Okay so pouring through all the info finally being released here is what I've found: The main villain is Joseph Seed (aka "The Father") he and his brothers Jacob and John (and half-sister Faith) have created a religious cult called Eden's Gate. They spun words of promise to disenfranchised people living in remote Montana and built up a large army. Now they are taking over Hope County killing and enslaving anyone who resists. You play an unnamed junior sheriff who gets caught up in all of this when he is cut off from the outside world. You may have a dog companion with you (unless this gets cut - it was in when the IGN guy was able to see an alpha of the game). You can also enlist several other characters as seen in the "resistance videos" - pastor Jerome who talks softly but carries a big shotgun  , bartender Mary May who's family was killed by Eden's Gate and serves up a mean molotov cocktail, and mechanic and pilot Nick Rye who tricks out his plane with machine guns and bombs  This looks HEAVILY like the Dunia 2 engine and I have ever reason to think we are looking at a tuned up version of the Primal version. Flying planes is said to be a big part of the game. COOP is available for the ENTIRE game (not just certain missions or outposts). It's possible that like Ghost Recon WIldlands you may have an AI companion besides your dog. ANy of the three above possibly with their own special attacks or abilities. The map maker from Far Cry 3 returns. Odd as that map maker was for multiplayer maps O.o Not sure if that indicates multiplayer... Release date is 2/21/18 (damn that's a long time from now  ) Was worried for about a minute that it was Playstation only as those were the only logos present, but on Ubi's Blog is this statement: Far Cry 5 will launch on Xbox One, PS4, and PC on February 27, and you can see more when Ubisoft’s E3 press conference kicks off at 1:00PM PDT on June 12. And for more updates, keep your eye on UbiBlog. |

Well I think they've done ok with the animal companion stuff. The Tiger companion in Far Cry 4 worked good. Far Cry Primal kind of perfected that a bit. The dog supposedly can be commanded to attack enemies or wrestle their gun from them and bring it back to you (ala Fallout 4) AI shooting companions? Yeah no those suck LOL They would need to do major work to make full AI human companions. In GRW the other night my guys were behind a wall with me (literally a concrete wall) and magically took out 3 snipers I synch shotted through the wall (they pointed AT the wall... sigh) |

So Gamespot is saying that there will be FULL character customization for your character in Far Cry 5 and you will design how you want your character to look.
They also say at the start of the game you and two deputy sheriffs try and go arrest Joseph Seed the head of the family and things go wrong (don't they always in Far Cry?) which sets up the start of the campaign.

Well, my prediction was almost close... You are a cover agent from FBI searching proves about the mafia behind the cult, but you were discovered. They taken you to the deep of the forest to kill you, but one of then (covered too) save you to help you to disband them peace by peace for revenge in a asymmetrical war.  I guess if you have full characters customization it because two things: 1.You will be able to play in 3° person (I doubt it). 2.Will be full Coop; you know, that way your partner can appreciate you (for sure). |

Third person seems unlikely. I mean they can do it. We know we can (there is even a third person camera), but they just never have. It's fine for me because I've always enjoyed that Far Cry is a FPS only game. BUT having thrid person for vehicles (especially planes) would be SOOOOO much better - I am a terrible first person driver... still better than most Kyratis, but still. |

More details from Amazon.uk ( www.amazon.co.uk/Far-Cry-5-Gold-PS4-x/dp/B072J4F3BW/ ) So "Fangs for Hire" for the dogs. Then not a typical dog companion, but summonable dog(s) HTI .50 Sniper Rifle - sigh ridiculous one shot weapons confirmed. This and the planes tells me we are going to have insane firepower available and most of the game will likely be a pushover (as per usual) Muscle cars sound cool. The bad guys henchmen are "The Heralds". I'm guessing these are the enemy redneck army. Looks like their bright "hey shoot me" color is white. Interesting contrast to our typical red (I guess) No indication yet what the "North" elite's will be. Every far cry so far has typical low ranking thugs and then a second tier to the north or south. There's some info about the Joseph's brother John was in the army so maybe we will face off against heavily armed militia. That would fit the theme of isolated rural extremists... Amazon either has it wrong or something is very seriously F%^&ed up - they say early access with Gold Edition is Nov. 7th. Why would early access be FOUR MONTHS before release?!? That's pretty crazy if true... I was kind of surprised at the Feb release date as they will miss the holidays, but glad too that they might actually get the game in a good state before release. I know. I know. Silly me. |

Based on everything we are seeing there is NO WAY this cannot be the same Dunia 2.x engine. I mean it's definately the latest version from Primal and maybe they are even tweaking it more, but come on the vehicles, animals, weapons and gear are all coming up as reskins.

Primal could not be modded, do you believe this can?.

Primal could not be modded, do you believe this can?. I was able to (eventually) mod Primal thanks to someone creating a proper unpacker that let us get at the files. I am 99% sure this game will have different encryption and so it will depend on someone cracking the encryption. I have no reason to believe we won't be able to use the methods we've used before to edit things... but I suppose we will have to wait and see. |
