Avalanche showcases Just Cause 4’s APEX engine in their latest trailer
Avalanche’s latest APEX engine promises to deliver better graphics and smoother gameplay than ever before, promising insane weather systems, a larger more detailed game world and higher-fidelity destruction, longer draw distances and more. So far, the APEX engine has been confirmed to power both Just Cause 4 and RAGE 2, with RAGE 2 being co-developed by id software.
One of the key promises of Avalanche’s new engine is that it will deliver a much smoother experience than Just Cause 3, which could experience massive framerate drops on PS4, Xbox One and to a lesser extent, PC. In the “APEX POWER” trailer below a developer states that ‘The entire experience (of Just Cause 4) will be much smoother than before’.
Just Cause 4 is currently set to release on December 4th on PC, Xbox One and PS4, though at this time very little gameplay for the title has been released.
Just Cause 3 proved to be quite a performance hog on both PCs and consoles, particularly in areas with lots of explosions, environmental destruction and other compute-intensive effects. With this in mind, we hope that Avalanche’s latest tweaks to their APEX Engine can allow Just Cause 3 to run better than its predecessor, even with its improved visual feature set.
