Just Cause 3

I enjoyed JC2 for a while but it got very repetitive. The game mechanics were excellent though, if they could structure a story around it I think it could be a great game.

FYI Just cause 2 on sale on steam today for €2.99

I never finished 2. But Christ did I love the game.

Spent two whole hours trying to jump out of a helicopter and fall back inside it

I found the second game a massive chore, it was essentially the same group of missions and objectives copy pasted over the different sections of the world 4 or 5 times. The core gameplay was great but I couldn't see passed it's lazy repetitiveness.

I'd be open to a new game if they were to mix it up more.

Can't find the link now but there were some leaked screens of JC3 leaked last week that showed microtransactions for things like renting vehicles for a few days with both in game and real world money , could be early development stuff and not final game stuff .......... I hope. I believe they were very early screens though these days a stunt like that would be far from surprising.

Dont agree, that might have been true for JC1 but the story related missions in JC2 were absolutely spectacular, really well designed, assaulting mountain fortresses, chasing down rockets in a MiG, too much other stuff to mention. One of my favourite games of all time, cant wait for 3.

Looks like the wingsuit is getting popular. Good.

Hmmm, exact same dictator statues, church towers, oil refineries, vehicles, aircraft, terrain, weapons etc etc. Hope they have a lot of good missions ready to go because that looks like a HD texture pack not a sequel, I played the **** out of 2 though so Ill probably still get it, the plot missions were some of the most fun you can have in a game...

They should really focus on the detail in the mayhem. Being able to specifically pull off a vehicle's door with the hookshot, shoot from hanging onto any part of veichle/terrain, multiple hookshot lines (that can possibly even be used as traps for oncoming cars) and things like that is what allows people to create their own unique setups and is what makes the series fun so I really hope there is massive potential for that.

Ten features from the trailer
1. The Wingsuit

The Wingsuit will allow Rico to swoop across Medici at breakneck speeds, using the grapple hook to slingshot through caves and tunnels, as well as under bridges and down mountainsides.

2. Multi-tether

The grapple hook has taken a big leap forwards since the last game, with one of the biggest features being the ability to tether up to 5 things together. There are so many opportunities for creative destruction whether it be creating car catapults or hanging a bus from a helicopter and using it as wrecking ball.

3. MASSIVE Explosions

Medici is a world that is packed with petrol stations, electrical substations and huge fuel tanks that are just asking to go “boom”, every explosion has the potential to trigger another which will create an epic chain of fiery destruction.

4. Cascading Destruction

JC3 has a new physics-based destruction system which means that everything breaks, crumbles and falls apart in real-time, according to your actions – nothing is pre-canned.

5. The “Reeled Hang”

Another new grapple technique which will allow Rico to adopt this unique position when hooking onto the underside of anything in the world, allowing him to unleash chaos from above, even when upside down.

6. Destructible Vegetation

Not even the plants and trees can avoid Rico’s wrath. Blowing trees to bits with rockets, smashing through fences and vineyards in buses…even the downforce of low flying helicopter rotors will flatten beautiful fields of lavender or sunflowers.

7. Monorail trains

Monorails are a completely new addition to the Just Cause vehicle mix, bringing with it a wealth of creative opportunities for those who like to take a walk on the wild side.

8. Serious Miniguns

There’s nothing “mini” about this bullet-spraying behemoth. When wielding this, Rico can carve through just about anything in his path, like a hot knife through butter.

9. Bridge Destruction

Shoot out the struts from below, or lay your unlimited C4 on the asphalt to blast huge holes through the road and send your pursuers crashing down to earth in your wake.

10. Stunting

Rico can now walk freely across the top of all the vehicles found in Medici, from the wings of planes, the tops of monorail trains to the bonnets and boots of automobiles. This allows him even more freedom, running and grappling from one rooftop to another and performing crazier stunts than ever before.

Hmmm, looking forward to it but did they have to have you blowing up the exact same petrol stations/fuel tanks/refineries/dictator statues etc etc as the other 2? Could be getting a bit repetitive the third time round...
