When you work through the DLC pack, after you’re done with that, you’ll have a fully upgraded mech. Everything Rico has – his grapple, his wingsuit, his other skills – has a progression, and the mech has its own progression as well. GamesBeat: How do you work up to getting the mecha?Īnderson: There’s a progression path. It’s quite difficult to take them all out. The bases in the DLC are somewhere in the medium to more advanced range if you compare them to the main game. You’ll have a bit less shielding to start and the enemies are quite powerful. When you take on the bases-the mech we’re showing you here is pretty upgraded. GamesBeat: Is there a sort of rock-paper-scissors thing to the antagonists? It seems pretty indestructible so far.Īnderson: There are plenty of enemies that can hurt you. We experimented with that, but things started to go a little haywire. GamesBeat: Can someone pick you up and throw you?Īnderson: No, they can’t. GamesBeat: Are the mecha almost indestructible? It seems like other mecha are the only ones that could damage them.Īnderson: Other mecha can definitely damage them.

It’s a new part of the world that the players haven’t seen before, a new land mass. It’s a proper new experience, especially in this new place. It has some new enemies, mecha and so on. But the DLC is a storyline that spans three to four hours or so. GamesBeat: What can players expect from the rest of this DLC? Are they going to be doing this the whole time?Īnderson: This is more just for you guys to be able to mess around with the mechanics. Having him pilot this amazing war machine is another step in the same vein, I’d say. GamesBeat: It seems to fit well with the sense of humor of the game.Īnderson: Just Cause has always been a bit tongue-in-cheek with everything, from Rico to the enemies. Go anywhere, be very strong, and also have this gravity arm that can pick up things and throw them and all the other crazy stuff. But when we combined that with the players’ creativity, we got this one machine. We had the idea of a mech in the making, a very advanced vehicle.

To a degree, actually, the inspiration came from watching people play the main game and seeing what they like to mess around with.

GamesBeat: Where did you get the idea for this, grabbing things and throwing them?Īnderson: Basically from having a very physicalized game, a lot of physics simulation going on, combined with a lot of destruction. Now the second one is due out in early June. The first DLC came out at the beginning of March. Tobias Anderson: The original game came out on December 1.
