Two new developer diary videos for sandbox vehicular action game (comedy?) Just Cause 2 have landed, and they only serve to hammer home just how absurdly entertaining this game looks. The videos feature skydiving, grappling, and man-shooting, but also explain a bit about what all this ludicrousness is intended to achieve, which is to overthrow the dictators of the fictional island of Panau. Good thing dictators need overthrowing, I say. Go watch it look even more awesome, below.

This game is CAKE! Not many will get the refference…

Cake is a reference? or is this game a LIE! :O

More interested in the teams other project Aion Guard, read about it in Edge ages ago, sounded awesome.

Just watch the second trailer, it’s like the first but without the boring bloke.

From the description the game sounded fairly typical and boring, but thankfully the action looks so ridiculous and over the top that it should be a lot of fun.

It’s kinda as if Batman could do parkour!

@M.P.
On the contrary, I was singing the Spider-man theme song in my head while watching all the grappling hook action.

It is painfully obvious that this game should be played with keyboard & mouse, and that the person playing in the video was using a controller.
Man this looks good, though. It also looks like it may rape my computer! D:

SPOILER: The twist is that it’s all a surprise party for the main character.

Attaching two physics objects with a rope when they don’t want to be attached is one of the easiest/funnest things to do in garrys mod. It looks like it fits in nicely with the insane stuff going on here.

Just fantastic. Counting on this being a shoe-in for my personal “Most Improved Sequel” award.
14/11/2009 at 06:59 Baris says:
I’d give my shoe to that.

What game currently gets your “Most Improved Sequel” award?
14/11/2009 at 07:10 Mad Doc MacRae says:
Is that what a modern version of Armed and Dangerous would be if it took itself more seriously?
Or is it Red Faction Guerilla but instead of knocking down buildings you jump on them?
(Both would be cool and I think this game will be enjoyable on its own terms, too)

Woooooooooooooo

YES

Just Cause 2 looks an awful lot like Midwinter 2: Flames of Freedom.
Yes, I’m old.
14/11/2009 at 10:07 TheApologist says:
Sold.
14/11/2009 at 14:22 JKjoker says:
ooooh, screw realism yeah!, im sold as well, looks like mad fun and running cars into gas stations will never get old
i really really hope they dont pull a GTA4/Saint Rows 2/Force unleashed and release a game that only runs in space hardware because is the only way they could keep me away
any idea what the recomended and minimun specs are ? i couldnt find anything in their site
15/11/2009 at 23:56 D says:
No idea but the first was pretty optimized as I remember it. Considering the 50km draw distance. ;D
16/11/2009 at 12:47 Manwe says:
Does it get any more manly than having an uzi powered shootout with a jeep convoy, whilst hanging from a helicopter? Well yes, if this trailers anything to go by.
Only possible downside is dying of adrenaline overload, 30 mins in
Can’t wait for this.

Looks like great fun, the kind of fun I’d want to have in my living room with a few mates and a big telly though…
