ZO noes! Quick-time events. Other than that looks like a blast....er.

Edit: Grappling hook to hijack Heli's :O
Building destruction!!!
Why does the Swedish guy have an American accent?

 

[AiM]

F*cking amazing indeed. I look forward to the co-op in this.

Why does the Swedish guy have an American accent?

1. Grappling hook to hijack Heli was in Just Cause
2. The building destruction don't look all that good from the playable demo IGN was given very recently
3. It's his actual accent, the guy doing the Swedish voiceover is one of Swedens most famous actors.

Looks mint, but something tells me we just saw the best bits, and it will be pretty much the same thing on every level.

 

[Dalamari]

I've played Just Cause before, don't need another one

That's bad, how?

I heard a PS2 version was going to be released. I hope this one comes out before I ship off to boot camp. I'd like to play one last 'must have' before I die....errr am born again and have a new life.

I'm so glad that it's coming out on PC. Looks amazing.

 

[Gray Fox]

It's coming to the PC, I didn't know that. How ****ing cool is that guys.

 

[Shakermaker]

Looks like a great shooter for the console. I am not so sure on its transition to PC though. Hopefully the devs will give us a demo.

2. The building destruction don't look all that good from the playable demo IGN was given very recently

I didn't think it looked that good in this video. Destructibility seems to be more a case of building intact / building destroyed and nothing in between.

 

[Lucid]

Multiplayer co-op on the PC is all I care about.

 

[Shift]

Repetative aint it. If the missions on every level are very varied etc then it will be fine, but if its the same ol' chopper, tank, AA gun scenerio then Ill pass.

The coop should be fun though.

 

[Blackthorn]

Wow, I like the whole mashing a button to trigger a scripted sequence, what an innovation.

 

[TwwIX]

I Am definitely looking forward to this game. I loved the original.

 

[theotherguy]

interesting, never played the original.

I hate the button mashing thing.

 

[Unfocused]

The trailer was very cheesy.

The gameplay you linked to... I understand it's not supposed to be a realistic game but still it's over-the-top. So by throwing a nade inside the tank, you kill the crew, but leave the tank steering devices intact and can drive it around... Or maybe I'm just nitpicking.

The game looks very consolish in a bad way. And the engine seems a bit crap as well - the animations, ragdolls (were there even ragdolls there?), a mix of good and bad graphics.

 

[Raziaar]

It's going to be great. Really looking forward to this game ever since playing Mercs 1.

You are. If that stuff truly bothers you, you're looking at the wrong game. The overpowered characters and weapons are what bring me back to Mercs 1 rather than other open worlds such as GTA

 

[Agent.M]

This game is gonna be the shit and COOP is gonna be the win!! Mercs 1 is one of the most underrated games ever IMO.

 

[AiM]

Coop on the PC. I'm sold.

I do hope it's the full single-player campaign that's translated over though and not just gimped maps like Splinter Cell: Double Agent.

 

[Gargantou]

And lets hope the PC version is well-optimized, Pandemics previous PC games(Battlefront 1 and 2) haven't been all that greatly optimized on PC imo..

What? They run beautifully on the PC.
The interfaces and menus and huds in the game just wreak of of consolism.
