Just Cause Developer Worked On Alternate History 1950s Game

Avalanche Studios, the developer of the Just Cause series, was once at work on game that took place in an alternate-history version of the 1950s.

In an interview with the YouTube channel Wassup Conversations, writer Mikael Saker recalled when Avalanche had to make severe studio cuts to both personnel and projects, including the alternate-history game.

It was insane! We had this huge version of London that looked spectacular. We didn't have skyscrapers, but we had, like inverted heights, so the city grew downwards, to the ground.

So it was visually, and world-building wise spectacular and it had some really great gameplay ideas."Continue Reading at GameSpot
