From the creators of Vast Expanses of Nothing and Vast Expanses of Nothing 2 comes a revolutionary sequel Vast Expanses of Nothing 3. Featuring various vast expanses for you to do absolutely nothing in with a story that can only be described as why bother... in breath taking next gen graphics. Play the sequel to the game that no one actually tried to play because they got bored then installed some mods and dicked around in it for five minutes only to realize there's actually really nothing to do at all.

That's a very long way to go just to say you thought the game had nothing to do. I would like to think you're wrong about that since I spent hours just flying around and destroying/capturing things alone, but, you know, good commitment to the prose if nothing else.

As for the actual game being promoted over here: I'm looking forward to it. Surely terribly voiced story, guaranteed ridiculous moments and wingsuits with a side of grappling hooks? If you don't like that, you're anti-fun and it makes me sad for you.

@boodoug187: Totally got a Bond vibe as well.

Is it just me, or does Rico look a whole lot like Jake Gyllenhaal?

I think you're getting your Jake Gyllenhaals and your caricatures of Al Pacino mixed up.

Does anyone even remember The Prodigy anymore? Is that maybe a good thing?

Getting the impression that you don't particularly care for them anyway, but while 'Invaders Must Die' wasn't their best album, 'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned' was stellar, along with all their earlier work.

And if a select few forgot, that is definitely a bad thing.

I was excited to watch this because, hey, it's a Just Cause 3 trailer...

But holy shit I was not expecting THAT. Very pleasantly surprising.

This game really needs co-op, all the dumb shit you can do will be twice as good with someone else.

Rico should have a younger female agent/apprentice who is later revealed to be the dictator you're going after's daughter.

Because that is the kind of terrible I want in a Just Cause story. Female co-op Rico.

Cool, it's that Gear of War teaser! Also, I think a person would have a very hard time keeping their eyes open without goggles traveling at such a speed.

You guys are right to get a Bond opening vibe. The car flying through the air is trying very hard to be reminiscent of early 60s British and European sports cars. It's actually kind of a crazy allusion to make, when realistically how many young guys have even seen the Connery-era Bond movies?

So to start with, the car:

No Caption Provided
No Caption Provided

I'm not much of a car guy, but here are some quick likely references I could dig up:

The most obvious reference, the Aston Martin DB5 was the car in Goldfinger, though the car in the trailer doesn't curve down as much at the front as the DB5.

The headlights and grill are closer to an Aston Martin DB4.

Some similarities to the Cunningham C-3 Continental.

Passing similarities to the Maserati 3500 GT?

But the way the rear end kind of flares out above the rear wheels is unlike most European cars of the era, and the closest thing I could think of was a 1967 Ford Mustang.

It's an interesting hybrid of a bunch of different cars.

Edit: Man, the website really did not want me to put that many pictures in one comment. Turned them into links instead.

It wasn't just the Connery-era Bond movies that had the stylish intros, they all had them.

Man.. Is it just me, or has video-game trailers gotten increasingly better over the last two years? It's becoming less about selling the game, and more about selling a feeling. It's classical advertisement resurrected, I kinda' love it.

I do wonder when this trend started, though. In my head, it was all of those Phantom Pain trailers, at least the faux music-video approach, "Not Your Kind of People, etc."

And if it wasn't obvious from the rest of my comment, this is one hell of a trailer.

I believe it started with that first Dead Island trailer. No. I take that back. It started with Gears of War. The first 1 with that cover of Mad World.

What a fucking trailer that was.

I would say that GOW and Dead Island trailer helped it, but they just set the stage so marketing exec wouldn't immediately shut down any creative ideas for trailers. Believe it or not people who make trailers want to make awesome stuff like this, but its almost impossible to get the higher ups to agree to something more risky than just your typical hollywood trailer / sunday monster truck derby spot (doesn't help that most companies use ad agencies for big trailers and that could be very hit and miss depending on how familiar or good the ad agency is, my experience expect the super big ad agencies the rest suck majorly for video games, just really out of touch).

And when they do, they usually want trailers to use the latest hotest pop song cause "god damn it that's what the kids listen to right?" at one point we had to strongly put our foot down and not use wrecking ball as a song in one of our trailers last year.

In other word this is a dope ass trailers, and props to the people who made it!

Now I have to know what trailer you didn't put that song in.

P.S. your're right. This trailer is so fucking dope.

@wandrecanada: The last Prodigy album was fantastic - I still use Invaders Must Die as my default speaker test song.

I think they've all been good in their way but yeah, I thought the entire Invaders album was outstanding. So excited for March 30th.

...oh and super excited for Holiday 2015.

I remember hearing about thoughts to put microtransactions in this somehow. Anyone know if that held true?

That guy looks nothing like Rico from the other games. The guy is suppose to be known as a Latin pretty boy. This guy looks like a typical gruff action hero. But that detail aside, I hope the game is much better than the excellent Just Cause 2.

You'd think all that wind would dry his eyes out. Grumpy Rico Rodriguez must be super good at staring contests.

The first five minutes of this game should be Rico dying and then being rebuilt as a cyborg made out of nothing but guns.

I thought that Mass Effect 2 couldn't have been cooler, but this would be way fucking better.

How will they one-up themselves from Just Cause 2? Two grappling hooks?

It's Just Cause 3, so naturally it would have to be three grappling hooks.

You know where the third one shoots out from.

Kind of a crappy trailer. I hope they learned lessons from JC2 as I found most of that game to be bad. They know what people want from that series, so let's see if they decide to give it to us.
