This is what happens when you post 50 news stories a day. The intern gets lazy and posts stories that have been confirmed by Ubisoft to be false and makes typos in the title and heading for gods sake.
Breaks my heart, for sure. I loved the first one. One of the better games I've ever played. I see some peepz here are saying there might be coming something else good out of this. For my part, the only GOOD thing that could happen is if the sequel is released like originally planed.

What do you mean, you "missed" BG&E? It's not that hard to find, and you can always get it on Steam. It's still just as good now.
tbh if Ancel isn't involved in the sequel I don't have high hopes for it. :(
Now, see, okay, this news story is bullshit. All it does is cite a glorified blog and a forum thread which itself references a google translation of a French website I have never heard of.
And now it turns out to have been false all along.
This is not a news story that should be posted on a respectable outlet like Giant Bomb.
This better be a load of horseshit, because I've been desperately waiting to play the sequel for years. Just put me out of my misery already...
" There goes what looked to be ubisofts only good game this gen "
UPDATE: According to a report about this matter from French gaming blog Gameblog.fr, French Ubisoft representatives and sources within Ubisoft Montpellier are saying these rumors are completely false.
nuh uh
" @RE_Player92 said:I'll have to agree with this too. I'm not happy about it but I may be overly sensitive to that sort of thing at the moment since a similar development fucked up a former favorite gaming site of mine by reducing all "news" to completely worthless yellow-press-style rambling without any substance [I'm talking about a German site called gamestar that's probably of no interest to most of you ;) ]."

BGE is an excellent game with one of my favorite Protagonists of all time but I could live with letting this universe rest. I was actually quite afraid of a continuation since I think there's a solid chance it'll be quite underwhelming for me.
Also: Duuude if you're "kicking yourself" for having missed it just fucking play the damn game and don't try to just please hardcore fans by making uninformed statements about it's worth. If i didn't happen to catch your interest that's ok too, sad as it is. I remember Jeff not being completely sold an some of its gameplay mechanics either (and making a good argument for it).
Well, with the site denying the rumors, this article's kind of useless now, other than its preview saying the lead developer may have left "the Ubisoft."
True or not, anything that puts Ubi in a negative light is great in my books. I hate that company on so many levels.
Christ, the internet is a gigantic place. How hard is it to find someone who speaks French to give you a proper translation, instead of using Google?
You guys do realize that Brad is an editor for Destructoid right? And not some "intern" or random dude. He is pretty much just assisting in actually putting some news on this site compared to the maybe 1 article a week at best that used to come up.
This community is a bunch of conceited self righteous idiots at times.
Normally, there's about 1 genuinely newsworthy thing happening a week during the summer. I never found myself clicking an article to make sure it was a none Nicholson article aka a "real" article before this clown showed up. I understand plenty of people like this high quantity badly written shit, and that's great, you can stay at Destructoid and soak up all the joke reviews and cheap poorly cited articles you want. That's not what GB is known for and it shouldn't be." You guys do realize that Brad is an editor for Destructoid right? And not some "intern" or random dude.

Glad to hear it's false. The guy leaving what is likely his only chance of ever getting the game released would be insane.
Looking forward to it reaching the market even though I never finished the first one. The characters have a lot of true depth, and I recall the game actually pulling off emotionally tender scenes. RARE in gaming.
