By now we are no strangers to the very over exaggerated (though somewhat accurate) representation of the rural northwest that FAR CRY 5 is set to depict. Recently they released a new trailer detailing the story we should come to expect from the next game in the franchise.
Welcome to time where a resistance is being mounted against Joseph Seed, the leader of a Doomsday cult named "The Project at Eden’s Gate". In Hope County Montana he controls much of the local government, and its people, and it is up to you and the resistance to stop him.
Some things that really stood out to me in the trailer were the fact that you can run over people with tractors. There was something about the visual that provided that got me excited for the action that the Far Cry games usually bring.
For those interested in knowing a little more about the game and what it has to offer, here are a few key elements that the game hopes to achieve:
Far Cry comes to America in the latest installment of the award-winning franchise.
Welcome to Hope County, Montana. When your arrival incites the cult to violently seize control of the region, you must rise up and spark the fires of resistance to liberate a besieged community.
Freely explore Hope County’s rivers, lands, and skies with the largest customizable weapon and vehicle roster ever in a Far Cry game. You are the hero of the story in a thrilling world that hits back with every punch, and where the places you discover and the locals you ally with will shape your story in ways you’ll never see coming.

This trailer makes me pretty excited for the game. I have played pretty much everyone of them so far, and besides Blood Dragon, and Primal this looks to be the most fun yet in my opinion.
