The only thing I don't like is that he falls so damn slow. I want to reach real terminal velocity dammit! Parachute should still be able to save your life at the last moment though.

That was much less than a mile.
I keep saying: Grapple floor as soon as you can, survive fall. it would be so [i]easy[/i]. Also: hit skybox, leave helecopter, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, grapple helecopter, enter helecopter, land, :smug:. and then get hit by taxi and die.
Yeah I thought about grappling back on but thought it'd be better trying to die in the explosion, if at all possible I failed :(
And this is why I loved Just Cause. You could do the jump there as well.
Actually, the game drastically slows down the human terminal velocity. You were about a mile high. Four miles would see you in space :P

[QUOTE=Risonhighmer;20581867]The music in that video is awful. But what you are doing is awesome.[/QUOTE] D: How dare you, sir.
You have to fall 395 meters to reach terminal velocity. It takes around 30 seconds to fall a mile at terminal velocity. You can work out the rest :D
[QUOTE=Rosek;20581285] I hope someone creates a way to bypass the time limit on the demo, that would be awesome.[/QUOTE] [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=20578365&postcount=1060]Someone already did.[/url]
Hopefully they'll be a mod in the full version that allows gravity tweakage or something, cuz I wanna fall faster. [editline]01:43AM[/editline] [QUOTE=deathrat;20581915][url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=20578365&postcount=1060]Someone already did.[/url][/QUOTE] Do not understand.

The boundary isn't well-agreed upon, but it ranges from 50 miles (US definition to determine if you qualify as an astronaut) to 76 (what the Shuttle uses for reentry), with 62 being the most common. Unless the game works on a 1/10 scale, 4 miles wouldn't get you anywhere near space. 4 miles up is lower than most jetliners (6.6 miles).

I did this too: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L02J6NlhHJc[/media] Except I actually pulled the parachute. :v:
you fell so much
ain't kidding when they say "a big map"
A 4:3 monitor? In [i]my[/i] 2010?
Sort of anti-cinematic landing there, you think they could've made it a bit more interesting and realistic than just a ragdoll that flops around like a fish.
[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;20582945] Except I actually pulled the parachute. :v:[/QUOTE] Why would you do that? :(
The math is pretty weak. I just Googled some information about terminal velocity and didn't bother to fact check the information. After some estimation and simple math, I came to a number of about 4.03 miles. It seemed like an impressive distance to fall, so I just put it in the title of the video. If you can more accurately judge the distance, feel free to PM me. I'll change the video title accordingly. [b]Edit:[/b] I also felt that pulling my parachute would detract from the eventual pay off of falling and hitting the ground. [QUOTE=smurfy;20583303]A 4:3 monitor?

[QUOTE=KingQ8;20574502]I lol'd so hard at your landing. Also, that game is beautiful. I'm getting it for the 360 (I just think games like this and GTA are better on 360) but man it looks fucking awesome. What are your PC specs?[/QUOTE] It supports the 360 controller, you could just use one for the PC and get the advantages of steam and better graphics and such. :D Also if you think you fall at terminal velocity in just cause.... lol.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKr5fxTOc_w[/media] Got even higher this time. Plus, I set my resolution to 1280 x 720 so YouTube wouldn't mess with the video.

[QUOTE=ProgramFiles;20583208]ain't kidding when they say "a big map"[/QUOTE] And you're seeing about a tenth of the full one.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;20586190]And you're seeing about a tenth of the full one.[/QUOTE] Less [img]http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq204/kidz95/jc2ma-1.jpg[/img] The demo is that little desert area on the bottom left. It's not even the full island.
I'm really looking forward to the full game. It's going to be so intense.
The full game has a Boeing 737 you can fly. I can't wait to buzz the trees with it.
Yeah, planes are going to be incredibly fun. Especially if you can manage to tether a car to it, fly it up somewhere, jump out, get in the car, and then detach the line.
And then what? Fall to your death?! Planes are incredibly hard to fly. Stupid arcade system when I expect moar realism. >:(
