it plays exactly like a far cry game

 

[Raven77]

The hype is massive and growing.

 

[Faust]

I enjoyed the films, but this game just looks like FarCry, but on Pandora. Not particularly interested until it is down to 20 dollars or so.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

 

[dottme]

Once the complete edition with all the micro transactions included is on deep sale, maybe.

 

[nikos]

I'm excited to play it. Will probably just sub to Ubisoft+ for a month instead of buying it.

 

[FalconPunch]

When it comes to PS plus or Gamepass, I'll make sure not to download it.

 

[Ozzie666]

Might be worth it after the ubisoft quick price drops, which happens to nearly all their titles. Overship, underdeliver. I am curious though if the Avarar license makes a difference.

 

[Revolutionary]

I haven't played a Far Cry game in earnest since 3, so I'm considering checking this out with Uplay+ or whatever they call it.

 

[Neolombax]

I feel like the ps3 Avatar game had more options for weapons and vehicles. This Avatar game seems pretty limited, also they put emphasis on pulling out plants for harvest...which is very odd.

 

[FullMetalx117]

I just watched Avatar way of water 4K on a 77 inch OLED with Sonos setup (bass, surrounds, etc.) and imo it’s definitely a imax movie. It doesn’t look that impressive at home, to the point I think some other games (such as horizon or final fantasy 16) look more impressive art style wise. So I actually don’t think this will be all that successful. It looks amazing as a movie in imax, but looks like everything else video game wise.

Edit: I think horizon burning shores has more of the “avatar effect” than the avatar game itself will

 

[Valt7786]

Its just far cry but you're really tall. Avatar are fine movies but its been so long between them at this point, do that many people give a shit about having a videogame for it?

 

[DenchDeckard]

I got it for free with an 7800X3D so I'll see how it goes at some point. No rush.

 

[Shubh_C63]

but its MASSIVE ENTERTAINMENT.

I will give them a chance to disappoint me first.

 

[SidViscous]

Would be more interested playing as the marines to be honest. The mech walkers look too fucking cool.

 

[Freeman76]

I am looking forward to trying it, but not hyped as its Ubisoft and I know exactly what it will be already

 

[xrnzaaas]

No hype, stopped caring about Far Cry and its clones and I was never interested in Avatar beyond enjoying the visuals of the first movie. I'd actually be more interested if Ubisoft made another Primal game, maybe this time with dinosaurs as well.

 

[Bodom78]

It's Avatar

 

[TVexperto]

1st person ended most of my interest. Will consider on deep sale.

its third person....when you fly those ugly birds

 

[rkofan87]

me my 130$ pre load is hype.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Avatar is a shit universe really. 2 very bloated movies, the first being a very cookie cutter adventure flick and the second a revenge flick stretched out to well over 3 hours. The Avatars aren't memorable either. I dunno, the movies were huge box office hits but there are many IP I'd rather see realized in a game.

 

[ManaByte]

it plays exactly like a far cry game

You played it?

 

[Swagballs717]

Ubisoft produces faintly lame open world sandboxes like genital disease produces strange and worrying fluids.

 

[IAmRei]

Farcry primal + dinosaurs, will be awesome imo

 

[Stuart360]

The game looks stunning imo. And as a fan of Ubisofts open world formula, the gameplay looks great to me too.
Cant wait to explore Pandora to be honest, its just a shame i'm probably going to have to play at 30fps if i want most of the bells and wristles.

 

[tommib]

 

[lh032]

You played it?

its from ubisoft.

 

[Represent.]

Come join us in the graphical fidelity thread, it’s practically the games OT

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I think you're one of the very few here on GAF who's hyped about it, adamsapple

That being said, I'll probably give it a shot when it's at least 50% off, considering it's developed by Massive and I enjoyed both The Division games they made.

 

[adamsapple]

I think you're one of the very few here on GAF who's hyped about it, adamsapple

It's the last AAA game of the year. Let's see how it is.

 

[kyussman]

It's Far Cry with an Avatar skin........craft shit out of plants and flowers and clear out enemy outposts.........been there,done that,many times........what the fuck is there to be hyped about.

 

[Arsic]

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

Who even saw avatar 2?

I haven’t met a single person stupid enough to see blue pocohantes 2.

Your idea of “popular” is the bad take.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Your idea of “popular” is the bad take.

Ridiculous. 2 Grossed like 2.5 billion dollars. If you’re gonna be a dick you could at least baseline have some basic understanding of the subject matter you’re talking about.

I never said I liked Avatar. Just explaining its popular. Anything else you wanna be wrong about?

 

[MagnesD3]

The word Ubisoft = no hype

 

[phant0m]

Entirely waiting on reviews tbh. the IP isn't *that* interesting to me and Ubi has been putting out bloated mediocrity since Origins so it's probably gonna be a wait for sale if at all.

[Chuck Berry]

Apparently the review embargo is 12/6

 

[Magic Carpet]

Maybe I can use this game to test Raytracing on my new 4070? Are Ubisoft games known for Raytracing?

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Deep sale, maybe if it reviews well. Just looks very uninspired. I’m sure it will be good fun like far cry but just fast food type gaming.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Not really hyped at all, honestly. But I was never really a big Avatar fan in the first place. I'm sure for those that are, this game will be for them across the board, and for good reasons. For me, it looks a bit more entertaining than the recent Far Cry iterations, so I guess it has that going for it. Maybe I'll wait and get it on the cheap? Not really sure. But the urgency to have it immediately does not exist at all.

 

[adamsapple]

The release date, not even the day before like what most games do.

Encouraging.

 

[Chuck Berry]

It's the day before. The game comes out on 12/7.

 

[adamsapple]

It's the day before. The game comes out on 12/7.

My bad, I thought it was releasing on the 6th. And I made the hype thread lol.

 

[Evil Calvin]

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 ?

Because Avatar and it's lore and world suck (outside of looking pretty)

 

[Chuck Berry]

My bad, I thought it was releasing on the 6th. And I made the hype thread lol.

Just goes to show how little attention people are giving it lol

Even on PC this is looking unimpressive. What a shame.

 

[Mowcno]

Imagine trying to do launch marketing when the day before you launch the GTA VI trailer comes out.

 

[Topher]

Got it free when I bought a GPU for my Linux box so hoping the game is good.

Yt compression doesn't help any time it's a game set in a jungle, but this looks gorgeous and like ass at the same time lmao.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Seriously, I dont think anyone gives a shit about anything else gaming related this week besides that trailer.

Well maybe that and seeing how long Christopher Judge can remain on stage before being carried off or drowned out by some overture and a commercial break.
