Far Cry 4 Announced
Ubisoft has announced that Far Cry 4 will ship November 18th for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. There are very few details at the moment, and no screenshots or videos – just the packshot. Ubisoft are waiting until E3 next month to show the game off properly.
The following is the only description of the game so far released:
Pack away your tropical gear, because Far Cry 4 is heading to the Himalayas.
Announced today, Far Cry 4 will release this year on November 18 in the US and November 20 in EMEA territories. The game will be available on both generations of consoles - PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 - along with Windows PC.
Taking a sharp turn away from the lush island jungles of the top-rated Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4 is set in Kyrat, an untamed region currently ruled by a despotic self-appointed king. But don’t be lulled into a false sense of security by the achingly beautiful views; Kyrat is a wild land full of perils. Once again, players will be able to craft their own stories as they travel through this exotic open world teeming with wildlife – using their wits along with an assortment of powerful weapons and diverse vehicles.
"Following the success of Far Cry 3, we wanted to take the franchise to the next level and create a game that will surprise players and exceed fans' expectations," said Dan Hay, Executive Producer. "Given the unique setting, we feel Far Cry 4 will stand out as a top first-person shooter and we're eager to reveal more about the game in the coming months."
Development on Far Cry 4 is being led by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with Red Storm Entertainment, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai and Ubisoft Kiev.

Whoever is behind this franchise...they were on to something good when they released FC2. Yes...yes...there were many complaints about the way the enemy re-spawned and lack of wildlife, people, etc. amongst other bugs. None of that is being contested here. The point is there were some very immersive qualities about FC2 that were summarily squashed with the release of FC3 turning off a lot of people (myself included). Now it appears they are moving even further away from that realism with FC4.
My main hope with the Far Cry franchise was that it would be a series of open-world, sandbox environments with strong realism, lean controls and no HUD so the player would essentially forget his or herself while playing. Instead it's turning into some sort of bizarre, arcadish, entertainment circus sideshow. For all it's failing points, FC2 could have been honed into an amazing experience that would be scaleable to the player's preferences. A true loss to the gaming community at this point.

Totally agree and I can see Far Cry 4 being pretty much FAIL as far as I'm concerned, each to their own of course. Just waiting for Call of FarCry 5 : Modern Bungee Jumping

I really, really, really(can I say really one more time? *oh I just did) hope they have another "Vaas" like character.
I got so much spoiled with that character's awesomeness that I can't settle for less.
Agreed, I wish there was more of him in FC3.
