Far Cry 4 confirmed for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, and PC - GameSpot

Far Cry 4 is coming to Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC on November 18. Today's confirmation of Far Cry 4 comes after a flurry of leaks. Here's how Ubisoft sets up the story for Far Cry 4:

"In Far Cry 4, players find themselves in Kyrat, a breathtaking, perilous and wild region of the Himalayas struggling under the regime of a despotic self-appointed king. Using a vast array of weapons, vehicles, and animals, players will write their own story across an exotic open-world landscape."

"Following the success of Far Cry 3, we wanted to take the franchise to the next level and create a game that will surprise players and exceed fans' expectations," executive producer Dan Hay said in a statement. "Given the unique setting, we feel Far Cry 4 will stand out as a top first-person shooter and we're eager to reveal more about the game in the coming months."

One of my favorite things about the Far Cry series are the over-the-top maniacal villains in the main story line.

Far Cry 3 was the first one that I played and I really enjoyed it. This is one of the top games that I am looking forward to.

I haven't played any of the Far Cry's but I will be buying this one. I checked out the trailer and it looks sick!

:blink: This game looks completely insane! I can't believe it hasn't been talked about more on here!

Geez come next Tuesday I am broke! Little Big Planet 3, GTA V, and Far Cry 4!

Didn't care for the first few, but Farcry 3 was great. I'll have to check this one out at some point.

Same here.

It definitely is a Ubisoft game; follows the same formula as the assassin's creed series.

I was struggling to find anything new in that video that wasn't a core part of FC3...

Reviews seem to indicate FC4 is a winner!

Can't wait til Tuesday. Destiny will be mad at me, but I'm going to be playing a new game for awhile.

Co-op on main story sounds great.

Reviews are in *I just copied and pasted from NeoGAF thread*

The Guardian 5/5

There are some hangovers from previous iterations. Far Cry 4 occasionally boxes players into a style of play they may not appreciate in a couple of story quests – stealth missions, for example, in which being spotted is an instant fail – and a lot of the game’s best equipment is off-limits for far too long.

But Far Cry 4 truly shines in the almost bacchanalian sense of freedom it bestows on the player as they traverse through its environment. In Kyrat you have the ability to go anywhere and do pretty much anything – much as Pagan Min would advocate. Here, the only pact you need keep is that with your conscience. God help you.


Joystiq 4.5/5

There's a staggering number of adventures to extract from Far Cry 4, whether you chase the ones laid out by the game explicitly, or the ones that develop naturally as you take in the sights. It's another interesting and absorbing world to fall into, shoot through, burn and then guide to new beginnings. Far Cry 4 may have installed a despot, but it's still the undisputed king of the open-world shooter.


Gamesradar 4/5

Dodgy though the plot may be, Ajay’s struggle to make sense of his inheritance suits a game that’s battling for a place in a world handed down to it by Far Cry 3 and other open-world action franchises. The result is hard to score because, that whiff of over-familiarity aside, the failings are easy enough to side-step - all you need do is head off the Golden Path. But the best open-worlders are those that balance their emergent odds and ends against a strong narrative thrust. Without a story as breathtaking as those forested vales and icy crags, Far Cry 4 rings a little hollow, and doesn't fully achieve the spiritual heights this series is capable of.

This is probably the best that Far Cry has ever been. And that's saying something.


✔ The scale of the environment is stunning to behold and interactive with.
✔ Consistent surprises mean it's impossible to ease into a predictable routine.
✖ Competitive multiplayer is functional and nothing more. Disappointing.
✖ Some missions are overly linear, at odds with expansiveness elsewhere.

Far Cry 4 could have all of the multiplayer elements stripped away and it would still be a very strong game. If you enjoyed its predecessor and didn't grow tired of Ubisoft Montreal's open world formula, you'll have a blast living the experience again.

In Short: It may not bring many new ideas to the table but this is a hugely enjoyable open world shooter, with the best co-op options in the genre.

Pros: Fantastic open world environment that’s a pleasure to explore, especially with the great vehicles and fun weapons. Excellent co-op and interesting story branching.

Cons: Very similar structure and features to Far Cry 3. None of the characters are sympathetic and some may cause offence. Hunting certainly will if you love animals.

Far Cry 4 does all the things that its predecessor did and more - more weapons, more vehicles, more modes, more ground to cover - so if all you're looking for is a big old wide open space to tear up with a friend, go forth and make merry with mortar. That said, more does not necessarily mean better, and the truth is that the wilds of Kyrat simply aren't as beguiling as the Rook Islands were. Far Cry 4 is well worth a visit, but it's more a backpacker's delight than a five-star island paradise.

I don't have too much of a history playing Far Cry but the only thing keeping me from buying this game now is that I'm already getting my sandbox game fix with GTA V.
