Launching in just a couple of weeks on the 23rd February, Far Cry Primal is no doubt near the top of many most wanted lists, but if you're unsure what Ubisoft's latest sandbox is all about, then we suggest taking a look at its newest trailer.
The five minute video goes over just about everything that you can expect from the game. For the most part, if you know of Far Cry's most recent outings, then you'll probably know what's in store for you here - the main difference being that you don't have a vast assortment of guns at your disposal. Instead, you're forced to utilise primitive weaponry and wild beasts.
For what it's worth, we've always thought that Primal seems like a really cool concept, but over the years we've become understandably weary of Ubisoft's open world template. Sure, ticking things off a massive checklist made up of crafting challenges and stronghold liberation can be satisfying, but we often find ourselves hungry for something more. With any luck, the upcoming release's intriguing setting will be enough to keep the experience afloat.

I like the concept of the game but that's not enough for me to buy it day one so I'll just wait for you guys to review it and hopefully it will have more.....new ideas.
Was that keen on Far Cry 4 tbh, to much be there done that before to it. This sounds like a cool concept but I'd rather wait for a price drop.
I'm interested in the era and all the new mechanics it brings to the table, but knowing Ubisoft being Ubisoft I'll wait for reviews or even a pricedrop before eventually delving in. I just really hope there isn't all too much of "filler content".
Did you see what his owl landed on, a tower?
Uh oh, towers.
I know I'm old fashioned, but I just can't get excited for a $60 game that only got announced and revealed barley 5 months ago, that short of a time frame just says budget title to me. I think Ubi's $15 Child of Light got promoted for over a year. Even the voice over work in the vid sounds "budget".
This may be good, or it may be bad, but it will be $20 before 2017.
I think if I like the look of it, I will wait for the "complete" edition like Far Cry 4.
I thought I was finished for a while with the FC franchise after the uninspiring 4 but I have to say this looks different enough (i.e not a carbon copy of 3 & 4) for me to be interested...
When is the review embargo lifted ?
I'm slightly interested, but I probably won't be getting this.
Sounds very good, haven't played a Far Cry game since Far Cry 2 so I'll wait for your review. The primal setting looks really interesting but I'll wait to see if it isn't riddled with the usual Assassins Creed collectible/ filler crap...
I love Far Cry so will be getting it.
I was excited about it until I watched some gameplay videos...
Its still just another Far Cry set in a different world. I will be waiting for more reviews and for the price to drop in 2-3 months. (which will absolutely happen)
I'm done buying big publisher games at launch, ive burned myself way too many times.
I have liked the recent Farcry games and always bought them day one and played the hell out of them. It does not really seem like a Farcry game in the traditional sense so will give it a miss. I like Ubisoft games in general next game will be The Division.
Pre ordered the digital Apex Edition. Countdown to the 23rd.
I would need to know that it had something to offer other than just Far Cry 3 and 4 in prehistoric times. The formula is fun but has worn thin after FC4.
It's a reskin
This looks fantastic.
I got bored of farcry 4 after not very long at all. It'll be on the old rental list, definitely interested but that's the height of my enthusiasm so far.
I don't understand why people aren't digging this. I love the Far cry games, and this one looks freaking incredible! I will be getting this day one.
@Rudy_Manchego the entire Ubisoft formula is getting so stale... When I hear Ubisoft I kinda just want to barf.
I'll get it eventually, but had to decide between this or Street Fighter V day one. I'm going with SF V.
@AyeHaley True - the problem is that the franchise peaks were great games but that legacy diminishes as they copy and paste.
Why are people hating on Ubisoft in general. I Agree that Assassin's Creed sucks but far cry is great if you ask me. I've played and enjoyed every single far cry game to date.
Hell yeah im getting this. This is what far cry is all about.. its a far cry from the rest.
Was gonna buy this until i found out theres no co-op. Shame really
