Watch the first hour of gameplay from Just Cause 3

For those eagerly awaiting the Just Cause 3’s launch on 1 December, comes a new lengthy video from Square Enix and Avalanche Studios, depicting the first hour of gameplay for those who can’t handle the few days wait.

The clip starts by showing various locations around Medici and some of the key characters, including protagonist Rico and his friend Mario, while “Firestarter” by Torre Florim plays in the background. It also gives us glimpses of the different allies one can encounter in the game, and the oppressive nature of the General’s regime.

The player assumes control the main character with the latter standing on top of a plane wielding an RPG to protect the aircraft while surface to air missiles are targeting the plane (yes it looks as insanely fun as it sounds/reads). He then parachutes down, using his grappling hook to quickly reach Mario, whom he assists against hostile forces with a hail of gunfire. Watch the video to see what happens next.
