far cry 5 is entering a world where every Zenimax game in the last 2 years has eaten their lunch so I hope the "wild west setting" is true because gently caress another game on an island of malaysian locals who hate your guts

My money is on a "modern western" setup where you play a cop in deep rural middle of nowhere USA & the area is occupied by some sort of cult/militia . I just can't picture the game in an urban setting

edit: and honestly I'd be tempted. Dicking around in Blaine County in San Andreas was always my favorite part of the game

It should be Hell or High Water: The Game where instead of dealing with cops and wanted levels all the civvies pull out their guns at the first sign of trouble.

Hell or High Water is a loving awesome movie. And not just because it's the first neo-western with vaping in it.

Ubisoft's entire shtick is making easily identifiable, accessible games that millions of people will play. We don't have to live in continual amazement that their games are very middle of the road and formulaic because that is their entire goal.
It was cool that they funded the 2 recent Raymans despite them selling like 20 total copies.

I really liked Sands of Time, and at least some of Splinter Cell. The mass market loving sucks.

I'm sure Ubisoft's myriad game systems will apply wonderfully to the setting and make for a memorable experience.

There are plenty of good western games up to and including Ubisoft's own published Call of Juarez: Gunslinger.

Releasing a big western game when the biggest name in games is also releasing one is going to invite a lot of unflattering comparisons unless they have massively stepped up their game from the last Far Cry games.

Rumor I've heard is that FC5 will be set in Montana, you play as some sort of police officer, and the bad guys are crazy, nationalist militia-types. Which fits with the Red, White & Blue logo treatment. Exact time period is uncertain, probably modern, though I'm an idiot so I'm holding out for at least somewhat futuristic.

Dunno how they're gonna justify the whole hunting and crafting system though. Why not just go to the mall?

Not really. It's mostly just RDR, Gunslinger, the wild west levels in Timesplitters and maybe that one vampire western game that played like Halo.

GUN was clunky poo poo that reused it's few areas constantly. It was only notable because it was a open world cowboy game in the time before RDR.

When you make a western game, it shouldn't be hilariously obvious that you built it on the same engine you used for Tony Hawk games.

Or Red Dead Revolver, a game where you shoot up cartoon caricatures of general Classical US Westerns/Spaghetti Westerns and is also scored with real old spaghetti western music

Production at Rockstar is similar to Ubisoft in that there is one lead studio in charge of the direction the game but all studios contribute to development due to the scope of the game. Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3, and Grand Theft Auto 5 all had Rockstar North, Rockstar San Deigo, Rockstar New Yock City, Rockstar Leeds, and Rockstar Toronto work on them in different roles. After Max Payne 3 shipped, studios no longer specialize in a specific discipline and instead do whatever needs doing, such as asset creation or multiplayer testing.
