards.

      Makes me wonder, when is it acceptible in your mind for a game to exist about white cultists being eradicted from the face of the earth? Do you condone their acts?

      1. There’s a significant difference to shooting murderous raiders and pirates of ambiguous ethnic background to a game that focuses quite explicitly on villains who are 1. American 2. Christian

        Being some kind of “Hispanic looking” pirate is vague. Hell, I’m Filipino but I’ve had people confuse me for Hawaiian, Mexican, Samoan. There was no flag-waving in previous games and glorifying the murder of a very specific group of people, much less ones of a specific racial/religious group.

        This game is explicitly saying “American Christians are crazy murderers. Go kill them, but have fun with it.” If you had a FC game where you chased down people waving a Mexican flag and slit their throats, I’d ask why their ethnic background was important in the first place, much less their religious affiliation.

        1. Ugh.. have you seen all the FC5 trailers yet? There’s a vignette which gives you a deep look into each of the main leads, two of them being white locals who are trying to rebel against the brainwashed ideology that are trying to divert and force Christian believers into their own faith. So they’re taking same aspects from the Biblical verses and making it their own. Which is what makes them a cult. They have their own set of rules and try to place the true Christians of that land in a bad light. These things happen in the real world today. Even with Muslism in the form of ISIS. If Ubisoft does it right they’ll be able to make people easily distinguish the differences between the cults and true Christians.

          My point is still valid for Far Cry 3 and before, the people you kill weren’t white as a whole. And it takes a white man to save the villagers of that island from the clutches of evilllll. I have no problem with it but it is getting kinda old.

        2. “This game is explicitly saying “American Christians are crazy murderers. Go kill them, but have fun with it.”” – Are the people represented in the trailer what you describe as “American Christians”?

          1. I can’t find my original comment to give context to your response.

            In any event, the characters portrayed in the game are waving an American flag and holding Bibles, so I’d say Ubisoft is saying “These are what American Christians are like.” I’m not a Christian so I have no dog in the fight, but if you had a game where Muslims waving, say, a Pakistani flag, were the enemy, there’d be an uproar.

          2. “I can’t find my original comment to give context to your response.”

            Hmm, Its rather simple. You were responding to a question that included a direct quote of your words… But here it is — “This game is explicitly saying “American Christians are crazy murderers. Go kill them, but have fun with it.”” —

            You avoided the question. So I assume no, your basic understanding of American Christianity does not include tieing up and torturing “sinners” , forced conversions at gunpoint, all making up a psychotic cult. So this trailer is not directed at American Christians, but a fictional crazy cult. No dog in the fight… If you don’t have even a basic understanding of the difference between cults and mainline Christianity, I wouldn’t be making such libelous assertions and portraying UBISOFT as outright attacking American Christianity. As one who grew up in Fundamentalist Christianity, and have family that would make similar claims, I can easily see what UBI is doing, and anyone who is serious about their Bible/Christian Religion would know the difference. Any uproar is persecution complex wrapped in facebook meme style information “research”…

          3. I think you just want to hate Christians so are taking a tiny minority of fringe folk that don’t operate on a massive level. They’re not like Muslims detonating suicide vests and running down people in vans every week.

            The United States was built on a foundation of the principles of Christianity. That’s why we’re a superpower and the countries whose foundations were built on other principles are third world hellholes.

            Using Westboro Baptist or these weird gay conversion nuts to paint the entire picture of Christianity is silly, naive and short-sighted. To even imply that your typical Christian is like–or would empathize with–the cultists in FarCry 5 is laughable.

          4. “I think you just want to hate Christians” – How did you determine this from any of my statements?

            Question: Is your (towblerone) definition of a Christian the antagonist portrayed so far in the trailers of this game? YES/NO

            If YES: You don’t know mainline Christianity.
            If NO: You cannot claim anyone is hating Christianity in relation to this game.

            “The United States was built on a foundation of the principles of Christianity. That’s why we’re a superpower…” – This kind of modus ponens, is utterly ridiculous. The Founding Fathers were mostly deist, they believed in a non-interventionist god, and would be considered “dangerously heretical” by modern day conservative Christianity. That doesn’t stop conservative revisionist history though. News flash, “In God We Trust” was added to the US currency in the 1950’s and “Under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1948. These are examples of how common misunderstanding of America’s Religious Christian founding.

            “Using Westboro Baptist or these weird gay conversion nuts to paint the entire picture of Christianity is silly…” – I really question your critical thinking skills. This fantasy you are spelling out is not reality. UBI is not using any of that, but has spelled out CLEARLY that the antagonist of FC5 are hyper-fringe-cult.

