We got a little nose at Far Cry 5! Here are what the trailers have told us (and a few extras bits) about why Hope County is not somewhere to go for the average tourist (lookin' at you, all of Jason Brody's friends...)
Outside Xtra As someone who lives in Montana, the setting is amazingly accurate. Not so much the people and their clothes, but everything else is pretty impressive.
Cougan Jones It certainly seems to the rest of the world that rural America all dress like they are frame Dukes of Hazard or the Deep South 1960s. You would think that people from Ontario would have a better idea of what someone from Montana would dress like.
TheOdd101 I know I want to get excited for it but I'm excited for the story premise which Ubisoft has said that their future games will have less story and more side activities. And that's a real damn shame because these characters look fucking amazing and I really want to be invested in the story, but it's probably going to be a very short and meh story where most of the game content is just outposts, radio towers and hunting. Remember when we all got excited for Farcry Primal and it had very little story in it. Or how in Farcry 4 Pegan Mihn was a great villan or would have been if you saw him more than 3 times in the game. I just really hope we got a good balance like with Farcry 3.
TheOdd101 I mean, I guess, but it doesn't seem much different than Far Cry 3 or 4 as far as premise. Big shot dictator-type dude, settlements to take over, deadly animals (and probably crafting), and whatever other elements make up the previous games.
Carlos Mariscal they said they knew they were making mistakes with the assassins creed series (which is why they took a break from it) and I'm pretty sure they said they want to do something different, so I'm just going to stay hopeful. And also if they do decide to focus more on gameplay that's good to me, I've got plenty of amazing books and movies to look at too, even if a more story driven farcry would be missed I'm not to worried about it, even though the set up seems cool all in all they seems generic. I'm not going to hype the game though and I'm definitely going to stay skeptical, because we probably should be about every game no matter the company, I'm even skeptical at red dead redemption 2 for fucks sake.
SlyForeigner yeah and that's cool and all cause that's what a far cry game is but I wish they would have at least picked a cool new environment something refreshing instead of another fucking mountain/forest region
As someone who lives in to Montana I regret to inform you that this game is not representative of the Big Sky state or its lovely populace. We are not being held hostage against our will. We do not need you to send help immediately. I repeat, don't SEND HELP NOW!
DeeDee Correct. The whole states has not been taken over by a crazy cult. Also only a small portion of our truckers are addicted to meth and our senators only attack reporters in reasonable acts of self defense. There is no need to send help to Whitefish because I am not being held in a secret bomb lab hidden beneath The Great Northern Brewing Company distillery, and I am also not tied to a chair with a shotgun over my kneecAaaaaa
Michael Lukash I have not been shot in the kneecap, nor have I been force fed human flesh and had to carve crosses into my own skin on threat of death. Everything is lovely in scenic Montana. Bring your children. Do not bring cameras.
ValThracian except Kyrat military is wearing the same colors as mercs in third game... which sadly is the case of reused assets. Wasted storyline here considering the theme of mercenary syndicate providing current big bad with whole high tech army is the common thing in all games except Primal.
I do wonder, how all this release trailer stuff coincided so nicely with such a controversial congressional election in Montana. That election has been garnering national attention for a while and has brought about tons of thinkpieces on red-state extremism, rural liberal resistance, individualist voting and cultural tendencies for states with such low population density like Montana. This whole Gianforte ordeal just may have got them some free publicity.
What. The. Hell. I seriously just moved to Montana less than a year ago, and some of the weirdest shit keeps happening. And now almost as if on queue, this game comes along to document the whole thing.
That reminds me of the absolutely lovely vacation I had in New Bordeaux. I am so looking forward to this one. Having my way with miscreants is always a joy.
How about a list of places not to vacation? Ostagar and Redcliffe in Dragon Age Origins. Kirkwall during the Qunari attack or mage revolts in Dragon Age 2. Earth in the crappy endings of Mass Effect 3.
3:04 that deer has very elk-like features. Seriously though, can't wait to hunt in this game. Montana is one of my favorite places to go for big game hunting.
Reason 8: It's in Montana. There's nothing there. Why would you want to vacation somewhere where there is nothing but flat ground and nature? Camping? What the heck is that?
