Support NeoGAF

[Diddy X]

No hype because it's just another farcry basically.

 

[balls of snow]

Hey I already supported ubi with ac mirage. Now its time for the Avatar fandom to turn up.

 

[Danjin44]

To me it looks like FarCry with Avatar license.

 

[SmokedMeat]

It’s Avatar. The movies were mediocre. Ubisoft games plummet in price.

Why buy day one?

 

[dorkimoe]

Probably gonna get it but price will depend on reactions

 

[GeeseGoose]

I was excited until gameplay trailers and opinions came out. Was hoping for a Skyrim reskin, but looks like a Far Cry reskin and coupled with Ubisoft plus season pass made me veer into “meh” territory.

 

[KyoZz]

I'll play it with a friend in a week, thanks to Ubi+.
But I'm sure I'm gonna be disappointed.

 

[SJRB]

I think Avatar is dumb as fuck and I absolutely loathe the design of the N’avi so that doesn’t help with excitement, I guess.

If I could pick the human side and carbetbomb those blue cunts I’d be there day one.

 

[kruis]

Seriously guys, the next big Ubisoft game, which had a very promising reveal, is coming out in 5 days. No launch trailers, we don't even know when the review embargo is. None of the reviewing outlets or reviewers are talking about it on social media.

What's the hype gauge like on GAF? Are you getting the game at launch or sitting it out?

Did the GTA announcement kill any excitement for this ?

There wasn't a lot of hype for AC: Mirage and it turned out to be be a solid seller. This Avatar game could turn out to be a popular Christmas present, who knows.

I loved the two Avatar movies, but I'm not picking this up because it's a first person game. And it looks like it's telling the same story as the first Avatar movie, but now the protagonist is (of course) a woman.

 

[Isa]

I might check out Starship Pocahontas at a later date if it gets decent word of mouth from the community, but I'm not expecting too much. Not a fan of Cameron or Avatar in particular, and Ubisoft is not a publisher I want to support at full price.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

It's a dumb franchise game made by paint-by-numbers Ubisoft, no hype.

 

[rofif]

Nobody cares about Avatar and Ubisoft.
Like.. I loved the first movie at the cinema but i never rewatched it and never wanted to.
I also had no idea 2nd movie came out until it was out of cinemas. And nobody I know have seen it

The game itself looks just fine. It doesnt look particularly bad in any way. I could see myself maybe getting it on ps5 if it's at least for visuals

 

[FlexioCZ]

Its has the same release date as warhammer 40k rogue trader, so hard pass for me

 

[Johnny Concrete]

To me it looks like FarCry with Avatar license.

You are wrong. It’s Avatar with the Far Cry license.

 

[Danjin44]

You are wrong. It’s Avatar with the Far Cry license.

 

[Fredrik]

I like the Avatar movies but this game is on my watch list for a Gamepass release.

 

[RickSanchez]

it's just another Far Cry game with an Avatar coat of paint.

Far Cry: Pandora, if you will

Sure it could be great, but i'll wait for reviews. and then, i'll wait for a sale

 

[Robb]

It never looked very good to me. It’s not even on my radar.

 

[Fart Knight]

I only like this song

 

[[Sigma]]

Nope. Never cared for Avatar in general. This game does not look interesting neither to me.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Far Cry games are a guilty pleasure and the Avatar skin only makes it more interesting.

Ubi can re-skin Far Cry as much as they want and I will buy the shit outta whatever they put out.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

It is basically Far Cry so...

 

[Arsic]

Looks doo doo.

 

[Xtib81]

There's absolutely zero hype. I canceled my preorder after the previews last month.

 

[InterMusketeer]

Ubislop is never hype.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Just doesn’t seem right for an Avatar game to be first person. It seems like a game that should be third person to me, and their decision just makes it feel like they chose to go with an Avatar art style for their next Farcry game.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Infinitely more interested in Star Wars Outlaws.

 

[Horseganador]

I don't think a Farcry on Pandora's moon generates much hype.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

My hype deflated based on the previews. I’m sure same as with many others.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Avatar? Didn't that matter briefly, like, 14 years ago?

the highest grossing film of all time, still a very popular brand. God there’s some awful takes in here sometimes… it is mind numbing

 

[Danjin44]

The minute they announced this game I know exactly how this game is gonna play out and its same reason why I have zero hype for Assassin's Creed in Japan.

No matter the setting it gonna play just like any other Ubisoft game, if you in to that then you are getting exactly what you want.

 

[March Climber]

I’m more excited for the Metroidvania Prince of Persia game, that 80% of people here instantly wrote off, because they started seeing red thinking the protagonist is the Prince himself.

I predict that will be the highest user rated Ubisoft game next year and a sleeper hit.

 

[SirKicksalot]

I've been religiously following Avatar since 2005 and I like Ubisoft games but I'm done with Uplay. Or whatever they call it now - I just type Uplay in the Start menu and it works.
I'm waiting for the Steam version. Uplay is more than 10 years behind Steam.

 

[Humdinger]

Just not feeling it. The Far Cry formula is running a little thin. I'll probably get it when it reaches around $30.

 

[Lupin25]

Not much.

They couldn’t have chosen a more unfortunate release.
GTA or TGA, pick your poison, might swallow any hype this initially had by next week.

 

[cripterion]

Don’t care about the Avatar universe. Don’t want to play a blue alien. I am much more interested in Massive working on their own original IP again. Division 3 can’t come soon enough.

This.

 

[mindfreak191]

I'll give it a spin since I have UBI+.

 

[semiconscious]

I think Avatar is dumb as fuck and I absolutely loathe the design of the N’avi so that doesn’t help with excitement, I guess.

If I could pick the human side and carbetbomb those blue cunts I’d be there day one.

strong words... but i do kinda feel where you're coming from...

 

[Torrent of Pork]

You can't play as the good guys, what do you expect?

 

[Punished Miku]

I’m more excited for the Metroidvania Prince of Persia game, that 80% of people here instantly wrote off, because they started seeing red thinking the protagonist is the Prince himself.

I predict that will be the highest user rated Ubisoft game next year and a sleeper hit.

That is day 1 for me. Next month

 

[Mossybrew]

This game has "wait till its at least half price" written all over it.

 

[Denton]

I am not hyped, but I am curious how will Pandora look on snowdrop, so I will sub to Ubisoft plus for a month to play through it. Someday.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

The Avatar IP is really unappealing to me.

The Far Cry formula is also unappealing to me.

Waiting for the next "big step" from these games.

 

[Mattyp]

Would rather play as the humans invading and curb stomping the Navi into submission while I build my industrial wasteland.

 

[bender]

Ubisoft is my anti-hype. Not to mention the unappealing IP.

 

[Laieon]

I was actually pretty excited for this until I found out it was first person.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I think it will sell well. A lot of people like Avatar.

 

[sendit]

Its has the same release date as warhammer 40k rogue trader, so hard pass for me

Warhammer, the franchise that is more cookie cutter and just plain rips off other game designs.

 

[TheBTL]

Warhammer, the franchise that is more cookie cutter and just plain rips off other game designs.

Exactly! and not mention concepts of other series Micheal moorecock says hi lol!

 

[RPS37]

Barring terrible reviews , as an Avatar fan, I’m hyped.
When’s the embargo up?
