I have been wanting a game like this for years. If they are being entirely accurate that it's a mesolithic setting, that means no metals, no guns, not even pottery. No dinosaurs.
They talk about how humans had developed 150 ways to sharpen stone. 
It takes place just after the Ice Age. The Oros is a valley enriched by a retreating glacier.

This isn't gonna be like a full $60 game is it?
Because if it's like Blood Dragon I might consider it but if it's not then just no.
Oh really when?
This is going to be a full game, not a total mod like Blood Dragon. In essence, this is Far Cry 5, but since it takes place during late Ice Age...

Shouldn't be if they aim for historical accuracy. The earliest known tower is from the pre-pottery neolithic, in Jericho. It was ~12 feet tall.

A full game of nothing but spears and crude bows?
No thank you.
Oh really when?

This sounds like it's gonna be fun.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
It's what basically The Stomping Land would be, but with smilodons and cave bears and not dinos.

But they didn't have AKs in the ice age. 
A lot of the game will probably be like The Long Dark, too.

Can't forget the Elasmotherium, cave lions, aurochs, and hyenas.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
I hope they manage to keep the weapon variety up, considering that this game is pre-Bronze Age. And no vehicles...have humans domesticated horses or other riding animals yet?
I'll reserve judgment until we get more info but I do wonder if this game will have the variety in gear, transport, and tactics that we've seen in previous Far Cry games. I bet there will be an even bigger focus on stealth, group tactics and close range kills as well. Also drug trips.
Maybe dogs, but I don't think there's anything else that would be domesticated.
Hmmm....Ice Age? That could be interesting. I don't recall too many games that have done that time period let alone a open world game in it.

Pretty much it's just dogs at this point, it's the Neolithic (Another era untouched by gaming) when we really start seeing the domestication of other species.

I mean, some individual human jumping on and breaking a horse to ride isn't totally out of the question, right?
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
Horses were in Africa. This takes place in a valley where a glacier has just retreated.

There are glaciers in Africa.
Who watches the watchmen?
You know, I don't get the point of this game.
Like, there were elephants and tigers in the last game.
Now there are fuzzy elephants and buck-tooth tigers in this game.
But like, none of the cool mechanics in the last games.
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else

Considering we don't even know what the game mechanics are going to be by final product I think that assumption might be a bit premature.
Who watches the watchmen?
A real bad hombre
I was just thinking a while back about how I think that this setting has been underused, and of a survival-type game set there would be awesome.
I really hope Ubisoft does their research.

I am hoping we get the clubs, axes, knives, spears, and bows in all. Better yet I hope we get the Atlatl.
Who watches the watchmen?
I be there will be a camp that eschews accuracy in favor of coolness.
That said, inb4 rideable sabertooths and mammoths. Or Flintstones-like cars.
My DA account... I draw stuff sometimes!
I'm a mammoth, motherfucker!
