What's a good way to grab people's attention at the start of your press conference? If you're Ubisoft, you ratchet up the crazy right from the outset. That's what the mega-publisher did at its E3 2014 presser with a little snapshot into the insanity of Far Cry 4.

Let's not beat around the bush here: the real star of this intro was Far Cry 4's villain, he of the pink suit and stylish haircut. Not only did we see him scold one of his own minions on the subtleties of the English language before brutally stabbing him to death, he also went on to pose for a smartphone selfie alongside the player character with all that fresh blood splattered on his face. Yep--definitely a villain.

So what do you think? How does this new antagonist stack up against Vaas from Far Cry 3? Take a look at the video and then let us know in the comments!

the official far cry Facebook page posted the selfie that the villain made with the main character. The protagonist is not white, if you look at the photo he's clearly asian. really liking the villain. He;s voiced by troy baker, I'm calling it right now.

I remember how marketing victims hyped the FC3 story and how lame and boring story and villain turned out. And yet another generic protagonist you have to play, it seems.

I hope it doesn't have such poor and unrewarding systems as 3 like those numerically numbered collectables and rinse and repeat minigames.


It was almost barren of unique optional content.

Gamespot has the worst video player ever. Had to watch this on Gametrailers. As far as Far Cry 4, I didn't see anything impressive so far.

Looks like a promising and interesting villain. Although I'm hoping the game goes beyond simple racial stereotypes this time around, and depicts a little more nuance in the enemies (like with Vaas in FC3), rather than just have the enemies as simple tribal groups/paramilitaries. This game has the graphics, the core gameplay mechanics, the setting: all the components it needs to be great. Hopefully the narrative will match...

He was born in kyrat,and is going back to spread his mother's ashes in their home country. So he's Asian/Pakistani/Arabic. Whatever he is he isn't white. What does it matter anyway? I'm sure the last thing on the developer's mind's is race. Looks like it's going to be a good game and the villain seems to have what it takes to drive the story forward. I approve.

<< LINK REMOVED >> That's the average gamer tbh. They want to appeal to the average customer. Though I have played as black characters in many games just like I play as a lot of female characters. To me, I want to be something other than what I am in a game, so instead of playing as "me" essentially, I usually play as female characters in games so I can make them my own character and not base them on myself.

Thought the FC4 demo was very cliched and pretty boring to be brutally honest.

He reminds me of the villain in Skyfall Javier Bardem's character. But he sounds a little like Benedict Cumberbatch

Not bad, but he's a lot more like the second island boss from FC3, than Vaas.

I hope they don't make multiplayer for this game. Please concentrate on an EPIC single player story and exploration.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> haha.. cause that's what Far Cry games are about - exploration with a good single player story. Multiplayer doesn't cut it in Far Cry games. FC 2 and FC 3 had so-so multiplayers that didn't feel good for me. I just played the campaign and quit.

Looks like a badly made Hindi Movie.

I must admit that the stuff they have done with HIndi speaking mercenaries is amazing. It is as real as it gets.

@anz-2014 @faraany3k3k Well... yeah but a lot of Nepalese speak very good Hindi. In fact, if I know correctly, there is no requirement of visa for travel between India and Nepal. Correct me if I am wrong.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Ubisoft have always prided themselves on multicultural staff members. FC 4 is the best of that world. They did FC2 in Africa, FC 3 in Asia/Polynesian Islands. Now FC 4 is set in Northern India/Nepal.

Seems a bit of a cliché if you ask me. Stabbing his own guy and pretending to be friends with the protagonist and stuff.
