This Just Cause 2 Stunt Was Worth $10,000

Kotaku writes: "All Daniel Steinberg of Saint Louis Park, Minnesota, had to do to win $10,000 from Square Enix was fly a jet plane through a casino.

Steinberg is the winner of the Square Enix Just Cause 2 Stunt Challenge, beating out several solid competitors with his precision flying. It's not the most impressive Just Cause 2 stunt visually, but the skill it took making the plane fit through those windows was enough to impress the hell out of the contest's judging, and that's what counts."

lucky basta**

[Heartnet]

He did this video using PC and Xbox? looks like it from the controls haha

Most unimpressive video ive ever seen tbh

[TheIneffableBob]

Some people use a 360 controller for flying planes and helicopters (because the analogs are more similar to a flight stick) and then switch over to keyboard and mouse for on-foot action. I did the same in GTA4.

@ heartnet =>your a fanboy! the worst type aswell, Do not get jelous just say well done or be happy when people do or have better than you.

would love to see you do this!

great clip, and them GFX are amazing the bit where the plane is flying over the mountains looks really nice.

[Heartnet]

Lol how am i a fanboy lol for seeing this trick as unimpressive.. im more impressed by CoD players and i hate CoD..

And if i could be assed to do this i would lol but there is little point lol :) say well done? the chances of him reading this news article is fairly slim :P and i dont want to congratulate some1 whose so called 'stunt' is unimpressive

[edhe]

You try flying that jet and see how far you get :)

[ITLoo]

He makes it look easy.

[sdtarm]

is it not????????

I havent played this game :/

[WildArmed]

No, it requires hella lot of skill.
The stunt may not be visually appealing, but definitely the best skill-based stunt I've seen.
Flying a plane is bitch in JC2.
Man, that was effen epic.
not only did he fly through the casino, BUT HE ALSO, flew beneath 2 bridges (and one upside down)

D:
Crazy mofo

[Cyrus365]

Disagree, I've seen people fly a plane, and parachoot out of it, and land on another plane...

[MaxOpower]

well that was disappointing...

Great to see that I'm not the only one feeling that way.

Made me think of this
GTA:SA Impossible Hydra Stunts:

[Hideo_Kojima]

GTA SA flying was much harder than in Just Cause 2...

I mean this is pretty easy and if you fail you just repeat it 2-3-4-5-20 times and you will get it right.

Why did they pay him so much for so little?
Will they give me 10k if I do the same thing and send it to them?

[Soldierone]

@Cyrus, thats what I'm thinking. This may have been "hard" but its not like it couldn't be mastered with a few tries.

It'd been more epic if he was creative. Jump off one plane onto another, take that plane through the casino, dive down under the bridge, do some trick again, and go upside down the other, then have a grand finale finish. That way his "complicated" gameplay actually looks complicated.

[rroded]

for 10 grand tho

damn got ta buy the game now jus ta see if i can lol

so many games i havnt even finished yet... meh whats one more

[Cyrus365]

Stunt looks lame, i've seen better on Just cause 2, just flying through a window?

[xX TriiCKy Xx]

The hell do you mean, "just flying through a window?" That shit took skill. I want to see you do it in JC2.

[Heartnet]

flying through a window? this could have just took numerous tries lol.. to make a stunt worth 10 grand u want some fluky shit going on lol not oh he flew through a window.. wow? no

[despair]

I agree with Heartnet, it just takes a little practice and I'm sure its not insanely hard to do, although he had to come up with the idea and perform it so its still a great feat. I'd like to see some of his competition though as I find it hard to believe that this one was the best of the lot.

[Kingdom Come]

Underwhelmed?

[Cyrus365]

Agreed I felt the same way...

[Kingdom Come]

Extraordinary. I mean Jesus, if that's worthy of $10,000... Jesus.

[AllroundGamer]

as you probably know Square Enix is making the best games nowadays and therefor have lot of money to throw at people ;)

/s

(upcoming news - Square Enix goes bankrupt)

[despair]

or scary news, Activision and Square Enix merger....

[Kingdom Come]

If Kotick got his hands on Square Enix, Final Fantasy XVIII would be out by the end of next year *Shudders*

[skynidas]

That was lame as hell... With enought practice almost everyone can do that.

[lars2thev]

This looks pretty easy to me with all the opportunities you got with Just Cause 2. Is it possible to win this ammount of money by scoring a penalty with FIFA, that is even harder then this.

But congratulations man, don't waste it.

[SKUD]

Tax free?. Doubt it.

[BannedForNineYears]

Why does it say B to stunt jump and then at the end it says press space/Alt/ blah blah blah as if he's on a keyboard........Weird much?

[LinuxGuru]

Probably had a 360 controller hooked up for flight. Game was most likely played on PC.

[HDgamer]

I think he used a pc and he knows how to code lol. If this was actually done by the pc version.
