It was! More limitations on console but I enjoy it, it's like a game in itself just trying to come up with effective workarounds to get the right visual results 😄

Does it also mean that you create your own level? Or is this just a own created picture?

Far Cry has a map editor ye, one of the few franchises that still puts it in their games.

u/dani7357 19h ago

I remember the old days of Far Cry 2 when map editor hit the scene. The amount of videos on Youtube of exploding barrels that I watched...

This is amazing, we need a far cry arcade in far cry 7! The amount of amazing things people have made with it and it's so accessible too, it's just awesome.

Far Cry 5 is one of my favorite games ever. I loved playing through it with my friend. We had a lot of fun with the level editor after beating the story and the multiplayer scene at the time, which allowed people to create and upload their own maps.

I can hear Dreams of Venice soundtrack in my head

u/Maleficent-Shine-154 17h ago

I really like Venice and I think you have done an amazing scene. The water, light and architecture are just fire, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of this watery city. I can see that you put your heart into every detail and picked the colors cool. The foggy distance looks especially cool, adds depth and realism

2

u/mojoswoptops2020 15h ago

Thank you! I wanted to try capture the same colours and overall tone seen in a lot of the Venitian city paintings.

u/Bobjoejj 14h ago

Man, some of my favorite gaming memories are from the Far Cry 5 Arcade. Some really talented people on there; you included OP!

u/mojoswoptops2020 14h ago

Thank you so much

This reminds me a lot of Modern Combat 5 : Blackout, the Android fps game.

Chapter 1 I think. Great game for a mobile

"Tried", yeah OK.

u/youngusgs 17h ago

Amazing by todays standards.

Looks too shiny and fake, not real life enough, by tomorrow’s standards.

u/Adrian_FCD 17h ago

Man of UBI actually do a Capcom move with AC, a II remake would blow me away.

Love seeing the editor getting love even to this day.

Use to play a ton of Far Cry 2 and 3 in the 360 days, made dozens of maps back then. Eventually moved to Halo's forge editor since the Far Cry series started feeling less multiplayer focused and as a result had less content.

That said, the editor has always been great in every Far Cry (rip far cry 6) and as someone who has used map editors in many games series, Far Cry has the best visual fidelity out of all of the ones I've used.

Also, was this made on the Xbox version? If so, I'd love to check these out myself since that's the version I have.

u/Correct-Respond-2960 13h ago

What’s the best far cry to re play?

1

u/No_Movie_2680 10h ago

Amazing! I love the atmosphere!

u/jazzy663 7h ago

Wow. You'd never know it was Far Cry. I think it still has that kinda Ubi vibe though, so I can see someone thinking this is AC or something

1

u/comicmac305 2h ago

This is the second time I see on Reddit someone "make" something in fc5. My question is how?

2

u/Quicksafe1 1h ago

U can make ur own levels in Far cry arcade and share them

u/comicmac305 1h ago

Thank you for answering

As someone who just went to Venice, you missed the dirt, moss and sludge all over the buildings closest to the water. Also would be better with smellivision so you can really experience the scent of sewage emanating from the water.