            “To even imply that your typical Christian is like–or would empathize with–the cultists in FarCry 5 is laughable.” – No one is saying this. You seem to be claiming there are people, but I see no one saying this.

    3. *ucking *etards couldn’t keep hipsterism out of this either, a hillbilly that is a hipster as well, ubisoft going full *etard

    4. Eventually things are going to reach a breaking point. My kids are not going to grow up as an oppressed minority in the country that their ancestors founded.

      1. Ah, yes. Be sure to remind them of the wonderful stories where your ancestors enslaved, tortured and raped the minorities that they purchased from Africa. Y’know, the people who pretty much did all the hard labour work for them to build the wonderful stolen empire you reside in today 😛 …. d*ckhead.

        1. Interesting history lesson. Why did you leave out that all the ships transporting slaves to the U.S. were owned and operated by (((them)))? Or that slavery is still going on in African and Arab countries today? Not that it matters, you aren’t going to convince me to feel shame for the amazing achievements of Europeans.

          1. He’s just a kid, man. It’s what public schools teach them. They have zero exposure to the real history of the world because their teachers are largely self-hating white Marxists that wish Western Civilization would get swallowed up by Islam. This is what they believe. He’s just parroting them, word for word.

          2. Thaaaat or I like to gather all my information from many unbiased sources. The hell with you and your outdated prospect on life. Go back to watching your beloved fraud Alex Jones monkeying about in front of the camera, as he reports on his all time favourite topic: Radical Muslims.

          3. ” I like to gather all my information from many unbiased sources.”

            If you think whites created slavery, then you’re not getting your information from unbiased sources, d*ckhead. lol Read a history book.

            >radical Muslims.

            Like the ones that blew up the concert in Manchester and are committing mass rapes/assaults and murders in every Euro country they’ve flooded into? Those Muslims? You talk about “unbiased sources” and can’t even recognize the elephant in the room when it’s on fire.

            Don’t breed and don’t vote. People like you have done enough damage already.

          4. There you go again, gaming community. Blaming an entire religion on a single guy’s action. Should I start blaming every white person for all the massacres that’s been happening over the last few decades? The school, college, university shootings? What about the cinema massacre? How about the 2011 Norway massacre which was religiously motived (and not by Islam :P)? IRA have been responsible for several terror attacks in the UK a long time ago. Last time I checked Irish people were white and are predominantly Christians and Catholics. Unless you wanna call ’em white n*ggers like in the good ol’ days of ‘Murica!

            I’m sure your basic response will be that the differences with those people and Muslims is that those poor white culprits were not okay in the head and needed professional help. That’s the same BS excuse I always see. I’ll breed and vote however I please thank you very much. That’s the white supremist in you speaking right now, telling me how I should live my life lol

          5. Born a racist, die a racist. Can’t say much else. You’re deluded (quite like the cult in FC5) into believing that America belongs to you and your family. And like I said they “purchased” their slaves. People didn’t willingly opt to become slaves. What kind of human being does that? And yeah you’re talking about kidnapping and trafficking, that sh*t happens a lot in America too. Perhaps even more so. I at least know that rape crimes are some of the biggest in America.

            Please stop sugar coating your past and just admit your people have done terrible things and continue to do so. Or don’t say anything at all and keep your extremist thoughts to yourself. My best friend is white and I’m sure if I get the chance I’ll make him admit the same 😛 Unlike you though he’s able to tolerate people regardless of their background.

          6. “the people who pretty much did all the hard labour work for them to build the wonderful stolen empire you reside in today”…Missed that bit huh?

            “the amazing achievements of Europeans”…Yeah aside from all the things your ancestors did that you vicariously take credit for…How about that small-pox, and genocide offing lots of Native Americans, or the High Treason against the British Crown to found the “New England States, or better yet that whole Nah-zi Germany thing…Crowning European achievements! /S

        2. Africans were raping, pillaging and enslaving their own for thousands of years. Whites ENDED slavery in the first world while the third world–consisting largely of African nations–still practices slavery, human trafficking, child marriages, genital mutilation. Maybe your public school history teachers neglected to mention that, d*ckhead.

          Kill yourself.

          1. Do you expect any better from third world countries that perhaps have been screwed over by other civilizations that have came and left? Most of those things still happen in the states. In fact rape crimes in America are some of the heighest in the world! And don’t you dare say it’s the filthy brown people’s fault.

