Looks like you can throw food to attract animals and we finally have footage of someone riding an elephant into combat.

This...is.........HORRIBLE ![]()
Though i have to wonder if there's any graphics downgrade this time or how badly optimized it is, Ubisoft usually talks too much for their own good especially about how much they're trying to do better and improving their sh!t.

Horribly awesome. ![]()
Can't wait to Nathan Drake it up and then hang out with a White Tiger.

Far Cry 3 on PC wasn't that bad. Far Cry 4 will hopefully follow suit.
Here's a Far Cry 4 developer diary in collaboration with Vice where they went to Nepal, the inspiration for Kyrat, and researched the land, the people, their civil war, and their religion. Even if you could care less about Far Cry 4, it's still an interesting documentary.
Somewhat graphic

Here's a short version of the glimpse into Kyrat.
Wonder how many poor souls will fall victim to the dreaded Honey Badger.


Here's our lovable baddie's backstory.
The redrafted story became about a young man named Pagan Min. However, Pagan’s birth name is actually Gang Min. Born the son of a mid-level drug boss in Hong Kong, the Min family was well off, but not without its conflicts. Pagan’s mother was a British expatriate, and Pagan’s mixed heritage caused his father a great deal of shame among the criminal elite.
As Pagan grew up, he started to work for his father, but his father was always a small fish in a big pond and Pagan had bigger ambitions. Pagan saw his father – and his contemporaries – as relics of the past. They were dinosaurs, and it was time for a change.
“Pagan was a bit of an outsider to his father,” says Thompson. “He’s always been a bit of a peacock; slightly more flamboyant than his father was comfortable with. So after his father was killed, Pagan took the name Pagan Min – naming himself after the Burmese King who killed his father. That was Pagan’s message, he didn’t want to say that he killed his father, but he named himself after the man who did.”
Pagan took his family’s modest fortunes and built a small private army. But small armies don’t go unnoticed, especially within the Golden Triangle (one of the world’s largest regions of opium production located between Myanmar, Laos and Thailand). Pagan’s father had had a lot of powerful friend within the criminal underworld, and Pagan was turning them into a powerful enemies. Not long after Pagan made a grab for power, the “dinosaurs” put a price on his head.
Looking for sanctuary, Pagan sought refuge in a small failed state in the midst of a civil war. This country was Kyrat, and Pagan believed he could become the country’s savior. In 1987, as an arrogant 21-year-old, Pagan entered Kyrat and began a bloody siege that ended only after Pagan was firmly seated on the throne.
The young overlord’s new Royal Army corrupted existing business and infrastructure, and many of the profits from the heroin trade boosted Pagan’s coffers. Kyrat’s new monarch even planted his face on the money, and his official department of communications started blasting propaganda from radio towers scattered across the country. Kyrat became a fractured reflection of its narcissistic ruler.
Pagan may be powerful, but his power isn’t unchallenged. Early into Pagan’s leadership, a resistance movement led by a man named Mohan Ghale frustrated Pagan’s supremacy with tactful guerilla skirmishes. However, Mohan and Pagan weren’t just fighting for a country; they were fighting for the love of a woman named Ishwari. When this awkward love triangle ended with Mohan’s death, Ishwari fled the country, and Pagan retreated into his palace, leaving Kyrat to his lunatic governors.
This is where players enter into the story. As Mohan’s son – a man named Ajay Ghale – players return to Kyrat for the first time since they were a child in order to scatter their mother’s ashes across the top of Kyrat’s tallest mountain.
“Pagan has lots to reveal about your mother,” says Thompson. “Pagan has a personal connection to you that you don’t understand, and he uses that as a weapon against you. He’s fun and charming, but also terrifying – evil, but weirdly friendly. He can come talk to you very matter of factly while everyone around you is being murdered. Your whole world is falling apart, but for him it’s 11 o’clock on a Tuesday.”
This is the opponent players will have to face down as soon as they cross Kyrat’s borders. Pagan is a psychopathic mess who is terrified of dying alone without a legacy, so how will he treat the son of his one true love and his most hated rival? Players will have to wait until Far Cry 4 releases this fall to find out.

Thoughts?
Nothing is simple in Far Cry 4. There is no black and white. Everyone has an agenda. Even the supposed “good guys” are sometimes torn apart by in-fighting and opposing methods and motives. It’s within this morally relativistic setting that you’ll be forced to make choices that shape the world around you along with the story being told.
The Golden Path is the rebel faction in Kyrat; Ajay will eventually ally with them in his fight against Pagan Min. But there are different paths to take, different leaders to side with in the Golden Path, and that will change everything for Ajay (and Kyrat).
“With the Golden Path, what we wanted to achieve was this idea that even though they’re the good guys, they’re kind of muddled about how they should achieve their aims,” Hutchinson explains. “So the player will be able to choose which leader of the Golden Path they’re following. They both want to target Pagan Min, but how they do it, why they do it, and what the consequences will be are radically different.”
There is no clear “light” side or “dark” side in the Golden Path. In fact, it’s more akin to old versus new. Both leaders have their own reasons for why they do things the way they do, and at times the feuding between them goes to extremes. On the one hand you have someone hoping to end Pagan Min’s reign and preserve the old ways, which might be seen as “repressive and strange” in a modern world. On the other hand you have a leader determined to bring Kyrat into the present by embracing riskier business ventures like drug and weapons in order to bring much-needed money to the country.
These leaders will force you to make decisions at key moments that will affect the story, the missions and even the tools at your disposal. Hutchinson further explains that these choices won’t be made dispassionately; Ajay is caught up in a family feud wrought with emotion, which means you’re likely to find yourself stuck in the middle quite a bit. Choose wisely, though: What you do will decide the fate of Kyrat in Far Cry 4.

You hear that people? Actual decisions that shape the game world from the story to the gameplay.
Hope Ubisoft can deliver.
No i can't hear but i can read ! either way i will believe it when i see it.
Creative director answering some questions.
Some noteworthy things in my opinion:
- There are four key antagonists serving under Pagan Min, two men and two women, and they have their own regions and ways to dispatch.
-Vaas is dead, gone, buried (
) but a few other characters from Far Cry 3 will be returning.
- It's too early to talk about Far Cry 4: Blood Dragon, but stay tuned.
- Far Cry 4 will have the best Far Cry map editor ever.
- In regards to the Keys of Kyrat, you can only play two hours in the open world.
-There are no planes, just gyrocopters.
The only question I want to know is, will Far Cry 4 continue the themes similar to FC2 and 3? Descent into Human savagery, becoming a killer, morality etc? I've always like the series dark themes of Human nature and I hope Far Cry 4 continues it, it looks...bombastic at least and more comical.

Agreed and you're right about the comical element, check out the new footage for Shangri La:
Fun fact: Elephants crave the taste of human blood.
Is there a reason in the story for Hurk fighting with Ajay? That always puzzled me.
No idea, but judging from the DLC being named Hurk's Redemption, I'm guessing he screwed up big time on Rook Island and is trying to absolve himself in Kyrat by fighting with the "good guys" or he became bored and drifted to other conflict zones.

That's probably a good guess. Maybe Hurk helped him get to Kyrak in the first place? (I have no clue about the story beyond that).
Or maybe Hurk is just a freelance mercenary offering his services to Ajay cheap as an excuse for some action.

Something tells me I will like this villain.
Can't wait for this game. FC3 was so much fun. And I think the setting in FC4 looks even better. Lets hope Ubisoft can deliver the goods.

And a blood dragon sequel after that.. hopefully
A new trailer starring Pagan Min!
