Far Cry Primal Takes You to the Stone Age in February 2016

Looks pretty damn awesome

Looks good. But the only games I care about in February 2016 are Gravity Rush Remastered and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

If its got open world mp, its a day one buy. Taking down mammoths with spears? Count me in.

So nobody else is concerned this "full game" is only being announced 4 1/2 months before the release date? Not every game needs to be FFXV or DNF but I'd expect an E3 trailer for a Feb game if there was anything to get excited about.

Far Cry: Naked and Afraid.

Edit: And kudos to whoever said "From Dust" earlier. This could be the sequel w/ those people and the music.

"and Ubisoft Kiev"

Why do I have a sudden urge to eat some chicken?

@get2sammyb Pterodactyls for the buzzer? lol

@get2sammyb So what could have been a $10 skin DLC pack will be a $60 game instead?

How long until they remake it in 3rd person view and call it Assassins Creed: Primal?

It looks ok, but when it takes 2 years for No Man's Sky and however long Horizon Dawn Zero is going to take, 4 1/2 months leaves me unimpressed and thinking $15 DL. Maybe I'm just getting burned out on killing animals in the wild, seems like a small part of Tomb Raider expanded into a full game. I wonder how many games like this the 3, or 4, Avatar sequels will produce?

They can keep it. Never want to see Far Cry again after 4.

@rjejr What does 4 1/2 months have to do with the quality of the game? This may have been in development since 2001 for all you know.

There is no correlation between the timing of a game announcement and the quality of said game.

I'll wait until I can get it cheap as I only recently played Far Cry 4. I think I'll be getting Mirror's Edge Catalyst though.

This game will have to take a back seat until late 2016 in afraid. February will be Deus Ex and Gravity Rush for me, followed by Uncharted 4 in March.

I'm interested for sure, but curious as to how it will play. Need to see more.

not interested but like the idea of a stone age open world game

I LOVE FC games The World looks to much like FC4 tho But will still buy it.

This is going to be awesome!. It probably didn't take long because they already have far cry 4. So its basically just a new coat of paint. My freinds and i had a blast with 4. I'm getting this day 1.

Loved farcry 4 but was hoping the next one would be a fully built up city. I guess homefront we take that position for me now when it comes out.

This is going to under cut the hype that horizon zero dawn will provide, since they will be very similar...

I wonder how they'll incorporate all the Ubisoft open-world staples into the stone age.
Treasure chests didn't exist yet, right?

@RaymanFan2
Time travel or aliens, it's the only solution

@Dodoo - "There is no correlation between the timing of a game announcement and the quality of that game"

OK, then name 1 big hit game that released less than 5 months after it was announced. There are hardly any games anymore that get announced at E3 and make i tout the same year. I think Ubi's Child of Light had a longer lead in than that and it was a $15 download. Even the proliferation of toys-to-life and Lego games give more heads up than that.

@get2sammyb I loved the first Mirror's Edge. Catalyst looks like it will hopefully fix its flaws.

@rjejr Well, fallout 4 was just recently announced, and I think we can all agree it will be a hit. Same way they did Fallout 3 as well. Not all companies announce games years before they release, although Ubi generally does. It's funny, bc everyone complains that companies announce games to far out, but when they wait, some people complain it is to close to the release to be just announcing it. Maybe look at the bright side here and say that Ubi learned their lessons showing to much to early, like what happened with watch dogs. Just my opinion.

I personally hope companies buck the trend of announcing games early in development. To much time between announcing a game and releasing a game seems to hurt more than help, and can lead to unrealistic expectations. It is good to build up some hype, but not 2 or 3 years worth, IMO.

@rjejr I would also argue that at this point the early announcement/long wait for No Mans Sky is actually hurting that game. Some folks have become disinterested, but most have created an unachievable level of expectation for what the game should be. IMO it would have been better off being announced less than a year ago, not almost 2 years.

The concept is really cool but I usually used a gun in farcry over melee or arrows, would need it cheap or at least a demo before committing to anything.

@rjejr fallout 4 was only announced this summer and will be out Nov 10. I bet that will be a hit. They already have the engine on ps4 so it probably doesn't take as long to make another game with a lot of the same elements and mechanics.

@rjejr sorry I just realized that someone had already made my point. Didn't mean to keep harping on you.

"Where's your money going?"

All three.

Gotta love those bullshots.

@SonyInfinity Well advertising a game too early can certainly hurt, Duke Nukem Forever, The Last Guardian, which Sony later admitted wasn't even running on a PS3 when they showed it. FFXIII vs, since renamed FFXV. But I also think the time can be too short to build up hype, depending on the game. For me, anything approaching AAA should probably be announced at E3 if being released w/in the next 12 months. Maybe that's why I don't see Fallout 4 as an issue b/c it was announced at E3 for a holiday release, so it was given proper exposure and hype b/c of the way the game was presented. If FC:Primal had a big presentation durin glast weeks show, or during the upcoming Paris show it would be sen as something worthy to be hype dover. A random trailer at a random time doesn't excite me.

So I guess it's a combination of the presentation and the time frame, not just the time frame, so I'll correct myself on the time in light of Fallout 4. Why not wait until Paris and do it up right?

@kyleforrester87 Do COD games even need to be announced? They could probably be announced a week before, just send out a date on twitter, and they'll sell. Though people would aks - why wasn't there a big presentation about this game, what's wrong with it? You can see my explanation of this point further in the longer post I just finished writing above this one.

I liked far cry 4 but will need to see more. For me this sounds like a game I'll buy at gamestop used. I bought FC4 at launch and didn't play it for 5 months cause of my backlog and I can definitely see a repeat here.

@kyleforrester87 - "and I doubt it'll make much difference"

No probably not. 2 months from now everyone will just misremember it being announced at last E3 anyway.

Not many games catch my attention these days, but this one definitely did! I'm going to keep an eye on it even though I've never gotten into the Far Cry series of games. This one intrigues me though because I'm interested in that period of time.

Loved Far Cry 4 (and 3 for that matter) and can't wait to see more of this. This is gonna be heavily focused on survival and crafting, so no more buying ammunition off vendors and traveling merchants (though perhaps there would be such possibility?).

@get2sammyb Same happened with Blood Dragon, I suppose. I had trouble convincing my friends Blood Dragon was real, because it was announced on APRIL FOOLS DAY. Ubisoft make some questionable decisions sometimes.
