This could be great fun, indeed, but I’m not expecting it to be. Then again, maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Huh. Looks like what we hoped the Mercenaries 2 grappling hook would be like.

I wonder if we can use it to scale buildings… and swing between them, of course.

I loved Just Cause, it was wonderful to look at, and a big open sandbox of a game. Scouting around for base jumping locations, racing about in cars and all the other over the top fun was more interesting to me than most of the missions.

I hated Just Cause 1. The concept leaves room for a glorious game, somewhere between Gothic 2, Tropico and GTA. The execution was a mediocre GTA clone. Soooo…no thanks.

I assume there was a Just Cause 1?

EDIT: Just watched a trailer for the first one, looks just as over-the-top as this one.

This games needs more brighter/over saturated colors.
The present ones don’t hurt my eyes enough…

I played the demo of the first one. Didn’t like the controls, got lost and never touched it again. May have to revise that decision.
Also, this engine is on display in TheHunter, the best going-for-a-walk-in-the-woods sim I’ve come across.

I’d sure be embarrassed if I were the Bionic Commando guys…This just beat them at their own game x10!!!!

I can’t think of a game I more wanted to like but just couldn’t besides Just Cause. I’m rooting for them to get 2 Just Right, and accomplish whatever the heck they were trying to do with the first game. I really tried to love it, I swear.

Loved the original. Still the only game I ever 100%-ed (360). It was just that compelling to fly/drive/freefall over this ridiculously huge amount of terrain.

Even if the combat and story were all over the place. Hopefully if they can fix the combat a little bit and leave everything else alone … I’ll probably buy 2 copies just like the first one.

Hm. It does rather look inspired by Bionic Commando.

Hope this turns out as good as it looks.
