Snart et det tid til at hoppe i sandkassen nok engang. Ifølge et Twitter-indlæg fra Mike Oldman, Community Manager hos Square Enix i London, vil demoen af Just Cause 2 ramme Steam, Xbox Live og Playstation Network d. 4. Marts. I et interview med Panau Island løfter han desuden sløret for hvad vi kan forvente af denne demo. Der er tilsyneladende ikke blot tale om et par missioner eller få minutters spilletid, men snarere om en kæmpe legeplads og masser af frihed. Vi kan dermed se frem til en anseelig smagsprøve på spillet, før det udkommer i Europa d. 26. Marts.

So Mike, can you give us any information about the Just Cause 2 demo? What kind of things will you be able to do?

The demo will give you a pretty good snapshot of what the final game has to offer. So in terms of Rico’s abilities and the crazy stunts he can pull off – it’s all in there. There’s also one whole multi-stage faction mission for you to try, a race challenge and ample opportunities to cause chaos at pretty much every turn. There’s a good mix of vehicles, everything from tuk tuks to planes, helicopters to jeeps, military and civilian. We really want you to play it again and again, to try out as much as you can. If you don’t fancy tackling the mission for example, don’t. See if we care. You’ll easily find something else to keep you occupied.

That sounds pretty cool! So is it true that the demo will literally be one big sandbox? How much freedom do we get in terms of exploration?

That’s exactly right. One BIG sandbox. It’s approximately 35 square miles of sandy desert, featuring towns and settlements, military bases, runways (and planes) and plenty more. In terms of freedom, it’s really up to you, but we’ve certainly included more than enough to play with.

And how does the Just Cause 2 demo compare to the full game?

As I said before all of Rico’s abilities are in there, so you can try out pretty much anything you want. The main difference is the real game will feature more of everything – different climate zones, weather and times of day, a load more vehicles, missions and of course… water.

  1. #1 Kvalitet over kvantitet. Det var ikke specielt fedt at tage rundt i 1’eren, det er lidt lige som Farcry 2, WTF som man så har en billion trillion zillion million kilometer, når det hele er ens lol. og der er sten hver 3 meter i skoven sådan man absolute ikke kan kører.

    Det er lidt det samme med GTA serien, jeg håber 5’eren har den mindste by nogensinde, men har Physx osv sådan vi kan jævne bygninger med jorden.

    Kunne være fedt i Just Cause 2 hvis man kunne smadre hele bygninger’ broer.

  2. #6 De nævner selv destruction som i Red Faction i nogle af de videoer jeg har set… men de viser kun tårne, antenner og vagttårne blive smadret… så jeg ved sgu ikke lige hvad resultatet er.

  3. #8 ja med hensyn til destruction vinder BC2 med garanti, meen nu er det jo lidt svært at sammenligne 2 forskellige typer spil. BC2 = action/shooter JC2 = action/sandbox
