I’m a survivor
A hella-of-a-lot of video games came out yesterday, fromDark Souls IIItoRatchet & Clank, but perhaps you’re short on cash, barely making rent, waiting on a tax refund (or, in my case, owe the IRS way too much). Maybe you want to take advantage of the games you’ve already plonked money on and, for some weird reason, you don’t feel like playingResident Evil 4right now (a wild hypothetical, I know; who doesn’t want to playResident Evil 4all the time?)
Well, Ubisoft has you covered.The Divisionisn’t the only Ubi-game that saw an update yesterday.Far Cry Primal(catch both ourreviewanddedicated podcast) has added a4K texture optionfor PC players and, more importantly, a new Survivor Mode for everyone.
To quoteJordan, “The mode is playable on any difficulty setting and alters a number ofPrimal‘s mechanics to be more ‘realistic.’ In practice, that means (optional) permanent death, stamina concerns, less-powerful beast companions, lowered map visibility, and not quite as many wild animals and humans roaming around. Also, you can ‘no longer rain remote-control death on foes using [your] owl.'”
