    Just Cause 2

    Searched and didn't find a thread for this.

    Just Cause 2 is a sandbox style action video game currently under development by Swedish developer Avalanche Studios and Eidos Interactive[4] and published by Square Enix. It is currently set for a release in March 2010. It is the sequel to the 2006 video game Just Cause.[5][6]

    A demo for Just Cause 2 is coming to the PlayStation Network, Steam, and Xbox Live next week, giving players 35 square miles of the Lautan Lama Desert, packed with plenty of things to do, see, and blow-up.

    Just Cause 2 isn't due out in North America until March 23, but Avalanche Studios and Square Enix are so eager to get the game into your hands that they're giving you a literal sandbox to play in on March 4.

    Featuring a 35 square mile segment of the game's 200 square mile islands, the demo gives players free reign to do whatever they'd like to do however they'd like to do it. The area is littered with towns, military installations, mountains, and missions, with numerous vehicles and weapons at your disposal and one of the game's 50 colonels waiting for you to take him down. It even houses one full, multi-stage mission that begins with the infiltration of a base and ends with a car chase through the desert.

    It sounds like it could be the most fun you've had playing a demo in ages. I'm looking forward to spending countless hours seeing how far I can fall before opening my chute.

    Bleh, needs Vista, and it appears the demo is only via Steam for PC?

    Darn, was hoping it'd be stand-alone so someone could release a crack for the time limit without me risking my Steam account. Oh well, at least I can't run it to begin with. Not that interested in the PS3 version.

    If this game just has cheap thrills then the demo should cover it. We shall see.

    shit was awesome. I think it plays better (controll wise) with a mouse/keyboard.

    On my ps3 i had trouble tryin to multi-task hook/gun/moving all at one time. But when i downloaded the pc demo. Shit was cake and soo much fun.

    Beating a guy outa the helicopter and crash landing it into the buildings. lololololol

    i liked the controls in the ps3 demo better than the full game. controls now are a lot looser, much harder to target, you'll find yourself flailing around the cursor while trying to hit a mob.

    Picked this up today, been having fun with it, although the horribly atrocious voice-acting changes the games mood from serious to a comedy for me. ;/

    Anyways, wish the game wasn't so touchy on the analog. My left stick is well worked in and could use a new spring in it as the game likes to make my dude start walking forward since the dead-zone in this game is so tight, to the point where my worn-in stick's neutral position can accidently fall pass, which typically means the menu likes to shoot the cursor up the screen.

    Control-wise, I'm trying to figure out how the grapple works while parachuting, as when I try to grapple something to gain more momentum, I either lose my chute in the process and reel right in to the point, or he starts free-falling.([EDIT] Nvm, figured it out, have to tap the grapple button, not hold it) Have to say it's one of the few games where I really wish the devs put in mouse/keyboard support (for the PS3 release) as you really need the precision aiming while floating about.

    Is there a way to stay tethered to a vehicle while you're chuting about, rather than reeling in onto its roof?


    I have to say I love the built-in video capture functionality on the PS3 copy of the game. All I wish it had was a higher-resolution option though as the end-result looks SD with lots of compression artifacts, like old-school YouTube. Makes me wish other games of this caliber would incorporate the feature though, as I typically only find it in more simple games that you can grab off PSN, rather than a full-blown game with modern visuals.

    [EDIT] Looks like this game still has some bugs. Loaded up my auto-save which was at the start of a get-away mission, and there's not been a single vehicle nor NPC chasing me the entire route.

    [EDIT #2] Two hours later, and I'm still having a hoot. I figured the parachuting novelty would have worn off, but it's such an effective means of travelling about and dropping in on enemies that I barely touched the vehicles at all. Spent a good 30min just exploring the area grabbing collectables and resources. I do hope that I eventually unlock something that adds resources to my radar/map, doubt I'll be finding the majority of them given there's a good 1700 of them in the game in the massive world they throw you in.

    This game is giving me flashbacks of Mercenaries 2 in the bugs department though. I just got my dude stuck in the floor of a building. >.>
