Eidos has announced that gamers who buy the PlayStation 3 version of Just Cause 2, will be able to record a 30-second clip from their own game and upload it onto Youtube. If you’re unsure why this could be a neat feature for the game, than chances are, you have no clue what the sequel to the 2006 sandbox game is about.

The story follows Rico Rodriguez, a CIA black ops agent, whose main purpose in the first game was to overthrow a evil dictator who controls a fictional island inspired by Panama. While the landscape inside “San Esperito” is realistic looking, the action is way over-the-top; however, that is not necessarily a horrible thing either.

Rodriguez is once again sent out to another island, this time it’s geographically inspired by both New Zealand and Hawaii. From some of the footage we’ve seen, Rodriguez was see doing crazy acrobatic stuff like, jumping onto a flying plane or skydiving off a mountain. Sure, it’s totally unreal, but you can see how it could be fun in a videogame. And having the ability to upload some of your more crazy stunts onto Youtube — you can easily see how that could be a fun feature.

To be honest, I don’t know why more videogame companies haven’t taken an initiative to allow a similar feature. It also doesn’t make a lot of sense why they haven’t done this, especially considering many of the home consoles out there are hooked up to the Internet one way or another. Hopefully this is the beginning of more to come.
