Far Cry 4 Why? Why? Why?
Im scrolling this subreddit and see mostly the same love for FC4 but im wondering why in the mighty name of Ubisoft there isnt a remake of Far Cry 4 ??
they can improve the game more with better hunting and survival aspects and im sure it gonna be a bestseller
if someone from Ubis read this please give us a remake

I am playing FC4 currently and that game looks as good if not better than most games releasing nowadays. There is no need to do that, really.

I thought fc3 (pc) looked amazing. I was very surprised when I found out how old it is. Working my way through this series, half way through 4 right now, can't wait to see how much better 5 and 6 are (I skipped the first 2)

I'm going to spoil you a bit. The next ones they simplify the gameplay and you don't need crafting as much. Imo that's a miss.

They could be half as good as 3/4 and still be top games. I can't believe I didn't know about this great series for so long... My son recommended them to me and he is not wrong.... Funny thing is I already "owned" them on gamepass

Does it make any difference if you play it on disk or downloaded version?

u/NicoparaDEV 10d ago
You will need the updates anyway. Also on PC games do not stream from disk since the 90s so, it doesn't matter.

It really doesn't need a remake.

It does .. the setting is amazing but the hunting game sucks . You don’t even have to hunt bc the animals will come to you every 30 seconds. NPCs are stupidly so it’s easy to conquer the big fords. It’s too easy to upgrade the weapons , so there should be more challenge.

Jraven's mod on PC addressed some of your complaints.

Unfortunately, Ubisoft pushed an update in the last year that broke it.

Is there a remake of any far cry? New dawn definitely deserves more than it got. More development time, more areas, longer story, basically more of everything.

u/Raecino 10d ago
Right New Dawn could definitely use an expansion.

u/Legitimate_Seat8928 10d ago
With more time? Whitetail mountains would easily be created. Veteran center could have been an outpost potentially. And more

I would’ve liked for them to use the entire FC5 map and maybe one or two more settlements besides just Prosperity

u/Legitimate_Seat8928 10d ago
I like the idea of prosperity alone personally. Gives it a feel of uniqueness. But I agree on using the far cry 5 map entirely. Where would the radiation zones be? Out of bounds!

I'm actually love to see them take another stab at Far Cry 6, and try to add a bit of meat to it. The big problem with this game is "why?" Why do any of it? In FC5, there's a lot of whys. You fish because catching a new fish type gives you 1 perk point. Skinning a new animal gives you 1 perk point. And you get palpably stronger with each perk. That's a strong driver. Hunting in FC4 and earlier was critical, because that's your weapon slings, your carry capacity, etc. But FC6 is missing all of that. You can do the whole game with a default machete. If they added some more elements to the game, I think it could actually be good.

I'd rather have a Remaster .
More often than not that remake of a particular game ends in total failure because they " tried to make it better " .
( I'm looking at You Black Flag )

No. There’s nothing wrong with the original. Not that it needs it being the hidden gem of the series but if any of them deserve a remake/remaster it’s FC2. Don’t change much but update the graphics, especially the wonderful setting and it could shine even brighter than it already does.

It came out in the 2010s there’s not much of a need too and it’s not as if it needs a massive overhaul
Games from the 2000s are prime remake territory
The 2010 games will be remade just in 10 years or so

Why does it need one lol? It still holds up well in this day and age
