I saw a couple things regarding Beyond Good and Evil 2.

https://kotaku.com/what-beyond-good-evil-2-is-now-and-what-its-creators-1796116469 has a clip of really seamless surface to orbit looking stuff.

The second was watching Giant Bomb at Nite tonight and hearing them all trash the gently caress out of it. They said it's a tech demo for an incomplete game that's been delayed forever and compared it unfavorably to No Man's Sky. There was also some stuff about taking a picture of a pig and showing it to another pig and that second pig saying it knows the first pig, which sounds an awful lot like star citizen's supposed AI fantasy.

Here's the thing that differentiates BG&E2 from Star Citizens: no consumer is on the hook for hundreds or thousands of dollars for it. If it flops or never makes it out of development hell or whatever it doesn't hurt a single person outside of the companies involved and their stakeholders. It seems like the kind of game I'd be into if it came out, but if it doesn't then I don't incur any penalty. And should I decide to pre-order it, I will only suffer to the tune of $59.99.

Also, having recently finished one of the paths in NMS and sinking like 70 hours in, it's fun for what it is, I found a space dinosaur yesterday and a couple planets with creatures that looked like cocks and balls combined hopping around on their scrotums, which made me giggle.

Yeah, it had me quite confused too, even though I've been waiting for the sequel for ages. And now... It's a prequel? But it has some sort of cult of Pey'j? Because reasons? Is Ansel even directing this one?

At least they went proper potty mouth, this is how you know it's a dystopian future. Ah well, I'll still play it. Goddamn it, Ubisoft.

Yeah, I know, but didn't he have a meltdown a while ago and said he'll quit if they don't let him work on his own pet project (BG&E2)? I might be remembering it wrong.

That's true, I've been shirking my official duty pretty hard. I blame my wife, she's usually the one who takes all the pictures of him.

CHEATER PLAYER

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1 Find this cheater
2 Fight him

ACTUAL RESULT
I expected to fairly fight this person.

EXPECTED RESULT
So I am chilling on an asteroid when I get attacked by this Constellation. At first I dont think anythings up; just another player trying his hand at combat. Well, I expend 2 missiles which are direct hits, as he's immobilized I lay into him with my QUAD MANTIS load out, and almost nothing happens. We go back and forth, hes launching missiles, I'm hitting him a LOT, and hes not exploding.

I've had the quad mantis set up for a while now, I am use to killing with them and I am confident this player was cheating, as I expended ALL my ammunition on him, yet he still flies away almost unharmed.

I was put up against a cheater. I know so because I expended the entirety of my ammo (Quad Mantis') with at least 60% accuracy, I have gone against many a player and killed them with less, when they were in better ships.

Plus, after he attacks and decides to retreat, his crimestat *magically* disappears.

Frankly the kotaku article has made me worried.Ancel is archering CR quotes

quote:

“I’m changing the time,” Ancel said as he then zoomed out so that the camera pulled back from the atmosphere into outer space. Many games have day/night cycles, but in this demo, “Changing the time” meant actually making the planet rotate on its axis as it moved around a star,causing the light from the star to hit the surface differently. “There is a universal simulation,” he said. “There are galaxies. It’s not just changing the color of the sun. Everything is rotating.”

quote:

“When you see a sunset in Beyond Good and Evil 2, that’s a real sunset,” producer Guillaume Brunier added. “It’s not just some lights our artists put there.”

quote:

Ancel zoomed back in. He could go from a surface-level view and back out into space in no time, with no loading screens.


quote:

Brunier described encounters with the makers of other gaming tech that wasn’t equipped to do coffeehouse-to-cosmos zooming. “When we work with other guys on other engines and we say we need to travel 20,000 kilometers per hour on the planet, they say, ‘What are you talking about?’ When we say, ‘We need to display special effects at 200km away from the player, they don’t… they are not doing these kinds of things usually.’

quote:

Exploration will span the galaxy, as the developers want players to zip across planets from city to city and fly from planet to planet. All of the content can’t be hand-made, so Ancel explained that the developers will, to an extent, use random generation. They will hand-make some content and let the computer do some of the other. Many of you reading are probably having No Man’s Sky flashbacks right now, but Ancel actually referenced Dwarf Fortress as an inspiration. The beloved, hardcore PC game generates new societies with their own mythology and history. “We have some techniques that allows us to populate the planet in a logical way,” Ancel said.
hand crafted procedural tech :negative:


Ancel does have better track record than CR. But it does sound too similar to CR and has me worried.
Hopefully those pre alpha tech demo modules will put my mind in ease. (any bet's that you can buy access to those tech demos?)
