Beyond Good & Evil 2 could have been E3 2017’s Game of the Show based on its reveal trailer alone, but everything outside of that has been a little bit murky, hasn’t it? Ubisoft Montpellier’s long-awaited sequel hasn’t exactly been detailed in the most effective manner, with talk of a “seamless open world” and some kind of early access, but no real clarification of what any of this means and what type of game the follow-up actually is.
The good news is that the “Space Monkey Program” – whatever that will comprise – will extend to the PlayStation 4 apparently, as it’s listed as one of the platforms when you sign up to participate. The site claims that those accepted will be able “to crash test all of the creative and gameplay elements that make up our game world”. But what are these gameplay elements? And what exactly is the title? This, folks, is how you squander a Game of the Show award.

Typical Ubisoft. At least AC: Origins seems cool.
This is good but I'd be lying if I didn't say that I was kind of hoping it was a Switch exclusive just to see the outrage. That would've been amazing 😣
I remember my friends loving the original on PS2/GC and I remember playing some of it with them. Might dust this off and play the HD remaster when my PS3 arrives.
I think it is great that Ubisoft are returning to it and even I felt hyped in a nostalgic kinda way but that seamless open world and something about online had me worried that this was another online experience. Still, I will reserve final judgement.
Ubi's talk of the online aspect of the game has me nervous.
@BubbleButt no switch doesn't make sense making it exclusive.ps4 is way better.
Yeesh... If I was a fan of the original I'd be feeling all kinds of scepticism, trepidation, and irritation directed at Ubisoft. This seems like the wrong move for fans of the first game... It sounds like they're... I dunno, Assassin's Creed-itizing this game.
Why?
@Deadlyblack yeah is this game online.doesn't make any sense
Also (off topic) the ads for making your foot fungus disappear are really gross and same for that ear wax one! I want to keep ads on the site on, but those ads have been there for weeks and are really very gross...
It makes sense in the context of the games Ubisoft make. You may have noticed all of their titles are virtually the same these days.
@Constable_What Yeah, we're looking into getting rid of those. Obviously we don't have full control over what's shown, but ideally we want both of those gone.
I got very salty for the teaser, because despite loving the original it's pretty obvious that this isn't the sequel I wanted or that the original teaser hinted at. It seems Ubi have created some sort of Destiny-lite game with the universe. I'm torn.
Also gosh, all those naughty swears in the trailer.
@get2sammyb Thank you!
@Cassetticons I know what you mean. Although in fairness, it's way, way too earlier to tell how the game's going to play out. But all that swearing, though?? Hey, it's a prequel, so maybe the final segment of the game features a galaxy wide law being passed that prohibits profanity, hence why it was nowhere to be seen or heard in the original Beyond Good & Evil (er, hello, Ubisoft?), a game full to the brim with charm and charisma (Ubisoft?...coo-ee!) 😉
Not sure how you can say a game like this deserves the Game of the Show Award when we don't even have the slightest idea how it'll play. Heck, we don't even know what genre it'll be.
Would you base your decision solely on a CGI trailer that might have nothing to do with the game? Ok, it looked insanely good, but we all know the game won't have that kind of graphical fidelity.
Oh, and it was soooooooooooo cringy. What with all the unnecessary badassery? What with all the unnecessary swearing? I mean, it's just trying way too hard to be "cool" for the sake of it. Of course it all comes down to personal taste, but this is something I hate soooooo much, when games, movies or anything shoehorn profanity and such just to look "cool" and "mature", when it's really quite the opposite.
Other than that, I sure hope it'll end up being a great game. Looking forward to finding out details about gameplay.
I signed up and it mentioned access to the beta whenever that'll be, the trailer was great but I don't much care until I see gameplay.
I coudlnt' make it my Game of the Show b/c I already saw a trailer for Beyond Good & Evil 2 in 2008. Same name, slightly different game apparently, but that was 9 years ago. So how long do we have to wait for this game to actually release, another 9 years?

And then there was this leaked gameplay in 2009

So, basically, Ubi, call me when it's done. And you know what it is enough to explain it properly. After the online multiplayer of No Man's Sky I'm kind if in a seeing is believing mood for this sort of thing.

@get2sammyb Can we please change the advert to gaming one, I'm more likely to click and buy some game from the ads compared to clicking "The 25 Worst Tourist Photos. #3 Will Make You Laugh", or "Take a Deep Breath Before Seeing Her Transformation"
@waluigifan1 It will be on ps4, xbox1 and pc.
