New Just Cause 2 Trailer "Fire Trucks vs Jets"

DoctorFinger · 02-23-2010, 01:57 PM

There's something sort of...primal about Avalanche Studio's Just Cause 2. From the trailers we've seen the development process must have just been and endless stream of "wouldn't it be awesome if..." statements. Which is the only way we could get this new 'Anatomy of a Stune trailer, simply titled "Fire Truck vs Jet." Because really, that's a fight we'd all like to see. Like pirates versus ninjas, or a bear versus a shark.

Just Cause 2 will be released March 23 for the 360, PS3 and PC

That is so damn weird seeing that Square-Enix logo before a trailer like this. JC2 looks like pure fun so long as the controls pan out. Not something I could justify grabbing at full price right away, but definitely a good late summer purchase.

Movie doesn't play all the way through for me. Hmmm

I was hoping he'd jump on it like Battlefield players do.

MachEnergy · 02-23-2010, 02:19 PM

I assumed he would tether the truck to the jet to prevent it from taking off....

Still, I will at least have to rent this game. Looks like insane amounts of sandbox fun.

Krispy's right, that trailer was the worst of the lot thus far. Surprisingly thin, considering how great previous teases have been. I'm excited for the game, but like Gorvi, the controls will kill or save it.

Any of you guys get any hands-on time with this title yet?

Meh, why didn't he grapple the plane. I was waiting for it to become less bad. You never do shit like that so well with those games.

roboninja · 02-23-2010, 03:29 PM

Holy low polygon counts, Batman!

Just a bad trailer overall.

Squidbot · 02-23-2010, 04:58 PM

Quite nice

I'm not sure whether or not I like the graphics. It could be the video, but I'm not impressed. Also, that was the most anti-climactic trailer ever. I mean seriously, the guy jumps on top of a fire truck and the plane takes off over him. All that tells me is that this game ignores some very important physics lessons that would have completely trashed that firetruck as soon as it was on top of it. He would have been crushed by the sheer pressure created by the lift.

In short, that trailer sucked...

I'm not sure it's the trailer that needs an important physics lesson.

Every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction. The plane being lifted and propelled forward creates a large force in opposition. With the low distance that was shown, he would have easily been forced backwards and down onto the firetruck that he was standing on.

To take off, a plane needs to deflect wind downward with enough force to counter its weight. Standing directly below the plane would be incredibly detrimental to one's health.

At the expense of fun.

i was hoping for a collision, and resulting explosion. weak.

also, why does the firetruck sound like a corvette, and not like, say, a fire truck?

edit: Tebrin, i'mn fairly certain that's not how an airplane wing works. if bill nye the science guy, the Wright brothers, and my 4th grade teacher are correct, wings work by reducing air pressure ABOVE the wing to create lift.

Draggnknucks · 02-24-2010, 02:37 PM

How anticlimactic.

If the plane was taking off completely vertically, then your thought process might make sense, but even then you'd have to factor in the area over which that force is spread in the opposite direction.

Boring trailer.
Awesome fun looking game.

Wasson_ · 02-24-2010, 08:46 PM

all the trailers for this game are utterly abysmal, actually. IDK if they're going for some kind of ironic thing or what...
