Melee combat and the recurve bow were also added to the mix in Far Cry 4. In fact, Far Cry 3 and 4 gave you the tools to take out outposts without firing a shot. You could ride elephants into combat, aggravate rhinos and make them tear through enemy vehicles and throw bait to take out outposts. You saw leopards hunting down yaks, eagles swiping sheep and invincible badgers that could survive dozens of 9mm slugs. In Far Cry 3 and 4, the animal AI received a considerable overhaul and animals started to play a more vital role in progression and story. While Far Cry was set in an island paradise, Far Cry 2 was set in Africa and what's Africa without herds of grazing wildebeest, antelope and the occasional tiger? Ubisoft started work on an animal AI of sorts and the results, while acceptable, weren't anything to write home about. It was a seed sown in Far Cry 2 that eventually blossomed into Far Cry Primal animals. But the game wasn't too bad and set the tone for the sequels. Ubisoft did stumble with the franchise at first, with the mildly disappointing Far Cry 2. Crytek eventually went on to create the game's spiritual successor, the Crysis franchise. Originally developed out of a garage by Crytek, the rights were later sold to Ubisoft. Gorgeous settings, incredibly intelligent AI (still excellent even by today's standards) and gunplay that was unmatched for a long time. The original Far Cry hit the PC in 2004, about 12 years ago, and set the bar very high as far as PC gaming was concerned. In a first for the series, you don't have any guns. The game takes an entirely new direction, as far as the theme is concerned. Far Cry Primal, the fourth iteration of the game in Ubisoft's hands (fifth in the franchise) is all set to hit the PC tomorrow.
