Rumor: Just Cause 3 Set for 2012

CVG: Just Cause 3 is in development and scheduled for release next year.

That's according to the latest issue of Xbox World magazine, which states in its latest rumour section: "Our spies say devs Avalanche are hard at work as we speak, and that it's set for release next year."

I love Just Cause 2, I think its one of the most technically advanced games on the 360.
It doesnt get enough praise in my opinion.
Cant wait too see what JC3 will be like.

limewax4572d ago

Agreed and it goes beyond on PC too. Bokeh DoF and SSAO/GPU water simulation really took it that extra mile. For multiplat devs they are fantastic. They make sure to get the very best out of the consoles, and still find the time to add features they know won't be possible on the copies that will sell the most. It doesn't just show they work hard but they continue to take a huge interest in new technologies and apply it if they feel it would be beneficial.

Surprisingly a lot of devs don't do that now and are content to ride out the DX9 feature set for as long as they can

lastdual4572d ago

Yep, Just Cause 2 was a blast.

On the technical side of things, improved physics (imagine JC with euphoria...) and better detail on the close-range environments would be great.

But don't improve the voice acting! "So bad it's good" should be the standard for voice work in this series :)

Pintheshadows4572d ago

Good times. More upside down jet flying action is always a good thing.

Quagmire4571d ago

Upside down Jet-surfing into a cliff-side and then swan diving 200 feet before parachuting onto an unsuspecting military-boat driver and shooting him with a shotgun point-blank.

good times.

chak_4572d ago

loved the second, though it laked in some department.

Life less villages, not much interesting story/side story...

Could need more work, but globally it was immensly fun.

SageHonor4572d ago

True, I also thought there was some unbalance when it came to the environments. The mountains and deserts looked beautiful but the city banked district looked ugly when compared to them. I would like better main story missions and more interaction when it comes to other stuff!

OllieBoy4572d ago

Only thing I want different is a little more customization.

Other than that, the main focus of course should be blowing sh*t up!

TheBlackMask4572d ago

All they need to improve on is the lifeless locations in the map. I hope they can make the map even bigger in the third one but they need to work on other improvments first.

I hated aswell that even with the DLC you got with the limited edition you STILL had to buy it for the shop when you wanted to use it. They need to have a system where once you've unlocked something you can always go back to your safehouse and restock on items.

Oh and having easer egg stuff like unlocking the Batmobile and the Back to the Future delorean would be pretty awesome.

Who decides if a games story is average idefinitely ain't listening to no reviewers. I don't agree with most of then anyway. I think alot of them are to harsh on games so they can get clicks

banger88383d ago

Every Soulslike game ever made.

refocusedman383d ago

zelda has a story line? Actually do any nintendo 1st party games have decent (not even good) storylines?

NotoriousWhiz383d ago

Does Xenoblade count as 1st party? That's the only one I can think of.

NotoriousWhiz383d ago

Also, Ocarina of time definitely had a decent (but not great) story.

Brazz383d ago (Edited 383d ago )

Zelda average story line!? Zelda Story sucks, most time It comes to "save the princess", Nintendo sucks at story outside Fire Emblem and perhaps 1-2 other IPs.

DOMination-382d ago

Actually the Souls games and Zelda games share something in common, which is that they reward gamers for seeking out the story rather than thrusting it in their faces. Not saying this is better or worse, but it's unfair to say they don't have them.

People will be surprised to learn that if you dig a bit deeper into Zelda games, there's a whole lot of really dark and crazy stuff happening.

RaiderNation382d ago

@DOMination

Thrust in your face??? I assume by that you mean basic story-telling 101? Lol.

I platinumed both Niohs but for the life of me, couldn’t tell you what happened in the story lol! I can namedrop Nobunaga, but that’s about it.

ChasterMies383d ago (Edited 383d ago )

The pinnacle of bad story but great gameplay is Destiny and Destiny 2. What is the Traveler? What is the Darkness? What the heck is happening? No one knew. But shooting the aliens and robots felt so good.

Brazz383d ago (Edited 383d ago )

Article os about "average" story. But If you wanna talk about bad story but great gameplay you need to look at Nintendo, they are the masters at making poor shirt story on great gameplay.

HeliosHex383d ago

@deus. If you want more of the story fleshed out in detail I'd recommend the destiny grimoire anthology 1-6 25 bucks each. It's really good I loved the backstory on the guns.

Relientk77383d ago

"I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain."

Is my favorite line from Destiny's "story" lol

GotGame818382d ago

Sorry, but the princess is in another castle.
