Avalanche Studio CEO Christofer Sundberg has made clear in an interview with Swedisch Magazine Kong that they are working on a second game of Just Cause. Just Cause has only been released one month ago.
You will still play as Undercover-Agent Rico Rodriquez but you won't be playing in San Espirito anymore. The new location or any other information about the game haven't been given yet. Just Cause will be released on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
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
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.
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.
But they better make the gameplay as good as the graphics this time.
Well Bungie started Halo 3 right after Halo 2 was finished, Rockstar started GTA:SA after GTA:VC so they are thinking ahead and they want to make a better game.
I thought that the gameplay was really good on Just Cause, i thought that the Cutscenes were crap but it's a game not a movie. I thought that the style was really fun, being able to pull off absoloutly impossible stunts without barely lifting a finger.
Ok whats the relevance posting an article that's in another language?
Oh haha wow I'm a moron, but whoever is doing that english translation is horrific tho...oh and I have a few questions if anybody who knows could possibly clear this up for me, I went out and randomly bought a new 50" Hi def TV today and well I have a HDTV now that I play my 360 on and I use the cables that came with the Premium package. But now my new TV has slots for VGA and all that, should I keep to component cables or will I get a better picture from VGA?
