"Just Cause 3" PC, PS4 and Xbox One has new adventures and tools for the game's protagonist, Rico Rodriguez.
Rodriguez's toys are meant to work together seamlessly and enable players to create an ultimate level of destruction. Director Roland Lesterlin commented that they are developing a "systems-driven" game.
"The version of the game we get to play is all about the systems," Games Radar reported. "Rico's been refreshed and re-tooled, [with] his unlimited-use parachute and grappling hook returning with modifications."
Avalanche Studios has also been able to capture the feel of the movement. The parachute has far more stability than before. It has become ideal for finer movements as well as aerial dodges. It can still be used together with the grapple hook for insane aerial stunts.
"In 'JC2,' all other inputs were muted when you were reeling into a point with the grappling hook," Design Principal Francesco Antolini explained.
"In 'JC3,' not only can you shoot while grappling, you can grapple on to an enemy, reel in for a dive kick and shoot while you're doing so, before moving the camera and launching another grapple off."
Antolini also revealed that there is a possibility for Rico to stay in the air indefinitely. Players can easily transition from the parachute or wingsuit or even use the grapple to zip wherever. Towers abound the map so that players can be accommodated. Cars have also been overhauled in "Just Cause 3" PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
"Because we're an open world and cars are faster than a wingsuit," Lesterlin said. "The game is about creativity. The car is another tool for you to mess around with - you can put a bunch of C-4 on a car and jump it into a base. That could be the beginning of your epic base attack. There's full deformation; hinged parts so cars break and parts move. The feel of it has a full racing engine underneath. We do shocks, downforce and things that you'd find in a full racing game."
