I was recently discussing Farcry 2 with some friends and how cool the fire spread system was - And how it essentially was never used again after that title.

Is there a cool feature or mechanic you’ve seen in a game and hope to see more of?

    In case you didn’t know, Zelda Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have a very similar fire spread system.

        When a fire breaks out on grass, it spreads like it would in real life. In FC2 you could watch a small flame spread and become an inferno. It was awesome. Games don’t have anything like that these days.

          It’s not remotely the same type of game, but you should try burning some things down in Don’t Starve.

        Future far cry titles did also have the same fire spreading system, just toned down since they’re not set in very dry places.

          It was toned down in FC2 too, because otherwise the whole map burnt down completely all the time.
