Zelda: BOTW is a Nintendo made game that only needs to sell 2M to be considered successful. Western studios work in different ways. Games like Tomb Raider needed 5M to break even. Big AAA games are expensive. Unless BG&E2 will be a completely different game from the first one ofcourse.

This is coming from someone who has not played the first game nor knows much about the game but I saw a review of it. It looks a little bit like a Zelda game, and has similar aspects. I do not think it will sell much just because of that element TBH. Nintendo do not need games similar to the ones they already make. If they turned BG&E 2 into more of an action game with a more realistic approach, it may sell better even though some aspects may be different.

I think you have that info wrong dear,  after 2m the game is profitable so 2m is to pay for the development cost, so to make money they need a lot more than 2m, which is going to be easy for this zelda. But why? not because the games are cheaply made, but because their biggest team just have 200 developers, while games like tomb raider and assassin's creed have a lot more developers, sometimes even 1000 developers because they are making the games for  3 platforms and a shorter period of time, not 5 years. Exclusive games don't need that quantity of developers.

It's going to be a modern game and very different, bg&e is too outdated to make another game with the same formula.

So you are saying that Ubisoft has been working on BG&E2 for like 4 years for the Switch? or that it wont come out until like 2020?

I hope to see it look more like an action game, less cartoony and more of a hack and slash with puzzle elements. Similar to the style of Hyrule Warriors, but implimenting some tactical gameplay. Sort of like Warframe.

That would just create a lot of hate for both Nintendo and Ubisoft. Some people have wanted a sequel for years. Turning it into something else would piss people off. I sure as hell wouldnt buy it if they turned it into some action game.
