Make it Wii U exclusive for the lulz.
Jokes aside, I'm glad it's finally happening. Although I will believe it when I see it, they've been teasing this game since forever now.

I think we still need 7 more Prince of Persia reboots and 32 more Assassin's Creeds before we can get a BG&E2.
Cue the Wii U is current gen jokes.
I wouldn't even mind it on the Wii U. Just get it out to me now.
No, that'll be FFVII-U for the mega-lulz.
Ancel is getting real familiar with Wii U with the extra dev time for Rayman, so that's at least a point in favor of a Wii U version. No way it'd be exclusive, though. Nintendo ain't funding this one! (See: Bayonetta 2)

I'm putting money on it being Wii U exclusive. If they've been making for this long on current-gen tech, that's the only way they'll get attention.
They ceased current gen development because Ancel couldn't do what he wanted on PS3/360 due to lack of power. Unless he's changed his mind due to the gamepad, that seems unlikely.

News on the sequel to my 3rd favorite game of all time?
In all seriousness does anyone expect anything else from this game other than it being another assassin's creed-ish clone? I mean even Watch Dogs is basically assassin's creed.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
That doesn't make sense? :confused

More like we're hoping.

Well, Wii U is confirmed to be more powerful than the HD twins, is it not?

Not by any huge measure, unlike PS4/Nextbox. If anyone thinks they'll make this a Wii U exclusive, they've gone off the deep end.
*opens can of worms*
Yeah, pretty sure it was just a joke. FFVII-U, though ...

Ehhh, I'm not necessarily saying it will happen, I am just saying it might. The system is more powerful, allows for more inventive possibilities via Miiverse/Wii U pad, Ancel loves it and is thoroughly familiar with it, Ubisoft has already pledged exclusive support to the system... it's not as out of the question as you'd think.
Hopefully not. Even though it does seem like Ubisoft is copy/pasting the assassin's creed foundation to every game they make.
Never played assassin's creed but seeing Watch Dogs look a'lot like it, made me already not wan't Watch Dogs.
Wii U version isn't out of the question. Wii U exclusive is out of the question. Maybe you missed the reason for the Rayman delay?
If you ever do, start with 2. Started it for the historical and architectural references. Kept playing it because it's a pretty great game.

I thought the first game was the best modern rendition of the Zelda formula. I hope it keeps expanding on that. I loved that it had some Zelda elements but it nailed the pacing and had its own unique feel.shinobi602

It is absolutely out of the question IMO. The amount of investment gone into this game demands a multiplatform release. There's no way in hell they'll recoup their costs by going platform exclusive, and one that is doing horribly in sales at the current moment to boot.
If it happens, I'll eat a big chocolate hat.
The leaked footage looked a hell of a lot like Watch_Dogs and AC3. The free-running, the cutting through houses, even the roll was literally the exact animation being used in Watch_Dogs.
Which is OK with me!

Haha, okay. It doesn't matter to me either way.
Most likely will be PS4/Xbox/Wii U/PC release. Might be on Vita too.

As long as Ancel's at the helm, I don't think it will run into the problems AC has.
This might be because all three use the same animation middleware...
Well, like I said, it's fine with me. I was under the impression Ubi does motion-capture for sll these games separately.
I have a strange, long history with this Beyond Good and Evil game. I downloaded the demo on psn back in 2010 and LOVED it. Alas, it took me two and a half years to buy the game. Saw it on sale on psn for $5 about two weeks ago. Didn't think twice about it.
Now that I've beaten it, I can't WAIT for sequel, although I'm a little scared that Ubisoft is going to mess it up somehow by taking the series way from its' roots. That weird demo with Jade running around the city felt too.... Assassin's Creed-ish... =/

It's gonna be an open world with incredible animations and a lot of parkour.
Ubisoft seems to like these things, lately.

"It's coming."
(zombiu2 featuring bono next pls)
pretty sure lots of fans and their wallets just did too
This.
Don't mind about exclusive, in any case. Just hope to see it also on Wii U cause I actually have one and the camera would work really good with the Gamepad.

Great news, but I highly doubt they would they make it a Wii U exclusive. Coming to Wii U? Sure, why not? Exclusive wouldn't make sense from a financial standpoint for a niche game like BG&E2 unless Nintendo coughs up a plethora of cash which I doubt. I am sure they would want to reach as many potential customers as possible.
