YouTube’s ‘Cycu1’ has shared a comparison video between Far Cry 5 and Far Cry New Dawn. Far Cry New Dawn will take place after the events of Far Cry 5 and Cycu1 has compared the exact same locations from these two Far Cry games.
As you may have guessed, Far Cry 5 and Far Cry New Dawn will be sharing a lot of map similarities. While we don’t know whether the New Dawn will feature the exact same map, we can see below that while the layout in some locations is the same, there are some visual differences between them.
Far Cry New Dawn takes place in a post-apocalyptic world and the changes that Ubisoft has made to Far Cry 5’s map reflect them. However, I was expecting a less colourful map than what we’ll be getting in New Dawn.
It’s obvious that Ubisoft wants to offer more variety than a desert-like post-apocalyptic map, however I really don’t dig the visual similarities between this and RAGE 2. This is a personal opinion so I’m pretty sure that other gamers won’t agree with me but still; it feels more colourful and “alive” than it should be.
Far Cry New Dawn is currently scheduled for a February 15th release.
Enjoy!

Sadly, it looks dull. In my view, the Far Cry franchise is broken. Has been since FC4 (included).
The first Far Cry was the best of the series but it’s harder than the rest of them. There were a couple of missions that I used a cheat on but the game is a great FPS and the weapons were cool.
When it’s the first it’s “somewhat” new and it feels great indeed.
All you have to do is crouch and tap fire in the head with the m4.
Did you play that game? What about the enemies that had riot shields and were bullet sponges and they swarmed you? It’s been a long time ago that I played that game but there were a couple of missions that I remember getting my a*s handed to me until I used a cheat.
I loved FC2, despite it not being a real FC. I wish they made more games like that.
i liked fc4 more than 3, better gameplay.
Man every day i find more and more on how horrible your taste is and why you enjoyed the last wolfenstein.
Been broken since right after FC1 came out.
Did you like Far Cry 2? I hated it. I don’t get why people adore it so much. it’s ugly, the AI sucks, the world is so empty, they story bland and the game is so repetitive.
Driving across the map constantly, having to stop every two minutes because enemies are chasing and shooting you, repair your car and rinse and repeat.
And don’t forget clearing a base of enemies and a minute later they are re-occupied with enemies. Ubisoft figured that out with Far Cry 3 and you didn’t have to clear the same base over and over.
People tend to like FC2 because of all the cool little details that the engine supported (see the crowbcat comparison video for some examples), but the gameplay itself tends to get ruined by some dumb problems like the unreasonably high enemy respawn rate, their high vision range coupled with being able to see through foliage, etc. In short, FC2 is remembered as a promising tech demo with somewhat annoying gameplay, and also as the most committed to its vision of all the post-Crytek Far Cry games.

Ubisoft has some really talented artists. New Dawn will be a delight for the eyes.

