Ugh thanks Ubisoft for changing a single player game into something entirely different From what people wanted

-Foxtrot2696d ago (Edited 2696d ago )

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd...I'm out

Third Strike

chrisx2696d ago

Same here. Will avoid this like a plague.

-Foxtrot2696d ago

They ruined it...I mean the game could be great but at the end of the day this is NOT Beyond Good and Evil

We just wanted a simple sequel of a great story based platforming game with Jade as the main character continuing her adventure from the open ending of the first game. What do Ubisoft do after 15 years? Oh lets make a gigantic, high stakes open world space game which is prequel to the original game and with a huge focus on online and co-op play, not too mention giving you a blank create your own character protagonist.

First it's a prequel, then a year and a half later after the outcries you see a trailer with Pey'j in it gazing upon an evil looking Jade who looks the same age as she was in the first game. He even looks at her, recognizing who she is when he says "...jade?" So when the hell did that happen? They never mentioned she was evil, brain washed, corrupted in the first game, she was just an orphan who Pey'j took in and they lived in a light house. This is the issue with prequels people don't seem to get, now it seems we are either going to have a now sequel which makes no sense, getting rid of the plot points built up in the first game or a forced in story prequel which won't link to the first game at all.

This game has so many problems. Please Ubisoft just rename it.

GaboonViper2695d ago

Why are they doing this?, BGAE is one of my favourite games, 15 years I've waited.

ApocalypseShadow2695d ago (Edited 2695d ago )

I'm out as well.

When it was first revealed, when they were stuck in the desert with the vehicle broke down, I was in. When there was a leak online of what Jade looked like being chased through the town, then jumping for the helicopter, I was in.

When they finally revealed the game, I was out. And now I'm definitely out. They took Michael Ancel's game and destroyed what we were waiting for. And if he's responsible and this was his original vision, he can shove it where the sun don't shine.

-Foxtrot2695d ago

@Michael Ancel

"They took Michael Ancel's game and destroyed what we were waiting for. And if he's responsible and this was his original vision, he can shove it where the sun don't shine"

I can't believe he would have wanted to go this route but you never know

You want to know what I think. I think this game was NEVER going to get the greenlight as there was nothing about the original idea that was profitable in their minds, so they put it on the back shelf until one day some Ubisoft executive had an idea about an open world space game as you see in these trailers, they thought to themselves "Gee, this is an ambitious project, there's no way in hell we can risk something like this with a new IP...UNLESS" then they flick through old franchises which haven't been around for a long time until they came across up Beyond Good and Evil. "Perfect, this kind of game will do...Michelle please get in touch with Michael Ancel and tell him we'll greenlight Beyond Good and Evil 2 under some conditions"

PhantomS422695d ago

How can you be out if you were never in and have been trolling every single article?

-Foxtrot2695d ago (Edited 2695d ago )

@PhantomS42

Dude just shush and look around. Am I the only one complaining about this? I mean seriously?

If you aren't going to add to the convo then go away

Troll calling others trolls...ironic.

ApocalypseShadow2695d ago (Edited 2695d ago )

Fox,

If they gave him some conditions, which is probable, I would have just said, "forget it." Hold on to his integrity. His principles.

It's like when Kevin Smith had that script with Nicolas Cage as Superman. It was way off base of what movie goers and I would have accepted. I was glad it was thrown in the trash bin and not made into a movie. And I actually think Kevin Smith is a cool guy. Even went to go see him at the Hard Rock with Jason and Katie Morgan was there. It was funny. But that superman script was trash.

BG&E just looks way off. The first game had heart, emotion and felt like a Zelda game. The music was awesome. I had to download that music it was so catchy. But whatever they're making now, won't be purchased by me. And, online required? Oh hell no. I don't buy online only or online required games. I would love to purchase Firewall Zero Hour. But online only and one mode and no single player is a no from me even if I love vr and it looks like it plays great for a shooter.

AnubisG2695d ago

Yep, same here. Was looking forward to it but not anymore.

TheGoodestBoi2695d ago

On the brightside theyve saved me from spending $60

ApocalypseShadow2695d ago

And before I forget, Jon Peters and Tim Burton who also were part of the trash superman scripts.

Now I would just settle for a remaster of the first game like Crash and Spyro got minus the digital crap Activision did for Spyro. I could live with a remaster. Not this prequel.

kreate2695d ago

I won't even buy it for $10 until the DRM is dropped.

beulahland2695d ago

You won't be missed, kid.

bouzebbal2695d ago

Why are publishers willing to kill the franchises like this??

Kingthrash3602695d ago

Smh...gaming...slowly dying.

UncertainCategory2692d ago

Fox... did you play the first game? It is very clearly mentioned at the end of the game that she was actually an entity called ‘Shauni’ but has no memory of this. Pey’j knew this and kept it a secret..

With that in mind, her being some dark evil thing in the prequel actually makes a lot of sense. The first game constantly references things that happened before, even the ending puts Jades entire past into question by revealing that she’s some supernatural being and not a simple orphan.

