Everything about this trailer was a YES for me, paradise killer absolutely rocked and I’m glad they are following it up with something completely different but equally unique.

Absolutely sick of these Open World Mascot Management Crime Drama games saturating the market.

With Red Dead Redemption II selling a meagre 65m units worldwide and Take-Two's annual revenue for last year hovering at around a paltry $5.3bn, it was clearly time for the company to make some hard decisions...

Looks mad as a box of frogs wish it was a bit more colourful though looks like a mid gen xbox 360 game in how brown and grimy it looks.

I thought that’s all they’ve been doing for a decade or more? 😅

By both criteria Ubisoft can now justify another 10 years development on Beyond Good and Evil 2

Ubisoft have some sweet IP, but I'm really not interested in them if they're going to salesify them to death.

I'm imagining Driver returning since 2011, but the Ubisoft AI getting hold of it with the Prime Directive of making money.

"Welcome to {NEW SAN FRANHOLLYWOOD}, Tanner!
You need to arrest the {DRUG PIMP RACER} as soon as possible!
He's been seen in {DOWNTOWN LITTLE THAILAND}, but first you need to refuel your {1970 SWERVE CONTENDER}.
Go refuel!
You have no {FUEL BUCKS}. Earn {FUEL BUCKS} by completing driving challenges in the {DRIVING CHALLENGES) DLC or buy buying {UBIDOLLARS} using your credit card or BitCoin accounts."

This looks neat, though for all the ninja antics, the music and the weapons are reminding me more of Castlevania...

I do like the look of that. Something that would get a PS4 physical release for sure so I'm up for that.
