Avalanche Studios, makers of Just Cause, is opening a new office in New York City. The office is meant to prepare for new projects and not for the Just Cause series.
"It’s become popular in recent years for developers to keep track of their game’s stats, so we see just how many hours the world as a whole has wasted doing donuts in a Warthog or how many virtual hookers have been murdered in Liberty City."
"This week sees a fair bit of a shake-up in the UK's retail charts, with Just Cause 2 sitting pretty atop the all format charts, provided by ChartTrack. Having seen God of War III rise to the top spot and knocking Final Fantasy XIII from it's perch last week, it comes of little shock to see Square Enix taking the gold once again with their latest release. However, there are a few greater surprises further down that list."
"Square Enix has today launched the highly-anticipated Just Cause 2 at European retail. The sequel to 2006’s under-appreciated Just Cause, Avalanche Studio’s Just Cause 2 is now available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC as part of Square Enix’s EIDOS label."
"Square Enix and Avalanche Studios are set to launch the highly anticipated sequel to 2006’s Just Cause tomorrow, and are certain they want you to know about it. Not content with an extraordinary amount of press coverage, print advertising and standard television commercials, the publisher has gone one better, with Just Cause 2 sponsoring one of the UK’s popular late evening comedy channels, DAVE, part of the UKTV network."
"Two interesting releases this week featuring games whose originals had some great concepts but weren't as good as they could have been. Just Cause 2 parachutes you on to another open-world island for mayhem and destruction while Red Steel 2 sends you to a wild west future with Wii MotionPlus support."
"Aside from your profile options, not much else is yet available on the Square Enix Members official website, apart from what appears to be set to become the publisher’s equivalent of Nintendo’s “Stars” community feature. Gamers are given the option to register their games, which will than appear on their profile homepage."
"Just Cause 2 for the PS3 will include a video capture feature that collects the previous 30 seconds of gameplay, processes it, and uploads it directly to the player's YouTube channel, so when you do something incredibly dangerous - say, ramming an oil tanker with a jet fighter - you can quickly share it with the entire world."
Just Cause 2 has been delayed to sometime in 2009. In the game you are Rico Rodriquez, and you are in the South East Asian islands of Panau. This new sequel features all new stuff from the first game such as new vehicles, stunts, weapons, and a grappling hook system.
The game is being published by Eidos, and will being released sometime on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC.
"The people at GamePlayer should really watch what they say, but in this case im glay they didnt. According to an article writen by Tristan Ogilvie of GamerPlayer Just Case 2 will be hitting the stores in August of this year."
