chronic lumbago Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Finally. The highly anticipated sequel to a great adventure game is coming soon. After countless delays, cancelation rumors and lost hope, the beloved franchise is still alive after all. If you haven't played the first: basically this is Half Life 3 for us. And it's more ambitious than anyone could've guessed it seems. Cinematic trailer: Prototype demo (highly recommended to watch): While the first game was a semi-linear adventure game with many interesting mechanics, good story, great lore and incredible charm, this game seems to take everything to a next level. Exploration seems to be No Mans Sky like, but every planet is carefully crafted and not randomized. They aim to make the world feel alive and dynamic with meteor storms and planet physics. There's not enough information yet though. The engine is unbelievably ambitious. Other exploration games mostly focus on the exploration itself first, with a little story to it or no story at all. I hope the story and charm of the first game will be present here as well. Z i X, Maxxeine, Ivan1997GTA and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadx23 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I was thinking of making a thread yesterday but I really didn't know how to word it properly with the info that is available This looks like an amazing game I seen the developer explained it and loving how it looks,the monkey reminds me of John leguiszamo for some reason so I will be looking out for this game for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chronic lumbago Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Now I feel bad for never finishing the first.Meaning you never played or didn't finish the whole game? Anyone remember the final bossfight? I was stuck on it for weeks and yet I tried over and over again almost every day but I couldn't give up. It was so satisfying to finally finish it. During the final stage, the boss brainwashed you or something and the controlls turned literally upside down. Not only that. You had to act very fast and memorize the enemy's movement. Forget dark souls, that thing was the ultimate challenge Thinking of another playthrough. I have the HD edition on my 360.

OnceAgainYoungFitzpatrick Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Holy crap, that monkey in the trailer was so incredibly annoying. His dialogue, his voice, the excessive use of "f*ck", etc. The concept seems really interesting, but if the dialogue is going to be that childish and poorly written and if I have to deal with the monkey the entire game, I'm simply not getting this game.

Jason Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The gameplay/prototype demo is pretty impressive. There's some big claims with gameplay mechanics (the whole taking pictures and taking them to NPC's to start discussions/quests etc) but from a technical point of view, it's pretty nifty. Can't fault the ambition, it'll be veeeeeery impressive if they can pull it all off. I just hope Vivendi's eventual takeover doesn't hack down their ambition and goals with the game, or can it altogether. This is the type of stuff Ubi should be doing.

I think he's kinda goofy but also cool at the same time. The voice acting IMO is great. Remember that BGE1 was a 12+ game so using swears is new to the franchise. Taking a bit more mature direction will suit the game well. If he'll be saying motherf*cker all the time, then I'm not sure though. No need to overdo it. Perhaps they wanted to show it off in the trailer to let us see the more mature direction. Still, that monkey seems very charming IMO and I hope we will get a very, very characteristic main cast. From what I understood, we will be able to choose the characters we want to play with on the ship. In BGE1, we had Jade as the main along with two other companions that switched midgame. The character writing was through the roof; it focused on a handful if characters. I hope that having a large main cast won't hurt the story.

Static Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Weird to see them so open about discussing this game even though it seems to be years away still. Gives them enough time to downgrade the f*ck out of it and implement their "tried & true" design of open world with repeatable/identical side activities ad nauseam.

chronic lumbago Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) They announced it way too early. It's nice that they want to keep in close touch with the community during development. Right now, I have a hard time figuring out what they're creating here. It looks more like a new IP to me. Still too early to say anything at all. I just hope the atmosphere and feeling of the first game will remain and that it won't feel too alienated in the end product if you know what I mean. If there is no PeyJ in the game.. I'm going to cry. Looks more like it's gonna be a PS5 and Xboxonexonex release to me. Edit Journey to System 3, for the prequel to one of Ubisofts most beloved games! Fight alongside unforgettable characters in a stunning new solar system, as you struggle for freedom and the right to determine your own fate among the stars. Play the adventure by yourself or with friends in a vast and seamless online playground. Beyond Good and Evil 2 is the spiritual successor to the cult classic, a prequel that will transport players into a profoundly multicultural world, capturing the spirit of the original with grandiose decors and intense dramas that play out across a vast universe. Through the Space Monkey Program, Ubisoft Montpellier will be developing the game alongside its community of fans. System 3 has become the center of interstellar trade and colonization in the Milky Way of the 24th century, thanks to the creation of Hybrid slaves. While private enterprises fight over resources and power, the first colonists weave together the rich and diverse spiritual and cultural heritages of Old Earth to give meaning to their existence. In this new era of piracy, we will rise from lowly pirate to legendary captain at the helm of massive star-faring vessels, adventuring alongside crews of colorful characters to fight for freedom and the right to determine our own fate among the stars! Online playground shouldn't be the focus here. Edited December 7, 2017 by fashion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Yea I still have no idea what type of game it is. MMO? Single player? Co-op? Is it story driven, or more freeform? That's the downsides of talking about a game that's still in it's "conception" phase. Looks impressive nevertheless, but looking impressive has always been one of Ubisoft's strengths.

Commander S Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Anyone else seen this? Specifically, the WIP character creator, shown at 34:46 - wow. Like with everything else about the game, it all looks ridiculously ambitious, but having gender, physique, and even species all incorporated into the one blend-able model? Again, wow - the nearest I can think of is Saints Row 2, where there's just the one character model for player characters (and most NPCs), which can be tweaked to create anyone you like (rather than what the later games did, where there are separate male/female body types, and you can just yank their build around). If that's what they go with, then it'll allow for a lot more body type variety beyond the standard 'ripped beefcake dude' and 'houglassy swimsuit model' approach - and that's before toying with the precise blend of chimpanzee and SHARK (!!! ) you want for your character. (granted, at this stage it might just be a tool for them to create any manner of NPCs, and they'll have a more rigid/traditional character creation system - here's hoping, though!) Frankly, I almost don't care if this thing comes out, and it's another largely context-free assortment of cool ideas that don't really amount to anything beyond being neat tech (looking at you, No Man's Sky! ) - even if all you can do is create a cool spliced captain, customise a bunch of modular ships, fly around a bit, and go sightseeing around a handful of interesting locations (which are all things we've seen so far), I'd still be game to give just that a go. And I'm reasonably confident that it will indeed amount to more than just that, considering how seriously Ubi seems to be taking the whole thing.

Commander S Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Highlights from yesterday's WIP gameplay preview stream: Full stream here: I'm still not sure if this will be the sequel fans of the original want - and while it's all looking perfectly promising at the moment (IMO), the story could be disappointing, the core loops underwhelming and undercooked, a whole lot of features left underdeveloped, etc. But as before, I like the look of what I've seen so far - to the point where I'd probably get a kick out of playing a preview build like the above. If the stuff shown works just fine, then anything else is gravy for me - same with how the unfinished missions and weak storytelling of MGSV still don't detract from a really solid foundation of action/stealth gameplay loops.

Mister Pink Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Sorry for the bump and not to get anyone's hopes up, but remember this game? Apparently it's still in development. Ubisoft were hiring people as recently as late last year to work on this title. Beyond Good and Evil 2 Could Be Entering the Optimization and Bug Fixing Stage of Development (gamerant.com) Other media outlets suggest this title is dead.
