Beyond good and evil 2 tech demo12/15/2023 ![]() “We don’t really want to create something crazy with an adventure generator… it’s simple, but you have a lot of freedom in the way of solving things. “I would say the adventure system is classic,” Ancel says. While the game will be procedurally generated to some extent, however, its story will be anything but. We know there are things, but we don’t know exactly where they are, we don’t know exactly what it is,” he adds. “Even us, we don’t know exactly what’s on this planet. We can say, ‘this part of the planet has those kinds of resources,’ and depending on those things, kind of emergent things… today, we can hand-craft everything, or we can decide to have a kind of robot that is going to calculate the history of the planet. “Everything is alive, in fact, it’s not pre-scripted. “Cities can grow by themselves, they can be destroyed, they can connect to others,” he says. Even with today’s technology, creating a game world the size of a star system is still a potentially daunting task, one that Ancel says is being undertaken with a mix of hand-crafted design and procedural generation. This is the scale Ancel and his team had hoped to work in when creating the original Beyond Good and Evil, he says, but it wasn’t possible given the technology at the time. Every centimeter needs to be very precise.” ![]() That’s the kind of challenge we need to face for the game. “Precise from space to one millimeter of distance, to see all the details. “Just to show you the kind of issues we are facing with the sizes, we need to have something like that,” he says, indicating the statue. (You won’t necessarily play as Knox Ancel says the player’s hero will be a created character, and can be male or female depending on your preference.) Using Knox’s jetpack, he flies up close to the statue, hovering inches away so that we can see the detail hammered into the bronze. He then gets out of the little ship as Knox, the monkey-human hybrid who starred in the trailer. So it’s really logical, in fact, that you can see different colors.” “If you know what a sunset is, a sunset is modification of the color of the sun depending on the angle in the atmosphere. “When you see the sunset, it’s not just colors, it’s the real sun going into this position,” says Ancel. He then zooms back to the statue, so we can see the effect from the ground. And there is a simulation of the universe, where everything is rotating in the classical way, so if you change the time you see the rotation.”Īs Ancel speaks, he speeds up time in the demo, and the nearby planets and stars begin moving relative to the little planetoid we had occupied – including the sunlight, as days pass rapidly. “You see that we are just on top of a gigantic planet, which is in fact a little satellite of a bigger planet, with cities and the dark. Ubisoft has established itself as the king of open-world games and so I believe they can pull it off.“You can see that that city is just a little part of a huge world,” says Ancel. Knowing Ubisoft I will give a more optimistic estimate with a 2020 release date. That means it could still be as many as 3 years until we get a finished product. The footage is still described as early alpha. Now, while I believe we will see more of Beyond Good and Evil 2 at E3 a release will be far in the future. Well, I am sure the game will have a fantastic story. Sadly, what he says is barely understandable, but the gist is there is a reason why pirates hide in caves. He explains some of the context of the pirating aspect. One of the developers showcasing where Beyond Good and Evil 2 is headed is Michel Ancel – the developer of the first game. It will be possible to fly in an armada and even in formation. To ease some fears the developers have emphasized how players can co-operate. It is interesting that two developers use the same technique independently. This concept appears similar to Star Citizen. Meaning every time you visit a place you will see the same – it is not randomly generated. It sports a computer generated world that nonetheless stays constant. & amp lt span data-mce-type=”bookmark” style=”display: inline-block width: 0px overflow: hidden line-height: 0 ” class=”mce_SELRES_start”& amp gt & amp lt /span& amp gt īeyond Good and Evil 2 has embraced the open-world concept completely. The montage also show more of what the player will be flying, including small backpack thrusters intended to inspect locals more closely. The 3 minute montage reveals shots of the protagonists fighting with sticks, dual blades and as a team. I did a preview of the game during last years E3 show ( you can read it here) in which a senior developer showed footage of a tech demo. ![]() This gives us the first indication of the direction the game is set to take. Today, Ubisoft released footage of early-alpha gameplay. One of the games I am most excited about, besides Cyberpunk 2077, is Beyond Good and Evil 2. Beyond Good and Evil 2 new gameplay footage 2018