I would like to say that we don't have flat ground up here it's actually pretty rough terrain in the west part, come on up and I'll put you through a 26 mile ruck march.
I really hope that the police aspect of this game will be used well. Seeing as the other Far Cry games have been in more "unique" areas, and this one is set in the USA then it would be interesting to see how the developers would implement it into a game series that they haven't used before.
8. This is Mike's practicing grounds for his new explosive devices. 9. Jane conducts all of her science experiments here, including the one that started off Prey by making mimics. 10. Andy is somewhere in the background using his stealth skills to practice his hitman kills.
I live in Montana, and this is exciting. Lots of roaming militias, cults, resistances, and Elen I started playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. I'm thinking of playing a mage, but what do you recommend?
The graphics look great. I'm sure we all know or can predict by now, what's going to happen to them in the future. Let's hope that Ubisoft surprises us and the pattern doesn't continue.
Well, once you've taken care of Joshua's siblings it's a pretty nice place. You can just leave him to stew in his private compound while you tour the rest of the county and nothing bad ever happens despite all those worrying news reports on the radio.
If Far Cry 5 has its plot anything like Far Cry 4, it may end with an actual disaster that could have been prevented (aside from the murder, person stealing and such) but the only person who foresaw it was was crazy/insane, and you will have a choice to prevent much of the damage from the disaster, but at the cost of losing your bounty, job, and justice. ie more moral dilemmas we gamers must face. And yes that sounds like an excellent idea for a video.
Ah so nice to see a game set in my state and from the looks of it, it's set in the more scenic side. Not the Gods awful eastern portion near the oil patch...though I could see a far cry set in that area as well...
As someone living in Nebraska, I don't know if I should be condemning Ubisoft for stereotyping the Western United States, or applauding them for making it a lot more interesting.
I (from Serbia) played Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 and was not really offended when they started showing Serbians as genocidal monsters.But,if you did get offended by it,it's fine.
I can't go to places which sound terrifying, I can't go to places which sound hopeful, I can't go to places which sound like a metal album...where _can_ I go?
was that at the end someone being pushed into a bell at the clock tower.. and in the picture doesnt the man with the knife with the odd hair look like the same guy from the witcher 3 first DLC
Don't know much about the far cry series (as I've only played far cry 3) and didn't know anything about far cry 5, but I swear that guy at 1:29 looks a hell of a lot like Dennis from far cry 3
can't help but point out that if that man fires the gatling cannon / minigun he just put on that floatplane then he is going to nosedive right into the ground
By looking at their "Last Supper" imagery you cannot find the NPC that is going to be "Judas", who makes the throat slitting symbology in Da Vinci's painting. Buy using that painting it makes me wonder if there's a character on the bad-guys team that's is going to help you take down the main villain(i.e Jesus, which I gotta say is weird correlating Jesus with the main antagonist of the game even for an atheist like me).
What about your studio ? It seems like a good vacation place. Good lights , good people , good photographers , good physicists , good androids , good ol sentient planets hell if only you weren't living underwater in a corporate building which is an apartment.
We got a little nose at Far Cry 5! Here are what the trailers have told us (and a few extras bits) about why Hope County is not somewhere to go for the average tourist (lookin' at you, all of Jason Brody's friends...)
wow the animation looks soo realistic and another great video oxtra
oh boy. modern day wild west.
Outside Xtra As someone who lives in Montana, the setting is amazingly accurate. Not so much the people and their clothes, but everything else is pretty impressive.
Its not the bears that are keeping the national guard out, It is probably the lack of internet. no one really knows that shit is going down yet.
Cougan Jones It certainly seems to the rest of the world that rural America all dress like they are frame Dukes of Hazard or the Deep South 1960s. You would think that people from Ontario would have a better idea of what someone from Montana would dress like.
Settlements have been taken over? Well you've peaked Preston Garvey's interest at least
He might be the one who sends the protagonist there.
Incidently, Reece Cowell, Preston Garvey is your right hand man. lol
fuck! you are right
DeeDee With the ability to customize the protagonist. Why don't we just send Preston himself?
