Maybe they can't announce it through proper channels for a reason or two.Did they just announce this via a Facebook-group?
Why.
Maybe they can't announce it through proper channels for a reason or two.
What about Wild? Is that on hold until BG&e2 releases?
someone should REALLY ask what platforms will this appear on.
if they say "we can't disclose that" or ignore the question, it's guaranteed to be related to NX
if they say "oh sure, here's the info: PS4 and X1, did people think about anything else?" then that's that
Did they just announce this via a Facebook-group?
Why.
Vivendi will surely cancel this when they take over the company
Why didn't they wait for PSX or NX reveal for a megaton announcement?
It's not like this is some remaster or low tier game like Senran Kagura or Danganronpa collection.
Basically what's left now is Valve confirming HL3 and Blizzard resurrecting Starcraft Ghost.
Yes! But why make the announcement this way?
Not precisely,Vivendi will surely cancel this when they take over the company
Isn't this official for like two days now? GAF getting slow...
Cause Ancel spilled the beans despite the fact that he wasn't supposed to. They had to address it.
Ubisoft are desperate for any good will they can get, I highly doubt they'll pull a Rise of the Tomb Raider.
That said, am I the only one who's pissed at Ubisoft over this? After all the years of teases and that fucking CG trailer, it took the threat of Vivendi buying them out to finally make them go "it's happening, guys!" Fuck that. It's been 13 years since the original came out, I'll care when it's in my hands, not while it's still in pre-production.
I see this game having enough trouble selling on all platforms. Nevermind just being on a Nintendo console.
No way they go exclusive unless they want it to fail.
Seemed like an obvious controlled leak to me, coming so soon after their last shareholder meeting.
Not really up to Ubisoft IF Nintendo co-funded it, like bayonetta 2.
Seems unlikely at this point. Really doubt we'd be hearing about the game in the capacity we are if it was exclusive.
I'd consider Ancel saying it was in pre-production two days ago official, but whatever. Happy that it's finally happening.
The only thing they basically said is "yes it's coming"; so I don't think that rules out anything.
We already have Dragon quests games and Just Dance announced for NX. So developers teasing us with their future products wouldn't be out of the question.
Another one?! I thought everyone hated the last sequel - Beyond 2: Souls
What makes you say that?
Yeah, I'm annoyed that the 2008 teaser trailer was a lie and seemingly the game was never in any kind of serious development. Taking a few links from Wikipedia:

To go with these announcements there was this teaser trailer which was uploaded on 28/05/2008
http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=58434 - "'Beyond Good & Evil 2' already 1.5 years into development" 19/12/2008
Then there was this 'test footage' (I believe) which was uploaded on 09/05/2009 (almost a whole year later). Doesn't look much like BG&E, but certainly looks like a product in active development. I believe this was when Ancel said the game was too ambitious for current hardware (PS3/Xbox 360) so might have to wait for Gen 8 hardware.

I won't write out everything, but you can see all the links here. There's 43 so far.
And a bonus one: Ubisoft saying we should buy Rayman Origins to help fund development of BG&E2

Honestly, the way they entire life of this game has been handled has been a complete clusterfuck and I won't believe it's real and happening until it's on store shelves.

Thar's some weird way to reveal the game, like Facebook post? Really?
