It doesn't matter. This sequel looks completely different than the original, and they are developing it with the intent of it being different. The same thing happened with Fallout when Fallout 3 came out, and now its a massive franchise, much bigger than it ever was before. The same could easily happen here. It was critically acclaimed by both. No offense, but your personal opinion on how the game looked has no baring on the sales viabiliy of its sequel. You thinking it looks boring means less than nothing.

Knowing Ubisoft now, and seeing the game's teaser, this is probably running the engine that was used in Syndicate/The Division, which means that it will look pheonominal. They've been working on this game for at least 7 years, so it likely won't launch as a broken mess. With the way Ubisoft handles game narratives, it will be far more involved when it comes to writing and far more cinematic, which this gaming generation eats up. This generation also eats up strong female protagonists, so they have the advantage there. The setting in BGE is breathtaking and unique, and that will translate pheonominally to the realistic AssCreed engine. Having that cyberpunk style world with the realistic anthromorphic animals, all rendered in an open world will be absolutely eaten up, especially with the titular narrative themes of conspiracy and big brother laced in. It may as well be Ubisoft's answer to Horizon - Zero Dawn.

If Nintendo gets this, it will be a massive win for them. Absolutely massive. Especially if its made using the AssCreed engine, which it looks like it is. People are going to positively fawn over this game when it's revealed, and if its revealed exclusively on NX, that fawning will transfer over to that platform. Getting BGE2 will make the Bayo2 get look like childs play by comparison. It's a huge get, and this it the time where people like this stuff.

This is what people and journalists said about the first game as well and look how low it sold lol. The game sold less than Bayonetta 2 it didnt even cross the half million mark on 4 platfoms, like i said it was not a memorable game so it cant be that good. It will be irellevant as an exclusive for Nintendo

Start listening at 6 min. This is the Destructoid writer who dropped this leak, and she both confirms that Ubisoft asked her to take the article down and details the validity of the second much more reliable source, who was able to "confirm some important bits of information to back this up."

Again, this is Destructoid. They use far more scrutiny when starting rumors because they have far more to lose when its wrong. Same with IGN, Gamespot, etc. I believe this 100%, not because of Geno, but because of the other source.
