Beyond Good & Evil 2 Video Looks Questionable, Incredible

Was that an updated "Nutripills " brand logo on the blue billboard at the very beginning of the video?

looks very cool. anyone know how to get BG&E to run on xp64?

That's India.
That's goddamned India.

The chopper has the colours of the Indian flag on it's wings.
Cows.
Autorickshaws.
The music.
The clothes.

Impressive

So nice.

I'm Loving the setting that both the trailer from Ubidays 08 and this have. Can't wait for this!

looks awesome, just gotta play the first game now.

The documentary style camera shake would be a bit too distracting if it was actual gameplay, imo.  Frame rate and smoothness is way too high to be actual product.  I see this video as possibly showing general gameplay concepts, and what I see is very exciting.  Will the game actually look like that?  Highly doubtful.

Didn't everyone learn their lesson from the Killzone 2 demo back in 2005?  Of course it's pre-rendered.  Even if it was working in-engine, the character's movements are clearly scripted.

Hope the game looks like that

That is so totally not in-game. The camera work and video on a whole just looks too good.

If they kept the camera shake I wouldn't be opposed to it. Definitely adds to the frantic feel of being chased by superior numbers.

The documentary style camera shake is way excessive.

hmm...  looks great~  but i recall.. the first Beyond Good & Evil's very futureistic or something...?  maybe i'm wrong...

You heard it here first, folks! BG&E 2 takes place in Calcutta!

Yeah, Killzone 2 trailer anyone?  No way that's game footage, but still, it looks cool as a design direction.

Too smooth to be true... yes.

Assassin's Creed + Mirror's Edge = Win.

It looks like a Mirror's Edge third-person mod with BG&E skins.

MIRROR'S EDGE 2: Rural Runner

The animations are really smooth.
Going to be great :D

I so hope this is true. I want more BG&E!

I mean I guess they could be using a prototype version of the engine in BG&E2 and then use a better version of a bigger franchise but its a dream that this is in-game, this video has to be CG concept. I would however see the use of testing a new engine out on a slightly more niche title. Whatever stage of development thjis video is from i still can't wait for BG&E2 if its anything like the first was at the time it came out.

Yeah, this is all doable graphically, but the camera is light years beyond anything we've seen so far, which makes me doubt that that part is real.  It's TOO aware of the environment.  If anyone can do it though, it would be Montreal.

The camera definitely gives it away; as good as it looks no one would want to/be able to play a game in which the camera bounced around like that, and Ancel wouldn't be stupid enough to create one. Would be nice if the game switched pretty seamlessly between interactive and non-interactive sections, though...

I doubt it's actually gameplay, I know, I'm bringing a new thought to the table with that one. Either way, I absolutely LOVED the first one so this will be a day one purchase for me.

Agree with previous commentators - can't be in game footage, surely, but as a concept, it's exciting.

+ 2 cents
It looks in-engine, but probably some sort of cutscene.
Who else would wear cargo pants, have short black hair, carry a pole on her back and be running away from authority...IT'S JADE FOR SURE! XD.

dude art...don't let this be another Killzone 2 moment! The camera movement and movement of the charcter is way to fluid to be actual gameplay yes Killzone 2 was great looking and Assassins Creed was very fluid but theres just a look to pre-rendered stuff you gotta have a trained eye, but of course it would be cool is the final game looked like that or even close to take but please no one get pissed if it doesn't!

It is Jade, but is it pre-rendered? Or is it the actual game? It looks hot either way, as long the final game gets close to this, I'm happy.

Oh man that looks awesome... Mind blown.
Really looking forward to BG&E 2. Footage or not.

Holy crap, now that looks good.

If that's the game, and that's a big "if," we can all start shitting inside our pants now.

woah, first thing i thought was mirror's edge.

Can someone confirm the lack of green lipstick in the trailer?  I can't say I saw any.

It feels as if a game company actually decided to do a game that lives up to its full potential. Such a thing might have only happened twice. In LittleBIGPlanet (in its own way) and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. But to bring this concept to the action/shooter genre is one of those things I have been waiting for a long time.

i kinda doubt that this is actual gameplay footage. i mean the graphics and the animations, not to mention the camera movements, would just be mind blowing if they were of that quality in-game. that said, i really hope that this is in-game.

Man how dumb are you kid?  The first BG@E has nothing to do with what we are looking at here.  You must have been referring to yourself when you mentioned stupid people in here.

This gameplay footage of BG@E 2 looks just like Assassins Creed.  The animations look very similar.

Yeah the thing that makes me think it's not gameplay at this point is the camera. For it to move with that much fluidity, it would have to predict the player's movements a LOT, and if it did, I have a feeling it woulnd't work too well and would end up being more of an annoyance than a selling point

Id say this could be gamaplay with some camera shake added afterwards. GTA4 and Assains creed both prove that this kind of technology could already exist.

Or it could be CG, but in that case its definately made to look like gameplay which means that they are just trying to start some buzz about the game and that would also be kinda understandable.

Im stoked either way.

Beyond Mirror's Edge 2?

I think this might be real. There is definitely an HUD missing and the camera shouldn't be able to pan like that, but the controls and animations are similar to Assassin's Creed, and they just have added further polish to that beautiful system. I am stoked.

I'm so glad they are doing a sequal. I loved the first one so much. It was like platforming + stealth + mild role playing elements, combined into one unique package.

Clearly not Gameplay, this is a good as nothing, it's just a rendered sequence...

I reckon: fake, it's way too smooth. I loved the first BG&E, I hope this one comes out alright.

I hope this is gameplay but, it looks like this is all running in real time.  Looks awesome.

Hmm, something about the camera especially seemed odd to me. I could buy that being a QTE but not actual gameplay.

that cant be real, everything was just too fluid

Yep. That's just showing what it can do, I find it to be nothing more than that.

This may not be in game footage, but it does get me very excited for BG&E 2 .
