Multiplat Far Cry: New Dawn

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Agree with your first point.

I do wonder if Ubisoft are working on Watch Dogs 3? we haven't heard anything about a possible 3rd game since the release of Watch Dogs 2.

I'm intrigued by the concept of this one and do love a bit of Far Cry action every now and then.

It could be good. It could also be a hot mess. I'm a bit wary of the price point, development time and some of the early impressions. Will wait for full reviews and impressions to come through before I shell out for it.

Development time? This would have been worked on while the original game was in production, plus the engine will be exactly the same, and it sounds like the world will be similar.

Good first game, really good sequel.

You're probably right, however a few of the early impressions I read indicated the game was fairly unpolished only a few weeks ago which is concerning. Mostly with regards to dialogue and quests being broken etc.

See? Just like Far Cry 5

Harvey Norman have it at $46 at launch for anyone that actually lives near one.

I hope these absurdly cheap launch deals aren't a reflection of expected review scores...

From memory, Primal was much cheaper too as it isn't a "direct entry" to the series. Will probably be 10-12 hours worth of story so they can't charge full price for that

 

[palmomagpie]

Don't forget about this deal, anybody that's getting it. Surely don't want to be paying full price for this

So it won't be as big and detailed as Far Cry 5? (Haven't played it, but just making assumptions)

Basically same engine, gameplay just a different setting/story? Sounds like an Assasins Creed Brotherhood type sequel. Expansion pack like.

I'll pass.

I've avoided most of the info about this game as I'm a Far Cry fanboy who was let down by how taxing FC5 got. Wanted to hit this one fresh and hopefully enjoy it more. I think the map size is about 2/3 of the Far Cry 5 map, would probably expect 30 hours to 100% the game

 

[palmomagpie]

Same engine and gameplay though, just more leaves, colour and different characters on a smaller section of Hope County

I don't think it will be anywhere near that size, trophy guides are already popping up claiming 10-15 hours to plat.

Ahhh that sucks. I was just basing off Primal, but i guess that took longer because there were no vehicles haha No wonder the prices are dipping below $40

Where is this on their website? Can't find it anywhere. Need to check the eligible games.

It's on the email they send out. If you click the link, it takes you to the purchase page for New Dawn but has them at full price. I think you either have to call your local or go in and wing it. I think they rely on you going in with 4-5 different games and trying to talk you into trading all of them

Apparently it's reviewing really well in japan.

Reviewing reasonably without smashing it. Probably about as expected. Might pick it up in the next few days if user reviews are similar.

Kinda ok with it being a shorter campaign, in my old age now I tend to get burned out a lot quicker and hit a wall. Plus I want to play Metro and JC3 plus I've started Zelda and I'm half way through Kingdom Hearts 3.

Just picked up my copy

I have a full weekend away from home but looking forward to hearing your thoughts while I consider getting it early next week.

 

[ioppolo]

I got that $1 email but genuinely thought it was a scam.

 

[pantskyle]

It's not good.

Enjoying the game but annoying that you have to get resources to revive you character when they are out of commission.
