Check out more of Just Cause 3’s high-flying action in these new, leaked screenshots

A new batch of screenshots from Just Cause 3 has popped up, despite no official release from Square Enix or Avalanche, compiled here on NeoGAF.

In line with what we’ve seen thus far from the open world adventure/physics sandbox, the action looks magnificently over-the-top — in only one of the ten new images does protagonist Rico Rodriguez have his feet planted firmly on the ground. In the remaining nine, Rico is standing on top of trucks or jets, gliding around in a wingsuit, or trailing behind airborne vehicles with his grappling hook.

This long-anticipated sequel to Just Cause 2 is set on a fictional Mediterranean island which you must wrest from a brutal dictator. The landmass is supposedly about the same size as that of the previous game, but there’s more detail, allowing players to explore deep caves and climb tall buildings with greater freedom than ever before.

The fan favorite grappling hook is back with a new and improved physics engine, and it is joined by a new wingsuit for even more high-flying shenanigans. If you’ve ever wanted to tie a fighter jet to a helicopter mid-air and then leap and glide away to safety when they explode, this is the game for you.

Just Cause 3 is set to arrive later in 2015 for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One.

A Meta render gives you an idea of what you'll experience in VR with a Quest 3S.

Like many humiliated tech writers, I have been guilty of writing those seven little words that can haunt you for the rest of your career: “This was the year VR took off.”

Yes, a lot of us wide-eyed armchair analysts have fallen victim to this optimism trap over VR’s long lifespan. Half-Life: Alyx finally brings a complete gaming experience to a headset? VR has taken off. PlayStation introduces its own plug-and-play device? We’re off to the races. Meta invests heavily in games and releases a wireless device that makes them easy to play? It’s all happening! Of course, all of those lofty predictions tend to look like deflated balloons six months later.

Revenge of the Savage Planet spins Google Stadia trauma into comedy gold
Two astronauts frolic as bugs fly overhead in Revenge of the Savage Planet.

The gaming news cycle is so hectic these days that it’s easy to completely forget about a ridiculous industry saga. I was reminded of that while demoing Revenge of the Savage Planet, the latest game from Racoon Logic. When I sat down to try a demo of it ahead of The Game Awards last week, I was greeted by a satirical introduction as a corporate orientation video cheerfully explained that I was an employee on a dangerous mission. As it played, the developer showing me the demo made a crack about Google. I didn’t really understand why, so I laughed and moved on.

It wasn’t until a few minutes later that a long-forgotten thought came back to me. In 2019, Google acquired Typhoon Studios. They were folded into what was supposed to be Google’s first-party game studio, Stadia Games and Entertainment. Two years later, the entire project was shut down and Typhoon Games was spat back out. It formed Racoon Logic later that year, putting the team back to where it started as an indie team.
