"There's not a lot that I can go into on that just yet. "We want to try and make it about player choice," he says, cryptically. It's something Hay wants the team to react to in designing Far Cry 4.
But as you traversed the Rook Islands and liberated each outpost from Vaas' control, there was little sense that your revolt was making its way back to Vaas himself. Far Cry 3's faction system improved upon this, with the friendly Rakyat and Vaas' hostile henchmen often engaging in firefights entirely of their own accord.
They also shot you on sight, even though you alternated between working for them. In Far Cry 2, the game's two opposing factions did not communicate with each other or come into conflict in the open world. Here are four things we picked up on, most of which Hay was restricted from elaborating on until Gamescom, despite our most intimidating Vaas impersonation.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's But Hay also hints at how the team is making changes to the broader, less-tangible elements of Far Cry. The team then introduced new items and mechanics to add to what Hay calls the "fractal of fun": a grappling hook, vehicular takedowns, the ability to shoot whilst driving, throwable bait for wild animals (smartly lifted from Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon), and a pilotable gyrocopter. "Making a weaponised animal, that's a living tank, was the first thing that we saw," said Hay.
So they dreamed up a new, hypothetical experience not yet seen in a Far Cry game: riding an elephant, smashing through the wooden doors of a giant outpost, and taking it over-in co-op mode. Speaking to GameSpot, Hay described how the team wanted to discover new places and characters along with players themselves.
"Everybody was like, that's the worst idea I've ever heard," said Dan Hay, Far Cry 4's executive producer. The team thought about staying on Far Cry 3's Rook Islands, bringing back Jason Brody as the protagonist, and plumbing the depths of how that experience could be evolved. When Ubisoft Montreal first approached the conception of Far Cry 4, the conversation did not include elephants, mountains, or snow.