About dang time, Ben Dover. Having 200+ hours of being sent all over the Commonwealth it's about time Preston Garvey gets his hands dirty too.
This actually looks like a genuinely cool premise for a Far Cry game.
I agree, I'm quite surprised. I'll probably buy it if it gets good enough reviews.
TheOdd101 I know I want to get excited for it but I'm excited for the story premise which Ubisoft has said that their future games will have less story and more side activities. And that's a real damn shame because these characters look fucking amazing and I really want to be invested in the story, but it's probably going to be a very short and meh story where most of the game content is just outposts, radio towers and hunting.

He must've died whilst writing it!

hopefully no honey badgers
'Edens Gate'..... real subtle...
Andy Mcp Next they're going to be drinking ColdAid
Not nearly as subtle as Spread Eagle.
Also there is apparently a real church in my city (Nashville, TN, US) called The Eden Gate
Alexandra Lee you better haul ass then
+Mr RADical As long as they keep their distance, I'm happy.
I'm not a religious person in the first place! XD
TFW a bunch of random cultists seem more well armed than the Kyrat military.
You've clearly never been to gun country.
Welcome to Montana, lol.
ValThracian
except Kyrat military is wearing the same colors as mercs in third game... which sadly is the case of reused assets. Wasted storyline here considering the theme of mercenary syndicate providing current big bad with whole high tech army is the common thing in all games except Primal.
Welcome to America.
Americans are more well armed than their own military.
Another reason not to visit Montana, their Congressmen just might body slam you.
Emiliano Rodriguez No, that only happened what, 36 hours ago? There wasn't time to change it. But it is some beautiful irony.
I do wonder, how all this release trailer stuff coincided so nicely with such a controversial congressional election in Montana.

how about a little less obvious bait next time, трололо?
"Help me *flip* the district!"
#1 there's going to be so much radio interference from the billions of towers
Wow wow wow... Hold on... Customisable character?
Skin color and gender are customizable this time around!
This comment doesn't have enough likes. It needs more.
Mandy C. Thats amazing!
Aidan Callahan thank you!
They didn't even need to mention anything else. Customization in Far Cry 5? TAKE MY MONEY.
Ubisoft is basically saying with all their games: "Don't trust men with man-buns"
I am from Montana, and can verify that this is all 100% accurate.
Pale Poet Warlord including the existence of a Hope County?
Some Guy Ok so maybe not 100%
As a rule of thumb, IF Its in far cry, DONT go there at all!
What. The. Hell. I seriously just moved to Montana less than a year ago, and some of the weirdest shit keeps happening. And now almost as if on queue, this game comes along to document the whole thing.
8th reason: The place is not real. You cannot go there.
With enough drugs you can go on a trip there.
9th reason: No drug is strong enough to let you go on a trip there. They would shoot the drug dead before that.
*cough* there's an actual place named Hope County, Montana *cough*
+Rhiro Yonve
There is an actual place called Montana, but not hope county.
+Rhiro Yonve that would be the town in arkansas
I've never played a Fry Cry game before, but man does this ever look interesting. I may have to give them a whirl.
Look at that badass priest man! I'd start going to church for that guy.
Hope County makes North Korea look like Disneyland
Pixelated Horsemen you a brave man
Pixelated Horsemen they roast you good so you're still intact for display
not a way for a man to die
I know it's been 20 minutes, I'm sorry, my RUclips notifs aren't working well
It is the direct opposite of North Korea
Well at least in Hope county you have the right to bear arms, you know why?
BECAUSE AMERICA THATS WHY🎆🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎆🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎆
That reminds me of the absolutely lovely vacation I had in New Bordeaux. I am so looking forward to this one. Having my way with miscreants is always a joy.
Hope County - still not as bad as Hull
FlimandCo Burnley Biggest Shit Hole In UK
live in hull currently but this got me rolling, lmao
түlεя јσsερн Where I'm from, there's no sun. My hometown's in the dark.
I didn't even know this game was coming but now I am hype. This looks awesome!
I'm glad the place I live is being represented in a game with 100% accuracy
I'm from Montana. Still live here. Beautiful place.
How about a list of places not to vacation? Ostagar and Redcliffe in Dragon Age Origins.
