I don't really understand the idea that two games with the same setting can't do well if released close to one another. It's like saying that Battlefield will flop if it releases close to CoD. If the game is good, it will do well. Far Cry has a pretty substantial fan-base and it's not all that similar to RDR.
As for the game itself, I'm down. Far Cry games are fun and I'm a much bigger fan of traditional rifles than I am automatic weapons. I just hope it has forests and such. I'm kind of burnt out on deserts. |
You are not taking in consideration it's up against a Rockstar game, not just a similar game.
Rockstar games are massive things, all the attention will be going towards Redemption 2, not saying it'll make a Far Cry flop, but it'll certainly affect it.
Would be much more wise to hold it for a bit than actually releasing close to Redemption 2.
Primal came around February, didn't it? If Redemption 2 comes this holidays just hold it (Far Cry) until March and it's already avoiding most of the damage releasing under a Rockstar game would cause.

I just don't see it being such a big deal that they should skip the holiday season unless it really does need a delay. One is an FPS with its own style and the other is a TPS with its own style. Those who like Far Cry games will buy it.
Personally, if RDR2 is anything like the first game, I'll take a good Far Cry over it any day of the week. RDR was one of my bigger gaming disappointments in recent years. Granted, Rockstar has the resources to fix all the issues RDR had but they're going to have to prove it before I'll buy it.
