‘Far Cry Primal’ Announced With An Incredible Trailer

by Shane O'HareOctober 6, 2015

The last 24 hours have been interesting. Ubisoft started a mysterious live stream on their YouTube channel. A static shot of of some cave paintings, rhythmic chanting and the crackle of a fire. Then, the now suspended Twitter account for IGN Turkey let loose with the news that Far Cry Primal was the next in store for the franchise. Still, the live stream ran for almost 24 hours. And then we got ourselves THIS trailer.

The award-winning Far Cry franchise that stormed the tropics and the Himalayas now enters the original fight for humanity’s survival with its innovative open-world sandbox gameplay, bringing together massive beasts, breathtaking environments, and unpredictable savage encounters.

Welcome to the Stone Age, a time of extreme danger and limitless adventure, when giant mammoths and sabretooth tigers ruled the Earth, and humanity is at the bottom of the food chain. As the last survivor of your hunting group, you will learn to craft a deadly arsenal, fend off fierce predators, and outsmart enemy tribes to conquer the land of Oros and become the Apex Predator.

Key Features:

– RISE ABOVE EXTINCTION
You will play as Takkar, a seasoned hunter and the last surviving member of your group. You have one goal: survival in a world where you are the prey.

– STONE AGE BY FAR CRY
This isn’t the Stone Age you thought you knew. This is the Stone Age with irreverence and mayhem. This is the Stone Age by Far Cry.

– A WORLD RULED BY GIANT BEASTS
After the last Ice Age, the glaciers retreated to leave behind a land blooming with nature and resources where humans and animals alike can thrive – provided they have what it takes to prove their dominance.

This is an interesting departure from the previous three titles. The player is sent back in time, to ancient time. I definitely got vibes of The Forrest, Ark and other survival games in a similar ilk.

With Far Cry Primal and Horizon Zero Dawn, the hunting pack motif is going to be really strong in the next couple of years.

You can catch your own copy of Far Cry Primal February 23 2016 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

‘Far Cry 3’ Has Hilarious Marketing In ‘The Far Cry Experience’

by Derek KraneveldtNovember 1, 2012

Machinima and Ubisoft today released the debut episode of a hilarious new marketing strategy for Far Cry 3. The Far Cry Experience is a four-part series that pits Christopher Mintz-Plasse (as himself) versus a tropical island and its angry inhabitants.

I don’t want to give anything away. It takes just a few minutes to watch, in which I found myself laughing aloud more than once. Check it out!

I’m actually really looking forward to Far Cry 3. Far Cry was one of my favourite shooters of its time: the tropical island was a beautiful setting, and the powers that your character received certainly made the game stand out.

I’m sure that I’m not alone in saying that Far Cry 2 was a major disappointment, the open world, Malaria crap, and giant map with nothing to do made for an experience that I couldn’t put up with for more than a couple hours (to this day I haven’t progressed beyond those first few hours).

It looks like Ubisoft is taking the third game back a notch and bringing us back to the tropical setting of the first title. They’ve got my attention, lets hope it pans out alright. In any case I’ll be eagerly anticipating the next chapter of The Far Cry Experience.
