News PS4 Pro Boost Mode Makes Just Cause 3's Frame Rate Slightly Less Shite
But it's still far from perfect
Just Cause 3, for all of its fun, free-form chaos, runs like garbage on a standard PlayStation 4. Even with no action on screen, the game still loves to drop frames, resulting in an especially shoddy experience. Given its particularly poor performance, many have been wondering whether the PS4 Pro's Boost Mode can help...

News Just Cause 3 Is Borderline Broken on PS4 Right Now
FYI
We'd heard anecdotally that Just Cause 3's latest patch made its framerate that little bit worse, but nothing could have prepared us for footage of the foray in action. This clip – captured directly from a PlayStation 4 using the share button – shows just how dire the destructive adventure is these days, as the title practically...

News Just Cause 3's Second DLC Will Mech a Mess on PS4
Rico machina
Just Cause 3 [Remember that game? – Ed] is getting mech DLC for reasons that can probably be surmised as: a bunch of Swedish people thought that it was a cool idea. Part of the obnoxiously named Air, Land, and Sea season pass, subscribers will get access from 3rd June, while peasants will have to wait until 10th June to cough up their...

News You've Just Got to See Just Cause 3's Crazy Japanese Ad
Learn to fly
Just Cause 3 got some pretty standard trailers and adverts here in the West, but once again, the Land of the Rising Sun has sprinkled its own trademark madness onto the game's Japanese marketing campaign. This has resulted in a 60 second ad in which a woman glides around a city to meet up with her friends - and it's honestly much better...

News It Sounds Like You'll Need Just Cause 3's Day One Patch on PS4
Thankfully it's not huge
Just Cause 3 is out there in the hands of the public right now, five days before its official launch date. This is due to some retailers breaking the rules, which in itself is a bit crap, but at the same time, it means that details on the game's day one patch have been outed. VG24/7 have gone ahead and posted the update...

News Just Cause 3 Is the One Game That Doesn't Really Need a CG Trailer
You can do all this in the game anyway
Strikes us as a bit weird, this: Just Cause 3 has a new trailer, and most of it is CG. Now, we're not totally against CG trailers - they can be downright stunning when done right - but let's face it: Just Cause 3 certainly isn't the type of game that needs one. Rico Rodriguez's latest adventure is already...

News Just Cause 3's Story Trailer Is Just More Explosions, Really
Wait, what story?
Just Cause 3's story trailer is here, and guess what? It's full of explosions. We'd expect no less from the bombastic open world title, of course, but by splicing in a few standard looking cutscenes, Square Enix is trying to convince us that there's a narrative worth caring about here. Spoilers: there won't be. But there's nothing...

TGS 2015 Just Cause 3 Looks Explosively Bonkers in This PS4 Trailer
Off the chain
Just Cause 3 received a suitably insane, and mercifully brief, trailer at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show conference today. The clip sees series protagonist Rico Rodriguez performing all manner of perilous and irresponsible acts - such as back-flipping off a car which is conveniently falling into a chasm. In truth, there's not a whole lot...

Oh Rico, when will your lust for fiery explosions ever be satisfied? We're not sure if that question has an answer, but Just Cause 3's protagonist doesn't seem to be giving up on a life of chaos any time soon.

Grappling hooks and explosions: the video game
Just Cause 2 was good, stupid fun. It's only fitting, then, that Just Cause 3 should take that same absurdity to a new level. This is looking to be a big release for Square Enix – it was the first game the publisher showed off, and representatives seemed keen to stress that they're standing firmly...

News Just Cause 3's First Trailer Is Far More Serious Than It Needs to Be
Burnin' for you
We're not entirely sure how we feel about moody cinematic trailers. On the one hand, they can work well, providing a sense of atmosphere, while on the other, they can end up seeming far too serious for the actual source material. And let's face it: Just Cause has never been a serious franchise. Cardboard characters and terrible...

Sandbox experience comes first
Just Cause 2 may have gotten multiplayer courtesy of a community mod extremely late in its life, but the game’s upcoming PlayStation 4 sequel won’t boast any competitive or co-operative play at launch.
