Avatar Frontiers of Pandora update coming this December (3rd person mode, NG+)

Will this update unfuck coop? They removed shared progression in the last update because "potential exploits". Who gives a shit about that in non multiplayer game.
 
Why add NG+? No one bought the game let alone finished it, myself included

By the far the most sleep inducing, monotonous Ubibloat game out there. It's gorgeous yeah, but that's about it.
 
I myself much prefer 3rd person over first person but based on most people impressions this is type of Ubisoft game I would hate so I dont think adding 3rd person will automatically make the game better.

I grabbed it not too long ago as well. Haven't played it yet.

You will first need to endure the long opening story and tutorial sequence before it drops you into the open world to experience the graphics.
I'm curious how many people dropped the game before that.

If the update was useful they would put a menu item on the front page. "Give me an Ikran and get me into the world"
Let me fly around. None of that story and game stuff.
 
Play this game if you like Crysis. Imagine the harbour assault from 1 or the dam mission from 3 existing in a world like Far Cry Primal with really good FPS platforming and some quirky touches.

The mission to get an Ikran was awesome and did the movie justice.

The story and characters are a complete misfire, but I get the sense that Avatar fanatics ate it up. It has this awful "written by HR" mood. Thankfully you can skip most stuff...
 
When are they going to make first person games like VR games where you move your camera independent of your gun/hand? Can we get some innovation in the console AAA space? This FPS design from the 90 needs to go away.
 
If the third person is actually done well then i'm in.

I actually enjoyed my first few hours with the game. Just it being a typical FPS bored me, I reckon this would make it a lot more fun.
 
This is about what you want and expect from a movie tie-in. If Ubi budgeted accordingly, this actually worked out. Historically the best you can really expect from a licensed tie-in is a serviceable or better action romp with plenty of A/V fan service. I'm not an Avatar fan at all, but it seems like they were pretty happy with it on that front. Graphics look nice on youtube.
 
This just got revealed - it's another expansion. So in addition to all those other updates and changes that are coming soon, we're also getting this (though you'll have to pay for this).

Meanwhile they don't do 3rd person update for farcry6 because that's gonna be the main new feature for farcry7 ..

Fire effects look good in the trailer, if that's an indicator of the fire they're doing in-game, it should be another looker. (Fire will of course be a major part of this story branch, so it should be a focus of the FX works for this project.)
 
Bump.

It's a pity that, at this stage in his amazing career, James Cameron seems to be making only Avatar films. I'm honestly a bit tired of Avatar and not really looking forward to the new movie(s). What I was looking forward to, though, is the third-person update of Avatar Frontiers of Pandora. It came out today, and I'm planning to dive into it after work. I really didn't enjoy playing in first-person because it gives me motion sickness.

NeoGAF still doesn't seem very enthusiastic about the game, probably because it's from Ubisoft and a lot of people are weary of Avatar by now as well.

FYI: PC version after this patch got support for DLSS4 with RR and MFG, XeSS 2.0 with FG, and FSR 3.1 (no integrated FSR 4 tho, requires driver side override).

Sounds like the 4th and 5th movies are a longshot at this point, for what it's worth.

I own it, and I started to get a few hours in earlier this year then they announced third person mode.

Said I'll hold off to try it that way as I think it'll make it even better.

I was liking what I had played.

I'd be willing to give it another shot if they changed enough of it, the map being the biggest offender.

I just remember being super bummed overall. I thought it'd be like a FC Primal, but with guns..and it SORTA is, except the gunplay sucks, the outpost equivalents aren't fun to take over and there is way, way, WAY to much crafting and material collecting. I'm also the farthest thing from an Avatar superfan, so maybe that had something to do with it (doubt).

I got it on sale last holiday on Steam. Played three hours. Felt like an average AAA game, though extremely gorgeous. I will give it an honest shot eventually.
 
Would've bought it, when i would knew Ali G is an producer on this game!

Booyakasha!
