Far Cry 5’s intro is cinematic and fast-paced

I’m playing through Far Cry 5 right now, and I’ll have a review up soon. I went into the game with some doubts, but that skepticism had nothing to do with Ubisoft’s capability to create a cinematic and compelling open-world. And it turns out I was right not to worry about that aspect of the game.

I’ve captured the first 50 minutes of Far Cry 5 (running on PlayStation 4 Pro), and you can see what I mean after a couple of minutes of that footage. The performance capture, the score, and scene framing may not match the level of the greatest dramas on HBO or AMC, but it feels on par with something you’d find on FX.