Can’t say how the game will turn out but visually its right up my alley.
Fair enough and I don’t mean anything personal against you. Some games that I enjoyed got spit on by the gaming community too and that’s just the way it goes.
What games you liked that got spit on by the gaming community?
Well, going back a while in the past Unreal II: The Awakening and Deus Ex: Invisible War.
Anything more recent?
Why?
Just curious, that is all.
Well, there aren’t a lot of games that I liked but others spit on because I’m generally careful about what games I play. My time is limited for gaming because of my commitments.
There are games that I didn’t really like as well even though most people loved them. Skyrim was mostly boring and didn’t hold a candle to Oblivion or Morrowind.
I’m going to say it. I LOVED both Watch Dogs games. 2nd one took colorful to my taste but still great game even though most in here would trash it :S
I can’t stand all the neon. Same problem with Watch Dogs 2 for me. Totally off putting. Shame because Watch Dogs 1 was great IMO.
Can’t say I’ve really enjoyed any of the art direction from Ubisoft since Assassins Creed 1.
Unfortunately this is the gaming landscape for now anyway. People will buy this game because……Far Cry.
$40 retail value and Odyssey is being heavily discounted and given out for free… it’s almost like Ubisoft was getting most money from the microtransactions. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for New Dawn 😉
From the 6 min IGN footage I saw it looked like another forest open world simulator, except this time you’ve got some weird instagram filter applied to your image. New ‘ghetto’ guns that you can’t even customize – yikes.
To be fiar its not a full price game.
welcome to ubisoft where 40$ is 40€ sand 40£
Don’t they have some kind of VAT in the EU that has to be paid? We have a sales tax here in the USA. It varies by where you live. My rate is 9.75% but Steam doesn’t collect the tax. By law I’m supposed to voluntarily pay the tax to the State anyway but no one does. The tax man gets enough of my money as it is.
Only £37.99 for the standard and £45.99 for the deluxe, well done Ubisoft.
Wildly mediocre game vs probably worse game. At least Blood Dragon was basically a joke and was MEANT to have the exact same map. Didn’t they do this with FC4 vs Primal also?
Ubisoft never learns. Drive Tom Clancy into the ground, he’s already under it so what do they have to lose, right? Drive AC into the ground. Drive R6 into the ground. Drive Far Cry into the ground. Abandon Rayman. Basically abandon GR.
I haven’t been excited for an Ubisoft game since literally, like, AC4. Not even then.
blood dragon did not have the exact same map, it was a tiny custom made map.
“Basically abandon GR.”
Still gets updates with new stuff
Oh, Ubisoft
And this is why I don’t trust games media. They’re all parroting Ubisoft calling this a sequel as if they’ve never heard the term “standalone DLC”.
Apparently a ton of the DLC I own isn’t DLC after all. /s
Fairly sure they mean that it’s sequel to Far Cry 5 story-wise, that is exact definition of sequel. Unlike Far Cry 4 vs Far Cry 5 for example which are just 2 entries in same series but have nothing to do with each other as far as story goes.
If its so much work, then why not just do a little more and make an entire new map to avoid the public backlash.
Seriously, what is so wrong with them making this area, that we all saw took a hit from the Nuke blast and try and continue on Josephs story?
I dont get all you whinny people. You all did the same crap with Dead Space to the point where you all complained so much the the company is now gone and there are no more Dead Space games Is this really how stupid you all are that you cant see that your constant whining is killing games?
I’m not whining. TBH I hope Ubisoft keeps this up so that their company tanks.
As for Dead Space. I enjoyed the first two and couldn’t be bothered to play the third after a couple hours of time in game. DS 3 sucked because EA injected micro transactions and tried to cash in on the CoD action fad from that time. It wasn’t people whining that killed it, it was EA that forced a major tonal shift in the series which failed badly.
If people whining causes the Far Cry franchise to die, that’d be a great thing because Ubi would be forced to come up with something original.
Its people like you that keep companies regurgitating the same game every year with as little effort as possible in order to maximize profits. The gaming industry has turned into the auto market thanks to the big companies like EA and Activision. Completely devoid of creativity and only looking to squeeze out max dollars from consumers.
I doubt Far Cry games are going away anytime soon. They still sell very well and that’s what Ubisoft cares about most.
Far Cry 5 was the most successful launch of this year until Black Ops 4. At launch FC5 generated 310 million dollars in revenue the week of it’s release.
imo this New Dawn game is silly but I won’t be surprised if a lot of people buy it anyway.
How can you be so deluded? Visceral shut down because of ‘complains’? ‘whining is killing games’? Visceral shut down because EA forced them to make an awful game that nobody wanted to play (Dead Space 3), simple as that.
Dead Space 3 was a damn turd. It was a disappointment in so many ways. One of the rare occasions that I started a game and didn’t bother finishing it. It’s a shame what EA does to Developers.
I believe they did make and included new regions/maps in this expansion. They are primarily co-op maps that can be accessed through a helicopter.
More people want a new game to play every year than they care to wait for a better one in two or three years which is why this happens. How else would Ubisoft get a game out every year without reusing ideas and assets? I’m not saying I fully enjoy recycled assets from game to game, but when you’re on an annual release cycle, I don’t know what else you expect from them. Do you think it’s feasible to create an entirely new game with no recycled assets every single year?
I like this “colorful” take of a post-apocalyptic theme. Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Chernobyl were nuked but today they are brimming with life.
Out of those 3 only Hiroshima and Nagasaki were subject to nuclear bombing. Get your facts straight.
I know my facts. I just want to lump those horrific events together in one sentence with just one verb.
Yep, this is how ignorance works and how myths are made.
They literally remove objects and place other ones top of them…and some of them are flying on the air.
Also have you not seen how they imported maps from old gta games to knew ones?
I finished fc5, had bought the good edition, but after completing it i didn’t even bother messing with the dlcs…
This ‘New Dawn’ thing is nothing more nothing less than a new expansion, full of loot boxes, microtransactions, gambling, special perk cards, hundreds colorful weapon skins, attachments, special ammo, etc etc,
with a ton of character customization, skins, emotes, salutations, danse, tags, with thousands and thousands of items young gamers will be able to buy.
YES, YOUNG GAMERS. There is a good reason why they abandoned the photorealistic graphics style, and are now using cartoonish, vibrant, colorful graphics. .it’s just a way to appeal to the younger audiences. ..
This game/expansion will be a mix of fortnite, overwatch, call of duty, destiny games, gameplay and graphics wise.
With, of course, millions of items and cosmetics to buy.
Of course, top websites, who receive free review copies, free merch, free collectors stuff, plenty of goodies, invitations for betas at the studio hq, free invitations for gaming events, conferences, shows, like E3, free maxed out in-game characters with unlimited gold, resources, etc, and they also run massive ads campaigns,
Of course,
They are going to praise the game, and give it 9.5/10s scores.
and then there are people like schreier, who walk hand in hand with the industry, who will even defend the microtransactions loot boxes, and will say it is fun…
I will stay away from this game, like it was the spanish flu from 1918.
