Red Bull Games Australia takes an in-depth look at Beyond Good and Evil 2 from a behind closed doors session at this year's E3 and throws in some comparison to another major space title full of similar ambition in Star Citizen and writes:
"There’s an impressive video that was released a while ago showcasing the true geometry and real-time finesse required to understand, and master, Star Citizen, of a planetside entry, ship-landing and then third-person exit into a fully populated interior. And there’s no question this was an impressive display of raw design and technology. But the content we saw behind closed doors at this year’s E3 for Beyond Good and Evil 2 easily trumped that. Largely because Beyond Good and Evil 2 isn’t taking its space-faring overly seriously. Theirs is an action-RPG sci-fi future where rules can be written on-the-fly to accommodate artistic vision and fun gameplay..."
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.
Dragon Age going smoothly??? Directors leaving, people leaving in general, terrible working conditions....not sure how you define smoothly.
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.
Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition first details and screenshots revealed following the original leak.
Awesome. I love this game
Now people can give it a try if they haven't, hopefully finish it and see how much Ubisoft is butchering the sequel with whatever "thing" they've produced that clearly isn't a true sequel.
No worries. That Sequel will never see the light of day. The second they brought "almost Robin" out and talked about that lame joke collab they were doing I knew it was dead.
Personally I'm excited for the 40th Anniversary Edition which will have an Extras Menu with an "all new" trailer for BGE2 coming soon!
The unannounced title has been classified for PC and consoles…
Tell me about it
All this Anniversary edition will do it reignite love for the first game and make people question why we didn’t get a straight forward sequel
What we are getting…that shit is not Beyond Good and Evil
Most folks lost all their interest in the sequel when they (Ubi) announced their weird plans for it.
Will it be a straight up port or some actual improvements will be made for 20th anniversary
There's a distinct difference. One is created by a professional studio with a long track record of successful games, and who know the limitations of current technology. The other is created by a newbie studio led by a 90s relic who is trying to sell the dream "everything" game, without any concept of what's possible and what's not. You can guess which one will actually get finished and released.
lol, no.
Ohhh gawd how did you make the comparison?
Don't know about that, but it's not a scam, and will most likely get finished. So it has a leg up there.
Well I mean, there's a line between Ambition (the former) and being a Scam (the latter).
*Clears throat* I can also do "everything." Proof you say? Ha! I'll give you proof in small increments over the course of your lifespan. Now, for the small price of a few hundred thousand dollars, you can gain access to everything of my everything, in the everything space! And don't you dare say I'm not ambitious, for I am - ambitious for your money.
