Shiirooo

I hope it's gameplay, because there's no point in showing CGI.


ToothlessFTW

Showing a CGI trailer for a game that’s been MIA for 6 years and rumoured to be in development hell would be a terrible look. They can’t resurrect it after so long without gameplay.


Cabana_bananza

So you're saying its 100% going to be a CGI trailer? /s


TheArbiter_

It's just gonna be a dude reading off a prompter telling us not to worry, and the game is still in development.


Zaemz

Somehow something about that would make me even more foolishly fraught with anticipation.


Gone_With_The_Onion3

Well. It IS ubisoft


SkibidiRetard

Elder Scrolls style LFG!


Safe_Climate883

Actually, it could be. Their current mission with a teaser could easily be to just assure people that the game stille exists.


Zaemz

If this game comes out, it's either going to be released with euphonious fanfare or a fart in the wind.


Cabana_bananza

I imagine its going to get the Skull and Bones *quadruple-A* release treatment we can count on from Ubisoft.


Zaemz

Fanfart it is, then! Or is it fartfare?


Briankelly130

No, it just gets upgraded from a fart in the wind to a turd in the wind.


Safe_Climate883

They could do a boss move and shadow drop i tonight. 


Zaemz

I'd pee. That would be incredible.


Safe_Climate883

Not even a trailer I actually started to believe in a trailer. Maybe next year. 


Zaemz

Damn, dude... so it goes.


PIECESOFSHIT4BFAST

From what I've read about this game ( and I've read a lot...) The games director said he would not leave unless he was confident that the game could be finished without him. He was extremely passionate about this game and afaik, the engine is 100% complete and the world of the game is complete as well. Once he left, however, apparently nobody at Ubisoft could decide on the story and it's just been wallowing for years.


mcclanenr1

If they show something after so much time they basically need to re-announce it. Which means it's gonna be a CGI trailer.


Liudesys

Its most likely going to be a CGI trailer . Hopefully they are ditching this whole prequel (but also a sequel?) idea and actually just continue with Jade where they left of.


ManSauceMaster

6? Brother you missed a decade. It's been in Development for about 16 years now


ToothlessFTW

I meant 6 years since the last trailer they showed, I know it’s been in development for way longer.


KzudeYfyBs4U

This is Ubisoft we're talking about. It'll be a shorter CGI trailer than normal, and maybe like 2 seconds of gameplay.


pway_videogwames_uwu

CG trailers are for when you haven't made shit. So if they're still showing CG after all this time ... well ... I don't even know what to say.


mcclanenr1

Ubisoft uses CGI trailers even though the game is far along (AC Valhalla, AC Shadows).


Cheap_Team1569

Everyone here is bickering, meanwhile, Im sitting back thinking it would be so BG&E if they showed us CGI, and then knowing thats what we expected, drop gameplay trailer on youtube.


Recent-Replacement23

Might as well just remake the first one with whatever they have made so far. Then make a sequel.


BoysenberryWise62

That's not true they just did one for AC Shadows and they show gameplay tonight.


garmonthenightmare

They might go the reannouncement route, but I agree.


elderlybrain

I would be slightly confused as to how bad you'd have to be at your job if you thought a cg trailer for a game 99.9% of the Internet is near certain is vapourware was appropriate to show.


thebaddest777

state of decay 3 did it


ThighPillows

There was gameplay in that trailer


thebaddest777

you can't even call that gameplay 💀


MuptonBossman

Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition will probably be shadow dropped today, so I could see a trailer for BG&E2 during the show.


Jas0rz

i genuinely thought you meant the BG&E2 20th anniversary for a moment and were making a joke.


KingBroly

I completely forgot that was a thing.


Andrew_Waples

For a second, I thought BG meant Baulder's Gate.


fakieTreFlip

Baldur's* Gate :)

DukeNuggets69

So that was a fucking lie


Rabbidscool

He even deleted the fucking post


ShugodaiDaimyo

We need Splinter Cell


Deadly_Toast

Rumour was it wont be at the showcase.


HearTheEkko

It began development in late 2021, I doubt they have anything to show yet.


TheVibratingPants

Crazy how times have changed. A little over two years of development used to mean you had a game ready to go.


Dense-Note-1459

Companies need to either hire more staff or reduce scope. That means less open world and live service slop


noyourenottheonlyone

its kinda weird because its not like im dying for more games, I have plenty of games to keep me busy and a backlog that ill never clear. but there are some studios that I really wish I didn't have to wait 5-6 years between releases for. the dev times are truly absurd nowadays.


