Edgy nowadays is basically a term for "I don't like it".

There's an entire universe out there besides Hyllis, the planet where the first games takes place on.
I'm assuming it'll be based around various alphas and early access type stuff.
Kind of odd, I'm not sure I love design by committee, even if fans are the ones in it.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Its funny that the official press release says its a "spiritual successor" to Beyond Good and Evil. Its obviously a complete reboot of the series. Its hard to judge without seeing gameplay, but the first was decent, so it has potential.
Devil May Cry 3
I don't mind new characters, but I can understand why people would want closure after the cliffhanger ending of BGE1. Perhaps provide closure via a new perspective from new characters?
Maybe there'll be time travel or something with this game. But the characters on the website and in the video were really cool and I'd rather have new stuff than the same characters who already had their arcs (somewhat) finished last game.

This looks more like R-rated Guardians of the Galaxy than BG&E2 but who am I to say what the franchise becomes? Ancel is involved so I'll put my faith in him.

Also worth noting that Ancel originally wanted BG&E 1 to have multiple worlds that you could fly between, so this looks like it might accomplish that.

While it is an awesome trailer it has nothing to do with the game (since no game play).
And I am not sure what to make of that online seamless world. This is not an IP to challenge Destiny. It will sell at best 2 million copies, probably much less.
I just want a good single player experience with a good story.

Following Megaman Legends 3 model...that went well.
Come on, you know what game I'm talking about.
Started from being excited, to being puzzled, than excited again, but eventually disappointed. Seems like they are not sure what they actually want to do, hence all this space monkey program.
And the monkey swearing is just not acceptable, does not fit the charm of BGE at all, and it saddens me the most. Remembering the old trailers with Jade and Pay'J makes it even harder to bear
Quo vadis, Michel ?

Dark Souls is an online seamless world, AND a single player game. It's not like BGE2 is gonna be some deathmatch shooter, lol.

Honestly, I don't know. And now I'm curious. What game are you referring to?
The fact it's Ubisoft is enough to ring alarm bells but we'll see

Should have stayed dead. Not resurrected into whatever the hell this is.
Honestly hated it.
Yet another CGI trailer for BG&E2 a decade after the last one...i wonder if anything is actual going to come of it this time? At least the first cgi trailer on PS3 has a style that was actually faithful to the first game. This is like some hyper real, grim dark version of the IP with swearing for the sake of swearing.
Nice cgi
Horrible style
Obnoxious chimp character
And even if i did like it, it's what? 3 years away at least? The team isnt exactly big is it? And he has to balance his time between this and WILD. Lol. I wouldnt be surprised if this is just a re-run of last time and in 10 years we still have no sequel.
My only hope at this point is that the cgi trailer isn't even remotely indicative of the game we may or may not end up getting. Also, get pey'j and jade back. They're kind of integral to the whole thong.

I trust Ancel. To see him tearing up on stage gives me more faith than anything.
Yeah, I'm skeptical, but Ancel is one of the best game designers alive in my opinion, I trust him to do good.
I also don't think BGE1 was perfect or even a masterpiece, so I'm ok with even significant changes.
As I said the new art style has a much stronger personality in my opinion.

Does this seem like a game that will have photography?
Eh. It felt odd, especially when there was zero swearing in the first game.
The fact there's a lot of negativity surrounding this one aspect goes to show something was clearly off about it. Probably didn't help the only word was fuck. Not even any variety to the swearing.
House of the Dead Overkill didn't get the same flak and that was awarded the prize of most F-Bombs of the year. People can accept swearing in games, but that doesn't mean they'll happily accept it in all games.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
No, not really.
Not trying to go for anything here, just curious what game you are talking about.

Yeah, I really liked the new stuff that they showed in the CG trailer and new characters, combining the two would have been perfect. The shots of presumably Jade's mom for example were real good too. The trailer and world was fantastic.
I do trust Ancel since he's still leading this personally. Just that one bit hampering my full hype (along with the mysteries about online versus single-player narrative focus support). That's actually not a bad thought, a part of the game having them later in the game wouldn't be bad. That would not be a bad middle point to meet the long-time fans.

It just keeps getting worse.
Okay, I'm a bit puzzled. Thought it was really obvious:
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
It's explicitly a prequel.

So if this is gritty, is Mario + Rabbids gritty?
It had a charming world and story, and some pretty fun gameplay, plus it had a comfy vibe.
The art style, I thought,was always little too bland and safe.
This is a significant step up though, I agree.
Did you play the first game?
Honestly, with how the first game ended, a prequel would be able to answer a lot of questions. Where a chronological sequel would likely have Jade uncover new info on old events, a prequel can just show the events that will inevitably affect her.
ElBoxyBrown

Yes. Where's the grittiness in this trailer? I saw funny animals, humans, a colorful future world, and weird shit.
Just like I'd be more interested in that game if it didn't have rabbids, I'd be less disappointed with this game if it didn't have "Beyond Good & Evil" in the title.

Hell yes another game I have been wanting is coming back!
DeathoftheEndless

Right, but they go out of their way in the description to say that its not going to be all that similar to the first game.

Sorta sounds like this is at least 2 and more likely 3 years away.
For which plattform(s) the game will come out. Its long off anyway.
Explicit indeed.

I stand corrected! Is this more common with games than with movies then? I legit can't think of any (and obviously I've never played any of those games or I woulda know this already) besides Paranormal Activity 2, which is technically both a prequel and a sequel since it takes place before, during, and after the events of PA1.
Rabbids start saying "fukin wot m8te" and shit then that would be an argument. This feels like they tried to ride the line of grim dark and whimsy and just came up with something puzzling.
