Awwwesome! Thanks for the heads up!

I'm not even done downloading the TDU demo!

Just finished my first run through of the Just Cause demo..overall I'm a little underwealmed. Seems like it may be fun though, but the demos difficulty is turned down so low that it takes most of the fun out of shooting people--I mean, they're firing at me, but I can barely tell..even when a helo is in chase...

Vehicle controls sorta suck, they're not horrible but there's basically nothing to it and they could handle a lot better--I would have been satisfied if they performed a bit like GTA or Saints Row cars--but they don't..they're mostly slow and the handling is rather..clunky.. the various stunt possitions are atleast somewhat interesting--the parachute is okay. Helo controls are no better, though the game looks it's best when you're above the treeline..

Which brings me to the graphics..ew. Horrible (lacking of) proper texture filtering, horribly low poly models (both the people, and the vehicles) and ATROCIOUS use of motion blur--which you can turn off--but I'm not sure if it's any better without--atleast the post effects help hide the ugly.

Could be a fun game, all in all, lacking demo..atleast the treeline pop-in isn't as bad as the original TDU demo...

"Total Overdose without the soul"--sounds about right.

Now, off to try the new TDU demo.

The demo was the letdown of the century. Enemies come out of nowhere. Guerillas, police, military, everywhere! You can't even get far in the helicopter without getting shotdown. And you can't defend yourself from what you can't see. The camo and shadows hide your enemies in the jungle, and the enemy helicopters can shoot you down from very far away. I was dissappointed by the demo, immensely. Its structure was terrible, and I don't know whether mission issues were design flaws or demo limitations. Just to be safe, I'm renting this game first.

Have to say I disagree, in terms of gameplay Saints Row is way better than this..graphics, too. Though I don't really see the comparison..I suppose it is sort of like a poor mans Mercenaries though.

Funny, I was thinking that perhap some people thought this game had good graphics because they DIDN'T have an HDTV..HD generally brings out the ugly and that's certainly the case here. I don't see it--where's the awesome? Muddy, ugly textures, low as it gets poly counts, and abusive use of motion blur to try to hide it all--yes, these are some nice next gen visuals indeed.

Oh in that respect, I can see how someone might prefer Just Cause..if you're really turned off by the wangsta apeal of Saints Row--and I can't say I blame you for it--the game intentionally tries to be offensive..which is, in a way..sort of offensive--but despite that it still handles a whole lot better than this mess--the controls, the graphics, everything down to the combat is just better. And as Terra said--it's if the game is fun that matters--and gameplay matters more then setting when it comes to fun.

I'm glad to learn that this is a cheap port up. The different stunt possitions are a little wacky, but are also probably the most interesting thing in the demo.

Denjin: You can turn off the motion blur in the menu..though it's sort of hard to say which looks better--the blur does sort of help to hide some of the other flaws.

I once went into a shop to buy a camouflage Jacket.....but i couldn't find one.
