PC PS2 Xbox

Swedish Avalanche Studios got alot of stuff going on. Just Cause, which impressed many during E3, is planned for a release on Xbox and PC. Swedish TV-show Kontroll visited them, and they also got some footage of the Avalanche's next-gen graphics engine to be used on Xbox 360, PC and PS3. More info inside, and don't forget to check out the very impressive next-gen engine video, which may be kicking some Oblivion ass.


The Just Cause world is massive, with over 1000 square kilometers to explore (32*32 km). The game is planned for an holiday release, and the main concept is freedom. You'll be given a mission to go somewhere, and perhaps kill someone, but after that the rest is all up to you. You can go by foot, boat, car, airplane or whatever you want to use. When you're there, you can go Rambo or just sneak in - it's your choice! Avalanche also confirmed that they just started developing a second title, no more info given though.

same with the engine, impressive. i could see that used for some sort of Ghost recon game, that would rock :)

Hopefully advanced warfighter will turn out great!

The first thing i thought when i saw the engine was Ghost Recon. But i'm sure many developers could find alot to do with it.

Damn...that even puts UE3 to shame. I hope to see that engine used in future games, especially in the ghost recon games, as well as in RPG's..

The next-gen engine looks awesome, thinking about something like Operation Flashpoint on an engine like that makes me a little giddy! :)

I would say Half Life 2 showed us all that all the bump- and whatever mapping isn't that important to make a game look very amazing. The textures just have to be sharp and real.

Wow this engine is Impressive, reminds me of what CryEngine 2 will be able to do.
Also reminds me of Operation Flashpoint and S.T.A.L.K.E.R are capable of.

I can't image what games on the Xbox 360 and PS3 will be able to accomplish in 1 year or 2 from now.

If this engine is going to be used in games for the Xbox 360, why does the title have a Xbox logo in front of it? At first i thought we where dealing with a game for the original Xbox here, imagine my amazement. :P

erm I think you guys are forgettin something. Do you know how many xboxs are in homes? Well a lot ...hehe So even if a game isn't sucessful it will still sell a lot better on the original xbox than it will on the xbox360 as there are going to be considerably more xbox's in gamers homes than 360's for a while to come.
