British Columbia, Canada
Despite being one of the largest and fastest-growing countries in the world, Canada has never been properly featured in a video game – minus South Park: The Stick Of Truth’s hilarious 8-bit rendition. While Canada is not as geologically diverse as the United States, it’s also a lot more impressive than most people give it credit for. Central and Eastern Canada range from vast cities like Toronto, Quebec, and Montreal, to Icelandic-esque places like Newfoundland. Heading out West, however, is when things get truly stunning; British Columbia is a huge province that has a beautiful city in the form of Vancouver in the south, borders Alaska to the west, the Yukon to the north, and Washington State to the south. It’s one of the most diverse landscapes you’ll find anywhere.
British Columbia has been the setting of TV shows like Arrow, Bates Motel, and The X-Files, and of movies like Ace Ventura, Dawn of The Planet of The Apes, The Incredible Hulk, and Highlander. The reason it’s a hot-bed for entertainment productions is because of the incredible forests, various mountain ranges, incredible wildlife and, to be honest, the low taxes imposed upon productions. Regardless, it doesn’t take much imagination to see how Far Cry could fit into a setting with vast forests, treacherous mountains, small towns and huge cities, as well as grizzly bears, moose, mountain goats, whales, bald eagles, and much more. And, of course, it would be fascinating to see Far Cry’s take on the Canadian stereotypes.
