This looks incredible.

Wasn't it supposed to have F2P stuff this time or am I getting it confused with another game? I really hope I am, I'd prefer a proper JC3 with no F2P rubbish.

I am not expecting the final product to reach this level, but I am sure it will still be quite a looker. As JC2 looked great even on old hardware. At any rate, I just want more of that crazy sandbox goodness.

Far Cry wishes it was as enjoyable as JC2

I admit I haven't played the Just Cause series but Far Cry 3 and 4 are pretty enjoyable. The wingsuit and the environment immediately made me think of Far Cry. So I will be giving this a shot definitely.
 
I spent so much time playing JC2 with the Superman mod. It felt bad ass in the missions to be able to just take off flying dual-wielding rocket launchers and causing destruction. Love PC modding.

That's what you get ;).... You were not confused because they was their plan at some point.

Love the colour and the screenshot with the helicopter explosive is impressive. Can't wait for some footage.
 
I platinum'd JC2 but I hope JC3 has A LOT more variety and be less repetitive than JC2, better driving and flying would be a plus.

These look great (although JC2 looked great already!). Podcast fans should check out the Nov. 2014 Game Informer special podcast (a Q&A with the developers). Search for 'game informer just cause 3 podcast'. TLDR: they're focusing on fun.

To be honest, I'll believe this when I see it. They're saying June 2015, but will any company release AAA that close to summer?

I will be surprised to see it in 2015, especially as Mad Max was meant to drop 'April 2014'.

UNLESS we see gameplay trailers within the next few weeks.

Still, I'm all aboard the hype train for this one.

Wait, they said June ? Where ?

That seems ridiculous to me, I thought it would be like, big E3 showing and then release in maybe september-october ?

They should really try to improve the gunplay. The first 2 felt like you were shooting out lego blocks. What does shooting out lego blocks feel like you ask? i have no clue, just know JC comes really close.

Those are some lonely bullshots. I've always loved how lush Just Cause 2 was and now at least it's continuing with a visual upgrade. My favorite thing is to fly a chopper to max altitude, jump out, and try to catch it again with the grapple to jump inside and save it from crashing as best as possible. Coop that asap

Do they always do this with their games? By that I mean leak pics frequently and be really frank in their communication? I ask as it seems to be a really good and honest way of building hype.
 
That was the farthest thing from a trailer... Waste of time if you ask me to even show this, just show a game play trailer, and stop with the nonsense of these silly "trailers"... Bullshots look pretty good...

4 separate retractable grapple hooks = sold


wingsuit, parachute and landscapes looking crazy good = double sold.


I was, of course, already sold anyway. But still, it's lovely all the same. I can't wait.

What, this is not leaking, pics are from gamersyde : http://www.gamersyde.com/news_just_cause_3_new_screenshots-16264_en.html

But to answer your question,well, they've released so few games and so far apart, difficult to say if they "always do this".

(I mean talking about big AAA games, which is pretty much only Just Cause 1 and 2 up until now, since Mad Max is MIA at the moment, there's also Renegade Ops and their Hunter F2P series but it would be weird to compare the communication plans for those games).

Yeesh, add a few more jaggies and I'd guess this was from the PS3 version. Looks great as a tiny image, but at a larger size the textures are super muddy and the foliage looks really bad. Good thing they've got the better part of a year to go at it.

I'm not sure how much better it's going to look in the end. It seems like they're largely focusing on upping the destruction rather than making it a graphical showpiece. I wouldn't mind if it still looked like this if they pushed destruction forward.

I'm sure I won't mind so much when it's in motion, but geez that shot. I remember Just Cause 2 on PS3 looking better than that. At least the explosions are gorgeous.

Still looks good, but why the fuck couldn't they have posted real pictures instead of the bullshots they did in the beginning?
