Tech Video For Beyond Good & Evil Sequel Surfaces, Showcases Gorgeous Environments

Posted on Friday, May 11 @ 12:37:22 Eastern by Alex_Osborn

It was recently confirmed by Ubisoft that the long awaited sequel to Michel Ancel's Beyond Good & Evil is currently in the works for next-gen hardware. A leaked screenshot hit the web earlier this week teasing what the game may look like when it eventually launches. Now, just a few days later, an entire minute and a half of gorgeous environmental footage allegedly from the game has surfaced (above) and man, does it look awesome.

While it may not present the mind-blowing graphical leap gamers are likely expecting from the next-gen, it sure does look gorgeous. The astounding level of detail lends itself to creating a sense of place and atmosphere that is really impressive. With Ubisoft's press conference only a few weeks away, there's a good chance that they are planning to release this video at that time. Wait, scratch that. Ubisoft pressers are historically rather unbearable and this clip would definitely break that trend.

I don't know about you, but for me, this game can't come soon enough. Bring on the the next-gen!

    I replayed the original not so long ago--I'm pretty sure it won't take multi-million polygon graphics chugging along at 30 frames per second to make BG&E2 a next generation game. I fully expect to experience things I never have before, and anything less would be a disappointment.

    I've heard rumblings about BG&E2 being another Duke Nukem Forever scenario, but with what I've seen I don't know how people can say that; sure it's been "in development" in some form since... what, 2008 or thereabouts?

    If it plays as good as the first, it should be a beautiful, beautiful thing. And entirely worth the wait.

    Agreed. The first one was absolutely brilliant. I've been waiting for another captivating adventure like this. The characters and story were brilliant in the original. I hope that same quality carries over.
