BG&E 2 Progress Stream tomorrow at Noon ET, on Youtube, Twitch, and Facebook. (Ubisoft).
The Game Awards I'm guessing are probably in the evening.
And I think Sony's PSX press conference is sometime Friday, with a weekend event?

Space Monkey Report #1 Live Stream
(Volume Warning, especially for the first 5 minutes.)
Concept Art throughout
11:00 - Trailer Easter Eggs overview 32:00 - Concept Art falls off the wall and knocks something over. It's pretty funny.  34:00 - A seemingly pretty impressive Hybrid Character Creation video. (Biped, of course). Think Animorphs level sliders. The head transformation seems pretty impressive. 38:00 - "Ancestor/DNA system"? Knox's parents died? (Don't know if this is dynamic at all, or if this is how they're laying out the world.) 40:00 - Vehicles/Customization/Decals video (Multiple players can fly in formation with autopilot, with 1 person leading.) Dev Team is 3x larger since E3 & Space Monkey launch. Progress is on City. (Not procedural? Not sure they can fully pull off not having procedural stuff, but we'll see.) BG&E Was supposed to be a trilogy. This wasn't supposed to be a prequel, but they feel that they should do that now. No real "Secundo" replacement. Secundo was Jade's "AI" companion seen in the very first cutscenes of the first game. |

World document timeline (All before 14:00) 2040 (Earth) - Golden Age of Science (space propulsion engine) 2063 - Earth Crisis - AI no longer trustworthy 2086 - First Talking Hybrid: Pey'J-E527 2108 - Exodus to Systems 1,2,3,4,5 - Leaving Earth - No contact with Earth. 2225 - Foundation of Ganesha City, not actually on Earth but... also shaped like India as seen from space. 1 Solar System in game (System 3). 2314 - Mysterious Giant Ship Massacre 2360 - Golden Age of Piracy ? - Birth of Jade - Not sure if he misspoke, but said Jade born before BGE2 story starts. Concept art of mother (from trailer) being attacked or disintegrating, at least losing arms? (But again confirmed full answer to BG&E1 cliffhanger, since this is still a prequel.) Very tiny new cutscene clips in 16:00 Crew members have roles. (or.... at least some of them do.) 20:00 - Showed physical drawing of BGE1 concept art of the space gateway seen in the map at the end of the BG&E2 trailer, though this one was on a planet back then. 22:00 - Short gameplay footage of melee combat (just with currently known characters) physically on top of ships up in the air over the city. Small glimpses of actual ship combat (though including unoptimized performance). Will be more at E3, which is... already next month.
Actually some more bits of footage here (but maybe some very small bits missing that are in the stream clip.

What?... Well, Ok then.... I'm glad I listened to an audio recording I grabbed of the final boss battle from the first game last night. (Spoiler) - There's a chance that Jade might not actually be human. But still, that might just be manipulative talk. Is her mother, (or the person who looks very much like she's her mother...) not human? I'm guessing it was still manipulative talk from the bad boss, But this also clears up Pey'J's end credits cliffhanger a bit, though... maybe a little uneventfully for those who have been waiting for so long. The Domz lost control of Jade, but infected Pey'J. I hope they do alright with the "collaboration" part of it... You don't need to be shoving it down a player's throat. This stuff could possibly work in the world (though hopefully this doesn't take over things like a potentially fantastic soundtrack). But HUD and menu elements of this community stuff can be really immersion breaking. Speaking of that stuff. Assassin's Creed Odyssey looks playable. But revealing "RPG" elements have really become an immersion breaker for me. A while ago they seemed to have begun a trend of maybe removing things that hurt immersion in games, with options to turn off HUD elements. I'm guessing those are probably still there (haven't played Origins), but.... The level system..... That brings something that I did not want. At least not visibly (but also not strongly progression stopping). Having a character progress, whether it be by skills or acquired gadgets (like from story characters), is much more immersive than a number level. Where you know very well an enemy arbitrarily 1 or 2 levels above you will fuck you up. But also really, just the appearance of a level and of a skill tree is immediately immersion breaking. Immediately shows that "I'M A GAME!!!"   You might be able to turn off the level number just on the hud, but you aren't gonna be avoiding the skill tree really. Starlink, imo, still looks really cool. The Star Fox addition could also be potentially awesome, though.... of course only on Switch. And I'm curious how much that is locked down. Like... In Rocket League, you almost can't customize any of the promotional 3rd party IP DLCs. You aren't allowed. The StarFox ship/ships aren't going to be able to use other weapons are they? But also.... What's the likelyhood that the overall amount you have to pay to buy parts for these physical ships that the game requires will be abused like everything else along this similar line?....
Also, Uplay has a Starter version of For Honor that they're giving away for free for like a week or something.

You know that Knox statue they've had in their streams?.... They're selling 500 of them... for $750.
Honestly, I'd be more tempted for a Pey'J statue. lol

Jodi Forrest (Jade) died on June 25, 2018. (62) 
Man, that's sucks.
She probably wasn't going to be voiced by her in the prequel anyways, but I don't know.
Now I'm really curious if the new Jade will be voiced by the girl you meet early on in The Crew 2. As Ubisoft loves to use the same-sounding voice actors... And she's actually pretty close to Jade. Though I'm not sure how young Jade's actually meant to be here (or if she didn't/doesn't age). She was still pretty young in the original as well, even with the tomboy voice.
