The first one was full of potential, but it reeked of mediocrity. It lacked polish. What I'm hoping for from the second one is a larger city area. The "city" in Just Cause was made up from 10 buildings. I don't like all-jungle maps, A mix of city areas and "wild" ones is what I'm after (think San Andreas). If they don't make a good, large city, hopefully they'll make up for it with the diverse environments. In the first one 99.5% of the map was jungle, and the other 0.5% was the "big" city and those little towns.

The cities don't look to be much better in JC2 from what I've seen. Hopefully I'm proven wrong though. I don't mind the vast jungle, I just wish there was more to 'find' in the first one. There were just little towns dotted around the map without much reason. The developers are promising that "every village, every town has a purpose...nothing is for shoe" but I'm skeptical so far. So much potential in the first game. I hope the second lives up to that potential.

The second one has Snow, Jungle and Desert, so right off the bat it's instantly more varied than it's predecessor.

All the small areas with people (such as villages, military bases etc) seem to have destructible objects and are loaded with enemies, so that should provide some entertainment for a while. That straight away sounds more fun than...

1. Talk to guy
2. Shoot enemies
3. Blow up barricade
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 twice
5. Raise flag/Kill commander.

Destructible environments
I saw videos with buildings being destroyed, but I thought those were just scripted events. It would be cool if you could shoot every tree down like in Crysis, but it probably won't happen (in the next 5 years).

Also, @foohy: Yeah, on the video where you jump off the huge building, you can see there's no "city" area around it, only mountains and jungles. That's why I'm kinda worried about this one. But it looks like the developers like making other parts of the island more, so lets just hope they do that part perfectly.

..BUT the reality based games are my cup of tea....

Yeah me too.

I love the graphics. The envoirnment looks sweet - the water, misty clouds when you go up in the helicopter and explosions.

I thought the grappling thing then using your parachute is a bit OTT but it would probably be lots of fun.

Nice creative ways to kill people too.

There are no spoilers, only "Do X, X times".

'Parachute Climber' seems like it will be fun to get.

Something tells me 'Trying Everything Once' is going to be a pain in the ass though.

EDIT: I hope the difficulty achievements are stackable..

There's now supposed to be a demo on it's way but they never said which platforms for, that's good because games like this needs demos so I can test car physics which is one of the important things for these games in my opinion.

[oysterbarron]

new video seriosuly like the ability to shoot gas can then ride it into the sky!

[AndyGanteks]

the 1:23 reminded me of Mercs 2

But seriously, hope it's a great game, muuuch better then the first and then i will buy it!

[SaintJimmy]

I'm really liking the changes in landscape - vast desert areas, nice beachside areas, bustling metropoloises...very nice

This whole exclusive video capture thing for the PS3 version of Just Cause 2.....does anyone know if this literally just records the footage as it appears during gameplay, or can you also edit the footage and change the camera angles and zoom in and out of the recorded action? Basically like a director mode.

Going from previous games that have included the Feature, it allows you to record 10 minute clips of gameplay and either save it to your PS3s HDD or upload it straight to YouTube straight from teh PS3, which requires you to login to your YouTube account obviously, though it may be completly different. As i said though this is going from what previous titles with the feature have been able to do.

Ok, but on previous games that have done that......were you able to alter the appearance of the video once it was recorded? Like change the camera angles at certain points in the video to give it a much more cinematic look?

The reason I ask is I only have a Xbox 360 and am interested in what can actually be done with this PS3 exclusive feature. If its just basically recording footage from the exact same viewpoints you get when actually playing the game (just like FRAPS does on PC games) then it does not really mean much to me since I have a DVD recorder that can do that.

But if you are able to do extra things with the recorded footage like pan the camera around and stuff so you could show explosions and stuff from different camera angles....that would be something to be jelous about.

Ohhh, no there were not any specific footage editing tools for the recorded footage, it upload/saved raw footage.
