It looks...kind of cool. Overall seems way too similar to the other games, and they're trying to make up for the lack of guns with being able to control animals I guess. Which is pretty cool but I'm not sure it's enough to carry the game.
I'd take firearms instead of this any day. And its honestly not that unique. There is no shortage of games with old weapons - Witcher, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed and just about any RPG/adventure game really. All right, maybe there are no towns as you're playing cavemen but that is a minor difference.
I'd take shooting dinos with guns over this.
What about it looks awful?
I'll admit that Ubisoft's trademark open world is getting stale, but this actually looks interesting. I'll take it over another modern day run-and-gun Far Cry 5. I wouldn't say it's a day one buy for me, but it looks far from what I'd call "awful"
While I did enjoy FC3 and FC4 (despite some bugs) I think they're going to have to change how you claim territory. The repeated outposts is fun, because you can try different things each time. Some of the small island ones in FC3 offered some unique attacking options such as pulling bad guys into the water. But the concept will get stale with a 3rd iteration.
They need to make capturing territory a bit different in the next one. The story missions themselves are a bit varied. Capturing territory needs to be similar. Blow up a bridge to stop reinforcements coming over to territory X. Or at least heavy land vehicles. Let say they will use boats to cross the river. Hit the outpost to stop the soldiers. Something more than "destroy outpost Y, now no enemies appear in territory X". Just changing the theme won't help much.

Looks fun to me, something original and fresh, would rather have this than yet another modern day combat game. Sounds goofy, but I wish they could make a sequel set in the Jurassic age somehow, would require something cheesy like time machines though.
This looks anything BUT "original and fresh."
It's the same copy and paste style gameplay as Far Cry, you have outposts, you have "bonfires" that work bascially like the things in far cry.
Just going to be a collect-a-thon lifeless world filled with doing the same mundane things over and over and over.
This game could have been so much more, just like Black Flag, if they stopped trying to shoehorn things that should NOT be tied into those IP's and instead let them be their "own" thing and didn't stick the developers tot he same formula as every-single ubisoft game these days.
Everyone should go replay farcry 1 its still good with its replay value.
Until the aliens show up and then the game gets terrible.
are you thinking Crysis? Far Cry had no aliens.
Translating that to a linear scale, a 7-8 is really around a 5 on a 0-10 scale given the review curve. To gaming publications a 6 might as well be a 1.this game is actually getting slightly better reviews then I was thinking it would...it's averaging in the 7-8 range...I was thinking maybe scores closer to 6-7...either way I still have zero interest in this and I played and enjoyed all the other Far Cry games (yes even Far Cry 2)
My guess would be the success of games like ARK and The Forest is what prompted this. Games like this seem to be the new in thing and UBI wants to hop on that bandwagon before its too late and the fad dies out.I think this will be a great $5 buy for me. 20 hours of boring nonsense is not something I look forward to. I also hate melee in first person action games (RPGs I am fine with).
I don't even know why UBI bothered with this game at all.

You never played Far Cry 1 then, because Far Cry DID have aliens.

I watched a stream and review of this game and honestly, zero interest. It just looked really boring. Far Cry 3 was fun because all the systems felt new (for a Far Cry/Ubisoft game), but it's getting boring now. You have a much smaller choice of weapons as well.
