The first hour of Just Cause 3 is predictably wild

See it now, or just wait a week

It’s common for media to share the “first __ minutes!” of a new game release, but I don’t recall too many big-name developers partaking in that practice. Avalanche has put up the first hour of Just Cause 3.

If you are concerned that this game starts slow, you needn’t be. The first interactive sequence is Rico literally standing on top of a plane while firing rockets (beautiful, infinite rockets!) down on the streets below, infrastructure be damned. No innocents were harmed, I’m sure.

Having skipped around to various points in the video just now, yep, this looks like the typical Just Cause experience, only prettier (and with the line “What a load of horse apples!”).

Just as I had hoped.