            Well geez how grateful am I… That we were set free by the very people who treated us the same as dogs. Perhaps we should just stay in our place knowing how lucky we are. Or we can speak our minds if we feel like something isn’t quite right. Clearly we’re just going in circles so let’s agree to disagree. I’ll go end myself since you kindly told me to x)

          2. So now we can see that trying to reason with someone like EuphoricShadow does not work. In the end, this is tribalism. Do you want to live in your own ethnic country, or live in a diverse society where you have to let Islamists bomb you and where every level of major control is teaching people to hate you because of your race and religion? There is nothing to talk about.

            The white christian male villains in Far Cry 5 are part of the marxist techniques to undermine the national identity of a nation. You consistently undermine the stability of the nation by using academia, media, art, literature, and now games to marginalize the majority. These are the techniques developed in the Frankfurt School in the early 20th century. For extra credit, you can google the Kalergi Plan.

          3. Anti-white racism is the new hip thing. I’m not even white and I find it extremely bizarre and disconcerting.

            Even with access to the Internet and SIMPLE METHODOLOGY with which to learn that slavery existed everywhere in the world for as long as human history has been documented, leftists STILL think whites somehow exclusively invented and indulged in the practice. They ignore the fact that first-world whites abolished slavery and made it illegal.

            Even today, right now, in African countries, children are sold as slaves to Koranic schools where they’re raised to become future martyrs or s*x slaves or slave labor. But people like EuphoricShadow prefer to vilify the people(whites) whose very culture has cultivated a climate and environment that has engendered the creation of machines and telecommunication platforms that allow him to spew hate about it. lol *throws up hands* What can you do?

            Everything is upside-down and backwards now: a religious ideology that actually promotes dehumanization of women, actual rape culture and patriarchy is defended by leftists with the “we have to respect their foreign culture” schtick and the #notallMuslims thing after every suicide bombing or incident involving mass vehicular assault/manslaughter while–in the same breath–saying all men are rapists and all white people are oppressors. Oh, and hijabs are symbols of female empowerment… Bizarro World. Freakin’ Bizarro World, man.

          4. Also, when you distill the mental illness of people like EuphoricShadow, they suffer from a deep-seeded, irrational racism; a resentment towards a successful culture, as well as compulsive, undiagnosed guilt complex. It’s a way to virtue signal to “noble savages” that they’re sympathetic to the very illusory oppression that they think foreigners suffer under which is a result of leftist revisionist history.

    5. I took it as more of “kill white people before they kill even more white people” kind of thing. I don’t think the religion has much to do with it. They look like murderers to me, so I’m cool with taking them down.
      Crazy exists in all religions/non-religions.

    6. Wasn’t a problem when “muzzies” were killed in COD, Asians being killed in Crysis 1, and black Africans killed in RE5…But now! Ooooh now this game…Crosses the line!

  5. Loop de loop around the radio tower to reveal map elements.

    So bereft of anything original they are making a tribute band of a covers band of a game.

      1. no they are not sht they are objectively good, they are polished, well designed, have alot of content, the problem is that it is all been there done that, in the 90s we got a bazillion of diffirent games that did things diffirently, now its all the same thing over and over and over again. Objectively sniper ghost warrior 3 and homefront the revolution are far cry clones. Everyone is doing the same thing the exact same way.

        1. I think the positive comments well for the Farcry series ran dry after 4 and it was basically in drip-drop mode by then. My last FC game was Blood Dragon and there’s nothing motivating me to give Ubi my money for these new offerings.

    1. People have forgotten the very definition of joy and empathy. They seem to let their political stance get in the way of their willingness to learn and develop as a normal human being should. It’s really getting out of hand in the gaming community.

      1. U No tell me Wha I can and can’t do!

        If all you want is positivism, just go to n4g and look under any ps exclusive, you get your owerwhelming coke suking!

        We like to use our brains! And that’s mostly cynicism and pessimism.

        1. Well yeah I’m aware there are a lot worse sites than this when it comes to irrational commenters but it still doesn’t excuse people’s behaviour on here to act stupid 😛 Using your brain sometimes can be quite liberating.

    2. there’s a very good video on youtube about command and conquer franchise throughout the years, i highly suggest watching it to realize why people are so negative these days.
      i remember back then lucastar was innovating a new gameplay mechanic each time they made a new game, find me a studio that innovates, just one other than arkane studios which honestly compared to innovations back then they’re not that impressive either.

    3. Exactly! The cynicism gets to you after a while. I don’t know people here can stand being so negative all the time.

      1. That’s why I made less and less online comments these days. I’ve had enough cynicism for a while.

  6. I’m noticing a heavy use of a crisp type filter being used in those shots. That and it still has that last gen, early current gen look to it.

