Ubisoft started its press conference with a quick look at Far Cry 4's opening minutes. The clip shows a border crossing on a bus gone horribly wrong, along with a look at the game's cover character, a disturbing fellow named Pagan Min.

In the video, the player character is on a bus ride into Kyrat when a seemingly routine border crossing goes south. The guards open fire on the passengers, and their slaughter is only interrupted by a surprise visit from Pagan Min. The character is a big part of Far Cry 4's story, and we have more details on him in our cover story – which goes live after Sony's E3 press conference tonight.

In the meantime, suffice it to say, he's not above jamming a pen into someone's neck if they don't listen to his orders.
