TRAILER AND SCREENS

http://www.gamersyde.com/stream_7321_en.html

The hi-res "realistic" textures don't suit Peyj IMO

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Ancel doesn't want to work for Ubi anymore, does he?

[Smoke39]

That pig man sucked a bug up his nose.  Ew. D;

[Deep-Six]

The trailer looks like its call CG so what system its on is completely up in the air it seems.  Seriously, if Ancel is going to just crop out Rabbid games every year  to fund this game and it doesn't end up on the Wii I hope it freaken Bombs again.  Seriously, It pisses me off when developers put out the small projects on Wii to fund the big project they're going to put the most effort into then I with the worst for them.  Its exactly what Rockstar has been doing and I'll be super pissed off it Such a brilliant guy like Mr. Ancel is following the trend.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Ancel doesn't crop out the Rabbid games.  The franchise was taken out of his control.  He's bitter over not making his Rayman adventures anymore.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

He'll be more bitter when BG&E becomes the next multi-million dollar flop.

That's news to me, was it revealed with info of that new Rabbid game?  Because from what I heard he loved making those mini-game collections.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

That's what I heard shortly before RRR2 was announced.

[Kairon]

Didn't Ancel say this was from the in-game engine?

Either way, I really DO believe that he's making a big mistake here. *shrug* Oh well. If it comes out on the Wii, I'll buy it. If it doesn't. I won't. In the meantime, I'll try to get further in the original.

Ubisoft is making a huge mistake if they don't release it on the Wii considering the Gamecube version of the original sold better then the Xbox version and was very close to the sales of the PS2 version last time I saw sales which were back in 2004.  The Wii this gen, not only has the Gamecubes userbase, but is gaining the PS2's userbase with each passing month as well.  This means the Wii contains BOTH userbases that made up the majority of the original Beyond Good and Evil's sales.

Unless Ubisoft is going to make this game a Shooter so it appeals to the 360/PS3's userbase, this game will bomb on those systems.  Of course considering how Ubisoft had no problem destroying the Prince of Persia series to try and make it appeal to a different audience last gen, I wouldn't be surprised if Ubisoft takes a sh!t all over this series as well in order to get better sales.

[GoldenPhoenix]

Luckily I have a 360 and PS3 so I can buy it, but that means I may have to beat the original and that is scary!

The more I think about it the more I just get enraged. Why are they going HD? Graphics won't solve ANY of the problems the first game experienced. The Wii userbase, with its open-minded and non-violence-friendly receptivity, on the other hand, will.

[ShyGuy]

What the PS360 offers is HD textures and lighting. What this means is instead of BG&E 2 looking like a cool Don Bluth film like the first game, it will be a creepy uncanny valley like that realistic Mario picture.

GOODNIGHT MICHELLE

[KDR_11k]

Yeah, because no artist could possibly make stylized art with relaxed technical constraints.

[ShyGuy]

Judging from the teaser trailer, Peyj has creepy realistic sweaty pig flesh. Then he snorts a fly up his nose.

[Smoke39]

I just found an old quote of Ancel that I had saved 'cause I liked it:

"The number of polygons does not make you laugh or cry."

I guess he changed his mind.

[blackfootsteps]

Combat and racing would have been awesome fun on Wii. But, these are the moments when I'm glad I've got a 360. I just hope it doesn't stray too far from the first game in terms of gameplay and the general world environment.

[Flames_of_chaos]

I don't know you guys but the art style in that trailer looks blah.

[Deep-Six]

I don't know you guys but the art style in that trailer looks blah.

It doesn't even look like an "Art Style" at all.  It looks like they're going for realism.  Well, as realistic as a human-pig can look.

Maybe he hasn't changed his mind. Maybe he's discovered that the number of polygons helps hardcore gamers fap. Maybe that's where they hope to make their sales.

Could be.  The first game got released in the shadow of Prince of Persia, and I'm sure the cartoony atmosphere turned alot of insecure gamers off.  Ancel may have been trying very hard to get Ubisoft to greenlight it by making it more appealing to a mass market.  He wants to get his baby made, and at any cost.

And it seems to have worked!

Oh sure, watching a hideously ugly pig-man suck bugs up his nose is totally fap-worthy.

I think that trailer has emotionally scarred me. );

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Prince of Persia flopped hard.  Not much a shadow there, but that holiday season was dominated by Mario Kart Double Dash on Kyuube.

Ubisoft reuse engines a lot, Prince of Persia for example ran off the Jade engine, which was named the Jade engine because it was developed for Beyond Good and Evil. This teaser, if it's real time which is possible, is probably running off the Scimitar engine, first used in Assassin's Creed. This is why it probably looks a little blah and bland.

Of course it could also have something to do with the fact that Hillys has completely dried up and is no longer the lush planet it was. Game about saving the environment? Awesome.
