I feel a weird tingling sensation in my gut... could this be... actual hype for a Far Cry game?

Realtalk, I don't know that I'll get this one. I liked FC3, and liked FC4 more because it was basically an improved version of FC4 but at the same time I felt like the next game had to be very different and it looks like this one won't be. Specifically, I wanted the next game to NOT be set in modern times because I'm fed up of shooting SCARs and AKMs and want more, better movement options. My dream FC game would be a sci-fi frontier game where you're hunting exotic alien beasts and have a jet pack.

For whatever reason Ubisoft never veers too far into fantastical settings. Even their vikings vs. knights vs. samurai game doesn't get particularly crazy with hadouken attacks or anything like that.

Far Cry 2 let you choose your character and all it did was change your forearms and the sounds you made when you were shot. It also meant that yur buddies were the other characters so you ended up learning more about them.

In general it feels like this is returning to some of the stuff they were trying to pull off in 2, so I'm excited.

Go the other direction and set Far Cry 6 in Belgian Congo or one of the Indochina Wars. Don't let the player be white.

Did FC2 have cut-scenes that showed the player character off though? Because otherwise I'd assume customizing the forearms meant you were creating the entire character.

As your model in FPS games was usually just a floating pair of arms, a torso and maybe a set of legs if you were really lucky.

definitely more of branch Dravidian mixed with prepper type militias than white supremist/alt right types. looks interesting plus customization character.

The remake also has the eternal problem of the fact that no matter whether or not the new battle system works out, there will still be a large section of people upset they didn't stick to turn-based. Like they wanted basically FF7, but with the most advanced graphics possible, but with the same game-play they remember, but also the game-play is improved enough to feel like a AAA modern game.

A fully open-world and totally linear experience w/carefully crafted set pieces.

I suppose they're counting on people buying the KH PS5 remasters before releasing KH3.

I can't even joke about this anymore. They're clowns. This is hilarious. I'm probably going to be in my forties before I get to play KH3. Holy crap.

I just love how nonchalant the article makes them sound too. "3 years or so".

I'm not angry, I don't have any stakes in this. But they're completely insane.

square enix seems to be pretty crap dev and sligtly better publisher. then again i have never been a big fan, liked kingdom hearts when i was younger and i gave the new final fantasy a shot(its ok, not that great, got bored after 4 hours) i like the stuff they publish now a days but much like capcom, they expect insane sales records and cancel/rush develpment. least hitman was good. and deus ex mankind devided was alright.

Who's the director of those games? Nomura? To be fair, if you asked him to make a side-scroll flash game with one level where you simply walk from one end to another of a room, it'd probably take 10+ years to make.

Fuckin' hell Squeenix. You bring back two of my favorite franchises from the early 2000s in Deus Ex and Hitman (And Thief, but that game caused me more harm than Pol Pot's reign in Cambodia), make them really good... then kill them so you can cover the costs of your over-budget, over-hyped Japan projects that have been in development now for years.

The newest deus ex was like 1/3rd of the games story, they had a terrible preorder campaign, a bad microtransaction scheme, and a useless vr mission mode instead of more content. The dlc levels were obviously removed from the game too. They hosed the game up extremely badly
