Reminds me of Luc Besson sci fi
I'm pretty happy with the direction he's taken the art style and tone. I just hope the team can handle a game with this ambition

How, when the game takes place before she was born? And they specifically said the game was a prequel. Are you saying Ubisoft is lying? That Instagram says nothing about the main characters, there are other characters in the original game than Jade who would have been alive before she was born.
For those talking about Switch, this game isnt gonna be out for a few years, so maybe by then Switch will have been replaced, maybe it wont be an issue, maybe it will have 100 million users so will get everything ported to it including this game.
More likely Pey'j then Jade considering the time period.

Indeed it does and if solo play and co-op are good then that's going to be yet another game to add to the must have list. That is if Ubi doesn't kill it with MTs.
Who is also French and inspired by Moebius & co. ;p.
No, I'm saying that it doesn't necessarily mean all of the story takes place before she was born, nor that all of the story is a prequel. We know that the game is mainly a prequel that mainly takes place before Jade's birth, but that doesn't mean it can't continue until after Jade's birth (actually, it's pretty likely considering that if they show Pey'J, they will also want to show how his story, namely how and why he escaped with Jade to Hillys). They might even try to resolve the cliffhanger at the end of BG&E1 with a short story segment, or they might leave it for BG&E3, but who knows at this point.
DualShockers have all of that art and more in high-res: http://www.dualshockers.com/beyond-...l-artwok-showing-characters-starships-vistas/

While I'll always feel a little bit of disappointment over not being able to continue Jade's adventures, the world of Beyond Good and Evil was wonderful and I'm really looking forward to visiting it again.

I didn't realize this was a prequel. I never paid much attention until now assuming that it would never actually get off the ground.
I don't understand the "cringe" with swearing. People swear in real-life. If everyone was cussing and it was being used as a stylistic device, I think I could see the issue. But it looks like it was limited to just one character in the trailer.

One thing I didn't catch the first time around is that the gold idol is called Pey'jin.
Is Pey'j like some kind of legend among pig people?
RE: Swearing- the conversation was between a pirate/street thug type guy and a Mafia boss. I think it would be weirder if they weren't swearing. The language kind of gives it a semi realistic rough around the edges feel that I really like. It certainly felt more natural than the garbage speak coming out of the mouths of Detroit's android revolutionaries.

You'll still hear about Jade and Pey in this one. And it can work wonders to offer fresh and new characters with their own perspectives, own character arcs, and own themes.
Think of sequels like Dreamfall TLJ or Dishonored 2 or MGS2 or RE2 and so forth that offer up new characters but with fresh and interesting experiences.

Just saw the reveal, and it looked heavily inspired by The Fifth Element to me.
Rewatching the trailer, I'm pretty excited. The art looks great. Its not the BGE2 I expected but I trust Ancel. Really don't know why they chose to go the prequel route but... I think tiw ill be good.
That said, the swearing should be toned down - it brought the overall quality of the trailer down significantly.

Unless you're reimagining a character, recreating characters from 14 years is really annoying from a writing standpoint

Did anyone else notice the gameplay happening in the background??!?
I havent seen anyone else mention it

Maybe this was posted, but Ancel went through the trailer for 11 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbwUJ468u14
Haven't gone through it yet, but it might just be vapid information.

Seriously though Ubisoft won E3 with this. Fucking amazing.
Good catch, it looks like the monkey flying around with a jetpack around the big statue @ 2:07:30
Fuck me, that is gorgeous.
Ok, so I was at work for most of the day and I didn't get a chance to watch the conference but I did see the announcement for BGE2.
My heart freaking rose out of my chest and then promptly fell out again after seeing the comments about the game being a prequel. I mean, after all this time, we ditch Jade and move backward?
However.
I literally just watched the trailer, and, despite some of the language (it just seemed a little odd considering how the first game didn't really have it), I am in. I think I forgot that part of BGE's charms were not only the characters, but the mysterious world that we were introduced to and this trailer has that in spades.
Now, I am worried about how uncertain the game still seems to be (early access?) but man, I trust in Ancel.
Just don't make me wait another dozen or so years to play it buddy, especially with that art I'm seeing a few posts above mine.

Yeah Sony conference was kinda boring compared to last year's.
It's a tossup between Wolfenstein and this for game of the show for me. Although I dunno if this really counts when you don't see gameplay but the presentation in the trailer was amazing.
Its a great game, though it takes a little bit to truly become special. Some very special, wow-worthy moments.
Yup.
I'm in the minority but I think I was more attached to the world itself than Jade and co. in the first game.
Yeah looks like ironman flying

The chase is pretty similar, for sure

Could you kindly recommend some essential comics from that genre?
I'd like to become more familiar.
So many jokes. Don't know where to begin with this one.
"The Incal" and the recently released (in English) "The World of Edena", both drawn by Moebius, are excellent places to start.

Chalk me up as another person confused as to what the hell this is, since aside from anthropomorphic animals it appears to have nothing to do with the original game in tone or style.
Went from a mostly nonviolent photographer sheltering a bunch of cute war orphans to watching some street hustlers kill thousands of people for shits and giggles. It's weird. Forget Jade, I just don't see any similarities to Hillys aside from the flying cars.