Kirkwall during the Qunari attack or mage revolts in Dragon Age 2. Earth in the crappy endings of Mass Effect 3.
Just Kirkwall in general, really. Even when it wasn't overflowing with rampaging Qunari, it was still a festering shithole of slavers and blood mages.
I really hope this one has their own Rabi Ray Rana😀 That guy improved 4 by 33%
The Spread Eagle. The Whistling Beaver. Oh god the innuendo... it doesn't stop
This one time, at band camp...
3:04 that deer has very elk-like features.
Seriously though, can't wait to hunt in this game. Montana is one of my favorite places to go for big game hunting.
the priest as a revolver in a bible and miniguns on a cropduster with religous nuts five stars on tripadviser
Reason 8: It's in Montana. There's nothing there. Why would you want to vacation somewhere where there is nothing but flat ground and nature? Camping? What the heck is that?
You could try RUST game in real.
Wrong, not all flat only the eastern part. The Western part is very mountains and green.
WHEREISSPACEBAR you think there's nothing in Montana come on down to Oklahoma. We practically don't exist because there's so little here
Illusionary wall ahead At least you guys have a sports team.
I would like to say that we don't have flat ground up here it's actually pretty rough terrain in the west part, come on up and I'll put you through a 26 mile ruck march.
Sorry, Ellen, but "risking the bears" is a terrible idea. You may be adorable but you are still edible.
I really hope that the police aspect of this game will be used well. Seeing as the other Far Cry games have been in more "unique" areas, and this one is set in the USA then it would be interesting to see how the developers would implement it into a game series that they haven't used before.
This game makes me want to watch all six seasons of Justified. Announce Raylan Givens DLC already
This is a very creative concept for a Far Cry game. Can't wait to see how they handle this.
Brings a new meaning to a "activity " holiday..
You know its a friendly neighborhood when the priest is carrying a shotgun
Connor Byrne lol
As a montana resident, this is so funny and spookily accurate of what it's like in extremely rural Montana
It's time for a Let's Play of Ellen playing kingdoms of Amalur, #LetEllenPlayKoA!
How many people notice the nice lady sunbathing down the river at the beginning
Sounds like a perfect vacation spot actually
This is going to be one of the best games in the franchise I can't wait till next year
In really excited for this!
8. This is Mike's practicing grounds for his new explosive devices.
9. Jane conducts all of her science experiments here, including the one that started off Prey by making mimics.
10. Andy is somewhere in the background using his stealth skills to practice his hitman kills.
As A Reverand, I like that preacher. He seems the alright sort.
I was wondering where you got the cut scene footage from? That's really cool!
Tomorrow is going to be the next show of the weekend can't wait😋🎉
can't wait for this :D
Legend has it that Ellen's "Bye" at the end of the video is higher than a bald eagle can fly
looks fun, Feb 2018's a long time to wait..
I live in Montana, and this is exciting. Lots of roaming militias, cults, resistances, and Elen I started playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. I'm thinking of playing a mage, but what do you recommend?
Ellen gives me hope.
video liked straight away nellie your brilliant :)
Montana is a great place! Not portrayed correctly in far cry 5 but it is a game and needs a story line and this looks like a fun game
Havent been this hyped for a far cry game ever😍
I love all the friendly npc's already
If Ellen or Mike could charge an outpost screaming "WOLVERINES!" that would make me incredibly happy!
Gameplay and story wise this looks exactly like Far Cry 3 & 4... And I fucking love it.
I'm looking forward to this.
The best thing to do is to look out for bald men in tuxedos with a small rope.
Wait, that's hope city.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
The graphics look great. I'm sure we all know or can predict by now, what's going to happen to them in the future. Let's hope that Ubisoft surprises us and the pattern doesn't continue.
Ghost191 ya'll mind if I
Downgrade!
It's like skyrim with crazy religious culti... it's like skyrim with guns
well I guess Skyrim has mods....
As someone who played Skyrim again a couple weeks ago........How?
Alannah TheSuccubusQueen it's a reference to an old far cry 3 review where somebody said it's like far cry with guns I wasn't being serious
Well, once you've taken care of Joshua's siblings it's a pretty nice place.
