Only joking. The first gameplay footage from Just Cause 3 (and developer Avalanche is at great pains to point out that this is all all unscripted and in-game) is one long ode to over-the-top video game carnage, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Using a new, and very fancy, wing-suit, our hero Rico Rodriguez parachutes into the island of Medici, home to ruthless dictator General Di Ravello. Then he proceeds to engage in the kind of death-defying stunts and thrilling pyromania that makes this series so much fun. Okay, so there’s not a lot on show here that hasn’t been seen in previous games in the series, but it all looks so colourful and fun that I can’t get too mad about that.
The only negative (apart from some wearying pre-order nonsense - seriously, can’t we leave all that out of reveal trailers, video game industry?) is that we’ll have to wait until ”Holiday 2015” to get out hands on the game. Though we have got Mad Max to look forward to a couple of months before that. Avalanche are really cornering the market in open world explosions.
