Base Jumping In Just Cause 2

I'm nauseous just watching the video. Just Cause 2, which will be release in 2010, is already turning some heads by it's awesome new style of gun toting gameplay. The game is not only beautifully rendered, but it gives such a stunning realism while in the air that players could probably spend all day base jumping off mountains or buildings and be completely satisfied by the gameplay. Honestly it reminds me of Pilot Wings for the Nintendo 64, but with more action, guns, and death from above.

Check out the latest developer diary for Just Cause 2 and be amazed by the things you can do with a grappling hook and a parachute. Imagine Spiderman para-sailing. It seems that the trend lately with video games has been to bring more of the game terrain/area to the player, and make the world as a whole more accessible. Long have we veered away from the typical side-scroller, only to have a full vertical as well as horizontal feel to our video game worlds. No longer is the player bound by the rules of up, down, left, and right.

I don't know about the rest of the community, but as soon as i get this game i'm finding the highest building humanly possible and jumping. I wonder if there's an achievement for that?
