Don’t Be Surprised At An Eventual Just Cause 3 Announcement

If you're having a blast with Just Cause 2 , you'll be happy to know that developer Avalanche Studios is poised and ready to deliver a third.

As reported by ThatVideoGame Blog , series designer Christofer Sundberg says fans "shouldn't be surprised" if they eventually announce a third iteration in the new franchise. He says they're definitely interested in pushing forward with the open-world, destruction-based concept and added that the studio "lives and breathes the Just Cause franchise, and handing that over to another developer would spoil it." As usual, sales numbers tend to rely on review scores and Sundberg says the team is excited about the positive scores they've seen thus far:

"Just seeing all those review scores coming in was fantastic, especially from the sites that scored the first Just Cause a little bit lower than we hoped. That’s the most satisfying thing for us, but we’re delighted also that the game got to number one in the charts in the UK. It was released on the Thursday last week, so it’s great that the game’s going so well."

While it's certainly true that JC2 is better than the original (in our eyes, anyway), the question is whether or not the total sales number will be high enough to warrant a third entry. At this rate, it certainly appears the late-March release will be a big success and for that, we should applaud Avalanche. By the way, you can expect our review towards the end of the week…playing it now.

LOL, currently I live in the western part of Illinois. I'm from the Chicago area. Both places have Starbucks and while I enjoy the coffee I can't justify a $6 cup of coffee.

LV, no doubt dude. It is crazy here. People wander in there all down and depressed, tie a rubber tube around their arm, tap their vein's and get their fix. Then they walk out all happy.

We have so many coffee joints here from Starbucks, Tully's, and Seattle's Best Coffee.

Only in Seattle can you be sitting in a coffee shop, sitting down by a window, and look across the street and see the exact same coffee shop. I'll be damned if you don't see yourself across the street in the window looking back at yourself. (Had to throw in the Primer/time travel reference to bring it full circle for you)

Oh crap…. Another game I have to ad to my ever growing list of to buy games…. I should finish with GOWIII tonight then it will finally be Assassin's Creed II and then it will be Heavy Rain (Still can't find any copies in stock which I guess is a good sign) then I will look in getting something like JC2…
