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

Far Cry 4 will be a cross platform game, which leads many to wonder what kind of differences we’ll see between the new-gen version on PC, Xbox One and PS4 and the old-gen version on Xbox 360 and PS3. Creative director Alex Hutchinson explained what we can expect during a chat on Major Nelson’s Podcast.

Hutchinson mentioned that the studio wanted the gameplay experience to be the same on old gen and current gen, but the new generation version’s visuals will be much improved, also explaining that PC is the lead platform this time around:

"Everything you see, whether it’s the fur on the animals, the grass on the ground or the leaves on the trees… All these things are bumped up a huge amount in the next gen version. Previously we develop on PC primarily, which is actually unusual… Like Assassin’s… We develop on console so we start at that and we push the boundary of the console as hard as we can. But because we develop on PC… you’ve never really seen on console the ultra-high PC version before. So even out of the box, even day one, when we just stuck the code on the new consoles, we were able to dial it all the way up. So as a console player you’re already getting by far the best version we can ship."

That’s definitely good news for PS4 and Xbox One owners, but PC gamers also have a reason to rejoice.

Far Cry 4 will let you ride on an elephant’s back as though it were a live vehicle; use them as weapons; even slaughter the poor beasts if you like. You know this already. But you can also use the game’s mechanical version of vehicles as a weapon as well.


One of the ways you can use a car to your advantage, according to creative director Alex Hutchinson, is park it on a hill, load it with C-4, cut the breaks and let it roll down the hill into the enemy compound and hit your detonator.

You will also be able to upgrade your C-4 to make it “stick” to things, such as the elephant, shoot it in the ass to make it go on a rampage and when it gets to the enemy blow it up. Poor thing.

Skinning animals for crafting is back, but Hutchinson said you won’t be forced to use elephants to make particular items as with Far Cry 3′s Path of the Hunter quests. According to him, this made people sad, so it won’t be a required element.

The Outside Xbox interview with Hutchinson also discusses how helicopters were used to solve the problem of getting around the deep, mountainous valleys without having to climb and other gameplay nuggets.

Far Cry 4 is teeming with female characters, says creative director Alex Hutchinson, who tallies half of the game's main antagonists and half of the rebel fighters as ladies. For more Far Cry 4 story details, such as how Pagan Min is definitely for sure absolutely "not your father", take a watch.

Far Cry 4 Director Talks Map Size, PS4/PS3 Co-op, Lack of QTE and More; Hints to Blood Dragon Successor | DualShockers


Wat meer details:

Spoiler

The map size is relatively the same square footage of Far Cry 3‘s rook island, however due to the mountainous regions, the map is far more dense than that of FC3.
The team behind Far Cry views the games as more of a series than a franchise, as it doesn’t need to worry about narrative baggage. This factors in to what Dean Evans and his team are doing. It might not be Blood Dragon 2, but rather something unexpected
When asked about temperature, Hutchinson said he would love to make an extreme Far Cry game akin to what the modding community might come up with. His ideas were you get hypothermia when in cold water, you contract diseases when certain animals bite you, permadeath, etc. However, the main game doesn’t have anything to do with these hardcore options, the team might consider making a mode for it if there is interest.
No sharks in FC4, but there are demon fish and honey badgers.
Thin air is a factor in some mountainous areas. You need to have oxygen in these areas, and you do not have much of it.
There is an avalanche setpiece in the game, but players can not trigger them freely.
When a player buys the PS4/PS3 version of FC4, they will get around 10 tickets called “Keys to Kyrat”,that you can give to friends. They will be able to download a limited version of FC4 that has all the co op content and everything but the single player content. They will only be able to play the limited version if you are playing the main version of FC4. Hutchinson is not sure, but Sony might implement a time box.
There’s no split-screen co-op.
There is a competitive multiplayer mode in FC4. No details were given. The team views FC3′s multiplayer as unsuccessful, but are using lessons they learned to hopefully build a fanbase with FC4‘s mp.
You will unlock the wingsuit pretty early into the game.
In some of the games cinematics, players can interrupt them with actions, however they player will not have a prompt to do so. These will be hidden. This was made to address Far Cry 3‘s quick time event-driven boss fights. Also, it sounds like there are no QTE’s in FC4.
You can throw grenades through enemy car windows while you are driving, and drive away.
Fire still spreads in Far Cry 4 like in previous games of the series.
Hutchinson had lots of ideas to use dung as a weapon, like using it to coat arrows to make poison, but the team denied the possibility.
You can turn off the HUD, and each element of the UI, like XP feedback, etc. It’s designed with the next gen consoles sharing features in mind.
There are multiple endings, but they are less clear than in Far Cry 3, so there’s no press LT for good ending, RT for bad ending.
You can pick sides with the different factions. This will effect relationships with different characters and can effect the endings.
You can reset outposts, but the team is giving a narrative reason for it.
