Proof that Beyond Good & Evil 2 video is from Ubisoft

Jim Sterling, Reviews Editor
6:00 PM on 05.11.2009


A few days ago, hot new footage dropped that claimed to be gameplay footage for Beyond Good & Evil 2. Jaws dropped, tongues rolled and eyes widened at the beautiful footage, although some remained skeptical that the high-octane chase sequence was fake, or at the very least, unrelated to BG&E 2.

Well, we at Destructoid have discovered in-game commands for the video that not only proves this is definitely an official Ubisoft product, but also tells us exactly how the incredible chase sequence will be played. As you'll see from the video, BG&E 2 will follow Ubisoft's current commitment to providing simplified gameplay that looks amazing. If you loved Assassin's Creed or Prince of Persia, it's looking like you'll adore Beyond Good & Evil 2

Hit the jump for the footage. Looking at the in-game command prompts, I think you'll agree that this is an Ubisoft game through and through.





Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)


Hahahaha. :)
LOL I made that comment before I watched the video...
I guess the joke is that this is the company that made Assassin's Creed? And that game had a simple, automated control scheme? So, Beyond Good and Evil might play the same way?
Ha ha?
Had me fooled until the chopper bit. Good stuff.
Haha, very amusing.
HAHAHA

Well they had to make it more 'mainstream'

I hear they will be realising DLC for 400MS Points called 'No More Sore Thumbs'. It will press A for you.
Confirmed
Fantastic.
Saw this from a mile off, still brilliant.
The cow part was genius.
It would be funny if I weren't so incredibly worried it will be true.
Now Jim, this is Ubisoft, not Namco.

The next level will probably be only 800 Microsoft Points.
did somebody say 'Oh snap'?
Because I might just have to say 'Oh Snap'.
Niero: i agree. mildly surprised. ha.

Dear god Jim, you scared me there for a second! XD
Hmmm, well... yeah...
ACHIEVEMENT

Shere genius.
Hahaha, I laughed my fucking head off at "Be mildly startled by cow". Brilliant.
Yay!
I'm looking forward to this game a ton, but I must say, I found that very amusing, thank you mr. sterling ^^
I would rather play this video than the new Prince of Persia.
FMV, baby!
LOOOOOL, 1200 MS points! This is hilarious. I can't wait to "get chased by other choppers and that".
Jim wins.
JOURNALISM.
"Thing"........¬¬ NAH
I got excited... :[
Very funny.

Unfortunately, A button presses will probably skip that entire cinematic in the game. I find it hard to believe that that is real gameplay footage. Too smooth. Too much interior detail.
SATIRE!!!
No kidding.
Surprisingly natural cow-witnessing simulation!
That's not even funny. For a second there I thought this was going to be real news.


Oh well, at least E3 is coming up.
The cow part clinched it, definatly confirmed now.
Ubisoft is evolving games. More and more cinematic, until you don't even realize you're playing a game! So fluid and intuitive... If only the prompts were more subtle. And do we really need to "walk into wall"?
Well I'm sure that this new mechanic will be polished to perfection before it's out. Looking forward to it, Ubisoft!
Hilarious stuff, sir Sterling, but I have to admit it made me a bit scared. "Hold 10 sec", haha :D
lol that was awesome..
Hysterical. I actually giggled! Thanks
Very, very, very well played Dtoid. You made me laugh until it hurt!

Please, do more, many, many more. :)
Too true, bravo, Jim.
What I think you are all missing is that this isn't a jab at Assassin's Creed more than it is a jab at the new Prince of Persia.

I loved to watch Prince of Persia while periodically hitting a button. It was like watching the TV and finding that every channel has the same thing on!
dang dang looks tits
Aw, the end ruined it. Should have kept it to "Next level: Press A"
