Just Cause 3 is “more of a sandbox” than almost any other game

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

The Just Cause franchise, particularly Just Cause 2, is often celebrated for being so perfectly sandbox in design. Anything goes, and the game is built with the true intention of letting players explore, try to bend the mechanics and, generally speaking, have fun.

In an interview with GamesRadar+Just Cause 3 Game Director Roland Lesterlin talks a bit about their new sandbox system and how promising it is. “We’re a systems-driven game,” he explains at one point. “This is a sandbox, more of a sandbox than almost anything else out there.”

GamesRadar+ apparently also spent time going hands on with the game. You can read the full feature by hitting the source link below, and it offers a bunch of points regarding how this new sandbox works. For instance players will have access to three tethers at once (though that may change as Avalanche is looking at going up to five tethers), and that means tying all sorts of things together, dragging them about and instantly retracting them at the touch of a button.

Cars, too, have been completely overhauled. Avalanche snapped up an ex-Criterion Games dev in order to do some of that work, and the result is cars that are actually, brace yourselves, fun to drive. Cars will be faster than the wingsuit, so you’ll want to use them. How’s that for a change of pace?

Be sure to check out the full feature for more. We’ll have more on Just Cause 3 as it comes. The game is set to release this year for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC platforms.

Mad Max meets Mario Kart is just bloody brilliant

How is this for a clever mash-up?  sundbergkr ‘s Mario Kart: Fury Road parody trailer mashes up the worlds of Mad Max and Mario Kart to epic results in this wonderful parody of the film’s trailer. What’s really special about this mash-up is that it isn’t entirely overdone. The Mario references are brief, subtle, and appear just long enough for you to appreciate them before waiting eagerly for the next one. Without a doubt the giant Chomp is the most laugh out loud moment, but the creators also slip in some perfectly timed and inappropriate voice clips during the violent action. I still haven’t seen Mad Max: Fury Road , due it not coming out in Japan until June 20, but I had purposely avoided the trailers to not get any spoilers. Now, thanks to Mario, June 20 can’t come fast enough! Source : Via : Destructoid from TechnoBuffalo http://ift.tt/1AvRv58

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly ...

Star Wars: Battlefront will not have classes

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo When it comes time to pick your gear and weaponry in DICE’s upcoming relaunch of  Star Wars: Battlefront , you won’t be sifting through classes or class-specific stuff. That’s because the new  Battlefront has no class. I don’t mean that in a belch during dinner at a fancy restaurant kind of way, either. I mean you won’t be picking stuff like Engineer, Assault or Support before you roll onto the battlefield. In an interview with OXM , as summed up by the magazine’s sister site  Games Radar , Design Director Niklas Fegraeus indicated that classes are out. You’ll be able to pick and choose between unlocked weapons and gear freely and build to your own style. Furthermore, Fegraeus also indicated that  Battlefront will not feature the five-person squad feature that  Battlefield  offers. Instead, players will run as partners, a group of two system that lets players stick together, appear on one another’s HUDs and spawn besi...
