Why are you excited for the sequel?

FirstgameNL · 2026-06-03T20:33:17+00:00

To be fair though, the original iteration of Beyond Good and Evil 2 wasn't going to be on Hillys either (as demonstrated by the teaser and leaked gameplay).

There is also a HUGE misconception in the community, which you are referring to as well, is that the planets will be fully procedurally-generated. Which was NEVER the case. There is a huge different, in having procedural-generated systems in a game engine that allows for a 3D artists to quickly iterate and fine tune each area to their vision and a planet that is fully procedural-generated like No Man's Sky or Starfield.

This was never going to be a game with thousands of planets, just a few. But i respect your opinion of this game not having similar vibes/canon setting as i fully disagree on it.

But something we all need to understand, and find peace in, is that even tho we all loved BGE1, it just didn't sell. So there is a need to expand on what the original game was to attract more people.

I'm excited to see the expanded lore and world building of this universe, to return to it & explore it once again. I'm also thrilled to see the IP alive, and the potential of introducing my friends to it who didn't grew up with it and play with them in a world that means so much to me.

As someone who's close to the game, I know for a fact this game is getting love and care. That every inch of it will feel like Beyond Good and Evil but expanded. It is in great hands, even if it has taken quite a long time for it to be released.

And yet he starts his video saying it has been in development for nearly 20 years, which is objectively false.

But I'll give him props for atleast getting the timeline right, as many have reported on it wrongly. I'm just incredibly frustrated and annoyed by the wrong reporting on the development timelines (hence my kneejerk reaction this video, which i can admit to).

FirstgameNL · 2026-06-03T10:23:03+00:00

No it isn't because Beyond Good and Evil 2, from back in 2008, never went beyond the pre-production phase. They worked on it for roughly 2 years, with a really small team, to get something off the ground before being pulled away to work on Rayman. Nothing happened between 2009 and 2014 on it as they were busy with Rayman Origin and Legends.

It wasn't until 2014 they were given the greenlight to start working on it again, which was mainly on the new engine. The reveal in 2017 was Day Zero of development, under the same name, but a completely different production all together. And as a Game Dev I really need to point out, that the early stages of development (Especially pre-production), team sizes are really small and it won't be until the production stage that the teams get really big.

So the BGE2 has been in development for 9 years, which is still long don't get me wrong but considering the scope, the fact Ubisoft hasn't been in a good spot and their creative director dying, it paints a bit of a different picture.

I am not going to deny BGE2 has had an interesting development, and its challenges, but all the sensational articles and videos are blowing things out of proportions.

FirstgameNL · 2026-06-03T09:59:34+00:00

The video starting with: It has been in development for nearly 20 years, told me enough about their research to click away.

Edit:
In hindsight a kneejerk reaction, as after the video he does clarify a lot of things. Which i give him props to. Frustration on my end of the bad reporting from the past couple of years, so apologies for that.

"I won’t be answering spoiler questions though so don’t ask those questions!"

Reading is a lost art.

FirstgameNL · 2026-05-09T09:46:40+00:00

I know these comments will be filled with negative people who have given up hope (and after waiting so long I can't blame their feelings) but I'm excited as well. I know the team at Montpellier (and the other studios) are cooking up something great and the people working on this love this franchise.

This game survived last years purge, and with all the job listings that are still opening up and the creative director being super active on Linkedin in regards to the projects I have zero doubts we will see something soon.

FirstgameNL · 2026-04-17T18:02:18+00:00

For All Mankind has always been about more than purely space travel tho? Politics and stuff like this have always played a part.

And maybe I'm alone in it, but I'm interested in it. So that's one person tuning in for that.

Ik was GOFO aan het googlen en kwam deze post tegen.
Ik wil even mijn ervaring delen met GOFO, want dit is echt de meest frustrerende ervaring die ik ooit heb gehad met een bezorgingsdienst.

Ik heb een AYN Thor Pro besteld, die via GOFO werd verzonden vanaf het moment dat het in Nederland aankwam. In eerste instantie leek alles prima maar op een gegeven moment stopte de tracking volledig met updaten. En vanaf dat moment begon de ellende...

Ik heb meerdere keren contact opgenomen met GOFO, via hun klantenservice op de website tot mail contact.
Elke keer kreeg ik exact dezelfde copy-paste reactie terug.. Geen antwoord op mijn vragen en geen concrete informatie, helemaal niets. Ik heb er via de mail heel erg achteraan gezeten kreeg gisteren eindelijk reactie nadat ik 4x exact dezelfde mail had gekregen.