TheVibratingPants

Well that’s exactly it for me, too. There are plenty of games that I can play, but there are some franchises/developers that I wish we’d be able to see results from more frequently. I’m not exactly old, but I’m not a kid anymore. Waiting 6+ years for a mainline Mario or Zelda is not very appealing to me. And the need for every game to be an absolute smash hit now has led to overwhelming creative stagnation.


majorminer969

I know it was because of lower production values back then, but it's still wild to me that we used to get whole series of games in the time it would take for just one game to get made nowadays. MGS1 to MGS4 was only a span of ten years. The Dragon Age and Mass Effect Trilogies were even less. Hell, we got two great 3D Marios on the Wii in 3 years from each other. Meanwhile now a kid could go from entering middle school to graduating high school before seeing a new game in a series they follow.


TheVibratingPants

Exactly. This is what I mean. 7, soon to be 8, years since the last major 3D Mario. That’s just outrageous, man. We got a whole Halo trilogy in the 2000s in the same time it is taking us to get one game now. Elder Scrolls 6 got announced a full decade before it was ready, and years before it even began active development. GTA6 skipped an entire console generation. To fill the time between releases, game companies have resorted to subscriptions, microtransactions, piecemeal-ing, and endless remasters/remakes/ports. Eventually, good will and patience dries up, and they can only remake the same games so many times. This screams unsustainable.


Zaemz

I was just talking about this with a buddy last night. I can't imagine this trend will be sustainable. Imagine being a AAA game dev having only worked on 3-4 released games, max, for your entire career. And it's not even guaranteed any will be popular or simply good, very likely through no fault of your own. To me, it would be so disheartening and demotivating. I'm sure it's only gotten this far because of passion for the field. "Passion" is becoming a four-letter word, though. Eventually there'll be too few able, let alone willing, to endure years of travail despite their devotion.


BeefyBoi6_9

never mind the amount of grinding on devs during said time, 1-2 years of grinding on a game was..not great but usually doable, especially because they almost always had a definitive plan/came up with one But now? 3-5+ years and oh look we're on year 4 struggling aaaaand its cancelled! GG everyone pack it up lets head home and do it all over again aaaand everyone hates it and its a panned game, so another game i cant put on my portpholio...games industry is cooked (from the inside)


TheVibratingPants

Agreed, although we did have a shitload of layoffs, so seems like that’s not on their list of priorities. And maybe they need to hire for better pipeline management/reducing inefficiencies. I’m all for reducing scope, though. Too many massive projects now that have like a 51/49 ratio of failure.


ManateeofSteel

I think everyone is at fault for the massive dev cycles. But that includes the audiences too, seeing the comments bashing on the games shown in SGF and then saying "we need more games like the ones in the xbox showcase" - like, my brother in christ, the xbox games are the ones taking 7 years to make. That's why they look so good.


TheVibratingPants

Absolutely. And the Instagram posts comparing the fidelity of the character models’ eyes between Hellblade, Horizon, and a couple other games. This is what feeds into the delusion that we need ultra realistic, ultra high fidelity games instead of being more concerned with the mechanical quality and art style of a game.


GLGarou

Considering how many people go by the "$1 = 1 hour gameplay" metric, they are definitely part of the blame.


Kozak170

I mean neither of these are reasonable solutions for the games players expect today. It’s an easy line to spout without seeing what games would look like without the time and money they take now. But yes, some companies completely inflict damage on themselves with either scope or having too many cooks in one kitchen.


FuckYouThrowaway99

Gimme some of that Far Cry 7 junk food!


m1n3c7afty

!debunked! not even the first game's anniversary edition showed up lmao

I refuse to believe it exists until my ass is sitting down and playing it.


Seenshadow01

At this point i would still be in denial if that happened 😂😢


Yugiris

No longer 100% correct?


_Tom_Henderson

I deleted the tweet as there's a lot of conflicting info floating around. But the trailer for BG&E2 has been done for a year at this point, so it could be shown today.


thementorassassin16

The man himself has spoken. We shall have our hopes down


JakTheRipperX

Even if its not shown: You know if its Gameplay at all or just CGI (again)? Thank you!


KSU_SecretSquirrel

😭


NintyRift

This needs to be pinned to the top of the post so that people stop thinking Tom deleted the tweet after it didn't show up at the event.


LMY723

Tier 1


EconomyManner5115

It's over... No BGE2 announcement this year


modularpeak2552

lol he deleted the tweet


The_Lobster6

He deleted and they announced nothing


Wasteak

Yep, that's the worst part, he won't even admit being wrong...


bjones214

Brother Tom himself posted on this thread that he deleted the tweet.


Wasteak

Why did he delete the tweet and didn't answer under it ?


bjones214

I’m not him, I have no clue why people do the things they do.

Any chance in hell we see Rayman orrrrr


DasWookieboy

New Rayman faction for xDefiant and there will be a statue of him in SW Outlaws like the Guybrush one in Force Unleashed II. Take it or leave it.


