>announced 18 years agoThis has to be the worst dev hell of all time right? Not even Duke Nukem was this bad
>>747654781It's baffling because what they descibed the game as really doesn't seem too difficult to make.
>>747654781first one isnt even that great
>>747654781It's literally the oldest big unreleased game. The only other competitor for this would be Half Life 3 but it never even got announced (or worked on)
>>747654912If I remember correctly they wanted the entire game to be something like No Man's Sky with complete planets you could explore and just fly to and from, but with giant cities and npcs and all that kinda shit. Like GTA but you can just fly into space and go to the next planet overIn other words the game is too ambitious and it's probably fucked them over
>>747655140agreed, i tried it recently and I don't get what the hype is all about

Like GTA but you can just fly into space and go to the next planet overYou remember correctly. It was such a bizarre direction to take for a sequel to a game that was just a really tightly designed action/adventure/platformer that was charming as fuck with some fun photography mechanics.I swear devs are their own worst enemies and success ruins them all.
>>747654781No way it's not canceled in one way or another. Ubisoft has rotating dev teams, at least for Half Life 3 you could argue Valve is still Valve
>>747656309You had interplanetary flight in the original game too, what are you talking about?
>>747654781This trailer was 'edgy fan-art where Mario has a gun and the Goomba is bleeding from a head-shot' levels of different compared to the first game, which was a silly, Saturday morning cartoon feeling exploration of corrupted power for children to explore with warm and loveable characters, presented with an air of mystery and danger. It was possibly outright cool to a child, but goofy and likeable as an older player. I have no idea how the concept of a sequel to Beyond Good and Evil ever amounted to this picture, which does not resemble the core ideas of the original in any way except for there being humans and an anthropomorphic animal sharing the same space. The idea that they must be rebels fighting against corruption only comes with context, and not from the image itself. It looks gritty and dull. The characters do not look warm and likeable, but smug and obnoxious. The man looks completely unapproachable. There's no stylized cartoon aesthetic, no sense of mystery, and absolutely no sense of the warmth of family and community that Jade was fighting for, which was a big part of the original game, you really cared about who Jade was fighting to protect. It just blows the mind how OP's image came from that. I don't know what in the fucking world happened during conceptualization and production, what went so wrong. This looks like any other forgettable, uninspired shooter game just slapped into what is supposedly the universe of Beyond Good and Evil. Extra bizarre that a game made up of characters you cared about and which ended on a cliffhanger would do this, to just give you brand new characters.

>>747654912No way, they showed what the game actually looked like and it put Star Citizen's promises to shame. Literally Overambitious: The Game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldqiTV6AvE8
>>747654781For it to be in dev hell they have to still be working on it in some capacity. This thing has been dead for years.Honestly it's probably for the best considering modern ubisoft.
>>747658604Aww yeh, inject that nostalgia straight into my veins

>>747656525i have a friend who works at ubi and she said that it's not canceled (but it's basically canceled)
>>747654781I don't really want to see a game about black monkeys anyway.
>>747658887They have an entire studio in Montpellier working on this, with an engine team, etc.
>>747658887They cancelled a bunch of other shit earlier this year including the Prince of Persia remake, it's safe to say that they're still working on this if they didn't explicitly cancel it
>>747656078I remember being super hupe and super disappointed.. its a normalfag game
>>747654781And nothing of value was lost. Beyond Good And Evil was shit and what kids these days call woke, it literally had aliens walking around in hijabs.
>>747658887The trailer they showed 10 years ago was fucking insane, like real star citizen type shit. Flying into planet atmospheres and jet packing around, that footage is ridiculous and the promises they made are unfulfillable. They may as well market the game as a matrix program you brain jack into.
>>747654781Back when being black was okay...
>>747654781They'll never deliver anything of any significance.I do see zoomies shitting on the original, but when the game came out it did stand out with its artstyle and pretty ambitious storyline. Uncovering the truth about the ZOG was pretty great, and the lesson on the importance of good journalism was fantastic.That being said, the teaser after the end of the first one, and this weird prequel have nothing in common. I have literally 0 hope it's going to turn out righthttps://youtu.be/fxKBCLPP20s?si=5nYFmOpNho4uOCAE
>>747664164the sequel really just seemed like a way for Ancel to do what he wanted while still getting a budget for it, as though he's making it a sequel just so it can be greenlit thanks to name recognition. which is funny because he's retired now and has left this mess for everyone else to clean up
