Support NeoGAF

[Net_Wrecker]

There's no way this is a Cowboy Bebop game, all the gas nebulae are way too colorful, but omg those vibes. An "open galaxy" space trucker/dogfight/shooter/melee combat CB game is one of my dream games.

 

[Easy_D]

The shots of space reminded me of Homeworld. Whatever it is, the art is great.

 

[OfficerZap]

Reminds me of Rebel Galaxy.

 

[John Kowalski]

Didn't you guys read that "Do Not Distribute" warning? Why are you distributing it??

 

[Tovarisc]

Didn't you guys read that "Do Not Distribute" warning? Why are you distributing it??

Because we are rebels. We are hackers. We are GAF.

Or something like that.

 

[Kazuhira]

Reminds me of No Man's Sky *shudders*

 

[EL CUCO]

Ubisoft making the NMS we deserve

 

[Zubz]

So for context this is part of a mission in Watch_Dogs 2

Spoiler

where you hack and leak a Ubisoft game

, so this may not be actually anything real unless Ubisoft wants to be incredibly meta with this.

If they truly wanted you to leak a fake game, wouldn't they do something that was obviously fake, like hacking "Blubisoft" to leak the newest "Ass Creed" game?

They chose to make this a game you leak from Ubisoft, and it doesn't even state what game you're leaking through the trailer. They wouldn't have been so minimalist with this clip if it was real.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Didn't you guys read that "Do Not Distribute" warning? Why are you distributing it??

Yeah, because actual NDAs and distribution warnings have stopped us before :0

 

[NealMcCauley]

NMS and this seem to share the same inspirations in terms of old scifi art. Not talking about the gameplay or OST obviously, but the colors and design.


edit: other games like Homeworld also went down this route.

Thanks for posting this. A couple years ago I had to process a big collection of donated sci-fi monthlys for work and I think its the designs that stirred my memory. For lack of a better description its hopeful and calm imo.

 

[Zubz]

Yeah, because NDAs and distribution warnings have stopped us before.

Wait.

Oh yeah, side-note. Is that "Do Not Distribute" actually in the game? I'd assume so; it'd add to the whole "you are the leaker" theme this mission seems to have.

I mean, this is a teaser for a new AAA IP hidden inside of an existing one. There's no way this wasn't meant to be shared.

 

[Obliterator]

I'm just gonna echo what everyone else said, this sure looks like No Man's Sky.

That said I would love to see them give that type of game a shot. With their enormous staff's they could probably come much closer to making that a reality

 

[Avinexus]

Stylistically very appealing if it is actually marketing for a new IP and not just an in-game thing.

 

[Obliterator]

Now that I think about it, wasn't there rumors that Ubisoft was indeed building a new Sci-Fi IP? I'm almost positive I heard that maybe a bit before E3.

If so this sure seems to back that up

 

[Aikidoka]

Maybe it is Beyond Good & Evil 2. Weren't the rumors about it taking place on a different planet, so could be the space travel. Anyways, it's a cool marketing idea.

 

[JaseC]

Ubi did confirm back in February that it'd release a new AAA IP before next March, but that appears to have been in reference to Steep.

 

[tebunker]

Wish we could have gotten some kind of music credits as I'd like to hunt down more of that

 

[Obliterator]

Yep but there were rumors floating about a Ubi sci-fi IP being worked on, I'm almost sure of it.

But why would they announce a Nintendo-exclusive on a non-Nintendo game?

Spoiler

Half Sarcasm

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

Somebody should run this by Laura Kate Dale if we're speculating this to be BG&E.

 

[JaseC]

Yep but there were rumors floating about a Ubi sci-fi IP being worked on, I'm almost sure of it.

A cursory Google search just brought up what I mentioned as well as some speculation regarding Osiris (which, depending on where you stand, was either a cancelled PoP game or a very early look at next year's AssCreed Empires), but I hardly dug deep.

 

[Woorloog]

 

[FlammableAce]

Some context

This wasn't a main story mission, It was a (hidden?) side mission that opened up after I stumbled upon a guy on the phone who happened to be a Ubisoft employee talking about Assassins Creed Syndicate, Unity and "Osiris" leaks.

This is why I think this is a real game, why mention other real games only to then show a fake game made just for Watch Dogs?

(The building also had an Assassins creed movie poster on it)

 

[LoveCake]

That does look interesting, atmosphere and style something like 2001 (the film).

Wow, thats pretty funny.

 

[FarFromAnyGame]

I still wish they had made a new pirate IP after Black Flag

Black Flag director has been working on a "new IP" since they released Black Flag. Chances are it's a pirate game.

 

[sjay1994]

No, if the Empire rumors are true he is most likely the creative director on that.

He has gone on record saying he really wanted to make an Assassins Creed game in Ancient Egypt

 

[User 479360]

Looks super boring if so.

 

[Eolz]

Looks super boring if so.

We see absolutely nothing apart the visual style of the setting.

Yes, literally my dream game. Hopefully if it is that someone mods it to look like Cowboy Bebop/Outlaw Star

 

[J.G.]

This is a tiny hope, but I really want to believe Clint Hocking is working on this; it's been nearly 8 years since he's released a game -_-

 

[CHC]

I am very interested in this.

 

[Mercador]

Reminds me of Rebel Galaxy.

Me too

Cowboy Bebop

 

[TheHollowNight]

oh, huh, finally this is starting to get teased. Knew very little about it just before I left ubi over two years ago and never actually saw any in-game stuff. Interesting!

 

[LelouchZero]

Way to ignore the watermark. Just contacted Ubisoft. Hope you're ready to pay a fine.

No Man's Fine.

 

[mercenar1e]

I like the way they're showing it off. Im not sure if it's going to be more like Star Citizen or No Mans Sky.

 

[Grandius]

#TeamReal?..Please?..

 

[EscapeArtist]

So glad I popped in here and the first thing I saw was people talking about Cowboy Bebop. This is almost definitely not a Cowboy Bebop game, but if it can be anywhere close to that vibe I'm totally down.

 

[PFD]

I think it actually makes a lot of sense for a huge publisher to try their hand at a game like No Man's Sky because interest was huge, and they actually have enough staff to deliver.

I would definitely get behind that

 

[TheHollowNight]

#TeamReal?..Please?..

Pretty sure it's real, like I said, I only heard rumblings of a big space game as they keep stuff on tight lockdown even between studios, so my knowledge ends at that sadly.

Very certain it's not related to Cowboy Bebop though.

 

[Salty Rice]

Im honest reading the the title i was interested but after watching that thing im just meh.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Looks interesting to me.

 

[Sojgat]

Yeah, thought I was hearing Forever Broke for a second and just about had a heart attack.

Who said they're not?

 

[Fancy Clown]

wow, big ol cowboy bebop vibes

 

[User 479360]

It looks like a boring space sim.

Ubisoft and big space game is enough for me to be excited!

 

[Deleted member 80556]

There's another thing where

Spoiler

a Ubisoft developer complains about how their AC games are getting leaked, he specifically says Unity, Syndicate, and Osiris. Even more evidence for the Egypt setting.

Hehe, I hope he said that on way to the airport!

Those press sneak fucks.

I don't think it will be a Bebop game, nor do I want a Bebop game. I do think it is heavily influence by Bebop.

 

[newtypepilot]

looks like a sci-fi digging game
