Quick Look: EX: Just Cause 3

Really excited for this.

Hey yo.

WOOT WOOT!

! Jeff is backular once more !

Here we go!

BRING IT!

This looks amazing. Also: I really want to Fulton those containers.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how the site handles Quick Look EXs? Do the developers approach Giant Bomb, does Giant Bomb approach developers, or is it a mixture of both?

I get the impression it's a mixture of both, but probably mostly marketing people approach Giant Bomb while they're out doing tours of gaming sites with their game. I've noticed it is frequent that Giant Bomb gets a Quick Look EX right around the time GameSpot gets a big preview story of the same game.

Edit: This is just a guess though. Basing it on how games marketing stuff usually works.

Between this and Fallout 4 I'm going to be very busy!

Bakalar!

I still think they should add shockwaves to the explosions to give them more oomph. Maybe add slight tunnel vision effect when flying really fast as well.

Those are some nice looking explosions

Gun Scorpion.

@roundlay: Mixture of both.

Game looks great + Bakalar

The right stunt position is right next to the explosion.

Hope the framerate holds up on consoles as well, assuming this is the pc-version being shown here.

Well this looks fun.

This is basically accurate. Usually we're approached by the PR team as part of a larger press tour. Avalanche also has dev offices in NYC so this was a pretty quick trip for them.

This looks so fantastic.

Have they actually made any announcement around console framerate? All the pre-release footage is from PC at 60, I dunno if I can go back to 30 with this kind of game since mgsv.

Quick Lookalar

Looks neat, but it also looks like not much has changed since Just Cause 2. Still, for games like this, maybe all it takes is a new environment to run amok in.

Also, is this the first EX where neither the GB crew nor the PR person is actually playing the game? It's probably a good way to keep from losing your train of thought when trying to talk and play at the same time.

Also-also, it's always funny to see debug stuff, like the Player Name being "JC3demo-cs-1950" on the Multiplayer Leaderboards.

There goes another 300 hours of my life. I am so pumped to play this.

Looks good but I’m not quite sure of the validity of a GB Quick Look under a developer controlled play through.

@yarbles: I imagine they'll do a regular QL next month.

Oh man, this looks great. It's like JC2 as if Vinny had creative control on the project.

Don't worry nervous guy you have already sold this game to me!

Those explosions explode real good.

Well those are Steam achievements I see popping up, so yeah.

Looks really fun!

I played a bunch of hours of Just Cause 2 though and aside from fucking around, what you did eventually got really old. This looks to be a step up in mechanics though, enough for it to stay fresh longer, perhaps.

I have high hopes after watching this.

Super excited for dicking about with the grappling hook, not so much the missions?

This is exactly what I wanted in a sequel to Just Cause 2. Its the opposite feeling I have towards Battlefront.

Goddamnit I need this injected into my veins right now

Ha, just before they clapped, I was thinking that Steph gave an excellent demo, it was like watching an action movie with all the explosions and vehicles flipping over and helicopters getting pulled down. And also right before Jeff asked if there's a weight limit to the tether I was thinking that the tether was OP if you can just pull helicopters out of the air so it's good to hear that you have to earn it at least. Awesome quick look!

this looks rad af

Man, I thought I was done buying games for the year. My budget is now officially fucked.

Idk how I feel about the drop anything anywhere at no cost, but I'll get this thing for sure, jc2 is one of my favorite games ever

Loving Alex's orgasms over explosions. They are quite tasty looking.

@onarum Don't be a party pooper

Best Explosions 2015

Motion blur. NO-GO!

this looks like so much fun

@onarum: not sure if it's made clear in the video, but there's a pretty decent cooldown for each item you drop. You can't spam the same vehicle or whatnot over and over. I tried...

But is there a revolutionary army known as da' Reapaaaas?

Who hates the beach!? Bakalar you crazy.

OH FUCK YES

Man this looks cool.
