‘Just Cause 3’ Does Launch Trailers the Right Way

The Just Cause games do not eff about. They know what they like, and what they like most of all is when things goddamn freaking explode. If these guys haven't seen and/or caused 25 explosions before breakfast, the day is wasted.

The whole series is a kind of playable Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. You are Rico Rodriguez, badass one-man army sent in to stop a terrorist threat. Bullets fly all over the damn place, whole hordes of bad guys are shredded into bloody heaps of viscera on the sidewalk, there are car chases… you know how this sort of thing goes down.

Like Arnold himself, Just Cause isn't about to change its ways now. The third release hits today, and it's dialling the pyrotechnics up even further than ever. Because when a game's launch trailer doubles as a rap video about explosions, you know said game is pretty darn committed to all things actiontastic.

Take an ogle at the Just Cause 3 Explosion Rap Trailer below. They thought they had us fooled for a second there, with the tranquil footage of a deer taking a dump in a meadow somewhere, then… everything else happens.

Boom, baby. Man do these dudes know their target audience.
