Far Cry 4 creative director Alex Hutchinson explained was recently on Major Nelson’s podcast to talk about the upcoming shooter. Hutchinson explained how the gameplay was similar across multiple platforms but that since the PC is the lead platform, the PS4 and Xbox One version would see significantly better visuals.

“Everything you see, whether it’s the fur on the animals, the grass on the ground or the leaves on the trees…All these things are bumped up a huge amount in the next gen version.”

Hutchinson also revealed that with the PC as lead platform, players will be getting high end visuals immediately. “So even out of the box, even day one, when we just stuck the code on the new consoles, we were able to dial it all the way up. So as a console player you’re already getting by far the best version we can ship.”

Far Cry 4 is out on November 18th for PC, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Which platform will you buying it for? Let us know in the comments.
