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!

I personally like him. I think Ubisoft is really on to something with their villains. It almost has sort of a comic-book villain vibe to it.

A poor-quality villain demeans both the hero and the story.

But if he's not white, we can't be mad at him for being mean to that minority! Now I'll have to find something else to be incensed about.

If Ubi wants this guy to be iconic, they need to tune down his craziness a bit and show his brilliance. The Joker has just the right amount of insanity, and that is tempered by a master criminal mind. Heath Ledger opened The Dark Knight with a brilliant bank heist, and he didn't just spontaneously jam a pencil into that mobster's eye; it was a magic trick. I recall only one overt act of cruelty by Raoul Silva in Skyfall, when he shot that woman, and in all fairness he gave Bond a chance to shoot first. They were not defined by insanity but rather enhanced by flair.

I both hated and was thoroughly unimpressed by Vaas and that other bad guy, what's his name, in Far Cry 3. Unfortunately despite some passing resemblance, pink suit in Far Cry 4 feels more like Far Cry 3 stock than any master criminal of better lore.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I agree with your statement about them showing his brilliance more. The first thing I thought when I seen this was that they were trying to channel Vaas with a bit of the Joker. I still think he is gonna be a memorable villain though.

Great on the shoes of another pretty playboy. Is this a retelling of Far Cry 3? I can't even understand why people thought it had a great story but anyway, I hope it plays as good a FC3 at least.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Naw, FC3's story was really weak. The ending was particularly dumb - I mean seriously, was that supposed to be a real choice at the end!? What was fun was exploration and taking over bases with stealth.

Someone is confusing Tibet with Japan again.

Obvious mistake to make, if you're a bit stupid, or American (they aren't mutually exclusive).

<< LINK REMOVED >> Judging by the entire footage, this was probably all an in-game/engine cinematic, maybe even from the first few minutes. Game's not out yet bud, let's take everything with grains of salt and not saltiness :P
