Why create something new when you can just reuse massive amounts of assets from an older game? Hell, people will even pay full price for whatever to shovel out to them as long as you give it a shiny new coat of paint.
The fine folks over at GamePressure.com snapped some screenshots from the game over-worlds for both Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 4. In the photos you can clearly see how similar everything lines up, with major rock formations, rivers, and bodies of water being almost spot on.
UbiSoft made it clear that Far Cry Primal was not a glorified expansion pack, instead being an all new game, but it does seem that the company cut some corners to get the game out. When you have hundreds of people working on a game it only makes sense to reuse large-scale assets…
That being said, one of our writers has been having a blast playing Far Cry Primal.
Check out the photos below and judge for yourself.
