I am still in awe that a sequel was even announced.
The fact that it looks so damn good so far is just the cherry on top.

in game assets, rendered with much more complex lighting model ( radiosity / photon mapping ?) better aa and filters and more post processing effects would be my guess.
obviously those animation are not what you can expect in game either. newer animation techniques are doing a decent to good job blending movements together, but you can't expect those results this gen, or maybe ever, unless they make the game totally unresponsive and have you input commands seconds before they're displayed onscreen.

This cant be real...
With the power of the systems, it should be real...but it just cant be...

What a nice thing to wake up to.
The overall quality of the vid proves that it could only be done by professionals. The only thing that feels "not BG&E" about this is the cars we see at some point. They have wheels like normal cars. Then again, there was no road in Hyllis, so obviously everyone had to float/hover/fly.
What's more striking is, if we look at the last infos we've had on the game from Ancel himself, everything fits : http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=357298
I immediatly thought it was CGI, because of the camera. I was like "no way a camera would move like that in a game of course" (Edit : Gowans says it better than me
). But Mister Thread also has something to say about that : Further in the interview Ancel says that they need new tools, and that they can't (and wont) begin the actual production of the game as long as they don't get them right, and he does mention "a new camera system" as an example.
Let's say they pull off the camera thing. I still say it's CGI, because the game is still in pre-production, and there's no way they've done this far into graphics at this stage.
And some animations seem to pre-calculated, I'm thinking of the way she bumps into walls when running into this house of some sort.
It's funny because some other animations look pretty game-ish.
Anyway even if it's only a CGI target render I'm still very happy, because looking back to BG&E's rooftop chase, I'm sure they can pull of something as dynamic as that in the real game, maybe not as fluid though (the game is supposed to be open-world).

Dont worry, its comin...we here at GAF think screens and resolution are all that matter.Rei_Toei said:
Maybe I should quote that too :
So maybe this isn't taking place on Hyllis.
Hell, maybe this isn't even Jade. See how since the beginning they've been reluctant to show us her face ?
I know, the quote above says "continuation".Well, translations always suck anyway

Maybe it's a prequel, and this is Jade's mother. After all, Jade's parents knew Pey'j, and we know they gave him their baby because they had "trouble with authorities", and then Pey'j took baby Jade to Hyllis.
Plus the repeted mention in the first game of the "campaign of Thaïr" (whatever that is) by Jade's camera without even explaining what the hell this is shows the universe/characters already had a significant backstory when it was released.

That's a polite way of putting it.
Is this confirmed to be BG&E related yet? It seems to have an indian theme, even down to the flag colours on the helicopters at the end.
MNC said:When people say realtime, do they mean rendered in-game engine, or actually played in game engine? Because it could very much be in-game engine... sans the whole FUCKING AWESOME 60fps
Also, I hope it's Jade you get to play, and not [see spoiler tag above somewhere]
Don't worry, I self-invalidated my point
Well, except for the "other planet" stuff, but that's pretty much a given with the two vids we've seen, clearly this isn't Hyllis.

There really isnt any reason a game in this day and age shouldnt look like that in motion...especially from ubisoft.
I don't think it's the animations that give it away. Yes an animation can look this good in game, the problem is, in this video the game looks to be running at 120 fps or similar, making it look super smooth, which gives it away that, although it could be running from in game, it won't be looking this smooth when its actually released. Nothing wrong with that, it just tries to show the target game play their aiming for, but don't elude yourself thinking the game we'll be this smooth.

Its the pc version.DGaio said:

Believe.
I'm believing so hard.
Also do people not realize this could be a different part of Hillys or, holy shit get this, a different planet all together? Holy shit Jade isnt sneaking and taking photos, this gaem wil suks!!!
Also were are the claiming its in game? Looks like a proof of concept trailer to me.

I like your theory, sounds plausible enough. The scar on Pey'j face is the only thing that may hint its not a prequel as he didn't have one in the first game.
A sequel doesn't explain how Pey'j is OK after we see he has been infected by the DomZ at the end credits if BG&E.

When you're making a sequel (prequel whatever) in a much-beloved game, you better make sure it looks like the game you love, not something else entirely. I still have 100% faith that this game will be spectacular, but based on this particular (obviously not ingame) footage it really doesn't look like BG&E. The vibe is totally different. Again, not knocking it, I just hope they remember what made the first one so great.
DGaio said:
Poor console gamers don't even know what 60 fps looks like.
If it is real time it is obviously being run on a PC. Even if it was running at 120 fps you couldn't tell because the video is only encoded at 60 fps and most likely your screen can only update 60 times a second.
AniHawk said:
Likely. I didnt expect BG&E2 to take place on Hillys tbh. And I expect games like AC and ME to influence its design. It'll probably still have a better stealth mechanic than AC though I kinda worry about the whole camera/reporter angle being left by the wayside.
Jade being an investigative photojournalist is one of the best parts of the first game. The way it plays into the story is pretty amazing when you get down to it (I typed up several paragraphs on the matter a month ago, but it was too long, I so I stuck with bashing Okami's low points instead).
abstract alien said:
Just so you know, Michel Ancel refused to comment on any platforms.
And, everything Ancel's team has done in the past was only consoles. For example the PC version of King Kong wasn't made by them.
I don't know anything better than you, but since "pc version" is mentionned a lot in this thread I thought it would be worth stating.
BG&E without investigations ? What the hell would this even be :/
That's the one thing they can't drop.
Not answering you in particular, but what I see in this trailer is an investigation gone bad that ends up in a chase, like the rooftop one in the first game.

Looks nothing like BG&E but still looks cool, the original was a very artsy looking game, this looks like an impressive realistic game with no color.

Yup, looks like the same design. What happened to the hover cars?
