Just Cause 2 has been delayed until sometime in 2009.
The game, which will be published by Eidos, is the sequel to developer Avalanche Studios’ previously game, Just Cause, that was released on last-gen consoles (and Xbox 360). It was an open-world action game and Just Cause 2 will continue in that vein while upping the ante considerably.
In Just Cause 2 Rico Rodriquez is back to wreak havoc once again, this time with a new destination, the huge playground of the South East Asian islands of Panau. The sequel features more stunts, vehicles and weapons than ever before and an incredible overhauled grappling hook system (the original let you grapple onto almost anything from anywhere). Panau itself is an incredibly detailed and vast 1000 sq km game world of different climates and ultra-realistic weather effects. Leap from your plane and skydive from 10,000 feet down into a tropical jungle, tear across an arid desert in a dune buggy or climb your way up a snowy mountain in a 4×4. The vast open-ended, unique gameplay is back, allowing you full freedom once again to free roam and explore the massive world of Panau and tackle your assignments however you want.
Additions and changes from the first game include: The removal of side missions (which have been replaced by “chaos activities” that reward destruction with increased influence in your associated factions), reworked artificial intelligence, a new lock-on system that allows you to target individual limbs on enemies, bigger and more devastating weapons and improved vehicle controls.