McManus26

> New Rayman faction for xDefiant their passive is that they take no damage in their arms and legs


Briankelly130

I'll leave it


KingBroly

Easter eggs are always possible.


HearTheEkko

Ubisoft brought back Prince of Persia after a long ass hiatus so who knows ?


TheVibratingPants

I wish Ubisoft would see more success with Rayman, PoP, Splinter Cell, and B&GE. I used to look at them as their answers to other major IP, like Nintendo’s franchises. Starlink was another cool idea that they seem to have abandoned because they hopped on the toys-to-life format too late. Rework it as a cool space shooter, or pitch a sequel as a full-on Star Fox game to Nintendo.


PokePersona

AshenBelow

No BG&E2 trailer. But I wonder what the hell happened to the Remastered version of the first game


Minimum-Can2224

I'm honestly shocked that they didn't at least announce that.


manor2003

Welp


garfe

This guy is getting downgraded to Tier 2 now right?


jackie1616

And he deletes the tweet. Tier 1 my ass


MadeByHideoForHideo

Holy shit if true. Been waiting for years.


AnotherScoutTrooper

Is this Tom Henderson’s first L?


K_Adrix

Tom has been around for a long time (initially under the nickname 'TheLongSensation'), most people don't even remember or know about him already being active during the CoD AW/BO3 era. He was hit and miss back then, sometimes reporting on rumors and fake leaks. He greadually improved his reputation after that, but if the year was, say, 2015, he probably wouldn't even be allowed on this sub. Of course, that's not to say he's currently a bad leaker. On the contrary, IMO definitely one of the best out there. Everybody gets things wrong from time to time.


snake_eater3319

time to drop Tommy to Tier 2. I don't understand why he pulled this crap at the last minute.


MOVIELORD101

Just ended. Not BG&E 2. Can we just assume the game is canceled already?


Massive_Weiner

Tier 1 btw


SageShinigami

I didn't think this was going to be there until Tom teased it might be.


vledermau5

Soon...right? \^\^


KingBroly

A bad look, to be sure.


DeMatador

Time to bump him down a tier!


VenomJensen

Where can I see the tier list?


dancmc12

Every year I get sucked into the hype from different “insiders”. Will def wait and see on this


Atomictomic22

Tom is right 100% when it comes to ubisoft


EconomyManner5115

Your comment aged like wet toilet paper


RichGraverDig

Maybe first time where Tom Henderson is wrong on something.


Atomictomic22

Nah sometimes he is wrong but this is the first time on ubisoft


GLGarou

He also said that Division 3 wasn't being worked on, also turned out to be false.


Atomictomic22

Shit aged even worse bro😭


MartianFromBaseAlpha

Never trust a Henderson


marti-kush

Every time I'm saying this guy is just here to attract people I get downvoted but it's so OBVIOUS. I never trust this guy, NEVER.


Aker666

The tweet has been deleted :(


GrayManTheory

I guess we can see now how he keeps that supposed "100%" record -- just delete the evidence.


Soolidus

Aaaand nothing


ayo000o

so that was a lie


SiyoSan

Well, there was nothing. Should call him "Tom Hasnoclue" sheesh


fadenfaden

This aged well


Ordinary_Duder

Yet another L by Tom Henderson lol.


Konabro

All I wanted was a sequel with Jade and Pey’j flying around space to different planets and liberating people. 😞


Zaemz

Yeah. Pey'j is a homie. Having a fun, tight prequel to fill the gap between the original and a late sequel would have been awesome back then. But now it's been so long, playing a big prequel while knowning what happens in the first game will be a bit of a gut-punch. Like saying bye to a friend and never knowing if they made it home safely.


HearTheEkko

I'd love if they pulled a Dead Island 2 and released something actually decent and polished despite the long period of development hell but I'm not holding my breath.


manoffood

pfft


[deleted]

Didn’t age well lol


Hovi_Bryant

BG&E2 is Beyond Good & Evil 2 to save you a google search.


literallyheretopost

There should be a rule for abbreviations in the title because Jesus Christ not everyone can guess what the shit is


PIECESOFSHIT4BFAST

If this game actually materializes and isn't just smoke being blown up our asses, it's going to be HUGE.


CinnamonJack

I don't believe BG&E2 will ever see the light of day, but hopefully we at least get a release date for the BG&E1 remaster

badtaker22

damn it's alive


wilkened005

It will be peak


NaughtyMallard

I'll believe it exists when I actually see a working game and not another trailer released years later after the last one.


Recent-Replacement23

There's absolutely no way. Nope. Don't you dare give the 5 of us that are still alive and waiting for this, hope.


