I actually really enjoyed the original. This just looks like more, faster, shinier. And I'm totally OK with that. #eidos

The core mechanic seems to be a bit of a Bionic Commando knockoff. And the voice-over is cheesy as all hell. On top of that his accent and manner of speaking don't match at all; I can't tell if he's faking the accent or if the developer went with generic, b-movie crap for dialog.

I can tolerate fantasy physics. But at least make it look convincing. No attempt was made here and so the game looks ridiculous. At least Hollywood and Hong Kong make things look somewhat plausible.

I predict this game will be a flop. #eidos

This game will probably be;

80% surfing from car to car with a parachute.

15% climbing tall buildings... Then jumping off and using the parachute.

5% anything left that doesn't have to do with your parachute. #eidos

Half of the things he is doing makes no sense. It's like he said "fuck you physics I have a magic grappling hook" and then...well....fucked physics to make himself do absurd things for the sake of looking cool, while being completely impractical. #eidos

Your point? Quite frankly im sick of games ruining what could be a fun experience by attempting to hamstring "Real world physics" into them.

You don't see a single great action flick that adheres to physics, so why has it become the trend to do it in gaming? #eidos

@(Zombie) D Mitsuki, Gotta have guts kid!: Not only did he fuck physics, he then told her in the morning that he would help spring for some of her bus fair back home, then rolled over and went back to sleep after she left in tears...

...that's what Physics gets for being such a slut!

@qumahlin: I have no point, I was simply pointing out the blatant disregard for physics.

Not necessarily bad because of it, just preveilant through the entire thing. #eidos

@infinitezero: This looks to be a game in the tradition of Crackdown, Hulk Ultimate Destruction and, hell... Rampage. Nobody knew they wanted it, not the deepest games ever, nor the best reviewed, but dammit... it's fun when you can go wherever you want to, and fuck shit up. #eidos

This is looking like what games should be about, unabashed freedom, being able to do things you can't do in reality. I mean you can use a speedboat as a battering ram of sorts, ala like the image I have, this game is going to be awesome if it doesn't pull an Advent Rising. #eidos

"I've taken lives, incited civil wars and destabalised nations, I thought I was done but I was wrong, my biggest crime is my terrible accent!"

Oh and dear Kotaku, this man just might be evil enough to work in your IT department, just what the hell is going on? As well as linked comments being disabled and more than one page of comments being consigned to the ether the site has suddenly decided that I can't comment as I'm not logged in, even though I obviously am.

@TexasJack: By "day purchase", do you mean that you will proudly purchase Just Cause whilst the sun shines, instead of furtively picking it up at night while wearing a hoodie and assiduously avoiding all eye contact?

Or did you, and this is quite boring, just forget the "one"? =P #eidos

Maybe I'm not normal but I was just thinking about this game yesterday. And really hoping it lives up to how much fun it seems to be in trailers and videos so far.

There are so many games that are supposed to be so incredible and awesome until they are shipped and fall a bit flat. Hoping this isn't one of them! #eidos
