Ubisoft: Beyond Good & Evil 2 needs more hardware power to run

Highly likely.
Especially considering Ubi is really pushing to be the number one 3rd party on the Wii U. This could be one of those "Unannounced" 3rd party titles that are hiding out til E3 for the Wii U.
No, Duke Nukem Forever was actually being worked on.

Don't be silly, of course there is - especially for the game to be commercially viable.
When Ubi and indeed virtually every other publisher says they need/desire "more powerful hardware", they're referring to consoles, not the PC.
They ought to just have it developed for PC-hardware in secret and then "downport" it to the next gen consoles. I mean PC to Console ports seem to be a pretty dope idea going by Battlefield 3 and Witcher 2, both of their console counterparts look fantastic.

It's not like your suggestion doesn't make sense. It does.
The problem is that we are talking about Ubisoft, here.

Honestly that trailer doesn't look like it needed next-gen.

I'm so tired of waiting......
now I have to wait for the next gen?
gimme a freaking break!

As there's not much else, I took some screens from the initial trailer...
Wow, she can turn partially invisible!
Looking at the screen caps I really wonder if they needed future console tech. Looking at the vid it looks like it's running at 60fps with motion blur. Given that 60 fps is not an imposed limit on the next gen system, I see the game sacrificing the feel in motion for the sake of more detail.

The video is without a doubt a conceptual proof of concept trailer using assets from the game. But it's not the actual game running in any capacity, just a pre-rendered "we want it to feel and look like this" video used for internal use primarily.
Soon!
They tried to produce it on current-gen systems, the trailer shows how it could've looked like. A next-gen version should look different.
Sounds good and makes sense. Pity we're talking about Ubisoft here.
A BG&E2 tidbit a day keeps the doctor away, right?

Really cool. I really don't know how you got that one. I wonder if these Alpha guys still play a role in this game.
Everything I see and hear about this game is making the wait more painful. Do you have source for this?
No, that's Final Fantasy Versus XIII
This may however be the new Mega Man Legends 3. Let's hope it doesn't share the same fate ultimately.
Had it on my PC for years and, while I saved it back then, I was never quite sure whether it was definitely related to this project. Only now I took a closer look at the trailer and noticed that exactly this model appeared in there.

Where did you get this?! *shifty eyes*
I don't think it matters as that's all to be found there.
Get em boys...
Ancel said at last year's E3 that he doesn't regard the Wii U as a next-gen platform, so I don't think it'll be all that likely at all. If the current rumours are true (and the Wii U only slightly more powerful than Xbox 360 and PS3), I also doubt that the Wii U will be advanced enough to run the game that's not possible on current-gen platforms.

Exactly, last years E3. Things have changed since then, dev kits have gotten quite a boost from what was originally at last years E3. He was in a interview more recently, and while didn't really comment on its power, he sounded somewhat excited about it.

Also, if Nintendo wants to "capture" the core gamer back like they claim, and gain 3rd party support back, like they claim, they almost have to have a final system thats going to be capable of running all next gen 3rd party games, the same exact games that will be running on ps4/720 hardware. They really don't have any choice if they really want to do what they say they're doing.

My heart sank when Ancel first started talking about this back in September. http://www.gamesradar.com/rayman-origins-beyond-good-evil-and-state-games-industry-interview-michel-ancel/?page=2
But whatever, I'll wait happily if it means BG&E2 is more ambitious and looks better. It really sounds like he doesn't want to have to sacrifice the scope of the world for the sequel like the team had to do with the original.
And that helicopter animation was tasty.

presuming the sequel would bear any resemblance to the original, it's not at all like uncharted, i promise.
that said i i like to think* that uncharted borrowed from beyond & good and evil what i call single player co-op. where you regularly play through missions alongside an a.i controlled character (pey'j - double h) with whom the lead exchanges light hearted dialogue during the gameplay. it's a really good way to add personality to a game and make you more attached to the other characters.
*this probably isn't true, there's other games that do this
