Just Cause 3 Gameplay Trailer Showed Off 10 New Features

Yesterday brought the first gameplay trailer for Just Cause 3. It was a lot to take in, with developer Avalanche Studios shoving as much one second action clips into a video as they could. At some point, they must have realised there was a limit to how much the average human could take in over the span of a minute, so they put up a list of the ten new features the trailer was showing off. Some of these sound a little like marketing spin, but others sound absolutely smashing.

The Wingsuit

Intended to complement Rico’s grapple and parachute, the wingsuit looks like a hang glider you can wear. It’ll have Rico swooping through the air at high speed, and when paired with the grapple he’ll be able to slingshot through tunnels, under bridges, and other cool stuff.

Multi-Tether

Speaking of Rico’s grapple, it’s apparently had some upgrades. It can now tether up to 5 things, which Avalanche Studios says will take “the creative destruction that made Just Cause 2 such a success to a whole new level.” There’s obviously near limitless possibilities here, but Avalanche suggest things like hanging buses from helicopters and creating car catapults. Fun.

Massive Explosi0ns

It’s not clear how explosions are supposed to be new to a series like this, but Avalanche Studios is insisting they’ll be on a whole new level in Just Cause 3. They’ve packed the world with all kinds of things that go boom, which creates the potential for chain explosions.

Cascading Destruction

There’s not much to say about this one. Just Cause 3 apparently features a new “physics-based destruction system,” which just means that every explosion is unique.

The “Reeled Hang”

This is another upgrade to the grapple. When Rico latches onto the underside of an object, he’ll hang upside down. This will free up his arms to shoot and throw whatever he wants at whatever he wants.

Destructible Vegetation

Ever looked at a corn field and thought it needed to be taught a lesson? In Just Cause 3, you’ll be able to show all kinds of plants what you think of them. You can blow up trees, flatten flowers, and run over those pesky cornfields with your car.

Monorail Trains

Just Cause 3 adds monorail trains as a brand new vehicle to the series. Like any other mode of transportation in Just Cause, Avalanche Studios promises monorails are ripe with opportunities for destruction.

Serious Miniguns

Why these are called “miniguns” is beyond me. Avalanche Studios calls the one featured in the trailer a “bullet-spraying behemoth.” It’ll carve right through anything that stands in its way. So don’t stand in its way.

Bridge Destruction

Bringing the Just Cause series one step closer to its dream of destroying everything, Rico can now bring down bridges. There’s any number of ways to destroy a bridge, but the trailer suggests flying a helicopter into one and seeing what happens.

Stunting

Just Cause 3 brings the ability to walk on top of moving vehicles. Rico can now strut his stuff across the wings of a plane, surf on the roof of a car, or skip across the top of a monorail. Avalanche Studios says this will lead to “crazier stunts than ever before.”

Rhiannon likes video games and she likes writing, so she decided to combine them. As well as writing about video games, she also belts out the occasional science fiction or fantasy story, edits videos, and eats strawberry oreos. In that order.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
