WATCH: First 5 Minutes Of 'Far Cry 4' And Special E3 2014 Gameplay Footage [VIDEOS]

Far Cry 4 has a lot to live up to, and the fact that the franchise ditched the tropical setting this time around for the Himalayas has us all hoping for the best. Now with the release of announce trailers and gameplay footage from E3 2014, we can rest assured that Far Cry 3 might just become the best of the series.

"In Far Cry 4 the face of the devil never looked so pretty. Meet the merciless King Pagan Min, the self-imposed dictator of Kyrat," a statement attached to the first five minutes of the video game explained.

We meet our new villain, and boy is he creepy. Though the first five minutes are basically just a cut scene to introduce this character, we learn a lot about the feel of the game and just what kind of a foe we're dealing with.

Like past Far Cry titles, 4 has the blood-thirsty ruler again, but this time Min was actually based off of a real person. There is an historical figure by the same name that hopefully wasn't as crazy in real life!
