This game knows it's insane and that it allows you to do some pretty neat stuff. I realize that they know their game is awesome because it comes with a video capture and youtube uploader in it. Why else would they include that if it weren't for showing off?
Now the videos below aren't really showing off. I made them purposefully for you guys to see a little of why this game amazes me. If you watch them I promise I'll shut up about this game.
This is the first one I made. I wanted to show you guys a little bit of the scale of a very small section of the game. This is just one of many sky scrapers around the world and it's not even the biggest one. I also wanted to show how easy it is to go where you want to mid-flight and free fall.
32 seconds in I point to the blimp that's in a later video.
1:18 during free fall I find a random car I'm going to land on.
1:50 this is using the grappling hook as a slingshot to move yourself around with your parachute open.
This one I made to try and give you an idea of how gigantic the game world is. I stole the airliner from the airport in the game. As soon as the video starts I try to pan around so you can see all the islands around the world and just how large it is. The part I'm flying over is covered in snow because of the altitude.
15 seconds there's a random base you can assault to cause chaos and get points.
43 seconds I do a "stunt jump" and from there I could attack others if need be.
1:20 I bail out of the plane and free fall to my favorite spot....the blimp.
2:13 I free fall to the ground. Sorry I spin around in circles. I couldn't decide where I wanted to land. I was debating just smashing into the ground.
This video is the FIRST time I'd ever tried this. You grappling hook your car to an airplane and ride in the car.
58 seconds in I do a stunt jump just because I wanted to and it breaks my attachment to the plane and sends me into a free fall that I can't control. Took me by surprise and made me laugh.
Lastly, this is my favorite. I got attached to the plane on too short a leash and....well....it's pretty funny.
58 seconds I chose to break off from the plane on purpose.
All in all I hope these videos give you a glimpse into the world of Just Cause 2. It's hands down the best sandbox game ever.
Awesome. This game looks like it puts the "open worlds" of GTA and RDR to shame. I've got it waiting in the wings. I'll probably play something a little more linear after I finish L.A. Noire, but I'll be moving into this one soon. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you've got 2 "dislikes" so far. Way to go!
I want to borrow this... please send.
ReplyDeleteAdd this to the list of games I want and can't afford.
ReplyDeleteI watched the videos you made and it convinced me to (at least) consider it. I had never even given the game a glance before.
ReplyDeleteAmazon has this today for $16.99 for both the 360 and PS3. Since I don't know which system to get it for I watched some video comparing the two...and the 360 actually has better lighting.
