Same thoughts when I first watched this!

I wonder if the artistic directors of PoP are involved in this?

Anyway, will be finally a good game Ubisoft will release after AC.

You noticed Jade being kinda wounded at the end of the movie, after her jump on the roof and a dash for the helicopter? For a second she was holding her arm and it really looked as if the leap affected her. Interesting.

One of the strong points of BG&E 1 is that it blended different game types together seamlessly, I imagine BG&E 2 will do the same.

I hope so. Ideally, chase sequences like this would be performed in the same environments as explorative sequences (unlike in the first part); and I still hope the "collecting"-aspect will be expanded in BG&E2, so you could actually take a lot of things with you in such a fascinating town.

I was thinking a lot about the style - still, it's actually a lot like the first game, with a bit of added realism. Hyllis was relatively well off financially - this town feels more like a slum. You only get very slight moments of "Oops, this is different than in my own world", I think that is the way to go.

I will miss Jade's huge green eyes, though.

Want a closeup of her face - so much depends on it.

The Camera seems very dynamic - still, it seems very glued to Jade's back. I was hoping for a PC version and mouse control for the point of view, let's see if my hopes will be fulfilled.

Again, thumbs up for this; if the game excells as much in its quiet moments as in this action sequence, this will be THE game without doubt.

I consider the video to be in-game graphics/ graphics of the playable sequences; still, there's a grain of salt. Only months ago, Ancel stated in an interview that they haven't yet chosen the technology with which they'd like to make the game. Now we've got something that looks like a finished game sequence. This is going to fast. It's obvious that we've just seen just a glimpse, and that MUCH is to be edited, changed, tuned down or up.

The fact that the movie is still online seems to imply that Ubisoft isn't much bothered with the release. Might even be part of a viral marketing campaign...

Fahrenheit FTW!

Dunno if you guys already know this, but I was checking the BG&E2 wiki, and noticed that the Engine part isn't empty anymore, it says LyN! o_O WTF is LyN? So I googled around, and it turned out to be the new Engine Ancel made, that he using to make that new Rabbids game, and it is said that it maximizes the capabilities of all the current gen and next gen consoles! And check this, including the Wii!

quote:

Yes, a brand new engine called LyN was created alongside Rabbids Go Home and will serve many forthcoming games. It is a revolutionary graphical engine thanks to its structure and technology that make it at once easy to use, effective and evolvable. With LyN, we can create games for both old-gen and next-gen consoles.

For the Wii in particular, the engine maximizes the capacity of the console by managing the totality of the graphical pipeline within the engine itself. The advantage of this engine compared with earlier generations is its capacity to optimize graphical resources without limiting the imaginations of the teams of artists and designers who use it. RGH is the first game out of an Ubisoft studio to benefit from this technology

So, now, I think the leaked footage we saw is actual gameplay Have you seen that new Rabbids game footage! Damn! If the engine can do that on the Wii who it will do on the PS360?!! F**K! Now I seriously can't wait for E3!!!!!!

Don't ask me for the source, cuz I got this from many ones!

Here's one

Actually, where's that rabbids game footage you're talking about? I know there's a teaser trailer, and there are some screenshots, but there is no in-game footage as far as I know...

That BG&E2 was going to use the LyN engine was already announced quite a long time ago.

And of course that new BG&E2 footage is in-engine. The shadows revealed that in the video... :P
Still, is it gameplay? I guess we'll have to wait until E3...

Not only familiar, exactly the same. Probably nicked from the original game, I don't think they have come to the point of doing voice overs just yet.

Hi, it's my first post here

I love BG&E and the video is awesome but did you noticed the indian flag painted on the chopper? How is India connected to BG&E?
I think the video is a tech demo for a new engine from Ubi. It is not supposed for the public but for a producer to give a green light for a new project. The girl is definitely Jade but that dos not mean anything.

Yeab, that's how they've done in the KB-demo(sound files from WW), so I can say assured that heÄs right.

? I'm not sure what your trying to say, but it's already been established that BG&E 2 is in pre-production,(Ancel comfirmed it in a press conference). Why would they show 'Chapter 1 - The Pig -' if it wasn't given the green light.

The thing you need to remember that there has never been an official word from Ubisoft confirming BG&E2, which confused us more than ever after the clip at Ubidays was shown.

BG&E2 is coming - when is unknown, but it is coming.


.........

I mean it's a proof of concept for another game. They are only using jade's skin!

Stylistically, it looks to me a lot like the rooftop chase scene in the first game. In that scene, it's actually quite easy from a gameplay perspective, and it's mostly just for cinematic effect.

I can believe that it's actual gameplay. It has the same "feel" as the first game. Whether this scene will be present in the final release is yet to be seen, but it very well could be.

That's definitely not true. You didn't even look at the helicopters, did you? They're definitely made in the same style as the ones from BG&E1.

And why would they use Jade's skin and voice for a proof of concept for another game? If they have made all the other models ( very detailed town, people, helicopters, etc. ), then they could easily have made their own character model, right?

And if this is gameplay, then WOW.
It looks doable for a gameplay part, but I think this is an in-engine proof of concept. It still looks totally awesome though.

I cant believe I actually seing this Though I heard rumors it could be a fan project. If it is its very convincing.

I hope your right. The vehicles and atmosphere is very different from the 1st game and I dont remember anyone using bullets in the last game. It does look like she's in India. Why would Jade be in India? It would be radical change from the 1st game

I can see why they wouldn't officially release stuff like this. Its not a good 1st impression for people who likes more stylised games like the 1st one. Still it may not be real or it could be preliminary work.

True, but this game will probably have multiple planets, so not only Earth, but also the more styled planets like Hyllis.

Also, please edit your posts instead of posting a second one. :P

Did no-one see the cow with camel humps? A typical BG&E animal to shoot don't you think?

Yeah, I thought so too, but apparently it exists. It looks like an ox.

Style issues are obviously fit for heated debates with this video. Some people really hate that "new" look, while others, including myself, think of it as a necessary but ingenious real-life-adaption of the old style.

Without doubt, the game is much less than 10% finished, and incredibly much will be different in the final game. Nonetheless, I consider the direction clear from this snippet, which I naively still think of as in-game graphics.

I'm really looking forward to seing more of the envisioned style. And to first official desktop wallpapers of Jade & the city.

You spoke my mind

@Bar: I actually was talking about the screens, the amount of details in them is something I've never seen in a Wii game.. And nobody mentioned the engine part before In this forum I mean.. Annd, I know it is in engine, I was saying that I think it IS gameplay

I think this will be the case with the game, at least I hope it is..

Especially the bold part

Has anyone noticed in that footage in the end of it when Jade jumps to the chopper that there is someone else standing on top of it? I think it's not hers and she stole it to run away o_O

One more thing, I really hope I'm wrong, but I fear that this footage is Chapter 2 teaser "Jade" and it's all we're getting this year And seeing the pattern ubi releases their BIG games, and how the game is getting along, we'll be getting this one Holliday '10 (Nov/Dec 2010)

I so hope not I really hope we get some information too

While I have said that we've waited 4-5 years so far for a sequel, having been ultra patient.

But then to have to wait ANOTHER year with only footage would suck

Having to deal with the aftermath of 'Chapter 1 - The Pig -' last year was hard to stomach, but I remained optimistic we'd get some news this year.

If a repeat of last year happens, I'll be very annoyed
