Rumor [LPVG]: New BG&E 2 details, teaser trailer coming w/NX reveal, summer 2018

Remember reading somewhere (forget from who) that Nintendo were planning more collaborations with other publishers, lending out their IPs, as well as well as funding more projects. If true, we should see the results for all of that with the NX. That as well as combining the library for their handheld/console should be interesting if everything works out.

I really don't think that it's going to be NX exclusive.

Either way I can't wait to find out.

If the game was well and truly dead and Nintendo offered to fund it, why wouldn't it be an exclusive? This is another Bayo 2 situation where neither the IP owner or another console partner wanted to pony up the cash.

I'm not a conspiracy theory guy, but If this really a Bayonetta style NX exclusive, you wonder if Ubi was itching to get this out there expecting a NX reveal in the fall.

When it became clear the reveal wasn't happening when they thought, they went ahead with the teasers on their own.

So this person was Laura's source for the initial Destructoid report back in March?

They were one, but a secondary source was also used per the article. From my understanding of the article back in March, Geno tipped them about the story and she then investigated it and was able to get a secondary source that shared information that lined up with the tip they had received.

That would be great news if true.

I want to believe, but she said somewhere in the beginning of the year that they were working on it, and then we found out that it only got greenlight like two weeks ago, with maybe a cgi at the reveal (speculation is they'd have to be really fucking quick with it). So it just seems like some kind of vague rumor/guess that partially panned out and now she's doubling down on it.

Here's hoping it's true still, but I'm back on the fence.

as much as it minda miffs me that they are apparantly shunning the sequel route for now, but im also excited to see what can be done with modern tech regardless.

That seems to line up to me. A lot of projects aren't going to be greenlit based on name alone, some preliminary work has to be done first.

You do realize this Geno guy literally just took an old rumor from 4chan and claimed it as it's own?

you mean like Street Fighter? yeah
I like how some of you cherry pick my posts and ignore my other detailed post also talking about SFV which is not exclusive as it is on both PC/PS4 not just one platform and that one could potentially could later come to other platforms aswell

At the end of the video it is also mentioned that Nintendo might also be interested in funding additional sequels. Maybe gives more credit for the Bayonetta 3 rumors? Maybe they just want to create some kind of audience for these games on their platform and then continue building it.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
that great but disney own the rights to kingdom hearts not square so if want sqaure wanted to port kh3 to nx they needed apporval from disney first

Yeah Disney was fine with KH BbS and a bunch of spin-offs but will go crazy if SE dares to put a KH3 port on NX...lol what are we even discussing here ?

I posted it before in another thread but Ancel did say they would release NX games that made sense to the Nintendo audience.

The Nintendo audience is clamoring for Zelda and it will undoubtedly be the highest selling launch title.

Releasing a Zelda like game like BG&E would definitely be audience appropriate.

I'll respond to this post because it's shorter but first of all Capcom has flat out denied the possibility of SFV going to other platforms and I really wouldn't hold my breath on the Shenmue front.

It also seems arbitrary to me that two platforms is acceptable whilst one is not. Does that mean if MS and Nintendo both pitched in to fund say... Devil May Cry 5 and it was XBO/NX that would be fine? It's not exclusive after all, it's on two platforms.
 
The NX rumours have been too hard for me not to want all of them to be true

I am going to be depressed when Nintendo fails to deliver matching the rumors

Yeah. Additionally, I do actually think it will be multiplat, but Nintendo will get the marketing rights.

Now that's a good question!
Unless of course, only some platforms are allowed...

If this is a reboot, one thing is for sure. Machine's not going to be under powered. Otherwise, why remake something to that extent on an equally or slightly more powerful system than the previous version?

That's certainly one way to make me buy a fucking NX if it has no BC. Looking forward to the meltdowns, Bayo 2 style, if this turns out to be true.

True, but that first leak was extremely premature then. Though not impossible of course. It is a surprising thing to be right on.