You can just leave him to stew in his private compound while you tour the rest of the county and nothing bad ever happens despite all those worrying news reports on the radio.

And yes that sounds like an excellent idea for a video.
Just makes you want to hop across the pond doesn't it, Ellen?
priest: do you believe in god and heaven?
me: no that much.
priest:**pulls out shotgun**
priest: the fuck outta here!
This looks pretty good!!
Ah so nice to see a game set in my state and from the looks of it, it's set in the more scenic side. Not the Gods awful eastern portion near the oil patch...though I could see a far cry set in that area as well...
This game sounds like a plot line in banshee. I love it
As someone living in Nebraska, I don't know if I should be condemning Ubisoft for stereotyping the Western United States, or applauding them for making it a lot more interesting.
I (from Serbia) played Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 and was not really offended when they started showing Serbians as genocidal monsters.But,if you did get offended by it,it's fine.
This might sound like a weird question, but what was the music? I KNOW I've heard it before but I can't place where.
I've never had interest in a far cry game but this looks pretty damn good
I can't go to places which sound terrifying, I can't go to places which sound hopeful, I can't go to places which sound like a metal album...where _can_ I go?
Wisconsin?
Nicholas Cross good cheese and beer.
Looks very very interesting!
Ah, fun times ahead peeps!
When I am playing the game will definitely be playing music from Justified.
There is no Hope County MT. I live smack dab in the center of Montana. Still excited to see a Farcry game set in my home state.
Desh Mystery it's a fictional location based on a real montana county
Desh Mystery Sigh, when will people realize that video game devs make up fictional locations for settings?
I mean, I'll be damned if it doesn't LOOK like my relative backyard! (so cool.)
was that at the end someone being pushed into a bell at the clock tower.. and in the picture doesnt the man with the knife with the odd hair look like the same guy from the witcher 3 first DLC
A plane? That sounds like an aggravating mission waiting to happen!
Don't know much about the far cry series (as I've only played far cry 3) and didn't know anything about far cry 5, but I swear that guy at 1:29 looks a hell of a lot like Dennis from far cry 3
But will there be Blood Dragons?
Znijik I wish but they killed all the blood dragons
The Pastor actually seems like a neat character.
Those bears are tiny. Black bears are the smallest kind.
I bet Jane, Andy & Mike have already booked tickets.
That's a first, Ellen went a whole video without laughing.
I can't wait to visit Hope County to stop in at the Whistling Beaver and have a drink with the Spread Eagle family😂
can't help but point out that if that man fires the gatling cannon / minigun he just put on that floatplane then he is going to nosedive right into the ground
By looking at their "Last Supper" imagery you cannot find the NPC that is going to be "Judas", who makes the throat slitting symbology in Da Vinci's painting. Buy using that painting it makes me wonder if there's a character on the bad-guys team that's is going to help you take down the main villain(i.e Jesus, which I gotta say is weird correlating Jesus with the main antagonist of the game even for an atheist like me).
I can't believe that even as a crazed cult, they think a wolf would make a good dinner guest. They never know which fork to use...
What about your studio ? It seems like a good vacation place. Good lights , good people , good photographers , good physicists , good androids , good ol sentient planets hell if only you weren't living underwater in a corporate building which is an apartment.
P41 with a mini gun? Where do I sign?
For one, Jerome should probably be a sinner for cutting a gun hole into the holy book.
But then again, he did cut a gun hole into the holy book.
This was the first time I realized there was a dead body in the water at the beginning..
I am planning my next vacation for Hope County Montana
#3: well, meeting Xena should be a very good reason to go! :O
Needs more Chuck Norris.
Just go up a little north you will reach Canada:D A much nicer and more peaceful place, a bit colder too.
... nobody is going to tell them that Whistling Beaver is a Lager and Spread Eagle is the Bar?
I am not convinced. Where can I book my tickets?
another settlement has called for help here ill mark it on your map
Forward past Resident Evil 7, left at Outlast 2 then a hard right at the crossing.
All I need to know is if there's something in the water to be afraid of. (like the Demon fish in Far Cry 4)
Is that slow motion or is the frame rate that bad?