Considering all that we don’t know, the next game being a prequel fits really well, to give context behind the crazy ending of the first game and hopefully set up a proper conclusion later on.

I won’t argue you on the rest of your points, I’d rather a good single player game than an online one myself, but I think you’re dead wrong about everything you said about the plot, and it’s very clear to me that you haven’t played the original game in a long time.

My hype for Beyond Good and Evil 2 is dying...

SegaGamer2695d ago

Mine was in critical condition as soon as the first teaser for it was released at E3 last year. Now, it's completely dead. I agree with Foxtrot above, this isn't Beyond Good and Evil, they just took the name and shoved this new IP onto it.

The links to the game are so small and everything that is linked to the original feels forced to try and shut up the fans saying that it's nothing like the original Beyond Good and Evil.

If any serious Beyond Good and Evil fan is excited about what they have done, then they were never a proper fan in the first place. I just can't imagine why any fan of the original would be happy with this.

Derekvinyard132695d ago

Wait wtf why??? Isn’t this a single player game did I miss something? Is there multiplayer?

Nitrowolf22695d ago

Yeah I think it’s no focused, large space to explore, planets and ect. Iirc cities are all detailed but outside of that things are generated

Exvalos2695d ago (Edited 2695d ago )

Bottom line man the success of fortnite is screwing everything up devs now think all we want is multiplayer games with shallow to no story

neutralgamer19922695d ago

I hope ubi suffers some serious financial problems just so they open their eyes and ears and listen to our feedback

I am do sick and tired of the fact EA gets all the blame yet ubi are way worst. They are selling MT in single player portion of their games

Take two ceo said we aren't charging enough for content

Activision are putting financial people to run the development side of their business

Ea is Ea

Ubi are greedier than most

This is a 4 horse race yet only one horse is being looked at

william_cade2695d ago

UBI, EA, Bethesda,Activision, Capcom ....the list is almost endless

NarooN2695d ago

I was expecting a single player journey like the first one. What the hell is this always-online auto-generated world bs? They just made the game in a way nobody asked for. It's probably gonna bomb and Ubi deserves it.

sampsonon2694d ago

yes, don't try anything new. keep making the same games over and over again so people can complain that your games are always the same and that you never try anything new.

Nitrowolf2 speaks for everyone and you should have known this Ubisoft.... the nerve.

Bitchhh and complain should be the mantra for this gen.

i give the benefit of the doubt until i try something. if i don't like it i turn and go on with my life.
imagine a musician being told what to create? oh! wait! that's exactly what the last two generations of musicians have had done to them.

oh well, copy and paste i guess.
excuse me, going to listen to The Ramones

The_Sage2694d ago

Oh the irony...

A bitch fit that includes bitching about people bitching.

sampsonon2694d ago

@The_Sage: maybe you bitch so much that when you read someone's comment about people complaining about everything, you hear it in a bitchy tone.

so stop being a bitchhh all the time and fix your problem.

remixx1162693d ago

You sound straight crazy bro, there is a difference between locking someone into a cycle to force profit and unnecessarily drastically changing something to make a profit at the expense of the fans it was originally meant for.

Look at hip hop from the 90s compared to the straight shit we here played on the radio now.

Hard pass. Shame, was really looking forward to this.

Double_O_Revan2695d ago

Yea, they didn't "Nail It" like they thought they did.

Yui_Suzumiya2695d ago

Nail in the coffin is more like it. I didn't wait nearly 10 years for this crap.

robtion2695d ago

Yep I loved the original. It is the only ps2 game I still own. This sounds bad though. Boo Ubisoft.

UCForce2696d ago

Are you seriously, Ubisoft ? Ugh, this is why I hate Gaas. Publishers just love heavily modernization on consumer.

Brave_Losers_Unite2695d ago

Yup companies will get lazier with this s**t

deadfrag2695d ago

Thats why we should not support this kind of moves by developers and there publishers.Talk with your Wallet and dont buy it or pré order.

NotanotherReboot2695d ago

Ok thanks for the explanation but can you pleas not downvote my comments when I've don nothing wrong it upsets me

Rachel_Alucard2695d ago

I didn't downvote but on the internet when you tell people not to do something you are just pushing them to do it, since you are reacting to it.

UCForce2695d ago

That’s because people won’t take you seriously.

Atomicjuicer2695d ago

GAAS means you don’t own the game any more. You can’t sell it or trade it and eventually it will be taken offline and cease to exist.

It puts all the power into the hands of the publishers and takes all consumer rights away.

It also destroys retro gaming.

Cobra9512695d ago

Assuming you're serious, if getting downvoted upsets you, internet forums are not for you. You could say that the grass is green, and someone will find a reason to disagree with you, or downvote you just because they can.

Godmars2902695d ago

Sadly, people round here are just reactionary like that.

This is why Ubisoft is the worst publisher/developer they make buggy as shit games have a million different type of editions of their games and shove them full of micro transactions and make changes to games no one asked for

deno2695d ago

I don't know man. It's pretty difficult to beat EA

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio10d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing10d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9210d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit10d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing10d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9210d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
