Just Cause was MASSIVE. Probably bigger than GTA:SA, Oblivion, and Morrowind combined.

I really liked JC1. Fantastic looking environments, but the side missions got a bit tedious. Sounds like they're aware of the problems though. One of the few games I got all the achievements for.

To be fair there were a few problems with those vehicle drops, it would complain that you weren't visible on their radar or that the ground was uneven or not clear enough.

The first game is so great. I'm much more hyped for this than for GTA4.

Probably some bullshottin' going on here but then Just Cause was a beautiful looking game....at times.....if Avalanche refines their engine and gives us more to do in the world then JC2 is going to be fucking amazing.

I'd say beautiful 98% of the time, there were some un-everness with some of the close up terrain & some of the character models, but other than that it's still in the top 10 best looking games out out now.

The in-air graphics of Just Cause are maybe the best I've seen on a console. Everything was just so beautiful. The on-ground stuff looked good too, but there were some inconsistancies there.
I'm hoping the that 'stunt' system is given some more depth. Given some polish, using stunts to traverse the island could be really, really fun. They just missed the mark in that regard in the original game.

Redo the vehicle physics thanks.
I was waiting/hoping for this to be announced. Just Cause was boring in terms of combat, exploration and mission structure - the cities were lifeless, the jungle was lifeless, the water looked lifeless/dry like Far Cry - but the audio and sound design when freefalling from 5km was done perfectly.
Extend that to the rest of the game and it shall be one to watch.

I played this game at my friend's place, back when his X360 was still, you know, alive.
I absolutely loved the skydiving and the free roaming, but it appeared to me that the gameplay itself would get boring after a few days. Let's hope they fix that, because the first part had a lot of potential. Skydiving never felt so awesome.

Back when the first game was about to release they said that the sequel would have coop. I guess they ditched that idea pretty fast
Great! The ones that aren't as bullshotty as others definitely look great, better than Mercs 2 if you ask me. I enjoyed about half of the first game and then just got sick of the repetetive "liberate the village!" missions. Hopefully they give this game the added kick it needs, because the environments were unbelievable.

I recently visited Avalanche (it's just down the road from my flat) to do so interviews and check the game out. Funny story is that already on my first visit there when they showed Just Cause prior to its announcement the founder Christofer was talking about Just Cause 2, of course that was prior to the first game's delays so he imagined it would still be for last gen consoles. Oh well things change.
It was early code, but it looks interesting. Now the grappling hook can attach to basically anything so Rico is swinging away almost like Spider-Man combining the grappling with the parachute. Makes for very fast travelling and allows you to catch up with vehicles and the gameplay to be more vertical. The structure for side missions is completely redone as well, eventough the principal of destabilizing areas remain.
Anyway I interviewed the producer Daniel Willför so you can check it out if you want:

Flying a Helicopter to it's limits than ejecting a free falling for a minute or two at night was the best thing ever. I've never experienced that in any other game. The skydiving was the craziest shit ever and still is.

I do not comprehend 3 legged mutt's flea.
I almost bought the 360 version of the first game but the commentary here hasn't been all that favorable and the demo while interesting had me thinking the game was a little shallow.
If they fixed the shallow gameplay (and from the video above it sounds like they took a lot of criticism in mind) in the new game I'll buy.
I'm a sucker for sandbox games.

Cool, never seen those before. I think the skies look great in that game. I've only been on a plane a few times in my life; but, as far as flying through the clouds and being able to look far off into the distance of clearer skies, they seemed to have done a good job of capturing that. It really makes you "feel" something just to look at it. Therefore, I'll give this game my attention leading up to it's release.
@pr0cs :lol It's okay, I was improvising as I typed. I was speaking of a single parasite feeding off the back of a three-legged mutt (mixed breed, mangy dog).

What those pics don't show is the amazing dynamic weather changes and incredible day/night cycle. It's really beautiful.
Just Cause may have its share of problems but damn if there isn't a ton of possiblities with that engine of theirs.
