Swearing is not dark.

In fact, this trailer was very lighthearted compared to the dark tone of the original.

I'm not saying it is. If anything i'm agreeing with you.
The darker tone from the original were some of the best parts. I don't see the current tone and some swearing taking away from that.
 
I felt the swearing was OK because, in French, I would have sworn as much.

If this comes out on Switch and offers the same scale of world building, I'm going to be very very happy.
 
Not even close to true. Her list of Switch software at launch was way, way off.

I feel like being incorrect about release date details is forgivable, compared to what she did in fact get correct. If nothing else, her contact at Ubisoft has proven out to be legitimate.
 
It was a nice surprise, but not feeling the direction for now, and this not having Jade is pretty disappointing. Still, I shall keep it in mind for sure.
 
Laura has been pretty accurate y'all

One year Switch exclusivity seems legit

I hope not it looks unfit.
(Huge online MMO whatever

Not hoping a game comes to a platform where more people can play it and it can reach a bigger audience than on less platforms

It's great that the trailer went all out in production values, but I do worry that people who see it will expect the final game to look like a CGI movie, but kudos to Ancel and the team if they deliver.

Still, it's hard to get excited until I see actual gameplay, I felt like this about Shenmue 3 even though the last two are some of my favourite games of all time. But I'm intrigued at the shift in tone nonetheless, even though it's not going to be the same kind of atmosphere (i.e. a game you could play with family) as the first.
 
The tonal shift here is bringing back bad memories of the transition from Prince of Persia: Sands of Time to Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. Unnecessary.
 
A chimpanzee with teeth joins an afro'd black lady on a sky bike? Hmm... I mean, I'ma play this game because I've been waiting like a decade, but that was a questionable decision.

Edit: And they're fighting the police. Like, I don't really think they had any malice in mind, but I'm not going to be the last person to give this side-eye.
 
I dunno you guys. I'm just not feeling it.

All I wanted was a proper single player campaign sequel. So far, this doesn't look like it's going to be that.

Maybe it'll be an ok game, just not what I wanted or hoped for.

I'm getting Banjo and Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts vibes.
 
Michel Ancel posted on Instergram last year hinting at it being a prequel if the little baby pig is actually Pey'j that's pretty cool.

- Thanks #ubisoft for making this possible !

So, it's been a long time, but didn't BG&E sell best on Gamecube? Being similar to Zelda and whatnot.

While, I don't think the exclusive thing would be true (does Nintendo even pay for limited exclusivity?) it's not impossible for it to come to Switch.
 
Like Mother 3 coming to the Weat, Zelda being delayed, Mario and Splatoon at launch, Mario Kart 8 deluxe having new tracks and the switch event leak being fake.

Mother 3 may still come west

I've not ever seen her say anything about mk8d having new tracks.

The launch line up for switch was the only thing she was accurate on, so that's 1 bad piece of info in a sea of good info + info we can't say is true or false
 
I believe the Switch exclusive deal, otherwise they'd have an ending screen with the platforms. Well, it's that or Sony, because both still have a conference coming and that's the only reason why they would keep schtum on it.

But we've heard no rumors about Sony, and I'm sure the Mario x Rabbids game signifies something.
 
>As you rise from lowly pirate to legendary captain, you’ll traverse System 3 at light speed to explore freely on your own or with friends. Presenting its solar system as a massive, seamless online environment, Beyond Good and Evil 2 gives players the chance to dive into the foundations of the franchise’s universe while traveling between diverse planets and moons in search of adventure.

Defo had a Guardians of the Galaxy inspired feel to the trailer but I really don't think they should have announced this again in just CG form. That was a big no no from me after last time. Getting people's hopes up again when right not itsfuckingnothing.gif
 
I swear (lol) they said build it with them, is this gonna be like an online world builder or something?

More than anything, the trailer reminded me of Prey 2