    This is ubisoft though, so trusting those screens from a game that’s still got 9 months to go (nearly a year away) isn’t a good idea.

  7. Maybe it’s using Snowdrop from Massive, since Ubisoft did mention they want to use that engine in other games.

  8. The screenshot is oozing with typical Ubisoft vibe: towers, a lot of icons on the map, probably copy-pasted portion of the FC 4 map, strong main antagonist you’ll meet at the beginning and the end. Also bullshot. Also number 2: downgrade incoming.

  9. so lets summerize:
    modern setting, cultists (white Christians)
    open fields, animals, outposts…

    it’s basiclly just reskinned far cry 4 with $hitty antagonists
    why would anyone buy this?

    1. I’d say SJW’s, but I just remembered that they don’t play games, they are all male power sexual fantasies /s.

  10. I am a white male christian. Can I play as the “bad guys?” in this one?

    I am just glad that the developers are so progressive. I mean, they could have made the game about muslim terrorists, given that there are daily terrorist attacks in Europe. But they took the high road and decided to cast white male christians as religious terrorists.

    1. Modern Warfare 3. And pretty much every other modern military shooter has depicted enemies to be arabs who are obviously Muslim. Please stop making yourself feel superior by acknowledging that you’re white male christian and that you deserve better. You’re not special kind, you’re an individual like anyone else.

      1. “obviously Muslim” No, it’s never ever made obvious. Stop championing people who’d deny you the right to play the video games you obviously love. You’re a piece of libtard sh*t.

        1. Oh I’m sorry. I forgot there are the Arabian Christian extremists who the mainstream always talk about… They’re Muslims in most of the games you play. Plain and simple. Even if they don’t suggest it or make any obvious hints. It’s just for the sake of avoiding any tention, with the on going conflicts still happening.

          Let’s say if they made a game about Nazis of today but they still carry that power to cause huge catastrophes like ISIS, then I’m sure any sane developer would stall on making any explicit themes of them. It’s common sense, FC5 not about about trying to appeal to a certain demographic (there’s a white hipster main lead and a local chick who play as the good guys) and trying to make the white man look like a a**hole. If anything it’ll damage the remaining reputation any cults have right now. Surely that’s a good thing, no?

    2. Because Ubi knows who they can mock and push around and it’s not Muslims. They know that if they made a FC game focusing on Islamic terrorists, Muslims would actually go out and murder people. This isn’t even an exaggeration. So they stay quiet and pretend the elephant in the room isn’t on fire.

      1. “This isn’t even an exaggeration. So they stay quiet and pretend the elephant in the room isn’t on fire.”

        No, they stay quiet and do the only sensible thing for such a company to do. Why would the company do that if it really did result in an outbreak of murders ?

    3. “I am a white male christian. Can I play as the “bad guys?” in this one?”

      There’s an obvious difference between the cultists here and Christians as a whole. For mature people who understand this and don’t treat it as an issue, it’s fine. Heck, there’s even a pastor in the game who’s fighting for the cause because ‘the flock has been led astray’

      Besides, it’s not even Christianity. “You are my children, and I am your father” – it’s a ridiculous, fictional, made up cult that’s so obviously different from Christianity. It’s a man who leads a cult, very obviously having his own version of the religion.

      Granted, I don’t know how the game will treat the issue. It might be that they try to distastefully push some kind of message. So far though, the trailers have struck the right tone with me.

  11. Dunia is based off of Cryengine 1.0. FC5 is using Dunia, but Dunia by now probably has only 5% of the original cryengine source code in it.

  12. Soo the rebelia story AGAIN !!! 🙁 In a positive side this looks way better than boring crap that is Far Cry 4.

  13. Ubisoft should make an ISIS simulator game. Its gonna like Payday 2 and you choose different locations to attack. From Nice to Manchester.

    There different characters with different skills/classes. But the most important role is the Allahu Akbar guy. Since he’s the one in charge to detonating the explosives and killing everyone within the vicinity. He always dies at the end of every mission. But if he dies before the mission ends its mission failed.

    You can also choose different scenarios/locations on how you can tackle the missions. In one scenario you could use a truck to bulldoze over the people. In one scenario you could detonate a bomb in the middle of a concert. In another scenario you will invade a nightclub and shoot the civilians there.

  14. Something about the screen shots is just wrong. Bad compression? Lots of super sampling? I dunno. It’s detailed, but full of fuzziness and jaggies.

  15. I like how it is christian cult theme they just seem to have more personality then pirates or army of farcry 4
