Archief - [PC,PS4,XBOX] Far Cry 4

Ubisoft Shanghai is contributing to the development of Far Cry 4, judging by the CV of one of the studio's employees.

While details on the unannounced project remain slim, Ubisoft Shanghai's studio design manager Xavier Plagnal claims to have been serving as "content director on the next Far Cry" since September 2013.

He previously served as the content director on Splinter Cell: Blacklist's Hunter co-op mode, his profile states, and worked on NCIS: The Game, Beowulf and an undisclosed Ubisoft Action RPG.

Ubisoft Shanghai also helped contribute to the development of Far Cry 3 alongside Ubisoft Massive, Ubisoft Red Storm and Ubisoft Montreal.

Though Ubisoft has yet to formally announce the game, the publisher teased last July that the first details on Far Cry 4 would be revealed "soon".

"It's a great brand," said Ubisoft's senior VP marketing and sales Tony Key, speaking of Far Cry 3's success, "and now it's got the recognition it deserves, so we're clearly going to make another one: more on that soon."

Could an E3 reveal be on the cards for Far Cry 4?

Far Cry 4 will be released in the first half of 2015 and be set around the snowy mountain ranges of the Himalayas, Eurogamer can confirm

The switch in location marks a drastic change for the adventure series, which is usually more associated with sandy, tropical locales. But it will also pave the way for some new features - such as the ability to saddle up and ride elephants, people familiar with the project told Eurogamer.

Far Cry 4 is still some way away, but we understand that Ubisoft is currently aiming to release it during the next financial year (before the end of March 2015).

Our first official glimpse at Far Cry 4 will come much sooner, however - the title is set to be shown off in some form during Ubisoft's annual press conference at E3 in June, one source said. Expect PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. We're unsure at this stage whether current-gen versions are also in the works.

A setting based around the Himalayas was first hinted at on Twitter last month by tipster Superannuation, who also suggested it would include some kind of monsters.

Far Cry 4's gameplay will remain similar to that in Far Cry 3 - presumably including a large focus on hunting local fauna. The world's map will be structured in a familiar fashion too, a separate source said, with outposts for you to liberate.

Interessante setting wel vind ik, zie er veel mogelijkheden in eigenlijk. Een far cry in sneeuw landschappen hebben we nog niet gehad zeker? Als deze van dezelfde kwaliteit van de vorige is wordt dit ook een topperke!

Ik kijk er alvast naar uit

Far Cry 4 will release this year on November 18 in the US and November 20 in EMEA territories. The game will be available on both generations of consoles – PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 – along with Windows PC.

Taking a sharp turn away from the lush island jungles of the top-rated Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4 is set in Kyrat, an untamed region currently ruled by a despotic self-appointed king. But don’t be lulled into a false sense of security by the achingly beautiful views; Kyrat is a wild land full of perils. Once again, players will be able to craft their own stories as they travel through this exotic open world teeming with wildlife – using their wits along with an assortment of powerful weapons and diverse vehicles.

“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,” said Dan Hay, Executive Producer. “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.”

Development on Far Cry 4 is being led by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with Red Storm Entertainment, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai and Ubisoft Kiev.

Ik vond FC3 niet echt iets speciaal, dus waarschijnlijk komt deze niet in huis.

Had niet verwacht dat er dit jaar al een nieuwe zou verschijnen.