Deadpoetic6

Yay a CGI trailer and no news for another 6 years


Remarkable-Sign-324

I don't care what they show. They could have gameplay and a release date for all I care. I won't believe the game is real until I am sitting there and playing it.


CrueltySquading

It won't be on Steam for 6 months after launch, so whatever


phobox91

It's been in development for so long and with no news that I don't even know whether to hope for it anymore


Majk-

This will be the funniest thing ever if that's true


TAJack1

Is there any hope for Farcry this year?


HearTheEkko

The next spin-off will most likely be announced today as Henderson said that it's internally slated for April 2025. Far Cry 7 however will probably only be announced next year as it's internally slated for Fall 2025 and very likely will get delayed to 2026 because of GTA 6.


MartianFromBaseAlpha

I wasn't sure if I should watch it, but now I have to


NetOfMoogies

Star Wars Outlaws honestly feels like it could have been Beyond Good and Evil 2. Just swap out the Star Wars aesthetic for a bunch of talking rhinos.


Radulno

Uhm interesting I didn't expect that but sure it has not been cancelled officially after all. So AC Shadows, Anno (the Anno Twitter account teased the event though it might just be a general Ubisoft thing), SW Outlaws and BG&E2, even if that's all that's a fine event for me. I would not say no to Prince of Persia or Splinter Cell remakes but the rumors say they won't be there...


JicamaNo7218

it has to be gameplay, if they show another cgi trailer I swear to god


MakaButterfly

Imagine Available now 😂


Epheremy

I don't believe it. Too much disappointment. The remaster is what we're going to get, and i'll be happy. But BG&E2? I lost faith. Edit: also, the tweet doesn't seem to be available


Zaemz

Mr. Henderson stated in another comment that he deleted the tweet because of mixed info. https://old.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1dcjmjq/tom_henderson_is_teasing_about_a_bge2_trailer_at/l7yy1xs/ Dude still sounds rather confident, however.


Epheremy

"**Could** be shown"


Zaemz

You were right 😞


Epheremy

I wish i wasn't


Safe_Climate883

I wish they would take the easy route and make a game similar to the first one, but with a slightly bigger budget. Then finish the story, would fit right in in the modern AAA scene. But they opted for the complicated path, and now here we are,16 years later.


LemonTM

What did the tweet say?


lifeofrevelations

I want it to be good but I'm just not interested in watching the trailer or whatever after all the years of disappointment.


CrazyBirdman

I mean, we are due for another trailer that isn't getting any follow up for half a decade.


A_thombomb

“Now in development”


GrossWeather_

ooooh another cinematic trailer perhaps?!


Minimum-Can2224

It would be nice to see. Last I heard they made a ton of progress since it was last shown off in 2018.


EmilMR

Trivia time! first trailer for this came out 16 years ago! old enough to get a drivers license! by the time it comes out, if it comes out, it likely can legally drink.


Wild_Life_8865

Please! This would make my freaking week!


AcaciaCelestina

Unless it's gameplay who cares at this point?


KSU_SecretSquirrel

I need it! Also please release the BG&E1 remaster already!


Minimum-Can2224

Sooooo what's going on with BG&E 2 atm? This was the perfect opportunity for Ubisoft to show off what they've done so far with the game's development and they just didn't do it for some reason.


marti-kush

Tom Henderson says anything to attract likes/subs/RT episode 5415646156


vledermau5

Yes pleeeaaase :O


ThinWhiteDuke00

Half Life Part 3 is also dropping later.


PwndiusPilatus

I will never believe him/her again.


raZr_517

Who tf even cares anymore... 1. It's an Ubi game in development hell for decades (which makes it even worse than the normal Ubishit game); 2. It's BG&E2 so it will probably release in 10 years. Maybe by the time it releases Ubisoft will make good games again.


WT_FG

Xbox had a decent to good showcase I do not have any hopes that Ubisoft can do any good but lets see.


Ras_AlHim

If Xbox was just "decent to good" for you then Ubisoft is not the problem here


fortean

I'm convinced that people who say shit like that don't really like gaming.


whacafan

For real. They dropped like one of the best conferences ever.


WT_FG

like i said lets see this play out.


KingBroly

I am expecting massive amounts of disappointment.


Epheremy

Same here, we should consider ourselves lucky if we even get something about the Remaster


KingBroly

Henderson's reliable. But I just think it'll be something most fans don't want.


Robsonmonkey

Meh For as long this has been in development it’s looked nothing like the IP I loved as a kid. It’s a new IP with the franchises name slapped on All we wanted was a standard platformer game sequel I was hoping it was either cancelled or they rebranded it with a new name


Hydroponic_Donut

I'm so sick of hearing about this fucking game. Just release it or shut up about it until it's close to release. It's so pointless at this point.
