Also best forget Laura Kate Dale's Switch exclusivity rumor at this point
She has probably the single best record of the Nintendo insiders.
Also best forget Laura Kate Dale's Switch exclusivity rumor at this point
That's why I'm not writing off what she's said yet. She's still saying it's a Switch exclusive as recently as earlier in the week
She has probably the single best record of the Nintendo insiders.
She also said it's going to be a 2018 game, and from the way Ancel is talking, it doesn't sound like it's going to make that date if they can't get out of preproduction by the start of next year.Hilarious how some of you are picking and choosing which rumors you want to believe from Laura.
I'm going to believe it's Switch exclusive like she said. She's gotten everything right about the Switch so far. Why would I all of a sudden believe different because of what Ancel said? Idc what these devs say.
Missed that.The only thing giving me a bit of pause right now about Laura is her backing up the Uncharted 4 DLC rumor which has been disputed by Shinobi and mocked by Press Sneak Fuck. Well, there is the fact that the rumor has changed since she first reported it.
I was with her on NX all the way, but this one doesn't feel right.Hilarious how some of you are picking and choosing which rumors you want to believe from Laura.

Haven't seen any of the usual back this up unlike the Rabbids x Mario or Pokémon Stars
Don't want to end up disappointed or whatever
Beyond Good & Evil wasn't that massive of a game. It was developed by a really small team and from what Ancel has said in the past, they will try to keep the team as small as possible for this sequel as well by creating tools & ways to create content efficientlyThere's no reason to make the sequel to a niche franchise whose first entry bombed a massive and expensive game.
Didn't they say to expect it within 3-4 years as well? Isn't this what happened to the original version of BG&E2 which became too ambitious for the old hardware?

Yeah, tbh Ancel could've been being coy when asked if it ran on Switch so I don't put much in that last quote at all, but the game sounds a) that it is a long time coming and b) that it is pushing tech. He does focus on CPU, which is an area where I imagine Switch will outdo PS4/XBOne but that's a bit of a stretch. I guess a Nintendo money hat could explain the long time coming part but only now in development despite this generation being well on its way (when he's citing its tech as making it possible). But still, the language sounds multiplatform and big market ambitions.
The game sounds like a PS4/XBOne/(PC/Switch) release to me.
...
Also, just because a leaker gets a lot right and has generally good sources, doesn't mean she can't be wrong now and again.
"Interplanetary travel" clearly means something outside the scope of Star Fox 64 if Ancel is being genuine in claiming that he didn't have the tech previously to do what he wanted."Interplanetary travel" doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be this big open-world space game now. Star Fox 64 had "interplanetary travel."
"Interplanetary travel" is a meaningless buzz word. Don't take it so literally.
I would honestly. It seems like he has too much invested to cancel it. Might get slowed down even further though.At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if Wild is cancelled.

Anyways, I reeeeeeeally hope it's not exclusive to any platform, especially not Nintendo's. Nintendo fans do not buy third party games much. This IP can not afford another bomb. I like the idea of playing BG&E2 on a handheld though, so I hope it's released on it as a multiplat title.
I'm tired of this "Nintendo fans don't buy third party games" bullshit.

Is it time to be worried yet?
Day 1
Wow if this really does end up being exclusive to switch the crow and meltdowns will be LEGENDARY!!!! (Kung-fu panda voice).
Maybe not so much as Bayonetta. BG&E is targeted at yonger audiences. The mature anime crowd won't let it go if they buy systems for Japanese stuff. I think its because we are getting mostly Western titles.Wow if this really does end up being exclusive to switch the crow and meltdowns will be LEGENDARY!!!! (Kung-fu panda voice).
The reasoning is just that it sounds like this game is going to take so long to make that it'll end up being a game for the next gen of consoles.l don't get it. What's the reasoning behind Ancel's words contradicting BG&E2 on the Switch? People think the Switch can't run modern games? Even if it's not an exclusive the game will end up on the system anyway. The french guy who first revealed the Mario/Rabbids crossover also said BG&E2 would be released on Switch.
