Far Cry 6 Location And Setting Revealed

Another region that is more realistic and in high demand is Australia . There's the old adage that "everything in Australia wants to kill you," which would make a ton of sense for Far Cry 6 . Whether it's the wildlife like cassowaries, snakes, crocodiles, and sharks or the intense weather like droughts, storms, and bushfires, there's a lot that can be said about the environment of Australia playing a huge role in the g


Recent Far Cry games have been masterful in weaving the series' signature insanity into the narrative to make characters and the story more intimidating or exciting. But gameplay elements in recent entries have just felt like good shooters, not necessarily an insane experience. Obviously adding more "insanity" to the gameplay would need to be handled with some nuance, considering gun durability and the high enemy encounter rate in Far Cry 2 saw plenty of complaints. That said, adding elements of unpredictability that influences player vulnerability could help to mix up the gameplay and provide more of a challenge. Games like Breath of the Wild incorporated vulnerable gameplay mechanics in interesting ways, so Far Cry 6 could easily do something simi


While these may just be historical backdrops so far, they still have incredibly important stories to tell. Battlefield 6 can't stop and smell the roses, but it can ensure players see the rose's last petal fall, can make them what to take the area back from enemies, and much more. In short, it would be an uphill battle in many ways, but if Battlefield 6 's modern setting can be as "interesting" as Far Cry 6 , that's a simple recipe for succ


In fact, that is the majority of my issue when it comes to the story and pacing. Without a doubt, the best character personally was Joseph Seed (Greg Bryk) -- the transformed antagonist of Far Cry 5 . But even still, I probably have the most significant connection with him because Read the Full Content character has history in the series. Anyone coming into this game for the first time (given it is advertised as a standalone experience) wouldn't benefit from that connection at all, and would easily get a less-worthwhile experie


Seed created a legacy, put his family first, and had conviction in his beliefs (that turned out to be right). This idea that his insanity was actually based in something took Seed to a new level, leading fans to be happy with his surprising return in New Dawn . This added a new layer to the character, perhaps giving him more depth than others, and is something Ubisoft should replicate. The antagonists of New Dawn , Mickey and Lou, were the opposite though. They really had no depth and committed evil for evil's sake; in other words, the Far Cry 6 villain should take more after Joseph Seed than Mickey and Lou, replicating success and learning from mista

However, there's a lot of buzz around one key word for each game: location. Insiders have seemingly indicated over the course of a few weeks that Far Cry 6 's location would be "interesting" and Battlefield 6 will be modern. Yet there's little reason that Battlefield 6 can't be b


After all, Far Cry 5 didn't have a definition "exotic" location, it made a location exotic. Many were surprised when they learned it was Montana, but eventually, it was a clear choice. The cult of Joseph Seed took a seemingly common and okay location and molded it into Ubisoft's formula, and so Far Cry 6 should mimic this. In other words, instead of choosing something incredibly exotic, a real-world location with a twist is all it really ne


Recently, Ubisoft confirmed that it will have 5 triple-A releases by March 2021. Three of these are games that have been previously delayed, namely Watch Dogs: Legion, Rainbow Six Quarantine , and Gods and Monsters , whereas the other two all are but officially confirmed to be the viking-focused Assassin's Creed Ragnarok and the now-leaked Far Cry


It's worth mentioning that Ubisoft has put out a survey before, asking for input on possible locations, and one of those was an environment-survival game based in Alaska. In other words, alongside fighting against the primary antagonist in the region, the harsh climate of Alaska would be a common factor. With its low population, variety of regions such as its Denali Mountain and Aleutian Islands, and economy based on fishing, natural gas, and oil, there's a lot of potential story angles for Far Cry


And that's really a shame, because in so many ways Far Cry New Dawn is a better experience than any Far Cry game that came before it. I mentioned it within our preview of the game , but the title's pivot to more RPG elements drive home the experience. Being able to upgrade the base in a way that substantially improves weapon quality and variety drives both motivation and purpose in what you do--as you liberate outposts and save allies, you feel like you are making an impact in the game (regardless of the sto


That's not to say that the Battlefield franchise hasn't had "interesting" locations—France, Italy, the Gallipolli Peninsula, Norway, just to name a few and far more. However, even when accentuated with Battlefield 's trademark capabilities of destruction , these areas don't really come to life. They simply serve as a historical backdrop for a short story, a far cry from...well, Far Cry . Of course, there's two things that need to be addressed in this comparison: genre and environmental storytell
