Just Cause offers the freedom to tackle your assignments however you want: Play the island's factions against one another, incite a rebellion among the masses, or build alliances with rebel forces and drug cartels. The action takes place in an incredibly detailed game world which consists of over 250,000 acres of mountains, jungles, beaches, cities, and villages. The island can be explored by land, sea, and air, as you will have at your disposal one of the most varied and exciting array of vehicles ever seen in a video game.
Just Cause 5 could be a turning point for the franchise. Here are five things Avalanche Studios could do to keep Just Cause fresh.
Avalanche Studios' open-world franchise is due to make its next-gen debut, as the franchise is ripe with potential for a comeback.
I dunno man, 4 kinda sucked compared to 3 personally, i do wish they would take on a Mercenaries sequel though
Not sure if the IP still exists anywhere, or who owns it now, but yes, that would be an awesome idea. Pandemic studios did a few good games before they got closed by EA in 2009. The Saboteur is still a go to game of mine. Mercenaries 3: No Limits was one of the cancelled games we all missed out on.
yeah my thoughts as well, loved #3 but #4 was pretty meh just nowhere near as much fun, felt like a grind
I think the game needs a reboot.
Same save the island situation since the first. Each iteration feels mostly a tech upgrade.
They're busy working on Contraband, a new IP. I like Just Cause but they don't need to pump them out one after another. Mad Max showed they're far more than a one trick pony, so just let them do what they want to do.
They have two studios, so i hope the other is working on something cool. Hell i'd be psyched for a mad max sequel honestly.
In an interview with Wassup Conversations, Mikael Säker writer of such games like Battlefield 3,4,1 and The Darkness, talks about a cancelled steampunk open-world game in an alternative history of the 1950s of London. The game was in production at Avalanche Studios, the developer behind Just Cause games but it was cancelled due to economical crisis of the studio at the time. More about the game in the link.
"That was not fun. I think they had to let the half of the studio go, over a night because of the economic collapse. The publisher cancelled all their games except one, and it was a big publisher. But had been working on this awesome open-world game set in an alternative reality version of 1950s. It was insane! We had a huge this huge version of London that looked spectacular. We didn't have skyscrapers, but we had, like inverted heights, so the city grew downwards, to the ground. You could fly ziplines, airships, planes and jump down to these really, really deep holes in the middle of the city. So it was visually, and world-building wise spectacular and It had some really great gameplay ideas." Unfortunately, the game was cancelled because it needed another two years of development during those hard times of Avalanche.
Why do we miss out on such gems?
"steampunk open-world game in an alternative history of the 1950s of London."
That sounds awesome, and of course it's cancelled. *Sigh*
Looks interesting. Microsoft or Sony could help (€€€) with this game's development.
BTW, wouldn't mind a Mad Max sequel from Avalanche.
It sucks when games get canceled especially if they’re bringing something unique to the market.
Yeah they scrapped this and then made just cause 4 and probably 5 which are getting worse and a step back in every new entry that releases.. just cause 4 was an abomination the only good game this company has made in recent times is mad max and just cause 2 was pretty good for the time
Anyone downloaded and played it yet? How is it? Will do it right after office closes! Damn that will be a fine night
Has anyone confirmed that it is already uploaded?
Downloaded it and played it, and the only thing i can say is AWSOME :D
Love the visuals, love the sun going down, love the beutiful water,, o yes the water haha
I youst hope that the stearing will be a little bitt bether.
and one more thing i hope there will be some one comming upp with how you can play the demo on the hole island.
becouse right now it is that if you go only
10meters away from your "target" the demo is kinda over and you have to do that part of the mission over ...
So should I cancel my preorder of Saints Row for this game?
Wellcome to the site StickyIcky21 :)
