And I don’t hide that a big part of the inspiration was also to get back some of the elements from Just Cause 2 that made it so interesting. If you’ve seen this demo, you’ve probably realized that actually, Just Cause 4, it’s so much more than Just Cause 3. And this time around, we really want to make it from the start. I think that we managed to actually fix that, because we released quite some important for Just Cause 3, and finally the game was stable. We really did not want to repeat the same mistake that we did with Just Cause 3, which was trying to pack too much with not enough of a solid technical infrastructure. So you’ve seen Rage 2, and these games have been possible thanks to Apex. It was really a decision at that point at a company level.
What lessons or takeaways from that experience have informed the making of Just Cause 4 ?įrancesco Antolini: That we needed a better engine, for example? That’s what we’ve done. Polygon: With Just Cause 3, it felt like the heart of the franchise - these giant open worlds where so much is destructible - was already running up against the available power of this generation of consoles.

Antolini even discusses the impossible: how to make explosive red barrels feel fresh. The director speaks to why Just Cause 3 struggled to find its audience, why weather is the holy grail of open worlds and how catering to streamers can mean encouraging players to be creative. After speaking with Antolini, I think Just Cause 4 has a legitimate shot. But when I sat down with Avalanche Studios game director Francesco Antolini, I couldn’t help but focus on how this entry would take the best bits from previous entries and make them stronger.įew franchises have as strong a template as the Just Cause series, and yet it hasn’t quite had its big moment in the spotlight. And there are more weapons, more vehicles and more gadgets, further cementing Just Cause as the best unlicensed James Bond games. This iteration of the underrated open-world franchise has a brand-new engine, which allows for realistic wind, tornadoes, sandstorms and other extreme weather. Just Cause 4 has a lot of fancy new features that look nice stuffed into an E3 demonstration.
