Farcry: Primal

In Far Cry: Primal, you will play as Takkar, a seasoned hunter and the last surviving member of your group. The aim of the game? Survive as long as possible in a game world where you are the hunted.

More key features:
- Grow your tribe and hone your skills to lead your people.
- Ally yourself with a cast of memorable characters who can help push back the dangers of the wild.
- Face enemy tribes who will do anything to eradicate you and your allies.
- Defeat predators and humans, and rise to become the apex predator.
- Stalk enemy outposts and plan your attack using weapons and tools crafted from the bones of beasts you’ve killed.
- Master the element of fire to multiply your tactical options, setting your weapon on fire or scaring predators at night.
- Land the killing blow on the prey you’ve hunted across the plains. But beware, its scent may attract predators willing to fight you for the prize.
- The rich setting of the Stone Age only multiplies the amount of deadly weapons, dangerous threats and incredible stories that Far Cry is known for.
- Discover the majestic and savage land of Oros with its breathtaking valley of redwood forests, harsh taiga, and humid swamps where you can see Earth as it was before man laid claim to it.
- Oros teems with life from large herds of deer and vicious packs of dire-wolves to warring enemy tribes. It is ruled by megafauna such as sabretooth tigers and woolly mammoths, giant animals that dominated the Earth in the Stone Age and were feared by every other living being.
Far Cry: Primal is set to launch February 2016 for Xbox One and PS4, and March 2016 for PC.

I don't want to be cynical but it's just a fresh coat of paint.

A Far Cry must include:

a. something to do with outposts.
b. hunting animals for weapons
c. something to do with fire
d. there always a tribe involved.

If this was Far Cry 4, I would be all over it but this is fourth identical game. I think the series needs a break and adding wholly mammoths isn't going to change it.

Same goes for their Assassin Creed games at this point

i get that i might sound the same as the previous game but its more how its done/Implemented.

With this being set during the Stone Age...does that mean there will be no story? Just...surviving and growing?

There might be a story, Ubisoft of course keeping it all secret

Wonder how will this turn out....mmm

I agree. In most cases, it is how it's implemented but from the "feature" list above, it sounds like every other Far Cry game.

I loved Far Cry 3. And when I got Blood Dragon on sale, I was like, "this is going to be awesome".

But it wasn't. I can understand why people would love it but it played exactly the same as Far Cry 3.

But this looks like repaint again. Or at least a mod. Nothing really new and it's probably going to play like all other Ubisoft open world games.

I enjoyed both Far Cry 3 and 4, and did almost everything there was to do in both games. I will agree that they need to evolve the series somehow though. The formula is getting old.

Also, this seems like it will be stripped down. The only long range weapons we'll have is a bow/arrow and a spear. All the customization/weapon choices from previous games will be gone. I wonder how they'll make up for that.

Hmm, if that's the case, the only thing I really liked was the ability to snipe people in outposts from cliffs and stuff.

Give me the bow over the sniper rifles.

I liked both.

But it's nothing new. The last 4 Far Cry games had a bow or crossbow in it.
