There doesn't appear to be a thread for this game which is just criminal. How could you, PA? I thought you were cool. So I fixed it, I dun fix it good.
Guess Who's Back...
Rico is back. Now on the island of Panau, hot on the heels of his former friend and mentor, Tom Sheldon. There he must once again topple the corrupt government with the aid of the islands many factions. Or.... he could just go it alone...... Wait, no, he has to go it alone since there's no multiplayer at all for this sequel too. It's a shame but hey, some of my best pleasures occur when I'm alone.
Will you help him on the 360, PS3 or PC? (See, that was a really clever way of telling you what platforms its releasing on).
Whats New Pussycat...
More vehicles, weapons and, possibly, gadgets. Rico is back and he's had that stick surgically removed from his anus. On top of being able to walk like a normal human, he can now also whip out his grapple-hook anytime. (Not that kind of grapple-hook). It's always accessible as its been modified to a wrist mounted bracelet of some kind. No more having to switch weapons to enable it, yay! Talking of weapons, laser-guided rocket launchers (shown in screenshots), C4 triggered explosives (can be used in flight) and a bunch of other secret stuff they're not yet telling us about have been mentioned. (well, not the secret stuff obviously). The weapons would be useless without a decent control system, oh but wait! They've revamped it to allow you to lock-on to targets and then manually target specific parts of the body, ala Crackdown.
But it won't be easy. No siree. the enemy now has a completely overhauled attitude. It's all badass and shit. They'll hide behind cover, attack in groups and call in parachute units to attack you. On top of that, each soldier has the ability to steal a vehicle thats most fitting to his situation and track you down accordingly. Best thing about it has got to be the guard feature. If a soldier is programmed to stand guard at a post, he'll chase you to a certain distance before deciding whether its best to keep at you or to go back to his post. Oh, and remember I mentioned the grappling hook? Yeah, you can use it to attach to objects.... including enemies. Stood up top a guard tower and shooting at you? Drag him the fuck down. Or why not take him for a ride whilst parachuting? You could 'hang' out for a while. *groans*
More! More! More!
The first preview and indeed sign of Just Cause 2 came from PSW magazine and CVG talked it through here.
A Q&A, courtesy of ign, is here for those interested in the first-hand explanation of everything.
SCREENS! (Check the fire on that one shot, Suh-weet.)
The CVG screens are actually quite old, ign ones are linked and new.
So, whens it out I hear you ask. Its listed as TBA US and March 2008 Europe but theres as much chance of that happening as Britney Spears winning the best mother award.

Also, I demand the thread name is changed to "Just 'Cuz 2"
Couldn't the title be "Just Cause: Just 'Cuz"?
Oh well.
I really enjoyed the first one and you are right it had potential. I am hopeful that the sequel realizes its potential.
I don't know about the rest of you, but for almost every mission I could I stole a attack helicopter and used it.
Having to follow, then gun down a Cartel Boss was never easier at 500' in the air!
this shit looks awesome
Also, title is being changed. How'd I do for a first timers OP?
I didn't play the first one.
Any pending release dates?
Also...
DAMN YOU IGN, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN YOOOOUUU!
I didn't get in to any of the missions in the first one but I did just like driving about, messing around.

First one was dumb fun. Perhaps this could be dumber...funner?
I weep for the PC owners, though - any ideas on the hardware requirements?
So yeah, I'm looking forward to this. The engine is fantastic. Maybe they'll build a game around it this time.

"Push (Y) to disengage from parachute, drop 25 feet onto rear bumper of enemy Humvee without getting hurt and then snap into place, and shoot driver in face."
Ya, we're not dumb, go disappoint yourself.
This one is.
These two most definitely are not.

Very true. The demo was extremely fun, getting the helicopter, flying super high, then bailing out.
The full game...it didn't stay very fun.
I doubt it. The only one im not sure about is the one where hes diving off the waterfall... but other than that, a lot of them have a lot of obvious flaws, that i mean, if you were going to touch up pictures, wouldnt you make them look, you know, better? As is, i see nothing that isnt possible on a current gen console.

What part of that was not awesome?

March?:!:
I thought this was a fall game for sure.
also, the ign shots are most definitely not bullshots. CVG ones..... well, only one of the looks like its been touched up.
This new one looks sexay, will be keeping an eye on it.
Crackdown-style co-op would be nice.
Oh horseshit. There's not a legit shot in the bunch. In the two you said are legit, I've never seen textures that clear at distances like those mountains on any 360 game.
You're in an acute state of denial.
