I somehow missed this post earlier. OMG! That looks fucking awesome! Okay, this is my Game of E3 2015!

Same here. Wish I had a decent PC to get these indie games without needing a whole new console.

Fuck that then.

Not currently but it might later if they decide to according to Miyamoto but they are cutting it close if it's due out December.

becasue of my exp with Splatoon I am convinced that the future for Nintendo is providing a friendly online experience based on pure gameplay. It's something no other ecosystem provides. So for me, a sterile single-player space sim has no appeal unless it is augmented with an online exp.

I haven't been paying much attention to E3, but it seems as if MS is trying to leverage it's Xbox brand to combat Steam.  Anyone think this will work out well for MS?  I think it might very well backfire on them, with PC games eating into home console sales of SW and HW, and no way they'll convince those pompeous PC gamers to give anything they offer a fair chance.

I've never seen Starfox referred to as a sterile space sim before. Did you not like Starfox 64 or the SNES original?

The future of Beyond Good & Evil 2 looks even more uncertain today following fresh rumours of its demise.

Speaking on a GameSpot video ahead Ubisoft’s E3 press conference, one journalist admitted that he had been informed that the game had been abandoned, although the inability to corroborate the claim with other sources prevented the publication of the story.

“What I heard was – and I wasn’t able to confirm this… it didn’t become a full news story as I couldn’t corroborate it enough to get it out there – but I’ve been told its been abandoned,” he said. “The studio has moved on, the key people from that studio that were making it have moved on to other projects outside of Ubisoft. Like I said, I might be wrong, but I have heard it’s gone.”

Furthermore, a story published yesterday on IGN – the URL for which now leads to a 404 – claimed that the game’s chief developer Michel Ancel has himself “abandoned” the project.

“Senior VP of sales and marketing at Ubisoft, Tony Key, has told IGN that Michel Ancel has abandoned development on Beyond Good & Evil 2,” a report pulled by Game Rant prior to the disappearance of the IGN story says.

“Not only has Michel Ancel left the studio working on the game, but it seems as though Beyond Good & Evil 2 has halted development altogether at this point. As Key explained when asked for an update on the title, ‘There’s just nothing to talk about right now. We don’t really have anything to say.’”

Beyond Good & Evil 2, a sequel to the 2003 original, was announced in 2008. Ancel said in 2013 that development had shifted to PS4 and Xbox One, although his own status at Ubisoft was thrown into doubt last year when he announced the formation of his own studio and new game Wild – although it was insisted that he was still working on Beyond Good & Evil 2 at Ubisoft.

Nintendo considered Monolith Soft for Star Fox Zero

"We chose Platinum just because they are so committed to creating exciting visuals. We kind of really wanted to improve the visual quality of the game.”

Job NOT done Platinum.

Am I the only one here that likes Star Fox Zero's graphics? Easily the best looking 3DS titles. IMO.

LOL

The game isn't complete Nintendo games always look better by the time the game releases. Graphics are always one of the last things Nintendo polishes before the game is released.

Well, we now know we can blame Platinum since they are handling all the graphics.

This last pic is okay apart from the ground.

This doesn't give me hope for Metroid ever being what it was back in the Prime days. This sounds like Nintendo doesn't think Retro have the guys to do it anymore.

So when would such a game be announced? And would he work with Metroid Prime developer Retro Studios again, despite the fact that many of the original staff have now moved on?

"I'm the producer of the Metroid Prime series, and [Metroid series co-creator] Yoshio Sakamoto is the one in charge of Metroid itself. I'm not sure when he's planning on making such an announcement so I can't speak for him.

"I'm not thinking about anything like that [partnering with another studio] right now. We have nothing to announce on working with any specific team."
