Far Cry 4’s multiplayer has teleporting ninjas

Far Cry 3’s multiplayer was a complete throw away. It was just there, like a slapped on component with no real unique ideas or adaption of the single-player material. Far Cry 4, on the other hand, is looking very different. That’s mostly because of the mystical mountain ninjas, though.

In Far Cry 4’s multiplayer, Battles of Kyrat, both teams will play as both the Golden Path and Rakshasa. The Golden Path are kitted out with all the weapons and tech you could dream of, making them more closely resemble what you’ll probably become in the single-player. They were also rebel fighters back when Pagin Min first decided to have his rave in Kyrat, inviting the Rakshasa as his party.

The Rakshasa are apparently ancient Kyrat warriors that Pagin Min used to take a hold of the mountainous area. Unlike the Golden Path, they’re old school. They use an assortment of bows and arrows, while being able to control wildlife and summon tigers at will (oh hell yeah!). But they also seem to be knee-deep in some ancient magic as well, allowing you to blink around the battlefield in colorful puffs of smoke.

Both teams will have access to both factions over the game’s three modes, which aren’t as exciting. Outpost have you trying to attack and defend outposts, while Propaganda has the Golden Path attempting to destroy the man in the pink suit’s propaganda speakers. Lastly, Demon Mask is just another variation of classic Capture the Flag, with all three matches taking place over 10 maps.

Not the most exciting game modes, but I’m really interested by the Rakshasa. Having a more stealthy faction go up against an armed to the teeth one seems like a promising asymmetrical setup. I also really want to see what it’s like being a mountain ninja, don’t you?

            I love it. The Industry forced us into HD Widescreen gaming now they are shitting their pants because the production values are too high.

            30fps is so Cinematic? Ubisoft is grasping at short straws. Not going to mention that the PS4 version of Black Flag was 1080p but the latest ASS game is 900p.

            Dont even get me started on the shit polygon counts in these games that run on systems with 8.5 GIGS of RAM.

            I hear you dude. But to be fair gaming didn’t push widescreen HD gaming on us. Widescreen, specifically 16:9 resolutions occurred because it was cheaper to manufacture 16:9 screens than it was 16:10 or 4:3 ratios.

            That aside yes, I also can’t understand how they can’t run the games at 60FPS with all the tech that’s in the 2 consoles

            Remember how SONY was giving away free SONY BRAVIA bundles with the SONY PS3?
            lol all those 60fps/1080p lies back in 2007.

            Blu ray is the future. So Microsoft said Fuck you 720p is the future and DVD9s External HD Drive is the future… looks like the 8th gen is the same shit different empty promises.

            Yeah. I remember all the lies. Remember the more recent lies just before launch? Next gen consoles will perform better than next-gen PC’s for many years to come?

        The real gamer revolution is comming. I have noticed that on all gaming sites the gamers are getting the pitch forks out.

        Blame The Last of Us Remastered. Gamers want that standard of quality from now on or don’t bother giving us new consoles every 6 years.
