Steam News has word that an updated version of the Just Cause 2 demo is available (as of yesterday). The new demo for Avalanche Studios' sandbox action game adds a benchmark along with some bug fixes (thanks StaQuix). The complete change list follows.

Changes in the demo patch include:

  • Added benchmark (available from the main menu)
  • Localization fixes.
  • New MSAA options added.
  • Problem with CUDA water while using SLI configurations fixed.
  • SSAO intensity tweaked.
  • Bokeh option not shown when it isn't supported.
  • Helicopter controls functional when re-entering a spinning helicopter in mid-air.
  • Improved default video card selection in multi-GPU systems.

Added comandline options:

  • Improved default video card selection in multi-GPU systems (override with command line option /dxadapter=)
  • Framerate cap command line option (/frameratecap=, default: disabled)
  • SwapChain buffer count command line option (/dxbuffers=, default: 1)
  • FOV factor command line option (/fovfactor=, typical values 1.0 - 2.0)

So, how does it rate? My list: (in order...kinda)

Grand Theft Auto 4
Just Cause 2
Mercenaries 2
Far Cry 2
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Saints Row 2
Just Cause

It's hard to judge JC2, since I've only played the small demo, but just from that, and from the trailers, I think it may wind up just taking the overall crown. It will depend a bit on whether there's a lot of missions that are unique. Just going into towns and blowing up some gas stations will get old pretty quick. If they've got 30-40 odd interesting missions in there, I think it will just rule the open world crowd.

Right now I'd put them

San Andreas
GTA4
Just Cause 2
Far Cry 2

I've never played any of the others.

Btw, love the Ivanova quote in your sig.
