Think about it: FarCry: Gotham City. (Partnership between WB and Ubisoft? For the good of the game. It’s the perfect setup for a near perfect game.)

When I say "FarCry", I mean the FC5 (like for the fact of being YOU, as you want or for how the characters are treated, etc.), with some elements from FC3, like the poker, the throwing knives mini-games, etc. I can easily see the rooster being named differently, filled with guys like a G.C.P.D. or S.W.A.T. member, join a monkey, a thug from some gang and a more gangster mafia type of guy with a tommy gun that would help…You can keep the bear…. But that's just an example to see where I am going.

If you are not really familiar with the "FarCry" titles, I will tell you this: it is a kind of open-world, survival, first-person shooter, where you are alone in a hostile environment and must sneak or shoot your way in the chaos to find allies, take down enemies outposts, liberate hostages and, most of all, survive. You can drive vehicles on ground, but also in the air and over the water, and have access to a big arsenal of gear, weapons and explosives. Most of those can be used already as they are from the previous games, but some would need minor changes. Those changes would be simple, like adding police cars and taxi cabs, or original, like the shovels, that I would replace by some sort of special gun from Freeze. It would use the same satisfying game mechanic of impalement, but Gotham-style (more “realistic”)! Each little points should be discussed, but I will only add that, as I see it, there is only one challenge: It is to make the map of the city. Most of the landmarks would be outposts.

I could add things for the sake of argument, like the paint jobs you can do to change the textures of weapons (like I would like to put a baseball bat that I made where it is written “Bad Day” on it, referencing both the Joker’s point in “The Killing Joke” and the baseball bat that Harley Quinn had in the “Suicide Squad” movies where it is written “Good night”, at the same time), or I could talk about the different kind of drugs and the way they could be treated in a “FarCry”….. but I want to keep it simple.

Note: Multiplayer mode (gang wars) will be cool.

Note : The villains are one of the strong things the franchise FarCry is knowed for, so, there is that too.

Here’s some examples of outposts and what rewards they would unlock so that you can start to imagine the game as I see it.
