Ubisoft reveals the timeline of Beyond Good and Evil 2, which will be set after the birth of Jade, but before the first game.
This year promises to be a big year for gaming, and it will definitely be one of the greatest if any of these big MIA projects finally made it into gamers' hands.
Pretty sure Silk Song and Dragon Age are going smoothly. The other 2 can be assumed to be quietly cancelled knowing their publishers and Metroid will most likely be shown off this year.
I remember in 2017 when Nintendo showed off the Metroid Prime 4 logo, and some Nintendo defenders claimed "Just because they only showed a logo, doesn't mean that's all they've worked on for the game."
As history has proven, they were wrong. Nintendo showed off a logo back in 2017 because that's literally all they had.
I think Beyond Good and Evil 2 can stay there unless they are going to just rename it to a new IP
Pretty sure BG&E2 is dead at this point - along with the other game Ancel was working on before he left - I think it was called WILD. Anyone remember that from a PS conference years ago?
Dreadwolf isn't in development hell anymore and is finally getting its reveal in the summer - since 2016 the game has been scrapped and restarted three times but its been going pretty well since the last reboot when EA finally allowed BioWare to just get on with making a single player game.
I'm not sure Perfect Dark is in development hell either - like it could be but we haven't really heard much to suggest either way - imo they just showed the trailer off when the game was still in pre-production. Xbox were desperate for anything and this is all they had at the time. And the reason we haven't heard anything since is just because it's in normal development and games take 5 years to make. The help from a support studio was typically overblown on N4G because nearly every game has this.
Ubisoft's action-adventure even beats Duke Nukem Forever which previously was the title with the longest wait between a game being first announced and it actually being released.
I understand that the original game is held in high esteem by some passionate fans. I tried to get into it on several occasions and I just lost interest after a few hours of gameplay.
Cancel it or change the name for all I care. This isn't the Beyond Good & Evil I fell in love with.
How hard is it to make a game like the original? Nobody wanted anything different and these idiots just insist on trying to make something completely unrelated AND they don’t even know what to make! So, yea, here we go with the delays. Ubisoft can be such an obnoxious publisher/developer.
I'm more worried about how fast that time went i still remember it being announced there is no way that was that many years ago NO WAY!
Although Beyond Good and Evil 2 has had its problems, it has officially been confirmed by Ubisoft that it is still in active development.
Looks like an awesome game, but it has nothing too do with BGE1, or anything to do with what fans wanted.
If it would have been a SP action-adventure game like the first one, I would have been excited.
All this game needed to be was a simple sequel to Beyond Good and Evil. This is just a completely different game with the Beyond Good and Evil name slapped on it. Like, taking it on its own merits, it looks good, but we would have had BGE2 a long time ago if they've just exercised a bit of constraint and discipline and made a faithful follow-up to the original game. I understand the desire to make a super-ambitious, enormous game, but why not do that some other time? Why does BGE2 have to be that game? The original BGE is really good despite not being a massive open-world, sandbox, action RPG.
Personally, I think this is just the game that Ancel and co. want to make, and they don't really give a hoot about BGE anymore. However, selling a new series would be harder than just pasting the name Beyond Good and Evil on what they've made and putting animal people in it. It's a bit cynical to think that people will fall for that. I mean, the game looks good anyway - it doesn't need the BGE name for people to be interested in it. And, if you don't give a sh!t about BGE anymore, just come out and say it.
Also, we still probably have like 3 years to wait before they actually finish developing this game. It's just silly really. I mean, just make a sequel to BGE. Is that really so much to ask?
I know people were looking for a direct sequel but I'm willing to give it a chance. Hopefully they can recapture the magic of the first one.
The CGI trailer they showed at E3 was amazing, and the character-design and world-building for this game blows me away.
No idea how the game will turn out: great, mediocre, poor. I have no idea, and no way of knowing cause we haven't really seen any gameplay yet.
But the art and vision behind it all, is fantastic.
Beyond Good and Evil 2 - now with more diversity and inclusion.
Dang it I just wanted another game with Jade