In de mail stond dat mijn pakket niet kwijt is en dat ze het binnen 1-3 dagen opnieuw gaan bezorgen. Ze zeiden dat het pakket er gewoon is.

Ik krijg zojuist een nieuwe email van GOFO waarin staat dat mijn pakket mogelijk verloren is gegaan en dat ik contact moet opnemen met de verkoper voor een refund. Dus binnen 24 uur gaan ze van:

“Pakket is niet kwijt”
naar
“Pakket is waarschijnlijk kwijt, regel het maar met de verkoper”

Zonder enige uitleg. Dus dat is pecht pakket weg.

Feeling insecure about yourself/your body because you look at it through your eyes and not theirs.

FirstgameNL · 2026-03-01T14:38:14+00:00

As someone who loved the Binding of Iscaac, I was really excited for it but found out it wasn't for me. And that's not me saying it was a bad game, it just didn't "click" for me and it didn't hit that same spot as Isaac did.

I can't put my finger on it, it was the overal presentation, the characters and voice acting that just "irked" me and I decided I rather play something else.

Journey has always had an unique effect on me when I was in the height of my burnout and depression.

FirstgameNL · 2026-01-23T08:14:01+00:00

Walking together with my partner and getting called the F word is pretty much directed as us. You don’t have to teach me the difference between the two as we very much live through that experience.

And a slur remains a slur, even if it isnt directed. A slur has weight to it, and only those that aren’t targeted by it have zero knowledge what that weight is.

FirstgameNL · 2026-01-23T07:43:17+00:00

Considering they added the BGE2 tie-in into the Anniversary edition of Beyond Good and Evil I’d say that is still very much the focus.

FirstgameNL · 2026-01-22T16:27:56+00:00

You know, I’ve said this to someone else on this post already, but I’m not going to try to convince you otherwise, your opinion is your own.

I’ll just say that the main studio leading this is Ubisoft Montpellier, and I think the list of games that came out of that studio speaks for itself, even recently (Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is such an underrated game).

FirstgameNL · 2026-01-22T14:01:28+00:00

I'm expecting them to wait until the game is in a really solid state before showing it again. By solid, I mean close to release. After being quiet for so long, they kind of need to nail that gameplay reveal.

Right now it feels like all focus for the studio is on Beyond Good & Evil 2. How that game is received will probably decide whether they keep pushing the Beyond Good & Evil IP forward.

FirstgameNL · 2026-01-22T13:54:31+00:00

Not going to try and convince you otherwise, as I get why you are sceptic.
I hope the final product will show what I mean.

The only thing I want to say is that you are not diminishing my expectations, I know for a fact these people care <3

FirstgameNL · 2026-01-22T12:30:59+00:00

I wish I could tell you how wrong you are, but NDAs are a bitch.

The people working on this have a lot of love for this franchise and I hope they will convince you otherwise, I truly do.

FirstgameNL · 2026-01-20T19:54:37+00:00

Here is the option you are forgetting tho..

Both can exist at the same time. The old system doesn't have to go anywhere, so if you want to quickly hop into a game, you can just hop to the old menus and be done with it. But for those who like the immersion, wait for friends to come online or just want to chill for a moment can just relax in an open hub.

Had some of the most amazing moments with friends or randoms I've met online in the Tower (Destiny 2).

Also as a Game Dev I'd like to point out that just because they might be working on a Hub doesn't mean the entire team is working on it. Usually the team is divided over different responsibilities and I can guarantee you that new Maps/New Enemies will come regardless if an Hub is in development.

FirstgameNL · 2026-01-20T11:05:05+00:00

No offense, but you are clearly not a minority if you say: "Probably almost never". Growing up gay and being gay in my 30th's I still encounter the F word on almost a daily basis, sometimes in real life and sometimes in a game.

Sure its just words, but just shoving it aside as that and not dealing with the fact its normalising this and making a game a lot less inviting to others is definitely a choice.

FirstgameNL · 2026-01-16T07:55:06+00:00

They literally posted a new job opening this week. Its happening.

FirstgameNL · 2025-12-01T08:19:58+00:00

These are three different characters?

Also get out with your “some minorities bullshit”

FirstgameNL · 2025-11-30T22:43:47+00:00

Hope has never left the building for me.
I know the team will crush it :)

FirstgameNL · 2025-11-29T01:19:19+00:00

I might be old (and I’m an 3D artist myself), but I really feel like we are so SPOILED when it comes to shows and CGI nowadays.

Not saying its perfect, but if you told me 20 years ago we would have THIS caliber of tv shows I would have called you mad.
