BG&E2 is whatever Ancel wants it to be, he looked genuinely excited about this so I wouldn't be concerned about direction or whatever. Can he ship it though? lol

It will be 15+ years when the sequel lands, do you expect a game that is similar to the first? It's no like it has aged very well, it's a very restrictive stealth game with a tiny 'open world'.

 

[flaxknuckles]

Never. Vivendi is taking over and shutting it down next year.

They won't now that it's online and mature rated.

 

[Barry Burton]

Ancel will probably deliver a good game but...this is not BG&E2.

Pretty much how I feel about this...

 

[thecouncil]

we DID see a BG&E2 trailer at a conference about 10 years ago, right?

 

[Machina]

Laura Dale is saying this is exclusive to Switch for one year

 

[jim2point0]

That time when Ubisoft won the E3.

Eh. I'm not won over by a CG trailer.

 

[mrlion]

This is gonna be pushed to next gen isn't it?

Current gen is already approaching the 5 year mark and this game doesn't even have a release year window.

Its been 3 years barely and that's why PS4 Pro and Xbone X exist...calm down.

 

[Sora the Cat]

Am I the only one who saw a little bit of gameplay in the back while he was talking? Am I crazy?

 

[Peterc]

Switch 12 months exclusive? or whats the story?

 

[Kierian]

Not what I expected, but I'll take it.

I love the world of Beyond Good and Evil, I'll happily take any game that lets me explore it.

 

[a.wd]

Fifth element had Sex with bge.

God is real.

 

[DangerMouse]

That BGE2 trailer was possibly the best trailer I've ever seen....I was spellbound.

I'm talking Mass Effect 2 launch trailer levels of amazing.

Yeah it was fantastic.

But the lack of Jade is really bringing me down to realistic hype after a decade of waiting specifically for her.

 

[Ridley327]

Glad to see it's not completely dead yet, but wow, this is pretty far from the first game game as they could get. It also doesn't inspire a lot of confidence on how much is actually done at this point when all they have to show is a flash CG trailer and a lot of motion comic concept art.

 

[Caronte]

I liked it but it looks so... different.

 

[Frumix]

It's like getting Rabbids instead of Rayman 4.

 

[metsallica]

Laura Dale is saying this is exclusive to Switch for one year

Really? Why wouldn't they mention that? Fishy.

Is the site working yet?

 

[antibolo]

Will buy if on Switch.

 

[Cheat Code]

As a huge Ancel stan it was kind of painful to watch him get emotional about something that, to me, completely misses the point.


Whodathunk a Rabbids game would look way more appealing than BG&E 2?

The strengths of Beyond Good & Evil was in it's super interesting world and characters, the coexisting of anthropomorphic animals and humans within a dark story.

The gameplay was barebones as fuck. They could do anything in the same universe and it would be a worthy successor.

[OricWindstar]

Yeah, this is pretty different, but the last minute of the trailer feels like pure BG&E to me.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Nintendo will drop the bomb during treehouse live.




Good E3 this year!

 

[Randomizer]

Doesn't sound too hot tbh. Would prefer a strong narative driven single player game and an actual sequel to Jade's story.

 

[MontyBrown]

Who played this and thought it needed edgy characters, swearing and online functionality?

And who finished the game and then thought "Hey let's not wrap up these loose ends"...

He was probably crying on stage because they wouldn't let him make a proper sequel.

 

[Chrisdk]

This sounds like Beyond Good and Evil in name only.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Switch 12 months exclusive? or whats the story?

...no? What on Earth leads you to believe that?

 

[GabeTheGrouch76]

An early project for Vivendi to cancel immediately, cool.

Wait, did the deal go through? Vivendi has acquired Ubisoft now?

 

[arts&crafts]

Let me be a space monkey! Its not working! http://bgegame.com/

 

[Dash_]

So this has been confirmed as a prequel by Ubisoft then?

No Jade? What the hell.

 

[ChoklitCow]

I'm in it for the boob physics:

 

[Prevolition]

As someone who has never played the first, this trailer didn't do anything for me. Nice cinematics, but that's it. Is it returning characters that people are excited about? The space travel? There wasn't gameplay, so that can't be it. The prospects of it finally coming out?

 

[-Horizon-]

Its been 3 years barely and that's why PS4 Pro and Xbone X exist...calm down.

Wasn't the ps4 shown off in 2013?

 

[Chuck]

Yeah I dunno about this. Too much tude.

Trailer breakdown with Michel Ancel

Gonna watch and hope for redemption.

 

[Boogiepop]

Ugh, "online playground" single-handedly took this from game I was super hyped about and likely announcement of the show to something I likely wouldn't even buy if it means what it sounds like. Like... why?

 

[jett]

An early project for Vivendi to cancel immediately, cool.

Never. Vivendi is taking over and shutting it down next year.

aw shit

 

[Lovely Salsa]

When will we get graphics that look like that? PS6?

 

[Lakuza]

I wonder if "Dakini" (the woman with the green eyes at the end of the trailer) is Jade's mother. I just hope this is a prequel that leades into the first game and not just an event in the past that has no tie in to jade.

Also I like the design for the girl with the afro, hopefully she's the charcater you control

I'm interpreting "online playground" as space/ cities being online hubs but the normal missions that take place in isolated maps being single player or co-op only.

 

[jim2point0]

Doesn't sound too hot tbh. Would prefer a strong narative driven single player game and an actual sequel to Jade's story.

Same here.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Laura Kate Dale saying the same source that gave her the Rabbids info months ago told her that BG&E2 is Switch exclusive for a year.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

we DID see a BG&E2 trailer at a conference about 10 years ago, right?

There were 2 trailers, one cgi and one gameplay.

 

[sirap]

It's like getting Rabbids instead of Rayman 4.

This...

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy we're getting another entry in the universe...but Jade is the centerpiece of BGE for a lot of us fans.

 

[Moongazer]

BG&E and online aren't things I want to hear together. Ubisoft needs to give it a rest with the shared world/online stuff. Not every game needs to be that. Especially BG&E of all things.

 

[Griss]

-Online playground
-prequel, even though the first game ended on a huge cliffhanger and the fans have been asking for the continuation of the story

Who asked for this version of BG&E2?

Yeah, honestly. Now that I think about it there was a lot of monkey's paw elements to the reveals.

Pirate game and the multiplayer, the space game and the toys, and BG&E being an online prequel.

 

[FZZ]

LKD has been right about (mostly) everything so far

no reason not to believe her

 

[FireBeaver]

IT'S HAPPENING

Also I don't believe Laura Kale Dale at all she's has a bad track record with leaks after all.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Laura Dale is saying this is exclusive to Switch for one year

Its a lifetime exclusive to the Vaporware 9000

 

[Jackpot]

I know when I think of "Beyond Good and Evil" I think of getting into shootouts with cops screaming "MOTHERFUCKKEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRS!"

 

[KainXVIII]

Biggest disappointment so far 😭

 

[thecouncil]

https://twitter.com/LaurakBuzz/status/874375161100857346

I'll be surprised if it even comes out in the Switch generation.

 

[GarciaHotspur]

What a disapointment.
