[MerrickG]

Ubisoft dropped a big hint that Farcry 3 could be getting a definite edition!

I LOVED this game

famousmortimer told me some time ago that this was a title being considered for an HD update.

I'm down for the PS4 version if Blood Dragon is included.

Yeah, this would be awesome, but I am hesitant to believe it would be since they are completely unrelated games.

Only way I'd pick up the PS4/XB1 version is if it includes Blood Dragon is packaged in it.

I don't have/haven't played Far Cry 3 so I'd be interested.

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I just started playing this via our PS5 PS Plus subscription. Far Cry 4 was my first of the series, but I've really enjoyed each installment since. But, I had really low expectations, considering this was originally a PS3 game, especially after streaming 4 old PS3 games recently via PS Plus (Arkham Origins, Resistance 3, Force Unleashed 1 & 2) which looked and played pretty atrocious, between horribly compressed graphics and motion mechanics that felt extremely unrefined, if not outright buggy. But, being remastered for the PS4, this one was available for full download and wow, it still holds up very well, not just in graphics but in its mechanics. Having a blast with it so far.

First platinum I've gone for in years. It was easy to plat, considering there's no multiplayer or coop trophies to earn. I did knock difficulty down to easy on the final boss fight though. It's a simple prompted fight, where you have a short time to hit the button that appears on the screen, but it felt like the timing was off, playing on the PS5, or maybe I just wasn't holding the buttons long enough. Not sure if easy was actually more forgiving, but between reading about making sure you hold the button for a second or two and setting it to easy, it was a breeze to beat.

I can see why people think it's better than FarCry 4. I liked it so much, I'm thinking about picking up a physical copy, as I don't expect to renew PS+ premium for another year. I mainly wanted it for streaming PS3 games, but the quality of PS3 streaming is absolutely horrible. I'm convinced they look and play better from a disc using an actual PS3 console, and not just the compression, the graphics themselves look like they were downsampled something awful. That or 200-250mbs (tethered) isn't a fast enough connection for streaming games in half decent quality.

The only thing I hated in FarCry 3 was the driving; the entire game was like steering on ice, then I'd finally get going straight and hit something I couldn't even see and do a 180. It was hilarious how even the NPCs are constantly driving off bridges or otherwise wrecking their vehicles. Worst driving mechanics I've ever seen, at least adapted to a PS5, which a number of PS4 games I have don't play quite as well on the PS5. But at least you're not dependent on driving for most of the game.

You bought a subscription specifically to stream PS3 games? That certainly doesn't fit the anti-digital stance that you prescribe in your signature and avatar.

I subscribed for multiplayer. I upgraded to premium this year only because it was discounted last BF, and streaming via their premium tier is the only way I can revisit some PS3 games I used to love, despite still having physical copies of, but can't play because our PS3 hasn't worked in years and the PS5 is only backward compatible for last gen.

You can buy another PS3.
