10 Minute Gameplay Video!

[RavenSierra]

Check it out here. (http://www.giantbomb.com/just-cause-2-walkthrough-video/17-791/)

Looking way better than I could have hoped for - if only all sequels could be this much better than the previous iterations.

I really enjoyed the first Just Cause, and I can't wait for this now - but I guess I'll have to, because it's a while to 2010 yet...

A few things I noticed:
- It seems like the game keeps track of various statistics at the top of the screen, some of which have progress bars... achievements, anyone?
- Grappling hook is absolutely awesome now, there are so many cool things you can do with it!
- Waterfalls! Yes!
- New method of capturing bases/towns looks far more interesting.
- Gunplay no longer plays itself, we actually have to aim now, haha!
- Looks like Rico's Hammers of Justice have limited ammo now?
- New UI is beautiful, to put it simply.
- Stunt position is even more ridiculously cool.
- The new 'signal strength' thing should make exploring the island more interesting - having collectables marked on the map in the first game made it a bit pointless.

The only concerns I can really think of at this point is that the sound seems unfinished, but that could be because of the way the video's audio was mixed, and the animations, while certainly improved, still seemed a bit awkward. Oh, and the way your bullets come from the side of the screen when using the scope seemed odd as well.

Overall, though, this game looks set to be really, really awesome!

Fantastic, great find, thanks for posting!

[dark_angel_7]

Amazing! Really looking forward to this game, could be a top seller for 2010!

EDIT: Only bad things is kinda average A.I. and some animations need more work. But keep up the good work Eidos & Avalanche!

After viewing this video I don't waiting for this game anymore. I've played (and buyed) Just Cause, and waited for this 2nd episode... Now I'm confused. There is looks like no A.I., our hero is getting like 50 bullets and he's just doesn't ever "feeling" it (and hes just a soldier, not a superhero!)... If you pick up the HP it's just simply disappear (WTF, just like in Doom2), you have unlimited parachute (how can it be, when you have only 1?), you can stand simply on the roof of the car (and shoot exactly :O) however it's going by 30 or 100km/h or turning heavy, doesn't matter. Anyway, I can say positive things for sure, there's many good idea, and the graphics really looks cool (except sky and characters), but I think It's not enough from a game what will be released in 2010. Maybe I have too much expectations, but I think It's just will be an another idiot arcade game, not an epic etalon what I've waited for so long.

Sounds awesome, i always keep a bit of money aside for something like JC2, lets hopeit'll be here soon enough, i really wanna play it :)

[Apocalyptic Fish]

Embedding FTW! :cool:

Good work duly noted :D

[NightRain]

Eidos, you did it again ! :worship: :worship:

This is my first time seeing any video of JC2 and I am amazed at the variety of gameplay in accomplishing missions. I probably won't be able to pull them off as smoothly as the developer had because my timing would stink. I'll probably be inside the blast radius of the C-4 or grenade and die many times. Hehe...

I wonder if there's probably going to be a lot of Achievements and Trophy challenges.
I hope I could at least manage to collect the Bronze trophies ! If not, maybe about 5. :lol:

It feels like an action film or something with the second part of the video where the mission was to rescue Blaine. Jumping from cars to cars, scurrying and hiding while precariously dangling onto the car and shooting enemies.

By the way, the grappling hook reminded me of the first Tenchu Stealth Assassins game where you didn't have restriction on grapple points on village homes. And of course, it reminded me of Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.

In the video, I laughed when one of the enemies was yanked into mid-air, shot and killed.


Generally, this year has so many great games that, who cares about living essentials like food ! In other words, games are the new food ! We'll starve but at least we'll have great games to play. :D

Looks like they addressed my concerns with teh first game. This is looking really good. Looks like what mercs2 should have been but wasn't.

"You can take a Jeep and tie it to a helicopter and use it as a wrecking ball"

Transportation FTW!

Holy moly!

I remember getting a high wanted level in SA, getting to a crane, attracting a cop car under the magnet, then bashing helicopters around with it until they blew up! :D Can't wait to do it again!

[dark_angel_7]

Still amazed by watching this video. :cool:

[Rash385]

The video stunk, but the game looks ok

Did you consider that maybe the devs have tools that give them cheats for walkthrough vids like this so that they won't die in the middle of the video?

[Hobodealer]

One of the best things about the first game, was base jumping. On this video, the base jumping looks phenomenal. Did you see it when he skimmed the waterfall?! :eek:

[Sadistic_Sandbox_Player]

[texkid4]

[HHDnBKing!]

i seen this video ages ago on youtube!

Look at the date this thread was created, over half a year ago but Wade had his pathetic patch in his little life of saying 'I just can't wait for JC2' :confused: For some reason his post has been removed, probably because a load of complete bull**** anyway.

Firstly, speak english properly.

Your the type of person that ruined GTA.

Why would i want to fall off of a car roof, its much more fun to stand on it at high speed like you could in GTA:SA.

Its much more fun to have unlimited ammo, infinite parachutes, unrealistic but awesome grapple, and infinite health or not to die every 10 seconds in a gun fight.

theres a point where "realism" ruins a game. GTA4 is a fantastic example, huge potential but a major flop compared to GTA:SA/vice city/3/london/2 or the original.

I've never played JC before, but i can tell simply by looking at it, that its about the freedom a gamer wants and not be tied down by the physical realities of life. I want to grapple and parachute up to 200feet from a stand still, i want to base jump off of a building and land on top of a speeding car/plane.

I do admit that the AI seems a bit slow, but i think thats missing the point of this game entirely and for the most part, this is the type of game where you "mess around" more than you'd ever actually play the missions.

You just completely owned him! No-one could've done so better so Kudos to YOU! :D
